This:

EQUALS :

Which then makes my links look like this

how can I define $base without the /PlaceOnServer/ in the path is my

Re: Performing controller operations in a view
Hi Kez, You say: "I need to perform a fairly complex operation on one column for each row... " If these complex operations are primarily about how to present the data, then a Helper is most appropriate. If you would consider them to be more business logic than presentation logic, then you have other options. "...which involves data from another controller." Is the data truly from another controller, or is it mainly from that controller's model? If the controller, then you could call requestAction() of the other controller from your current one, and pass the result on to the view. If this data is really model based, consider putting it straight into your model- that way it's available directly. If both these controllers' models are related, you can access an associated model with someting like $this->CurrentModel->AssociatedModel->getData() Hope that's helpful... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Order by associated model - need help.
I'm looking for a solution to this same problem. My setup is something like this: Job belongsto User User belongsTo Address I want to do a find all on Job and order by a field in Address. Would love to hear from someone on how to handle this scenario. Thanks, Nick Hi Group! I'm about to go crazy on this one: A rough sketch of my models, I have Sale belongsTo Emission which in turn belongsTo EmissionType Doing Sale->findAll(null, null, 'EmissionType.name ASC', null, null, 3) wont work...: Unknown table 'EmissionType' in order clause The recursion works fine, findAll returns all levels, I can access them in my view with $data['Emission']['EmissionType']['name']. The associated levels are added in subsequent queries, as debug shows, but in my initial query, the table is not available. My Sale model has the following fields: id, emission_id, bank_id, date, volume. What I am trying to achieve is sorting of the results table by clicking on the header (a quite common task...) This works fine as long as the field is in the table Sales (e.g. date or volume) but not on assiciated field... I tried bindModel to bind Sales directly to EmissionTypes but the resulting query got even worse...;( Anyone encountered such difficulties? Searching the group didn't throw any matches...

findCount and associations
I have a question about findCount. Let's say I have a list of Users and each User hasMany Posts What I want to be able to do is show a list of Users and a count of how many "expired" and "live" posts they have like this Bob | 2 Live Posts | 3 Expired Posts Jane | 0 Live Posts | 4 Expired Posts Trent | 12 Live Posts | 1 Expired Posts I have this in my model $hasMany = array( 'LivePosts' => array( 'className' => 'Posts', 'conditions' => 'live = 1' ), 'ExpiredPosts' => array( 'className'=>'Posts', 'conditions'=>'live = 0' ) ); In my Users controller I do a findAll with recursive of 1 Then in my view I count up all the 'LivePosts' and 'ExpiredPosts' items. This seems horribly inefficient to do since all I'm looking for is a count of these items and not the items themselves. Is there a way for findCount to say just count all my LivePosts and ExpiredPosts and store it as another variable in the controller data array? Has anyone done anything like this?

Dealing with 'Order By' with 'View' in MySQL5
I am using cakePHP 1.1.12.4205 now. It works with View in MySQL5. But when I add 'Order By', either in the mysql 'View' definition or in the findAll( null, null, $order), error jumps out. I have checked the SQL statement generated by cakePHP and it looks fine. I copied the SQL statement generated by cakePHP, run it manually in mysql and proved it to be 100% correct. My 'View' looks like this: create view article_headers as select postings.id as id, group_id, summary, article_type_id from postings, articles where postings.id=articles.posting_id and posting_state_id=1 order by postings.created DESC; The error shows something wrong with 'data' object in DboSource.php. After spending a night on this issue, I found out a method to circunvent this problem. That is sorting the data in another view and create the target view based on that sorted view. like this: create view ordered_postings as select * from postings order by created desc; create view article_headers as select ordered_postings.id as id, group_id, summary, article_type_id from ordered_postings, articles where ordered_postings.id=articles.posting_id and posting_state_id=1; And now it works. I think the problem might be somewhere in the mySQL driver instead of cakePHP itself. Maybe MySQL 5 is too new. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: IIS Revisited
Excuse the bump.
I have the cake install in a subdirectory of a site. e.g.
mysite.com/subdir
/app
/cake
/vendors
In my IIS cake install I am not using ISIAPI_REWRITE and have defined
IIS and unremed the script_name line in the core.php.
My question is this; what do I need to edit in order to have my links
correct?
currenly they look like this
www.mysite.com/FileDirectoryonServer/cake/index.php?/users/
I need them to be:
www.mysite.com/cake/index.php?/users/
I believe the issue is on this line of index.php:
define('ROOT', dirname(__FILE__));
If the cake install was in the root (actual root) of site it would be
no worries but since I have in a subdirectory it is needing to use the
FileDirectoryonServer to locate the needed includes.
I have tried chaging the define directive to be:
define('ROOT', 'cake');
define('ROOT', '/cake/');
define('ROOT', 'http://www.mysite.com/cake/');
This is the last hurdle before 100% workability of the cake app.
Thank you for any help/suggestions

