RE: need advice
Well, AFAIK, since the element and helpers are on the same level, they can't
call each other.
Quick fix is: generate your code from the helper on the view first, then
cut-paste the result to the element code.
Let us know if anyone else has a better answer.
BTW, I've used a helper in an element, but the element is inside the view
(not in the layout).

Hi,
i'm just begginer to cakePHP and i need some adivce.
I would like to build webapp which will be using something like this:
renderElement('menu'); ?>
In main i put main content of my page. in menu i would like to put menu
whit login and some useful stuph. As i've seen in manual that second
dynamic content which i can put in view is only Element object. And
there all variables which i need i must pass manual. Ok, i can do that,
but in Element as i tested i can't use $html->form and other stuph
(Fatal error: Call to undefined method HtmlHelper::form() in
C:\wamp\www\app\views\elements\menu.thtml on line 6.).
Can somebody explain me how to do correctly? Mabye good thing is to
build menu somewhere else, not in Element?
Best Regards,
ptc.

Re: Table associations the CakePHP way
First you'll have to create correct associations for your Models (if you don't know how or too lazy to read the manual, ask again). Second, try dumping the whole thing you got from the Model->findAll or findBy... using debug($[modelname]->[functionname]); You'll see that accessing category.name and layout.name is just an array away from the main result.

Hello,
I've been having some problems with a findBy function.
When I've called the method with a not empty string as argument, it
worked fine, but when I've passed an empty string, Cake generated the
query with the WHERE clause like:
WHERE (`User`.`username` = )
I've spent a bit of time searching for the problem cause in Cake
sources (a great benefit of open source software, you can explore it
yourself), and came up changing dbo_source.php line #1380 from:
if ($match['2'] != '' && !is_numeric($match['2'])) {
to:
if (!is_numeric($match['2']))
What solved the problem. Have anyone had a similar problem before?
I have commented all relations inside my model declaration. I'm running
PHP 5.2.0, MySQL 5.0.27 and CakePHP 1.1.11.4064.

RE: Joining 2 tables - better practice?
Not that I know of, and can't think of anything easy to implement. Unless you created a non-normal view where each Product row will have their own Holiday fields (therefore, duplicating Holiday fields for every Product row). CMIIW, are you creating an array of Product for a specific Holiday only?

I don't think that Session is accessible from Model. But CMIIW.
If the above is true, then you'll need to move the matching logic into the
controller. You can use the beforeFilter callback function on the active
Controller to validate accessible shops.

If this works, I could just read the $shop['User'] to check if the

Any better way to get this working?

RE: Joining 2 tables - better practice?
OK, so basically you have an array on top of everything. That's why you
can't debug($data['Product']); or loop it directly.
For this particular $data, to iterate through each product, you will need to
use:
Foreach ($data as $holiday) {
Foreach ($holiday['Prodcut'] as $product) {
[Write your code here]
}
}
If this still doesn't work, it's either you omitted something else important
on your e-mail, or something really-really bad have happened. If this
doesn't help, please provide us with the $this->set(); statement from the
controller.

The way that this should work out is that $data would hold only
products that are under the certain holiday, which itl ooks like it is
doing from the output.
So in the view, it will use a foreach loop and display each product
from $data.

Assumed that you do a findAll from the controller to variable named holiday.
You can access it from $holiday['Holiday']['Product'] array.
If you're not sure, you can try inserting

to see the structure of your variable.

Well, the first param for the findAll is the "SQL condition". CakePHP is not
smart enough (yet) to understand arrays of conditions, it just accepts a
string and place it after the WHERE clause in the SQL statement.
To answer your question, change the array into it's SQL language (i.e.
global=1 AND user_id='$id');

RE: can I use generateList( ) get rather than Id?
To simplify your code, you can define var $displayField = 'name' in your
Model, and have everything generated by the generateList(); <-- no params
necessary.
You will need to utilize Javascript on your second question.
On the first selectTag, add 'onChange' => 'javascript:changeSelect();' on
the fourth param. Then create a script (or load from external file)
containing the method changeSelect.
This method should check what is the current value of the first selectTag,
and then modify the second selectTag based on it.
Kinda hard, but when you tried Javascript once, it'll get easier.

