Re: Cross Application Sesssion
Hi Mandy, Plugins will 'suffer' the same problem as a seperate app, I wrote a short blog on the topic and how to work around it. It's possible that the same approach would work for multiple apps, haven´t tried that. http://www.noswad.me.uk/blogs/view/28 Cheers, AD7six PS.

Hi All,

Is it going to be possible to specify which relationships are included
in the main model query in 1.2, or to specify constraints for
subsequent queries (I´m guessing it is)? If not, as is the present
case constraints for hasMany and HABTM relationship tables won´t be
possible to include - unless something else has changed..?
Tease me, tease me :).
You can work around it, but it´s a bit messy - Query the sub table,
resort the array apply any kind of filtering and then get the array
items that correspond to your pagination values. I have some example
code for this somewhere..

Re: User Bar Logic
Is 'Username' really capitalized as the table name in your schema?Cake conventions would make this lowercase.So if you made it lower case in the db schema, but then try to refer to it as sentence/camel case the variable Username would not actually exist because it is really 'username'.

Re: Pagination for hasMany assocation
Pagination is being added to the core in Cake 1.2. Using 1.2 you can
set up basic pagination on models or associated models by doing the
following in your controller:
var $paginate = array('limit' => 20, 'order' => ...); // Anything you
can pass to Model::findAll can be set here
That's to set the defaults, which can be overridden in POST or URL
parameters. You can retrieve the records using the paginate( ) method
in your actions, as follows:
$this->paginate('ImageVersion', $this->params); // Assuming
$this->params contains named arguments like 'page', etc.
Sorry, there isn't any documentation on this yet, and the API isn't
even finalized. I will be working on this, as well as a helper to
render pagination links in the coming week.

Re: url and routing
Hi, darx: Having the language code in the url makes total sense, is perfectly RESTful, simple to do, and highly recommended from my site. I did it before on fg-webdesign.de and it works well for that purpose (it's a small static site using texilte as markup). Dieter: Alright, as I already tried to communicate numerous times, I'm not criticizing you for trying to build a website with i18n url's, I criticized the available ways of achieving it - concluding in the opinion that it's not worth it for me. You do a web site for school, you might enjoy it, it's small (?), only 1 language, I can see it work out. But a lot (not all) of the people think of it in the context of somewhat bigger sites that they work on for a fixed prize (or hourly payment), supporting 2 or more languages. And ROI(Return on Investment) probably plays an important part in their way to create a page. So I was talking to the mailing list in general, more then I was talking to you specifically, you just happened to be the one who brought up the topic ; ). In general, I'm not opposed to i18n url's. I'd love to have them in fact. So if somebody out there makes it so that it's really easy, I'll start using them with high respect for to the clever guy that made it possible.

Re: url and routing
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] happy it's not just a problem of mine and if you can, please post you code with split $from_url. I need some good examples from which to learn ;) > Felix, mouth I agree with you guys. We don't need to translate URL: common user doesn't care about it. But i need to categorize url in some way to know if a user is requesting an IT or an EN content.I mean: it's a knowledge i use post looking at log files to have some statistics about the traffic on the site. Thats' why I need to prefix to my action the /lang/ pseudo path. We need to filter our web log files to tell our customers how people is behaving in their sites and it's easier if you can parse a log file knowing exactly that an /IT/ token leads to an Italian content. :) I use SESSION to track down language user preference, being able to serve different views with dynamic and stati content completely translated (I work only on small/medium size sites).

Re: url and routing
Wow, an interesting debate :). I too have been considering i18n URLs, and also concluded that it was too much work. I have to agree with Felix, nobody except 'power' users and developers looks at the url, so it's pretty much pointless anyway. The routing part isn't really a problem, as you can take the url, translate it back to english and then run your routes (that's how I was considering doing it). That way it isn't necessary to generate a massive route list. The real problem is as already mentioned - links from the page also need i18n and the overhead in doing so is at the very least annoying; I was considering hooking in a service to take the english url (assuming the code is in english) and return a translated url (probably not enormously difficult, if you just explode the url and translate each part). Maybe I'll put an experiment in place in the future and see if it's worth thinking about further, but at this time, I don't think so.

Re: url and routing
As promised, here is my solution.
fresh from the kitchen, so it needs some cooling down.
but it's eatable i think (at least it tastes good to me!)
in routes.php add this _BEFORE_ your routes
include_once("translate.php");
$from_url = translate($from_url);
then create translate.php in the same folder as routes.php and put this
in it:
(make sure there are no newlines or whitespace outside the php tags!)
1)$new[1] =
translate($old[1],"action");
/* copy remaining entries, if any.
array_merge() is not suitable
for this :( */
for ($i = 2; $i < sizeof($old); $i++)
{
$new[$i] = $old[$i];
}
/* construct the translated url. this also
adds a trailing "/"
even if it wasn't in the original */
$new_url="";
foreach($new as $n)
{
$new_url .= $n."/";
}
return $new_url;
}
else
{
$table = array('controller' =>
array('nieuws' => 'news',
'aanbiedingen' =>
'offers'
),
'action'=> array('bekijk' => 'view',
'verwijder' => 'delete',
'voegtoe' => 'add'
)
);
if(isset($table[$level]))
{
foreach ($table[$level] as $orig =>
$new)
{
if($var == $orig) $var = $new;
}
}
else
{
if(DEBUG) echo("translate table for
level ".$level." not found:

