arrays - Yii php: Displaying a widget in a Tab

i've been using Yii framework for some time now, and i've been really having a good time especially with these widgets that makes the development easier. I'm using Yii bootsrap for my extensions..but i'm having a little trouble understanding how each widget works.

My question is how do i display the widget say a TbDetailView inside a tab?
i basically want to display contents in tab forms..however some of them are in table forms...some are in lists, detailviews etc.

I have this widget :

$this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbDetailView',array(
        'data'=>$model,
        'attributes'=>$attributes1,
        )); 

that i want to put inside a tab

$this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbWizard', array(
    'tabs' => $tabs,
    'type' => 'tabs', // 'tabs' or 'pills'
    'options' => array(
        'onTabShow' => 'js:function(tab, navigation, index) {
            var $total = navigation.find("li").length;

            var $current = index+1;
            var $percent = ($current/$total) * 100;
            $("#wizard-bar > .bar").css({width:$percent+"%"});
        }',
    ),

and my $tabs array is declared like this :

$tabs = array('studydetails' => 

array(
'id'=>'f1study-create-studydetails', 
'label' => 'Study Details', 
'content' =>//what do i put here?),
...
...);

when i store the widget inside a variable like a $table = $this->widget('boots....);
and use the $table variable for the 'content' parameter i get an error message like:

Object of class TbDetailView could not be converted to string

I don't quite seem to understand how this works...i need help..Thanks :)

Answer

You can use a renderPartial() directly in your content, like this:

'content'=>$this->renderPartial('_tabpage1', [] ,true),

Now yii will try to render a file called '_tabpage1.php' which should be in the same folder as the view rendering the wizard. You must return what renderPartial generates instead of rendering it directly, thus set the 3rd parameter to true.
