YiiBooster - JsonGridView

The following grid, displays 50 rows on each page from a table of around 4000 records (not indexed).

Note This widget requires special server config:

you have to render your grid in a partial view alone
it is recommended to set the response header type to json
you should check if request is ajax, then render partial your partial view

if (Yii::app()->getRequest()->getIsAjaxRequest()) {
	header( 'Content-type: application/json' );
	$this->renderPartial('_grid', compact('model'));
	Yii::app()->end();
}