}

Re: url and routing
Hi Dieter, Uhm, afaik, every url must do a pass trough the routing system, so if you put all your "mapping" , or "filtering" logic in there, you can change it there, and only there, in case anything needs to changed (please, correct me if i'm wrong) Ok, I'll make a couple examples of the problems with url translations in the context of a mid-sized internationalized (let's 3 languages) site: Every $html->link(); will have to have imbedded logic to know which language to use, otherwise you need different versions for *every* view which seems very un-DRY to me. All _javascript_ that uses url's alot (aka ajax) will have to know about the url routing logic A lot of characters from other languages get escaped in url's, so you either have to use workarounds (like oe for ö in German) or life with very ugly urls Debugging Missing Controller / Missing Action errors becomes a mess because you never quite know if it's a bug in the routing system, a problem with your controller, or your url itself You make your site less RESTful. /posts/1 is very RESTful. /posts/view/1 is kinda RPC. /posts/view/my-great-post is a little nightmare in terms of REST, since "my-great-post" as an identifier might changes or looses uniqueness. But /beitraege/ansehen/mein-toller-beitrag is a big piece of #$!%, since somebody who doesn't speak german doesn't know which controller this relates to, which action it triggers, and even less what resource you talk about. Don't go there *ever* if you plan to create a webservice for your site, you'll be in great pain. Orginzational overhead is big: For every controller/action you create you need to do n translations to make them work in a different language, given that you are not crazy enough to use an approach like mixed-language-url's if not all translations are available. Now all of those problems are just off the cuff. Coding the thing will show a lot more problems that you maybe couldn't even imagine before. But given that my quick-list is pretty long already and some of the issues are fairly severe, you should be able to see WHAT kind of mess you are dealing with. and yes, imo the user benefits from an url in his own language. not every visitor understands english decently enough to understand _all_ urls (which can get complicated if you get difficult words as actions) Sure he does, if he would actually *read* urls. Unless your target audience is a bunch of web developers and geeks, you'll soon realize that people don't even *look* at anything but the domain in a url, and even that they don't really do (talking about phishing). Is it worth hours and hours of your time to work on a cute little detail (that's really all it is) compared to the amount of features you could add to the web site in the same time? I know the answer for myself. Just take my advice, I like pretty url's a lot. I tried to create internationalized url's before and it always ended up being a big mess, tons of work and almost killed the project. I'm not going there again, ever (unless somebody comes up with a really easy way to do it, that is). But hey, if you still think it's worth it, do it. I'd like to hear about your success with it and would be very impressed if you can make it a worthwhile cause.

...and then take a look to $this->params['language'] in Your

line for 'bare' calls etc... ;-)

I have to agree with every word in Your post, Felix.
For all experimentators with variable $from_url in
app/config/routes.php - dont't forget some things:
--> caching mechanism is URL based, so if You will play with URI in
bootstrap.php and with $from_url in routes.php, I'm 'not sure' about
filenames of Your cached views
--> if You're using some 'shortcuts' like $Route->connect('/login',
array('controller'=>'users', 'action'=>'login')), You will probably
want to translate them also...
--> if You want complex solution, You will have to play with
app/config/inflections.php also...
--> whole this thing is supposed to be builded around stable
browser-language detection, default language configuration option,
method for saving selected language (session and/or cookie and/or
something else for wap etc) AND - file/model based unified translation
system - to be honest I'm pretty sure this is 'more then possible' ;-)
in this time - with CakePHP actual trunk code, with classes I18n and
L10n from 1.2 branch, some patch to cake/basics.php file, with some
LanguageSelector component and model-based solution with usage of
bindModel() and unbindModel(), with custom validation methods... ;-)
BTW: More I know Cake's code, more I like it. And there are such a
sweet things on the road:
- Router will be enhanced in next few days...
- behaviours implementation is just knocking on the door...
SHORT VERSION OF THIS POST:
Wait for CakePHP 1.2

Re: url and routing
Hi, I find this topic quite interesting myself and as far as internationalized urls go I came to one conclusion: It's insane! The amount of work you have to put into it, in order for it to work throughout your entire system is incredible. Now you only want to do it for 1 language and 1 specific project which makes it a lot easier. But for anything beyond that I think it's just pure craziness. Think about all the logic you need to run every time you use a link on the site somewhere! Just think of all the errors you could introduce by adding an *additional* layer to your (Uniform) Resource Identification system! Made an error in the translation from one English controller name and discover it after 3 month -> tons of broken urls (you can keep legacy url support, but that's work)! Another point is: Who benefits from it? The user? He cares less if it says /posts/view/mein-toller-beitrag or (completly in German) /beitraege/anschauen/mein-toller-beitrag. I mean really, no one, but us web developers is as obsessed with the way urls should look like. Search engines? They don't care much as long as they get their little title-in-url (mein-toller-beitrag), they care less about the /posts/view/ part. Now ok, to stop ranting (sorry for that), I think if you can pull it off with a reasonable amount of work, go for it. But if you feel like you spent as much time on it as you do on some major features of the site itself, I'd ask if it's worth it. That's just my opinion.

Hi All, why not use the html helper for this, that's what the tableCells method seems to be for..? You can see an example here: http://wiki.cakephp.org/tutorials:i18n#messages_dynamic_content Note that if you have cake pre 3228, the count declaration in the html helper is incorrect and should be: static $count=0; HTH, AD7six --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: User Bar Logic
Hi All,
Let's look at it this way:
1) If a line of code like $this->set('Foo',$bar); is executed by any
controller, a variable named $Foo will be available in the view/layout
with the contents $bar.
2) If you define a method in your app_controller and in one of your
controllers you override the method, you can run the parent code by
calling parent::methodName();
Therefore, for example, if you create in app_controller:
function beforeRender() {
$this->set('Foo',$bar);
}
and in any child controller than needs to use this method you code it
as:
function beforeRender() {
... specific logic...
parent::beforeRender();
}
Then the variable $foo will always be present in your view/layout.
HTH,
AD7six
