ACL page restriction
I want to use ACL such that the actions of a controller are limited to some users. I have 3 AROs group Administrator Addonly Readonly I want to create ACO so that Readonly users can visit only /index page of any controller, Addonly users cannot visit /edit and /delete, and Administrator can visit all of them That is Administrator - can access all pages Addonly - can access only /*/add and /*/index but not /*/edit/ * and /*/delete/* Readonly - can access only /*/index I have seen the cake's manual but it doesn't give the real example. So, please send me the sample code how I can do it... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Need some help with pagination in 1.2
Hi all,
I need some help and advice with implementing pagination in 1.2 .
I got the basic functionality working which means I have paginate()
return the correct count of items of the first page and if change the
URL to pass different page # and limit #, the page behaves as
expected.
What I am not sure about is how to get more control over the
pagination behavior and make it do exactly what I want. Looking at the
source code it seems like paginate() is taking its parameters from the
URL in is various forms (params, URL and passedArgs) and it overrides
anything else I can set (well, there is whitelist but I am not sure
how to use it exactly and couldn't make it to work).
I am looking for the proper way to do the following:
1. Validate the parameters passed to paginate(). For example having a
max and min values that the limit parameter can have (to prevent
just calling my page with huge limit numbers) or to prevent some field
names as entries for being sorted by (currently, everything passed in
the URL goes).
2. Gracefully ignore any fields that are passed as sort parameter and
don't actually exists. So if a user enters some non existing field
name in the URL, the page just ignores it and sorts the data by the
default field instead of displaying an ugly error.
3. Have aliases for some fields to be used with the sort parameters.
So if I need to sort by a field that is nested a level or two deep
inside the model, I can just use something like sort:alias_name
instead of writing the entire hierarchy for the required field.
Where is the proper place to hook the above? What is the best way to
achieve it and keep everything clean?
On a related note, what could be the reason for $paginator-next('',
null, null, null) not returning the correct URL for the next page? It
just returns the same URL the page is on, without any parameters. Do I
need to pass anything special to it?
Thanks in advance.

Newbie to Cake - IIS5 problem
I seen loads of posts about the problems with IIS, but I didn't spot
anything that relates exactly to my problem (so maybe it's not a cake
problem - but IIS) - maybe there is an existing post - and I just
don't know what to search for! (in which case I do apologise in
advance)
Basically, I can't run any rewrite dll's, so wanted to try the options
without it
I'm using php as ISAPI
The only php settings I've changed are the extensionpath, and
uncommented the extensions for mysql
I've gone through the basic tutorial
I'm using PHP 5
Cake 1.1.13.4450
So, to the problem
By adding
define ('SERVER_IIS', true);
and
define ('BASE_URL', env('SCRIPT_NAME').'?');
I can get
http://localhost/cake/app/index.php?/posts/index
working (and links from that page work also)
but if i omit the '?', I just get page cannot be found
I did try
define ('BASE_URL', env('SCRIPT_NAME'));
But if i omit the '?' in the url, I still get page cannot be found -
it still shows the initial page if I put the '?' back in the url as
before, but now links from that page don't work (the links miss the
'?' out)
Have I missed a setting from IIS or PHP that cake needs?
Also, why do I have to put the 'app' part in also? - if I just use
http://localhost/cake/index.php?/posts/index
It stays on the home page

Re: R: Format ID field throughout
Thanks for the tip, I have tried that and it worked. However I have
now run into a new problem which is that the code now breaks the
links.
For example:
The URL to edit a project is now: /projects/edit/FWL0001 which
doesn''t work.
I guess I need to reverse the transformation on any database queries,
the logical place for this seems to be in beforeFind, but I can't seem
to work out how to change the ID field back tot it's original number.
Anyone got any ideas, or should I just give up on this method?
Cheers

Re: cakephp and developer rates
I have always looked at it like this: You will pay more per hour for a good programmer (no matter the tools they are using). You will end up paying the same amount for a not-so-good programmer because they will take much longer to produce the same thing that the expensive (and hopefully, good) programmer just made.

