Model-execute custom query (update) in RC3

2008-10-18 Thread Mike52

I have a problem in an application after upgrading from 1.2.0.6311
beta to RC3.

The controller has this statement in an action:
  $this-Advert-execute(update adverts set status='A' where id=1);

In RC3, the query that is actually fired to the database is the
string: 'execute'.
This obviously gives an error.

I noticed that the Model-execute method is no longer in the API
documentation or in the cookbook. Is the above problem a bug, or has
the execute method been deprecated?

Replacing execute by query seems to fix the problem:
  $this-Advert-query(update adverts set status='A' where id=1);

Thanks,
Mike

Cake 1.2 RC2: syntax for BETWEEN operator changed?

2008-06-28 Thread Mike52

I am having trouble specifying a paginator condition with the BETWEEN
operator after upgrading to RC2.

In 1.2.0.6311 beta:
$paginatorScope[Advert.status BETWEEN] = A AND B;

generates corresponding SQL:
`Advert`.`status` BETWEEN 'A' AND 'B'

In 1.2.0.7296 RC2 the same condition generates:
`Advert`.`status` = 'BETWEEN A AND B'

If I change the condition to:
$paginatorScope[Advert.status BETWEEN] = A AND B;

this generates:
`Advert`.`status` BETWEEN 'A AND B'

Looks slightly better, but still not valid SQL. What is the correct
way to specify the BETWEEN syntax in RC2 ?

Re: reset Session variables without any visible cause

2008-06-12 Thread Mike52

Whether I use:
  $_SESSION['captcha']
or
  $this-Session-read('captcha')

this does not make a difference in the behavior.
The security level was already set to low.

To me this definitely looks like a bug in RC1.

 $this-controller-Session != $_SESSION

 Also, if Security.level set to 'high' you might want to bring it down

 Configure::write('Security.level', 'medium');

 Maybe I am wrong, and this was base to the 1.2 branch few weeks ago. I
 will make some more tests.

Validation on fields not in model (1.2)

2008-05-18 Thread Mike52

I have a problem setting the error text on a form field that is not
associated with the model.

This is my situation:
I have a registration form that allows a user to submit his email
address. This form contains an input field for a captcha. The captcha
text is not part of the model. And nor should it be, in my option, as
it is controller logic.

The controller validates the value of the captcha field. Currently, my
controller action looks like this:

  function register() {
if (!empty($this-data)) {
  if ($this-data['User']['captcha'] != $_SESSION['captcha']) {
$this-Session-setFlash('Incorrect captcha code entered');
$this-data['User']['captcha'] = '';
return;
  }

This works, but it does not display an appropriate error text near the
captcha field.
How can I set the error message/status on this field?

Thanks,
Mike

Re: SQL log not showing when debug set to 2 (Cake 1.2)

2008-05-04 Thread Mike52

Hi, I tried your suggestions:

1. I have the default CSS
2. Tried to disable cache, makes no difference
3. I am using MySql 5.0.41. It is part of the WOS package (http://
www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/wos/wos.htm)
4. DboSource::close() is indeed not being called. I put an echo
statement in this method, and it does not display anything on screen
in the development environment.

So the question is: Why is DboSource::close() not being called in my
development environment?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike.

 Have you tried disabling cache in core.php?

 Configure::write('Cache.disable', true);

 What database are you using? I wonder if the wrapper isn't calling
 DboSource::close() (which, in turn, displays the log table).

 Also, DboSource::showLog() won't create the table for CLI PHP. Maybe
 you have some funky setup? ;-)

Re: XML trouble

2008-05-04 Thread Mike52

You could get the value in a quick-and-dirty way by using a regex.
The function below takes the xml data as a string and you pass it the
name of the tag:

function getTagValue($xmldata, $tag) {
  $pattern = /$tag(.*)\/$tag/;
  preg_match($pattern, $xmldata, $matches);
  return $matches[1];
}

$coordinate = getTagValue($xmlstring, 'coordinates');

debug=2 = page doesn't render in IE6 (cake 1.2)

2007-09-30 Thread Mike52

Using Cake 1.2 (1.2.0.5427alpha)

On Firefox, no problems, but on IE6, I get a blank screen.
If I change debug=1, then I DO get my page in IE 6.

So it is the combination debug=2 and browser=IE6 that causes the
problem.

In IE6, the View | Source shows an empty HTML body, but this this not
reliable for what is really transmitted over http. So I installed
Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com, highly recommended) to debug what
was really going on.

