Re: Building a forum plug-in
I've seen many projects with a lot of talk at the beginning but nothing concrete was done about it. Perhaps the guys who really need should start something first?

For me the logical place to check (and fix) is at build time. If someone doesn't use a build process like Ant, then a script like the build utility could be useful. If you wanted to do it that way, then it would be very simple to construct the appropriate piece of PHP code and trigger it the same way that you do with bake.

Re: HABTM findAll with incorrect data
I figured out the problem. I had another belongsTo hiding in my poker
controller that was adding the extra data. Thanks for your help
again.

I have always wondered why people make such a big issue over extraneous spaces (I always just check for them when I make the models and controllers). However in this case I accidentally introduced the space when I had Eclipse lock up. So now I know why people despise it so ...

You could easily use the "ReplaceRegExp" Ant Task to do exactly what you are suggesting on files in the Controller and Model directories (and any others like config perhaps). I can't tell you the required regular expression off the top of my head, but half an hour and some Googling would sort it. This would give you a fool proof solution to the problem.

othAuth with Cake 1.2.x.x Nightly Build (5938)
For some reason or another, since upgrading to the latest pre-beta 1.2.x.x I have been experiencing issues with the othAuth component. I have also upgraded to the latest nightly build but it has not made any difference. I followed the instructions in http://www.ancientwisdom.cc/news/archives/111 which sorts out the admin routing issues. The problem I am having is that if I login as an administrator and then perform an admin function (like editing an article) it logs me out when I submit the form. All other restricted functions work fine as long as they are not admin functions.

building url from parameter array
hi
I am trying manipulate the url to provide different link options in
the view. Although I can get all the parameters using
Router::parser(Router::url("")), I am not sure how can I pass back the
parameter array and get a valid url. Below is an example of what I am
trying to do
Assume that I have a url controller/action/key1:v1/key2:v2/key3:v3
In the view, I want to build two different urls
First url - controller/action/key1:v1/key3:v3
Second URL - controller/action/key2:v2/key3:v4 (yes, I want to
modify value of key3)
Using Router::parser(Router::url("")), I can an array of all
parameters, controller, and action. But I couldn't find any method
that can take the same kind of array and can give me back a valid url
Any help will be appreciated
Regards,
Ritesh

Re: HABTM findAll with incorrect data
Hi AD7six,
Thank you for the tip on using pr instead of echo. I had a pretty
good idea of what it was doing (I have to deal with a lot of arrays
and hashmaps at work), but I am still not entirely sure of how to fix
it. I changed my tournament function to look like this:
function tournament($id)
{
$this->checkSession();
$this->pageTitle = 'Tournament';
$this->Poker->id = $id;
$this->set('poker',$this->Poker->read());
}
Because I saw it in the blog example but I still received the same
results:
1
Brandon
Skeen
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
password
fallenrayne
2007-10-18
2007-10-18
1
Array ( [id] => 1 [fname] => Brandon [lname] => Skeen [email] =>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [password] => password [username] => fallenrayne
[created] => 2007-10-18 [modified] => 2007-10-18 [type] => 1 )
Array ( [id] => 2 [fname] => Carrie [lname] => Skeen [email] =>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [password] => password [username] => cskeen [created]
=> 2007-10-18 [modified] => 2007-10-18 [type] => 1 )
So the first array is being displayed, one element at a time, and then
it goes on and gets the two sets of data that I am expecting.
BTW, sorry for the long delay on posting. I can't access any of this
stuff while at work so I had to wait to get home and try some of this
out. I really appreciate the help though.

Re: the superclass
I get where we're going, but let's try on a real example. Please have
a look at a type of site i usually work at in average (some are least
complicated but few are many times more complicated): http://mapolitique.be/
ok, the header menu and footer are easy.
the commercials are doable with elements.
but then i have: the big controller on the left-center, the poll,
newsletter, tags, links, list of active members etc. These are totally
different controllers. On this page they're all the same on all pages,
but on other sites the right side will have to include only some of
them + new others. I don't know how to put them together on the same
page without requestAction.
i would have to be mad to write in the main controller the actions for
all of them. think at the redundancy.