Re: cakephp and developer rates
Walker's analysis makes sense. In economic terms: If by using a framework you are able to produce the same simple web app in less time, you may say that you have increased your productivity and as a consequence you are able to reduce your costs and increase your profit. It has nothing to do with the final price of the product you are selling.

Re: R: Format ID field throughout
you could have the after find create a format_id field on the fly and
then you would still have the id field for linking and other work.
Then you can use the format_id for display and the id for the 'work'

RE: saving sensitive data with md5
Sure, use the beforeSave and beforeFind on the model side.
class User extends AppModel {
// ...
function beforeSave() {
if (isset($this-data[$this-name]['password'])) {
$this-data[$this-name]['password'] =
md5($this-data[$this-name]['password']);
}
return parent::beforeSave();
}
function beforeFind($queryData) {
if (isset($queryData[$this-name]['password'])) {
$queryData[$this-name]['password'] =
md5($this-data[$this-name]['password']);
}
return $queryData;
}
}
This way when from your controller you are saving the model having the
password field set, it will automatically hash it:
$data = array(
'User' = array('user' = 'mariano', 'password' = 'password')
);
$this-User-save($data);
The same way when you are looking for a record if you set the password field
as part of the data to be searched for, it will hash it:
$conditions = array(
'User' = array('user' = 'mariano', 'password' = 'password')
);
$result = $this-User-find($conditions);
-MI

Remember, smart coders answer ten questions for every question they ask.
So be smart, be cool, and share your knowledge.
BAKE ON!

RE: Unit Testing in 1.2
1. Unzip simpletest at cake/vendors/simpletest (inside after installing you
should see simple test files like unit_tester.php)
2. Set up your tests on app/tests inside the appropriate directory. As a
guidance, you can set up your controller tests under
app/tests/cases/controllers/. For example, let's assume you have a
controller called Users like so:
class UsersController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Users';
var $uses = null;
function index() {
$this-set('title', $this-_getTitle());
}
function _getTitle() {
return 'Page Title';
}
}
And you want to test the method _getTitle() (I know, how lame is that) then
set up a users_controller.test.php on app/tests/cases/controllers/ with the
following:
uses('controller' . DS . 'controller');
if (file_exists(APP . 'app_controller.php')) {
require_once (APP . 'app_controller.php');
} else {
class AppController extends Controller {
}
}
require_once(APP . 'controllers' . DS . 'users_controller.php');
class UsersControllerTest extends UnitTestCase {
function testGetTitle() {
$controller = new UsersController();
$result = $controller-_getTitle();
$expected = 'Page Title';
$this-assertEqual($result, $expected);
}
}
3. Assuming your Cake application is hosted at http://localhost/cake, go to:
http://localhost/cake/test.php
And click on App Test Cases. You'll see a test listed there called
controllers/users_controller.test.php.
Click on it and you'll see your test succeed :)
That's it in a nutshell, basically. If you checkout Cake 1.2 SVN you can see
we've started building some tests in Cake's core and you can certainly learn
from them.

Asunto: Unit Testing in 1.2
Does anyone know how to go about running a unit test case / suite in
1.2 . I can't seem to find the documentation anywhere about this.
I have version 1.2 of cake now and have put some test code under /app/
tests/cases/controllers/my_controller.test.php

sorry for this very newbie questions, but between bakery, here and google, still I haven't got an answer. let's take the blog tutorial in cakephp manual as example... when I look at one of the post, how can I add a field for adding comments, and how to display existing comments?

RE: Unit Testing in 1.2
You can simplify the test a lot, just put it like (see the use of
loadController() instead of all the junk I've just given you):
uses('controller' . DS . 'controller');
loadController('Users');
class UsersControllerTest extends UnitTestCase {
function testGetTitle() {
$controller = new UsersController();
$result = $controller-_getTitle();
$expected = 'Page Title';
$this-assertEqual($result, $expected);
}
}