I understand the resistance to placing application logic in more than once place but in situations where two or three or more applications are accessing the same database it makes much more sense to enforce all of this in ONE place (i.e., the database) then to try and duplicate the same logic correctly through several different applications. Do you really want to trust the developers from several different teams to all interpret the schema correctly and enforce the correct data integrity rules for a shared database? Of course not, people make mistakes. That's why you have your DBA nail down how the relationships are going to be set up & used and enforce it in once place. That way the bug that some well-meaning developer in customer applications introduced doesn't mangle the in-house service data (assuming the two are connected in some way). Enforcing data integrity in the database isn't about application logic, per se although the two domains may have some degree of overlap - it's about making sure that two different applications with separate uses of the same data don't muck things up badly for the other team. > Just be sure your app knows how to deal with integrity failures.

can't generate ajax links in an ajax view
Hello Everyone, I have a view that uses $ajax->link() to update a div within my layout. This works fine. However, the ajax layout that I return from the server also contains $ajax->link's which are not working. I think I traced this to the Prototype library's update function's following line... $(element).innerHTML = html.stripScripts(); The links are returned with the html between the tags but the following javascript event is stripped by Prototype. So, I end up with a link that has 'return false;' and no accompanying Observer. Does anyone know how to get around this? Am I missing an option or something?

Re: Simplify foreach() - unpleasant array
I created an iterator for this. You'll need php5.
You can use it like this:
$resiter = new modelIterator("Reservation",$reservations);
foreach($resiter as $reservation) {
echo $reservation['id'];
echo $reservation['created'];
}
The class is very simple:
class modelIterator implements Iterator{
private $model;
private $array;
function __construct($model,$array) {
$this->model = $model;
$this->array = $array;
}
function current() {
$a = current($this->array);
return $a[$this->model];
}
function key() {
return key($this->array);
}
function next() {
next($this->array);
}
function rewind() {
reset($this->array);
}
public function valid() {
return (current($this->array) !== false);
}
}

either shows a bool TRUE if i set it up, or a null if i don't set it

if it's not defined at all at the start, i get an error too.

Re: OT - Q for PHPNut on DBDesigner 4 - Was: ER Tools
keymaster, I think that your problems may be related to how you have it
configured. I had the same problem with my primary key ("id" field)
getting deleted when I realized that I picked my tables in the wrong
order when setting up the relationship. Now that I got everything
working correctly, it's working out great for me.
Here are a few things to check:
1. Under Options-->Model Options-->Editing Options, make sure that "Add
Source Table Name to Foreign Key Column's Names" option is checked. (I
also have my Default Table Type set to "InnoDB", which enables me to
also check the "Automatically create Index on FK Fields in Destination
Table if ..." option).
2. From the toolbox, only use the "New 1:n Non-Identifying Relation"
and the "New 1:1 Non-Identifying Relation" buttons (the icons that show
a dotted line for the relations connection on the toolbar button).
3. The order you select the tables when defining the relations matters.
CakePHP has 4 relation types: hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo and
hasAndBelongsToMany. Only one of the four works counter-intuitively in
DBDesigner4, and that's when defining the "hasOne" relations.
Typically, you follow the order in how it reads: "ModelOne hasMany
ModelTwo" -- first click table "model_ones", then "model_twos". But for
"hasOne", it's backwards: "ModelOne hasOne ModelTwo" -- first click
table "model_twos", then table "model_ones".
4. After defining a relation, immediately edit it (double click on it)
and rename it to read the CakePHP way ("ModelOne hasMany ModelTwo",
note: you're using the model name convention, NOT the table name
convention here..."model_ones hasMany model_twos" would be wrong).
Then, (this is the only pain), you have to rename the Dest. Name
Foreign Key to follow the CakePHP convention of tablename-singular
(DBDesigner creates it as "model_twos_id", you want it to be
"model_two_id").
If you follow this configuration and conventions (thanks, Larry, for
showing us the way! study his model diagrams closely if you haven't
already), it should work out great for you. You'll see that it's a
breeze because DBDesigner will manage your foreign keys for you (you
just have to correct the naming of them to be singular). Thus, deleting
a relation will do the right thing and remove the correct FK, and not
the needed "id" field.
Good luck!