OthAuth with Cake 1.2.0.5875 pre-beta problems?
Hi all - has anybody else noticed problems with othAuth breaking down with the latest release of cakephp? With the previous alpha release, things were working hunky dory. When I tried to upgrade to the latest beta version released on the 22nd the system started behaving very funny. Some actions would fail to find a 'User' class. One other behavior that I noticed that when trying to hit the other actions, the page would redirect to different pages and then finally redirect back to the home page. Just wondering Thanks, Rich --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: the superclass
What I would do is use a component only in your main page controller -
the one that draws the other bits together.
As far as the header and footer stuff goes, that would be best done
with Elements.
For example:
/app/controllers/components/logger.php
class LoggerComponent extend Object {
function startUp(&$controller) {
// do my logging etc
$controller->set('headVars',$someStuff_for_header);
}
}
/app/views/elements/header.ctp
blah blah blah blah
/app/views/main/index.ctp
blah... $this->renderElement('header',$headVars);
blah blah blah blah
$this->renderElement('footer',$headVars);
blah
class MainController extends AppController {
var $components = array('Logger');
function index() {
// get a bunch of stuff.
}
}
Of course another way would be to get the unrelated stuff into one
controller (shock horror!). Of course you could use var $use to
include the additional models, which lets you pull together other
content. That's not a great thing for performance, but then there's
always caching.

Re: the superclass
it's true i don't respect the conventions all the time, because in some cases this can bring significant speed gains (necessary on heavily accessed sites). however, if you're kind enough to share, i would like to know 'the cake way' for this: i have to show on one page different kind of information ( totally unrelated ) - so i think i can't use only one controller (or maybe i'm mistaking), and on top of that, i want something that is called only once at the top of the page to perform several actions (log/set variables etc). thanks for your patience, Cristian On Nov 2, 11:56 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sounds like you're not doing it the cake way. > > If you really really want to do that, your best bet is to use > loadModel.

Re: the superclass
Sounds like you're not doing it the cake way. If you really really want to do that, your best bet is to use loadModel. To be honest, what you're doing doesn't really fit the cake, or MVC model particularly well, so if I were you I would look at elements as an alternative to all the requestActions. If you stick to Cake's conventions based approach, your best bet is still to do the work in app_controller, or a component.

Re: the superclass
If I write that in the startup function of the component it will be called for the every controller in a page (which is not good because I use 'requestAction' a lot so startup will be called more than once). What I was actually thinking is to create my own class and call the initialization somewhere in bootstrap, but i don't know how to use a model by itself in a custom class.

New guy needs some help
Where I work, we are testing out CakePHP to replace our existing
codebase.
I have two questions.
1. Do all primary keys for tables have to be 'id'?
2. I have 3 tables, blogs, posts, users.
blogs
id
user_id
title
subtitle
posts
id
blog_id
user_id
added
updated
text
users
id
username
password
I want to be able to call http://www.mydomain.com/blog/view/cthompson
and have it load a list of my posts.
If I used http://www.mydomain.com/blog/view/1 it would automagicly
know that I wanted to find the blog id = 1. The only way I could
figure out to have to load based on username was to put a function in
my app_model.php model file:
function getUserId($username) {
$ret = $this->query('
SELECT
id
FROM
users
WHERE
username = "' . $username . '"');
return $ret[0]['users']['id'];
}
and call it in the blog_controller.php with
$this->set('blog', $this->Blog->find(array('id' => $this->Blog-
>getUserId($username)),null,null,2));
The recursive 2 seems to do nothing. I want it to pull in all the
posts for this blog.
So I tried calling this after it:
$this->set(
'posts',
$this->Posts->findAll(array('id' => $this->viewVars['blog']
['Blog']['id'])),
'created DESC',
null,
null,
null
);
But when I do a foreach loop in my view.thtml file on the $posts var,
nothing happens.
We are still in the review stages of multiple frameworks, but think
that CakePHP is the one for us. I would like to know if I am headed
in the correct direction to get the information that I need to build a
blog/view file with a list of all the posts that have been made to the
blog.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: Can i have url like domain/username
Hey Yujin,
I do something similar.
'faqs',
'action' => ':action'));
// This line is a catch all
Router::connect('/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display'));
?>
Check out this article.

