Comparing operators like >,< >=,<= to search in GridView

[VenuNarukulla]

Yii1 Gridview has a feature to search with comparing operators like >,< >=,<= in GridView,

I can't see they are working now with gii generated code?

where have you seen this feature? its only in debug module afaik in Yii2.

@Ragazzo yii1.1 has this.

[VenuNarukulla]

I think that will be much useful having it.

related to #2315

hmm. any workaround on this?
we used this feature heavily in our yii1 projects and was confused thats not working right now.

the use case is simple.. you have a grid with a bunch of dates and you only want to see the data after a specific date... or an int anything bigger than xyz and so on.

if anyone needs a workaround:

 public function search($params)
    {
        $query = AllEdition::find();

        $dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([
            'query' => $query,
        ]);

        if (isset($_GET['EvtSearch']) && !($this->load($params) && $this->validate())) {
            return $dataProvider;
        }

        foreach (AllEdition::getSearchColumns() as $columnname){
            $operator = $this->getOperator($this->$columnname);
            $operand = str_replace($operator,'',$this->$columnname);
            $query->andFilterWhere([$operator, $columnname, $operand]);
        }

        return $dataProvider;
    }

    private function getOperator($qryString){
        switch ($qryString){
            case strpos($qryString,'>=') === 0:
                $operator = '>='; 
            break;
            case strpos($qryString,'>') === 0:
                $operator = '>';
                break;
            case strpos($qryString,'<=') === 0:
                $operator = '<=';
                break;
            case strpos($qryString,'<') === 0:
                $operator = '<';
                break;
            default:
                $operator =  'like';
                break;
        }
        return $operator;
    }

I did this to filter pages on number of views:

if (!empty($this->views)) {
            preg_match('/(<=|>=|<|>)/', $this->views, $operator);
            preg_match('/\d+/', $this->views, $views);
            $operator = isset($operator[0]) ? $operator[0] : '=';
            $views = isset($views[0]) ? $views[0] : '0';

            $query->andFilterWhere([$operator,'views', $views]);
        }

how did you archive that the operator comes back to the filter field after filtering?