Re: Menu from database
I'm really sorry that it seems I think CakePHP is wrong. I know that
it is probably my fault that I can't use it the right way. As I have
written in my first post - It's a great piece of SW.
Now I'm a bit closer to the problem. It seems that the error is
present only when I use controller without model ($uses=array() or
$uses=null). Other controllers seems OK and rendering my menus the
right way.
I have written miniapp to demonstrate that:
config/routes.php:
...
$Route-connect('/', array('controller' = 'index', 'action'
= 'index'));
...
controllers/index_controller.php
class IndexController extends AppController {
var $name='Index';
var $uses=null;
function index() {
}
}
controllers/menu_items_controller.php:
class MenuItemsController extends AppController {
var $scaffold;
}
models/menu_item.php:
class MenuItem extends AppModel {
var $name='MenuItem';
}
views/elements/menu.thtml:
preMenu element: ?php print_r($menuElement);?/pre
views/layouts/default.thtml:
html
body
p?=$this-renderElement('menu')?/p
?=$content_for_layout?
/body
/html
app_controller.php:
class AppController extends Controller {
var $uses=array('MenuItem');
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this-set('menuElement', $this-MenuItem-findAll());
}
}
I don't know how to deal with this. Is CakPHP misused or is it some
error?
Thanks (and once again sorry).

Conditional Ajax div update?
Hello, i'm trying to implement a login system using ajax, but i've come across a problem. I want to do it so that when a login is incorrect, then only a small div below the form is shown with invalid login but when the login is correct i want to update a different div with the user's account options. Any ideas or examples on how can i do this? I'm kind of new to ajax but looked for examples and it seems all just update one or multiple divs simultaneously.

Re: ODBC support
I succeeded connecting cakephp with adodb:
?php
class DATABASE_CONFIG
{
var $default = array('driver' = 'adodb', //use adodb
'connect' =
'odbc', //adodb support not only odbc, but also
mysql, ldap, etc)
'host' =
'mysql', //mysql is my dns name that i defined in
ODBC Control Panel
'login' =
'root',
'password' =
'',
'database' =
'cool', // you don't need this, because if you
define dns in ODBC Control Panel you define also the database name
'prefix' = '');
}
?
Ok, odbc connection is defined. CakePHP is connected to ODBC. But now
I get the error
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in E:\xampp\htdocs
\cake\cake\libs\model\dbo\dbo_adodb.php on line 222
This line should actually return the column name.
I'm looking now into the code of ADODB. If it takes too long, to get
ODBC works on CakePHP, I'm thinking to use another Framework, or may
be Rails or Java.
Can somebody help me NOT MOVING to another language or framework?

Re: saving sensitive data with md5
Will that re-hash the MD5'ed password field when editing and then
saving again?
I do this at the moment:
In model:
function beforeSave() {
$password = isset($this-data['User']['password'])?$this-data['User']
['password']:;
if (!preg_match(VALID_MD5,$password) {
$this-data['User']['password'] = md5($this-data['User']
['password']);
}
return true;
}
In bootstrap:
define('VALID_MD5','/^[a-fA-F0-9]{32}$/i');
On Mar 19, 6:40 am, Mariano Iglesias [EMAIL PROTECTED]
wrote:
Sure, use the beforeSave and beforeFind on the model side.
class User extends AppModel {
// ...
function beforeSave() {
if (isset($this-data[$this-name]['password'])) {
$this-data[$this-name]['password'] =
md5($this-data[$this-name]['password']);
}
return parent::beforeSave();
}
function beforeFind($queryData) {
if (isset($queryData[$this-name]['password'])) {
$queryData[$this-name]['password'] =
md5($this-data[$this-name]['password']);
}
return $queryData;
}
}
This way when from your controller you are saving the model having the
password field set, it will automatically hash it:
$data = array(
'User' = array('user' = 'mariano', 'password' = 'password')
);
$this-User-save($data);
The same way when you are looking for a record if you set the password field
as part of the data to be searched for, it will hash it:
$conditions = array(
'User' = array('user' = 'mariano', 'password' = 'password')
);
$result = $this-User-find($conditions);

Asunto: saving sensitive data with md5
I'm using cake's MVC approach which works really great. I like the
ability to use the MVC and save from the controller; it makes things
nice and is very easy. I did run into a problem which I can't figure
out, however. Let's say I want to save sensitive information like a
password in the database. Currently, it appears cake will only let
you save in clear text (won't let you hash) in the default MVC
approach.