RE: how manage more than one operation in the same view
1. You have several different options. You can use requestAction to call
other controller/action and display the results in the current
view/controller. If you only need the view (not the logic from the
controller/action), you can move the view code to an element, and call the
renderElement function.
2. First thing you should understand, one controller does not have to use
only one model (i.e. MapsController and Map), it can use more than one (i.e.
MapsController using Map and Region), or it can use no model at all.
To define what models available from a certain controller, you can add this
line below:
var $uses = array('Model1', 'Model2', ...);
in your controller. Also, associated models can be called without being
declared on var $uses. For example, if you have Model1 belongsTo Model2, you
can call Model2 function like this:
$this->Model1->Model2->save();

Particulary we need help about the following matters:
- how to manage more than one operation with the same Model in the same

view not through a link but showing them in the same page).
- how manage several operations with many Models in the same page (for
example we would like a page wherein put the list of Model1, a choice
filled with Model2 and a form to update an item of the Model2).
Your help is very important for us!!

No, you should put var $helpers (notice the 's') on your code. And keep the 'Javascript'.

Re: why getLastInsertID doesn't work?
Maybe something wrong with custom query?
I've never used any custom query (with $this->execute($sql)) and never had
any problem with getLastInsertId.
IMO, I think you need to return the last insert id manually if you're usnig
custom query. CMIIW.

Re: Replacing Html Helper
No, you don't need to. You can call other function just like they belong to your controller.

RE: Multiple HATBM (n:n) using the same model for different purposes
Well, the final choice is always yours. :D IMO, creting a Model to simulate HABTM would be rough on the programming side, since you have to define extra logic to save them (e.g., for each assoc, you need to save it). This is not the case when you use pure HABTM, just throw in an array, and Cake does the rest. I'm just being easy. But easy doesn't exactly correct/good. On a note: if you have several models that behaves similarly, it might well considering OOP inheritance. That way, you reduce DRY (don't repeat yourselft), which is one of the reason OOP is invented. -Original Message- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of clemos Sent: 29 Nopember 2006 0:08 To: cake-php@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Multiple HATBM (n:n) using the same model for different purposes hi adrian and marcelo you're probably right about the "feasibility" of customizing HABTM infos. then, to me, the solution would rather to make one single additional model (say : EventStoreRelation) that would "simulate" the HABTM table : it would belongTo both one Event and one Store, and would also have a column like "type", that would define the relationship between the event and the store, and so on... these relationships can be defined as an array is this model (like I said in my previous post). then if you have to add a "type", you don't even have to make a new table or a new model, you just have to add an entry in this array... because it looks like the relationships actually aren't that different, and anyway this additionnal model can probably handle different features for the different "types"... and my experience makes me think it's better to try to have as less models as possible, especially if several models actually have a similar behaviour. or maybe I misunderstood you ? +++ clemos On 11/28/06, Adrian Godong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is the second solution feasible?

Create your own helper, inherited from HtmlHelper. Then override the dateTimeOptionTag on you helper.

RE: Multiple HATBM (n:n) using the same model for different purposes
Is the second solution feasible? I mean AFAIK, if you stick to the default CakePHP implementation of HABTM, you can't have any other field other than the two PK/FK fields. Take a look at how CakePHP handles saving HABTM assoc from the manual. If you want to "relate" model A with model B, when saving model A, you will need to accompany it with array of model B _id's_. There's no extra data saved here. Unless, of course, you have a "fake" HABTM model. My proposed solution would be the first one. Why? 1. It provide a clear disctinction between each relation. Those relations are _different_, right? 2. It provide a more cohesive structure. When, just in case, you need to add another relation between event and store (say, stores that sells/has rare tickets), you won't need to touch the currently running code. You can say it's a more pluggable architecture (because it is simpler to add things later). 3. It's easier to do the associations (one for each assoc), access data (don't need to process anything on the logic, everything's done on the database), and edit (you know that Cake deletes all of the HABTM relation for a specific ID before inserting new ones -- that is, unless you managed to create a custom update/save query). Just my 2 cents. -Original Message- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of clemos Sent: 28 Nopember 2006 18:26 To: cake-php@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Multiple HATBM (n:n) using the same model for different purposes hi marcelo I'm not really a guru, but your second solution looks the best to me. Then, if the "relationship_types" don't need to be editable, you can just let them "static". For exemple you can define them as an array in your Event model : $store_types = array( 0 => "regular seller", 1 => "VIP seller", 2 => "partner" ); And you have an int column in your habtm table called store_type or something At least, that's what I would do.

