Need help with linked tables

[Tony Lambiris]

The way my app works is I have three tables: users, systems and games.

users relates to systems
systems relates to games
users does not relate directly to games

When I am in my User controller, I want to be able to issue a command
like this:
$this->User->System->find("ps3")
and have it return a list of games based off PK systems.id (which
equals games.system_id).

In my models (user.php, system.php and game.php), I have the following
(respectively):

class User extends AppModel {
  var $name = 'User';
  var $hasMany = array('System');
}

class System extends AppModel {
  var $name = 'System';
  var $hasMany = array('Game');
  var $belongsTo = array('User');
}

class Game extends AppModel {
  var $name = 'Game';
  var $belongsTo = array('System');
}

When I try to access my User controller, I get the error:

Fatal error: Class 'Game' not found in
/vhosts/site/cake_1.1.12.4205/cake/libs/model/model_php5.php on line
438

Any ideas? Im kinda new to the MVC world, so it's kind of confusing to
me. I read some where scaffolding helps sort these out visually.

TIA.

Re: IIS Revisited

[UpWorks]

So it all works except on form actions

i am getting action="/hard directory on

what controls this path in a form action, is it in form.php?

Re: Multi-Page Form and mySQL Updates

[devon]

Thanks for your good suggestions. The test is on it's 3rd rev and is
where it should be, I think, in terms of layout and simplicity. It's
just volume and time constraints. Students need to finish in 30 mins
and I can't have any tech issues distracting them. I'll look into the
validation you've suggested.

Re: Multi-Page Form and mySQL Updates

[Langdon Stevenson]

Hi Devon

I built the validation system myself using one of the advanced 
validation patterns listed in the various Cake blogs.  The bottom line 
though was that when validation ran, it checked to see which screen had 
submitted the information, and only processed validation for that screen 
(no need to validate data from previous screens as it must be good since 
it made it to the database/session).

I can't really give you code examples sorry as it was some time ago that 
I built it and it would take me quite a while to dig it up and work out 
the various parts.

Hope the above is of some use though.

If however your problem is complexity in the page causing the users to 
make mistakes when entering the data, then I would strongly suggest 
revising the page.  Perhaps break it up into more parts, or have a hard 
think about the layout and words that you use.  These things may also 
contribute.

Regards,
Langdon

Re: Multi-Page Form and mySQL Updates

[devon]

Hello John

"Why not use the database? " I am using the database, but it creates a
new record each time I submit. Perhaps it's a case of a newbie mySQL
developer in over his head. Your response does seem professorial
though. Am I missing something obvious?

The edit functionality that is part of the crud facility. Updates are a
breeze there, but I am looking for a best practice.

I've seen a few posts re: this type of wizard-like application here and
elswhere , but I've never found any definitive solution in php. Seems
like some sort of session containment object would do it. Thanks for
you reply.

Hi Langdon

If you could point me at the validation scheme you used it would be
great. The issue here is that there is so much data input required for
the students that I don't want the interface getting in the way with
too much validation. I had validation wall to wall, and on the
walkthrough because of the number of answers required there was a lot
of red flying. Lot's of room for error and lost time for them.

Re: Ajax in table not working!

[dani]

Think I might have narrowed it down:

Is it that I can't generate divs dynamically, i.e. using ", when using ajax links???

What's the approach then, when I want multiple "ajax divs" in a foreach
table?

Send the div id:s in a header some way?

Re: Multi-Page Form and mySQL Updates

[Langdon Stevenson]

Hi Devon

I had a similar problem with a recent project.  As a result I developed 
a "wizard" much like yours to do the job.

As the user progresses through the wizard the information that they have 
entered is saved progressively.  In some cases I had to build some 
special validation to allow this to work, but on the whole it wasn't too 
bad.

So if you need to be able to maintain the state of the data across 
multiple sessions, the my solution for you would simply be: each time 
the user submits a page, save the record and use progressive validation 
to avoid errors.

Langdon

Using $reservation['Reservation']['number'];  is correct.  This is
because each retrieved row may have associated models - ie
$reservation['Room'] etc.

Ajax in table not working!

[dani]

The content of my div just reloads when i press my ajax-link:

$tableData =

"" . $html->input("Reserve/...") .
$ajax->link("Reserve", "/reservations/update_reservation/",
array('update' => 'ajax_reserve$i', 'loading' =>
"Element.hide('ajax_reserve$i')", 'complete'=>"new
Effect.Appear('ajax_reserve$i')")) . "";


echo $html->tableCells($tableData);

Is'nt it possible to have ajax content divs within a td?

A static div with the same link code outside the table works alright!

Multi-Page Form and mySQL Updates

[devon]

I have developed a form in Cake which contains several hundred
questions. It will be used for a certification test when complete. The
length of the form has required categories separated into 7 individual
pages.

Cake's database sessions do a good job maintaining state through to the
final submit page, but I need to enable the user to save each individal
page and return later if he/she so requires. The problem is to not
create a new record for each category saved. Basically I need update
capability on top of the normal add functionality in the controller.

