Looking for PHP Yii web client control that acts like `Gmail Label` dropdown

I'm working on PHP & Yii framework. Currently I found that filtering my data would be best fit with an HTML control that behave the same way as Gmail's label dropdown list does; e.g. the below screenshot.

The dropdown allow us to:

  1. Multiple selection
  2. Filter box to shorten the list based on keywords
  3. Command button allow to select/deselect all

Is it possible to archive that in Yii/PHP?

Solution

  • Your best bet is to search for a jQuery or similar plugin that will do the work for you and then wrap it in a component.

    https://github.com/freshbooks/jquery-selectpicker

    and

    http://code.google.com/p/jaldropdown/

    Are examples, but it depends on the exact implementation.

    If you do a good job you could contribute the control back to the yii website for other people to use :)