I have 2 approaches - 1) Put user_name also in the friends table 2) Loop through all friends and for every entry go to the user table to get the user first name What do you guys suggest? 2nd one will have lots of select queries whereas first one would just duplicate data?

RE: Location of foreign key
Faced a similar problem here. I have a details table that can hold file detail (like filename, location, etc) for other tables, say videos, ebooks, and musics. The "correct" association would be videos hasOne details, and details hold the FK. But when you add the other two tables, that means details will hold the (nullable) FK for videos, ebooks, and musics. Not good. So I reversed the database structure. Now when you add a record in videos, ebooks, or musics, it will create the corresponding details record, and associate it with details_id FK found in each table. I know this looks silly, but this is the best, most flexible design I can create. If any other table needs an association with details, the only table that needs to be changed would be the new table. Nothing else in the database needs changing. This just doesn't happen if you have the FK in the details table. Anybody with a better database solution? Oh, and constraint checking; such as making sure that a single details record has only one association with either videos, ebooks, or musics, should be done in the business logic. The database platform simply does not have that kind of information (or would be quite hard to implement with SQL). -Original Message- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikee Freedom Sent: 10 Nopember 2006 10:29 To: cake-php@googlegroups.com Subject: Location of foreign key Afternoon all, This may be a stupid question but I would like to know as it would make life somewhat simpler at the end of the day. In a hasOne relationship address: e.g. User hasOne UserDetail Where the users table includes core user information and the user_details table includes additional information (just an example). Normally I would put the user_id in to the user_details table yes? and the hasOne association set in the User model would always return the UserDetail data. What if I wanted a single table to act as the one to many tables (if that makes sense). For example: donations orders payments will be three different methods that a user can pay money on a particular site I'm working on. Each of these will be using the same payment gateway which has supplies certain information that I would like to record. I like to record this in a seperate table in case I need to switch gateways at any point. So, I would usually have just the one table, like so: orders -> recording amount paid, and other information order_gateway_details -> recording particular gateway stuff for this order [bad table names I know but it's late on a friday afternoon] now i would be forced to create three seperate gateway_details tables. order_gateway_details donation_gateway_details payment_gateway_details is it acceptable to put the id of the gateway details in to the orders, donations, and payments table? that way I could record all of the details in the one table where they belong. yet still reference them from their respective payment methods. I would be reversing the relationship I realise - gateway_details doesn't ever have one donation (etc). but it would make life easier... this is not cool is it? penny for your thoughts. cheers, mikee --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

RE: Quest for the holy grail of the cakePHP-Eclipse setups
I just tried your link and it seems that the PHP IDE plugin hosted on eclipse.org IS the Zend PHP IDE for Eclipse. I'm sorry for the confusion created from my previous mail. -Original Message- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bert Van den Brande Sent: 09 Nopember 2006 18:36 To: cake-php@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Quest for the holy grail of the cakePHP-Eclipse setups I use the Zend Eclipse ( http://www.zend.com/phpide ).

But I've seen some tutorial instructions somewhere on how to do it ... The Zend Eclipse IDE works pretty good for me with functions and class lookups, code completion, templates and such ... alltough I still need to tackle the debugging features.