It depends on what you're doing. They are extremely important if your database offers read-write access to more than one application from the same set of tables. A large majority of those who have swallowed the Rails-like pill have never worked with large-scale databases and do not understand the necessity of enforcing integrity with foreign keys, triggers and stored procedures. On the other hand, if your database isn't mission critical or if you only have one application accessing your core tables then you can do away with these sorts of things BUT you need to be certain that your application is enforcing any rules as need be. A proper database will usually do these things much better than you will and I would hazard a guess that they contain fewer bugs then your application logic (or rather, that their bugs are better documented). Some systems (as in Siebel and friends) do not use foreign keys but provide a set of integration tables that are used by external systems to populate and manipulate the data in the core set of tables; these tables are often handled by batch processes of some kind. I don't believe that Cake reads and understands foreign keys at this time... I would hope that this would be the case at some point but it may not happen for a while (or ever, depending on how the Cake developers feel about this).

Re: accessing a controller from a component.
what you do works on php5, not php4
to make it work on both, you have to write the assignment like this:
function startup(&$controller)
{
$this->controller = &$controller;

Content in the Bakery is also tagged by version. It's actually meant to get old gracefully. You know its old, because you see that its labeled 0.9x or 1.1x, etc. The wiki was a festering pit of misinformation. I cannot say that enough. Sure, there were a few articles that were good, but on the whole, it was a horrible source of problems. As the documentation lead, and someone that takes on support in the IRC channel most of the day, I can say–without doubt–the axing of the wiki is a most wonderful thing. > From a new user starting up cake POV, if you see the wiki and the > main site, it seems less integrated and has the impression of an > incomplete framework.

Well said otherwise, though. :) The Bakery is most definitely the vision for the future. It allows the community to contribute (like the wiki did) but it allows us to verify the quality of the content, and store it in a way that will get old gracefully. The only drawback with the Bakery is the lull in content. The wiki had some good stuff (somewhere, I suppose), and there will be some growing pains that result from not having it around. But, it is community contributed, and we still have the ghost of the wiki in Google cache for a while. Jump in and move things you think are cake- worthy. The Bakery will only get better (while the wiki would have only gotten worse). -- John --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: OT - Q for PHPNut on DBDesigner 4 - Was: ER Tools
Another (minor) problem with the otherwise excellent DBDesigner is that
it uses MySQL old passwords. This means that once you create your MySQL
User, you then need to run the following sql before you can connect
with DBDesigner:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
Also worth noting: DBDesigner is no longer actively developed. It's
functionality is being incorporated into the MySQL GUI tools. Check out
the MySQL Workbench tool (
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html )

accessing a controller from a component.
i think i'm missing something in my component, .. i can't seem to
access the controller from the component.
here's the component's code:
class PlacesComponent extends Object {
var $controller = true;
function startup(&$controller) {
$this->controller = $controller;
}
function Do() {
$this->controller->redirect('/admin/center/');
}
}
in the controller I use the following code:
loadComponent('Places');
the error I'm getting in the browser:
Fatal error: Call to a member function redirect() on a non-object in
{filename}
it seems as if it giveme access to $this->controller from the startup
function. I tried it without the startup function, and couldn't find
anything about it in the API.
i'd be happy to know how come it doesn't work, and where i could find
it in the API itself.. ..
I use cake 1.12.

