Hey all and thank you for reading this post!
I'm a newbie on cakePHP but it's a really fascinating project and
slowly I'm getting the hang of things. It might be that I'm going a
bit too fast and get a bit ahead of myself, but really, I can't see
why I have such problems with components. I'm trying to wrap my head
around some other minor things, I'll mention them below.
Short:
This is for a guestbook I've done. I need to interpret bbCode inside
each users message and translate those into proper html.
I can't really get the grips on what's needed for it to work, perhaps
I'm looking in the wrong direction, but a component seems appropriate.
Longer:
I've tried creating a component using the guide on cakePHP.org. Now,
everything works after doing some extensive search on google and
whatnot. I have problems in the Model/Controller/Component-block. If I
add a file ("Guestbook.php") in the components folder, along with the
code snippets from cakePHP.org I get a fatal error on MySQL telling me
that 'startup' isn't a valid query. Someone in a newsgroup post
mentioned that this could be due to the fact that I haven't defined
the functions in the model. So, I added them there and everything is
fins so far. But no matter what I add to the component file, I get
errors until I add them to the model too. This makes the component
file obsolete, since the functions become duplicated.
What am I missing here?
Short 2:
How do I access instance variables or variables in general? There
aren't getters in cake as far as I've gathered and I find it tricky to
figure out how to get to a specific piece of data within a variable in
a class. I'm sure there's an easy way to read data from variables, but
I just haven't found it.
Thanks for your time, I hope I didn't mess everything up with my
descriptions!
Regards