Re: Quest for the holy grail of the cakePHP-Eclipse setups
Hi,I'm using Eclipse 3.2.0 + PHP plugin from Eclipse (not PHPEclipse)Local workspace setup is just like your number 1. I will have one cake lib for each project.Source control is using CVS. Currently no problem accessing, updating, or comitting. BTW about test suites, any links on how to use it? It's not stated at all in the manual.On 11/9/06, Sonic Baker < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:There has been some talk on the list about the kinds of editors people use for cakePHP development. Some people have mentioned Eclipse (among others) for a good all round IDE. I personally have been using both 'kate' and 'Quanta' (built on top of kate) for my cakePHP development and while I have no real complaints, these would probably fall in the category of Editors rather than IDE's. So, in my continuing quest to become ever more efficient, and taking into account that there was a mention of EasyEclipse, I've decided to give it a shot and see what advantages an IDE like Eclipse has to offer. One other reason for going with Eclipse over others is the fact that it's open source. However, I'm pretty much a total noob at Eclipse and although the nice people over at EasyEclipse have made it easier to get you up and running, managing cake projects is not as obvious as it would first seem. Some of the things I'd like to get out of eclipse are:(1) Integration with the cakePHP test suite - At present it works with SimpleTest but how would the cakePHP version sit with it?(2) Integration with subversion (3) Integration with the cakePHP itselfThe first thing that struck me was where to start a workspace and where to start a project?Presently I'm using the trunk core checkout from the subversion repository and so my directory structure is: /var/www/workspace/cake/1.x.x.x/appI thought this way I could keep all my cake projects within the same workspace. So I defined my workspace as '/var/www/workspace' hoping to create a project in 'cake/1.x.x.x/project_name'. This gives me the error:'Project contents cannot be inside workspace directory'WahFrom talking to the guys over on the EasyEclipse IRC channel I've discovered that this kind of layout will not be possible till the soon to be released 1.2 version.However, since others here are already using Eclipse it makes me think that perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way altogether. Talking to our own guys on the #cakephp IRC channel I've found two alternatives. (1) Put the entire cake core in a project of it's own, so you would have '/var/www/workspace/project1'. The 'project1' directory would contain the entire cake framework and of course your 'app' directory. However, if I wanted to create a second cakePHP project I would have to make 'project1' which would also contain the entire framework and would not allow me to share my cakePHP core across multiple projects. (2) Edit app/webroot/index.php and move the cake core to the root of the workspace. So I'd have '/projects/cake', '/projects/app1', and '/projects/app2'. In order to deploy this to the server I'd have to either use the same directory structure on the server, or use a second branch for the live application. Another thing that struck me was using subversion with eclipse. Usually, when using svn you import your new project, delete the old one and check a working copy out from the repository. So with Eclipse, I create a project (which creates the '.project' file), maybe bake or copy in my 'app' directory, check it into the repo, delete the whole lot and then check a wc out of the repo again. This seems like and awful waste to me. How do you do it? To all Eclipse users out there: How do you have your Eclipse setup working with cakePHP? Have you integrated the test suite? How do you handle Subversion?As I'm new to Eclipse, I'm sure there are tons of stuff I'm missing here. If you point me in the right direction of even one of them I'd be very greatfull.

RE: How to display Child categories of self-pointed Model?
You should change the name of the 'association'. E.g.:
...
var $belongsTo = array(
'ParentCategory' =>
array('className' => 'Category',
...
And
...
var $hasMany = array(
'ChildCategory' =>
array('className' => 'Category',
...
Good luck!

Subject: How to display Child categories of self-pointed Model?
Hi all,
I have a Model Category:
VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'description' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
);
//The Associations below have been created with all possible keys,
those that are not needed can be removed
var $belongsTo = array(
'Categories' =>
array('className' => 'Category',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => 'Categories.ord ASC',
'foreignKey' => 'category_id',
'counterCache' => ''),
);
var $hasMany = array(
'Categories' =>
array('className' => 'Category',
'foreignKey' => 'category_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => 'Categories.ord ASC',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'dependent' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderSql' => '',
'counterSql' => ''),
'Post' =>
array('className' => 'Post',
'foreignKey' => '',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'dependent' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderSql' => '',
'counterSql' => ''),
);
}
?>
And the table that serves Category:
CREATE TABLE `categories` (
`id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`category_id` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`name` varchar(50) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL,
`description` varchar(255) collate utf8_bin NOT NULL,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `category_id` (`category_id`,`name`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin
COMMENT='Categories' AUTO_INCREMENT=8 ;
By doing:
$this('categories', $this->Category->findAll())
I can only display the Parent Category, which is containted in the
array $categories['Categories']
I don't know how to find, retrieve & display Child Categories. Please
give a hint.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Apprentice.

RE: how to call a function when somebody click a link?
Mm... Not quite right. To put it easily, here’s how: First, read about MVC in the CakePHP manual. It gives a big picture about the whole web thing. From what I understand, what you’re trying to do is to add a logic (code that processes objects and stuff) into your view (the THTML file). While possible, this is NOT a preferred way. All of the logic (including any functions) need to be placed on the controller. The controller will pass data to the view via $this->set(‘key’, ‘value’) method. The view will never need to process anything but the values set from the above method. The less the client (or the view) need to know about how to process data, the better your solution would be. Don’t hesitate to send back the data/tag/extra info to the server (using POST - or GET - ). That’s just the way the web works.
