Answer 1

Try this:

array(
    'name'=>'Comment',
    'header'=>'Comment',
    'type'=>'raw',
    'value'=>'( strlen($data["comment"]) > 35
        ? CHtml::tag("span", array("title"=>$data["comment"]), CHtml::encode(substr($data["comment"], 0, 35)) . "..")
        : CHtml::encode($data["comment"])
    );',
),

You may need to build a custom CGridColumn class for your column and then build an expression-capable title.

I'd look at the columns that are available in the extensions area on the Yii website for ideas: http://www.yiiframework.com/extensions/?tag=column

Both of these columns do similar things (I've used and overriden both of them), so you should be able to take their ideas and make your own column class simply: http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/jtogglecolumn/ http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/gridcolumns/