The user needs to be able to login later and return to where they left
off and continue to completion.
I've Googled and have not come up with the practical solution I'm
looking for. I've thought of rerouting the edit mode to suit, or
perhaps write a component. What is the best practice?

Thanks.

Leading blank in XML

[Preloader]

Hello bakers,

I tried Cake's webservices routing. I want to generate XML interfaces
for the use in Flash. I'm using the recent version of CakePHP 1.2 and
the great XML helper for building the output.

And here comes my problem: Cake seems to print out a single leading
blank before the XML declaration, which I get from $xml->header(); I
only figured that out because Firefox didn't recognize the file as
valid XML.

Any hints??

Greetings, Christoph :-)

Stick this in your model.

var $belongsTo = array('HomeAddress' =>
array('className'  => 'Address',
  'conditions' => '',
  'order'  => '',
  'foreignKey' => 'home_address'
),
   'OfficeAddress' =>

Here is an example from a project I have that is similar

array('className'=>'Client','foreignKey'=>'client_id'),
'Photographer'  =>  
array('className'=>'Client','foreignKey'=>'photographer_id'),
'Billto'=>

Model Client

var $hasMany = array(
'JobMaterial_Client'=>  
array('className'=>'JobMaterial',

'JobMaterial_Photograper'   =>  
array('className'=>'JobMaterial',
'foreignKey'=>'photographer_id'),
'JobMaterial_Billto'=>  
array('className'=>'JobMaterial',

);

see if that gives you a hint

Simplify foreach() - unpleasant array

[dani]

Controller:
$this->set('reservations',$this->Reservation->findAll());

View:
foreach($reservations as $reservation) {
echo $reservation['Reservation']['number'];
}

Can I make this:

echo $reservation['number'] - instead?

I've tried foreach($reservations['Reservation']) but it seems to me I
have to have foreach($reservations[i]['Reservation'])!?

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Reservation] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[created] => 2007-01-08
)

)

thanks!

I have some problems to understand the association.
For example, I have a model 'User' and model 'Address'.

User:
 - id
 - bla bla bla
 - office_address : int -> address.id
 - home_address : int -> address.id

How can I define association between this 2 models?

How to use the new Cake PHP i18N and l10N

[Sebastian Macias]

Can anybody post a short example of this new feature usage?

I found this in the bakery:

"Its mostly automagic, just use the __() method to wrap your static
text. Then put some po in the locale and get jiggy with it. You can see
it in action now[5], the site should display in the language your
browser sends through HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE if we have the translation.
You can see the current languages we have[6]. If you would like to
translate to a language we do not currently have you can use the
default file[7]"

But I haven't really been able to figure out what I need to do to get
it working.

Thanks,

I don't know if this is your problem, but it looks like you should be
using 'belongsTo' instead of 'hasOne'. If a review has one user, then
the user should have a field 'review_id'. What you want to say is that
the review belongs to a user (ie. review has a 'user_id') field.

To remember this, think in terms of 'hasMany' -- if a review has many
users, then the review would need many 'user_id' fields -- which
doesn't work, therefore the field has to be in User (review_id).
'hasOne' is just a special case of 'hasMany'.

Hope this makes sense,
Anselm

limit() function for mssql

[DJ Spark]

 Does somebody knows how to use that limit() function to MSSQL , or if it
should already work in cake1.1.12 ?
 Any findAll() with  Limit is not executed, because it includes the string
LIMIT , not the TOP statement. I checked the adodb code, and it seems to be
implemented (with that goofyLimit = true).
 Ideas ?

 My DB config is like this:

var $default = array('driver' => 'adodb',
'connect' => 'mssql',
'host' => 'HAL\SQLEXPRESS',
'login' => 'sistema',
'password' => 'xxx',
'database' => 'SiteTac',
'prefix' => '');


 Also, the manual lacks examples of using other DBs , as shown here in the
old wiki page:

This list, I would say, is pretty much a dev list if the above is what
you want to discuss. Would love to hear your opinions.

Do I hear a nay!

Re: Performing controller operations in a view

You can call controllers using requestAction (see
http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/controllers ) from wherever you are.
However, people will generally discourage this practice since views are
about how your data is displayed to the user (see the MVC pattern here
http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/basic_concepts ) and shouldn't need
to know how your application works.

As such people generally try to minize the logic in their views. Of
course some things are done in the views - converting the format of a
date, for instance. In CakePHP this is typically done using helpers
(see http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/helpers ).

I do not know what you are trying to achieve -- though if you need to
call another controller, I assume this operation is outside of the
scope of a view, and I suggest you pre-process your array in the
controller before sending it to the view. If you think your operation
is within the scope of the view, then create a helper to factor the
operation away, and use 'requestAction' to call your other controller.

Why build the car before you can put a key in it to drive?
Cake is like car you would order, you just have to choose if you want the
options!

Re: More Cake Magic in the future?