Re: OT - Q for PHPNut on DBDesigner 4 - Was: ER Tools
DBDesigner is great in some ways, but a real pain in others. For example, if you create a A hasMany B relationship, it creates a foreign key for you in B. That's fine. But it makes that foreign key part of a composite primary key for table B. Don't understand the reason for that. The problem is if you have a B hasMany C relationship, it creates two foreign keys in table C, one for each part of the composite key in B. Another issue, if you ever have to delete a relationship because you accidentally input it in reverse and want to change it's direction, you could end up deleting the primary key in one of the tables. And the effect ripples to all other tables which may have foreign keys to that table. So, one small mistake can cause you lots of cleanup work. I wasn't happy about that aspect. It's enough to prevent me from using it with cake. A final question: how important are REAL foreign keys in the database, if you are using cake associations. Are they superfluous? Are they still needed? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Ajax in IE, not calling subsequent actions
I have a AJAX call in my view. It is a observer, and where it is
onLoaded, it call another two Ajax.Updater-s to update some divs.
This is working in Firefox, but in IE6 it is not calling these two
Ajax.Updater-s but the obeserver itself is doing a job (DB got
changed).
In controller I use RequestHandler->setAjax($this) so the respond got
back with UTF-8 header... (I see other ppl point that out, but it's not
that, AFAIK)
Please see the code below.
Filter:
Event.observe("update_button", 'click', function(event){
new Ajax.Updater('update_topics','/insert_panel/editors/update_topics',
{
onLoading:function(request){$('update_topics').innerHTML = '
updating...'; new
Effect.Appear($('update_topics'));},
onLoaded:function(request){$('update_topics').innerHTML =
'updated'; new Effect.Fade($('update_topics'),20);
new Ajax.Updater({success:'available_topics'},
'/insert_panel/editors/available_topics', {asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(Event.element(event).form),
requestHeaders:['X-Update', 'available_topics']});
new Ajax.Updater({success:'assigned_topics'},
'/insert_panel/editors/assigned_topics', {asynchronous:true,
evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(Event.element(event).form),
requestHeaders:['X-Update', 'assigned_topics']});},
asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,

Advises before being in production
Hi All, I have written a B2B application that should go live in 3 weeks. So I was wondering what advises, what to check before this important step. Some details : - each user needs authentication (not using ACL built in) - every request is checked against the user authentified (except signing in of course) - I use lot of Ajax and I accept only POST (few exceptions) - I have tuned quite a lot for performances (mainly on DB, suing a lot of bindModel / unbindModel and the excellent useModel (found on RossSoft) ) - I will turn the debug mode to 0 - this is not a "public" application, but security is important .. so what else to consider ? - the application is multi langage (2), and I had to tweak the ajax helper because UFT8 in ajax answer did not appear correct, not a problem now.. My biggest concern is concerning encryption, Indeed this application will be hosted in a Balkan country where the hosting company or their employee tend to "sell" data by their own. So I was considering encryption, I can do this but if the key is into the application ..well ..too easy to crack. Maybe writing a php extension, but I have no time for this now .. So thanks to everyone, thanks to CakePhp .. I promise a donation as soon as it's live for few days !!! Any comments, advises, ideas are welcome .. Thanks again --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Simplify foreach() - unpleasant array
Except that in this case the array is $reservations[ {n}
]['Reservation'] . You should only have ['Reservation'][ {n} ] when
that Reservation model is loaded indirectly through an associated
hasMany - ie where Person hasMany Reservation (recursive 1)
$people = Person->findAll() gives:
$people[ {n} ]['Reservation][ {n} ]

Re: More than one DB per application
The app/config/database.php can define any number of database
connections - the $test connection is just there as an example. So,
define whatever other ones you want (with any variable name), then use
that variable name in your model, with var $useDbConfig.
app/config/database.php
var $emails = array('driver' => 'mysql','connect' =>
'mysql_connect','host' => 'localhost','login' => '','password' =>

Re: Beginners Only Tutorial that was on the WIKI
Maintenance of code in the bakery will suffer the same problems of depreciation, but easily controlled through an admin panel addition "unpublish reason depreciated" which can contact the author, place a notice, or be dugg down by viewers for admin attention. From a new user starting up cake POV, if you see the wiki and the main site, it seems less integrated and has the impression of an incomplete framework. I know when I was hunting, it somewhat deterred me, compared to the fruity pages of ROR (without a manual). Now it's here, and here to stay, so perhaps the addition of those most needed tutorials that seem to be popping up can be added with an updated revision.