Re: Update gone wrong.
I'm not sure if I'm having this problem or not (I'll explain why in a second..) - I've updated to the latest Cake 1.2 pre-beta, (not tried any of the nightlies yet though - at the moment the nightlies page only seems to link to empty files) I seem to be able to get the cache to write files to my tmp directory, but I'm having a couple of problems 1) The cached copies of my pages don't seem to be getting used. In my controller, I have 'Cache' in my helpers array, and also var $cacheAction = array( 'controller/action' => 5 ); in the same controller which seems to create the cached copies ok - but these files don't get read when reloading the page - is there anything else I should be doing to ensure that cached copies of pages are used, rather than regenerating the pages every time? - I've checked this by putting a timestamp in my page code, and this timestamp updates every time I hit refresh (I'm assuming, if the cache was working, this wouldn't be happening) 2) The cache doesn't seem to work with named parameters, especially with pagination - e.g. if I use controller/action/page:2 then it reports a file error writing to the cache (I'm assuming because of the semicolon). Is this usual? Should caching work with pagination or is it not used for a reason? Any help would be hugely appreciated. I'm only just celebrating my 3rd month with the lovely Cake, and still learning :) Cheers On Nov 1, 6:48 pm, Mech7 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > DId anybody allready found a solution for thi :( ? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Model with custom id fields
My table has primary key made up of two primary keys.

Re: the superclass
What you probably want to do is write a component and handle your logging in the startup function. You probably also want to be using the component to inform the controller as to layout / views to use for the skinning. Depending on your controllers, there are all sorts of ways you could do this, ranging from $controller->layout = 'skin' in component startup to a beforeRender filter. To get access to the db tables in your component, you'll have to use loadModel to grab instances for the logging and prefs etc. Pages controller is something totally different. It is a simple controller to just display views from the /app/views/pages directory without the hastle of creating actions. Essentially it is for static content. However, it could be informed by your component to change the layout (skin) around static content and to log user progress if you add your component to AppController in /app/app_controller.php. Hope that helps.

Re: Router::url not returning absolute url
hi Grant,
I tried '/', but the problem is then it will only return the base url
and not the absolute url to the view. I found two possible hacks to
solve this
1. $absolute_url = Router::url('/', true) . Router::url('', true) --
however the problem with this one is that introduces two slashes
before the controller ..for instance, the result looks like something
this http://localhost/mysite//controller/action/params
2. $absolute_url = FULL_BASE_URL . Router::url('', true) - this works
fine..but I am not sure whether using constants directly at the
application level is a good idea.
Regards,
Ritesh

Why don't you define variables for these bits of dynamic content in your app controller and use these variables to output variable content in these elements? Elements don't have to be static.

Have a look at line 152 of the dispatcher. Do you have a route defined which doesn't say which controller to use? Have you taken the routes files from a 1.2 project and put it in a 1.1 install? Anytime there is an error for a controller with no name, it'll be related to some kind of setup (route) problem, using bake shouldn't be a factor. If you put a vanilla install in place and go to the url /asdf do you get an error message saying the AsdfController could not be found (correct response) or that an unnamed controller could not be found? Depending on your answer to the last question you should be able to form a plan. hth, AD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

It's up to you, depending on whether you want to use the functionality
of the component named "Parent" or inherit it with some modifications.
ensure that the Parent component is loaded if you do the latter.