[Veloz]

That sounds good to me too

I've had the unusual luxury, due to a lull in office work, to compare
several php frameworks, side by side and pretty in-depth. Ultimately it
came down to Zend and to Cake.

Honestly our group would have chosen Zend over Cake if Zend had been a
little further along in its development. Cake is a wonderfully crafted
tool, but all of us are seasoned developers who could be categorized as
"once bitten, twice shy" when it comes to software solutions that try
too hard to "help you" :-)  or that appear to be headed that way in the
future..

We were drawn to Zend's transparency -  you have to write more code (at
least for the bootstrap) than you do in Cake, but what you see is
pretty much what you get - there's very little that happens in the
framework that you don't specifically ask for in your code.  This is
not to say that it's not powerful, it's to say that  the "car won't
move unless you turn the key and put it into gear" lol.

Anyway, I would love to share with a dev discussion list what I think
are the strengths of both products for the purpose of possibly
improving Cake.

Re: More Cake Magic in the future?

[Veloz]

That's a good point, Nate, thanks for reminding me of that.

And once the assumptions/auto-magic of methods like "create()" and
"input()" are documented we will all probably feel a little better
about using them.

I am still new to Cake and when I see snippets of Cake code where the
framework is checking for things like fields named "id", and creating
hidden fields on your behalf (something to do with primary keys I
guess) my reaction is "what the heck?"  This reluctance would probably
decrease if I had something closer to a bigger picture of all the magic
that is possible/normal/conventional in Cake..

Re: UTF8, MySQL, and JSON?

[bernardo]

You may need to add the parameters to the constructor like

function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) {
$this->execute("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);

Also note that enconding support is already there in 1.2, so you can
just go ahead and modify the core and add  the line $this->execute("SET
NAMES 'utf8'") in dbo_mysql.php. Then when you upgrade to 1.2 you will
just need to add the encoding to the database configuration.

Re: Admin Controller

[Tijs Teulings]

I think there is no magic to auto identify all the available admin actions.
What you are talking about would be kind of neat though...

Re: Rock the vote!

[Felix Geisendörfer]

Am I the only one how thinks the Symfony framework 
 is not spelled "Sympony"? Maybe the 
framework is not as popular as CakePHP (according to this vote), but I 
think they are well known enough so that polls should at least spell 
their name properly ...

Re: More Cake Magic in the future?

[teemow]

people choose cake cause they feel comfy with the conventions and the
framework does a lot of good work for lazy developers. But maybe it
would be nice to have a dev discussion list to have a larger base of
developers talking about future magic and/or more convinient solutions
for the whole 'user' base. this doesn't mean i don't feel comfy with
1.2... i just think there are some people who would like to share their
knowledge with cake's core team.

i personally read this list only as a digest, but i would like to have
a dev discussion list with less but more advanced topics about cake
development.

Admin Controller

[PaulV]

Hi,

Having added CAKE_ADMIN functions to several controllers, I would like
to add an action somewhere so that I can go to the URL /admin/ and get
an interface screen containing all the various admin actions I can
call.

Is there a prefered place to put this admin action (do I have to create
an admin controller and add a new route)?

i.e.. $Route->connect('/admin', array('controller' => 'administrators',
'action' => 'index'))

 class AdministratorsController extends AppController {

 var $name = 'Administrators';
 function index()
 }
}

Is there a way of automatically finding all the available admin actions
and their respective controllers short of reading all the php files in
and searching for the CAKE_ADMIN string in function definitions or do I
have to manually pick out the available methods and define the action
effectively statically?

   Paul

Re: Container for models,controllers,... -> "extensions"

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

okay after giving it some rest and thinking about it some more, i think
i've come up with a solution that adds *no overhead at all*

The principle is this: in app/config/core.php or in bootstrap.php the
user could put something like this:
$extensions = array('DAuth','CoolCake'));

This means cake knows there will/should exist app/extensions/d_auth and
app/extensions/cool_cake directories.

If this variable is empty, an empty array or non existing then cake
knows there are no extensions.

Now we create the convention that every class inside an extension has
to be named like this:
Controller.
For example CoolCakeUsersController extends AppController if your
extension is called CoolCake.
there is offcourse the risk that the user might have a
CoolCakeUsersController in hir normal app, but i consider it the
responsability of the programmer of the app and of the extensions to
choose decent names for their classes.

So with a little php code cake can check whether the requested class
starts
with the name of an extension, *and* has a name after that, so it can
be sure about the directory in which, and the file that it has to open.
It doesn't have to *search* in directories.  So actually this is even
more performant than specifying additional directories with
$controllerPaths and the likes.

The only potential problem is having twice the same name for a class,
but that problem would be the same when you just "merge in" code into
your app.  It's the responsability of the 3rd party distributor to
choose pretty unique names.  (and extensions will usually have a pretty
unique name anyway, since they are in fact some library that is able to
perform a special function -> a good name can be choosen)

the mechanism i explained would ofcourse also i apply to
models,components,helpers,...