To me it is about having (reusable) sources available in a flexible way (like "libraries" in most languages, except that in this case cake core doesn't have to search through the "libraries", it can immediately find what it needs if we implement a few conventions ) one of the side-effects of extensions would be that more specific featuresets end up in specific extensions (if you want that, if you don't that's fine too ofcourse ) So if that's your only goal, you could use it just fine for that too ;-) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Ah, another chink of sunlight just broke through the clouds :-)
I was going to ask this same question myself. My workaround (for models

$tmp=$reservations['Reservation'];

More than one DB per application
Hello everybody, how can I use more DBs per application? Configuring Cake I created a database.php (in app/config), but here there's the possibility to place one production and one test DB. but my project needs to have more than on DB (one for users, one for tickets, one for forum and so on; every db should be a controller, but all starting from a main index action [home page of the site]). So here I configure all this? Thanks!!! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Container for models,controllers,... -> "extensions"
Some additions to the above
with this method you could use *all* classes in an extension to
inherit from in your app. (as long as they obey the conventions)
Also, you could "directly" integrate components,models,helpers,.. from
an extension like $uses=('CoolCakeUser','Post') in your app.
For controllers however we would need to add some functionality to the
cake core, so that it - just like in the way it can "recognize" when it
deals with extensions based on the proper classname and the $extensions
variable - would directly open the controller in the extension
directory, when you call an action like mysite.com/coolcake/users/index
Same goes for views. the cake core like it is now isn't prepared for
views residing in an extension, i would fix this by calling them by
$this->render('coolcake/users/view'); so that it can (again) simply
recognize you're dealing with an extension (based on the fact that you
use more then 2 things between slashes, and the first one happens to be
a string that "happens to be" in your $extensions array ;-) and open
the right file.
In conclusion:
advantages:
1) no performance hit ( i checked how cake core handles
$controllerPaths, working like that needs more filesystem calls then
this method)
2) easily swapping in/out/updating of 3rd party code/library
2 bis) ability to work with svn:externals
3) separation between code that is meant to do a specific thing
3) using 3rd party code like if it was inside your app (use them
directly or inherit from them)
disadvantages:
1) could impose conflicts in naming. But when you download code from a
3rd party and integrate them in your app, you have the same issues. I
proposed a solution for this which means your classnames will become a
little longer, but very recognizable for php code in the cake core.
This also requires a certain "discipline" of the 3rd party author (to
choose a unique name for an extension for example), discipline that is
otherwise a bit more neglected. We now have classes on the bakery
called "mailercontroller" , "protectorcomponent" or "userscontroller".
(i'm guilty of that last one) just to name a few. All classes that are
meant to be put in app directly, which gives a high risk of duplicate
classes . with the proposed conventions i think this would improve a
great deal.
2)fixing bugs that could be at several locations will be harder.
(..but writers of extensions shouln't release buggy code offcourse ;-)
obviously, my opinion is biassed, i really like my own idea. It woud
be great if i could convince cakephp devs to implement this, but if
don't... they probably have their reasons ;-) Although then i would
really like to hear those reasons.
if you guys think this idea is _not_ good, please explain why, i want
to think further about this, propose ideas and discuss.
If there is a solid argument about why this isn't good, i'll shut up
and be very glad i learned something.

Nevermind, I got it working. game.php was actually named games.php... sorry for the noise! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Hi Tony,
Your game model file is present but the class within it is either
misspelt or otherwise not declrared.
HTH,

Please note:
The manual/bakery is a good place to start any quest for info.
The cake search (at the time of writing) erroneously reports less/no
results for the google group.
The wiki may contain incorrect info - read at your own risk (it's
mainly user submitted) :) You may get your answer quicker by asking on
the IRC Channel (you can access it with just a browser
here:http://irc.cakephp.org).