I see here that is page really *is* transmitted. The only strange
thing I see, is that the page has an irregular structure.

It starts with:

pre class=cake_debug
...(44 lines of html deleted) ...
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;
head

So there are many lines before the !DOCTYPE tag.
I have a feeling that this messes up the parsing/rendering in IE6, but
this is really hard to prove.
If I save the same content as an HTML file (after capturing it from
the http proxy), then this file renders fine in IE6.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks,
Mike

HTML tables without borders - How?

2007-09-22 Thread Mike52

Hi,
for layout purposes, I need a table that will display without borders,
or any other table attributes defined in the cakephp stylesheet.
Before you object to using tables for layout purposes: the guy that
makes the layouts does it this way. Getting him to use pure css is a
fifferent discussion.

So a regular table in a view, is displayed with borders.

I tried adding this to the stylesheet:
.plain table {
border-top: none;
border-left: none;
border-bottom: none;
}

And then defining a table as:
table class=plain

But this has no effect whatsoever.

The only way that I have gotten to work is this:
table style=border:none
  trtd style=border:noneCELL_CONTENTS/td/tr
/table

Having to suppress the border for each TD tag is a pain.

There must be an easier way. Suggestions anyone?

Reduce font size in cake.generic.css

2007-09-22 Thread Mike52

I would like to reduce the font size, for all styles.
The effect should be similar to reducing the font size via ctrl-
scrollwheel in the browser.

Can this be easily done in the stylesheet?
I tried adding this to the body selector in the css:
  font-size: 80%;

But this only affected the body text (i.e. not the text enclosed in
other styles).

Do I really need to modify every style in cake.generic.css?
Or is there a way to reduce the base font size, so that all styles
keep their relative size to this base font?

I know that this is more a CSS question than a cakephp question.
Apologies.

Thanks,
Mike

How to change name of view in controller?

2007-09-12 Thread Mike52

In a controller action, I want to set the name of the view that will
be auto-rendered after the action. The render() method renders the
view immediately. I only want to set the name.

The reason is this: I have two views for editing a widget.
The action looks like this:

read widget
if condition {
  set view to edit_small.ctp
} else
  set view to edit_large.ctp
}
if condition1 {
  return
}
if condition 2 {
  return
}

So the action has multiple exit-points. If I were to use the render()
method, I would have to do this at each exit point. It can be done, of
course. But I was wondering whether there is a more elegant way.

Thanks.

Cake 1.2: Displaying checkboxes in view-screens

2007-06-07 Thread Mike52

Hi,
In my Users table I have a boolean field named active and defined as
a tinyint(1).

The Edit screen nicely shows this field as a checkbox. This seems to
be some magic of:
$form-input('active')

Now, this field is simply displayed as a 1 or a 0 in the View or List
screens. The scaffolded code reads:
echo $user['User']['active']

I would like to have the field displayed here as a checkbox also. I
tried a few things, and they are puzzling me:

echo $form-checkbox('User.active', array('checked' = $user['User']
['active'] ))
I would expect this to work, but the checkbox is always unchecked,
regardless of the value of the active field.

Next attempt:
echo $form-checkbox('User.active', array('checked' = $user['User']
['active']==1 ))
Although this seems equivalent to the previous one, it does work.
Displays the field correctly. But you can edit the field in the View
screen (of course it will not save).

So making it display as a disabled checkbox:
echo $form-checkbox('User.active', array('checked' = $user['User']
['active']==1  ,'disabled' = 'disabled'))

OK, this works. Thanks for your attention so far. Now my question:
This is a lot of code for each checkbox. Is there a shorter or more
elegant way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Mike

PS: I am using the nightly build of 1.2 which I grabbed a few days
ago. So if you cannot find $form-checkbox you may need to grab a more
recent version.
PPS: If you want to suggest html-checkbox, it has been deprecated.

One application, different views for each virtual host

2006-06-12 Thread Mike52

Hi,

I want to have one CakePHP application serving several sites. Each site
has its own virtual host.
I want each site to have its own look. I have done this before in
Smarty by simply setting the template directory and the
compiled-template directory. Something like this:

  class AppSmarty extends Smarty  {
function AppSmarty() {// Constructor
  $this-template_dir = 'templates/'   . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
  $this-compile_dir  = 'templates_c/' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
}
  }

How can I do something similar in Cake?
I know I can explicitly render a particular view in a controller
action. But is there an easier way?

And what about:
- /app/views/pages/home.thtml
- /app/views/layouts/default.thtml.

And is there a caching issue to take into account/?

Thanks,
Mike
