Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
This should be taken care of by your view.
You'd do something like this in your form:
?php echo $form-input('name_en_gb', array('label' = __('name', true)));
?
Good Luck!

Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
If you mean display to the user I don't see where the problem is. If you're talking about scaffolding, just make a proper view. If you mean change internally it's more hassle than it's worth IMHO. Can you clarify a bit what you want to do and where you're stuck?

Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
hi, Thank you, I have a cakephp application, the product model has the 'name' field, and all the codes, that is the controller, view, call that field as 'name'. but right now the product table in the database which has the field 'name' has been changed to 'name_en_gb', I am wondering, is there any small change in the model I can do such that it will read the 'name_en_gb' field in the product table in the database, but at the code level, the view, controller, etc can access it using the 'name' field.

Re: how to display a different field name from the database in the model
You should really look into changing the variable name in the code. With searchreplace this may be the best option. Otherwise, you could do that in the model with the afterFind callback. Just copy the field: $model['name'] = $model['name_en_gb']; But you're setting yourself up for all kinds of problems with this, as you'll have to convert back and forth between the database and application.

Re: How to save extra field in join table in HATBM Cake1.2
Hi Andre,
In the HABTM relationship definition you can define an attribute
'with' where you can specify which model acts as the HABTM model (in
your case posts_tags). Then you can create the posts_tags model which
gets saved with the additional fields.
I have not experimented with it but I saw some articles/posts about
this a few days ago (a quick search did not turn up any useful links
so you'll have to search for yourself).
Hope this helps (or at least a little ;)).
Good luck!

I've been struggling with this issue for few weeks with HABTM where

Re: HABTM - SQL Error 1062 w/ 1.2 RC3
I'm replying to myself.
The issue is basically related to the fact that HABTM table and its
fields must be in alphabetical order.
So, if I want a post in many languages, I should use:
languages_posts as the relation table
The columns must be: language_id post_id as a united primary index
I think that this is due to the fact that cakephp in using a ordered
sintax in specifing values in INSERT queries.

Re: Does calling model methods from elements break MVC pattern?
I'm really curious about this topic as well as it speaks to an aspect of the CakePHP Model class that has never really clicked with me. Andrea's example is perfect for explaining the point. In most MVC frameworks, when you retrieve data from storage (ram, db, file, etc), you usually get an instance of the model class itself, not a map/dictionary structure. This makes it easy to fetch calculated values, such as full_name, age, etc. In one respect, you could consider these helper functions, but I usually think of them as smart accessors - you store the minimal data necessary and calculate more common derived values on the fly (or you cache them in the rare chance it's worthwhile to do so). Andrea's suggestion (pre-calculating values in the after_find method) makes sense, but it assumes that the value is always worth calculating and storing after a lookup. (Perhaps you don't always need the value, or calculating it takes a long time). So what's the recommended convention for CakePHP for handling this stuff? Better yet, what do some of you who are veterans with the framework do? I could imagine it could be a helper class available to views where the input is the map of values. I could imagine something like QRCC suggests where its a method (static?) on the Model. Still, none of this feels right. I'm looking for something elegant and hope someone out there has already worked through this as a design issue.

Re: Any truth to charge of 'thousands of db queries' ?
Yes, by default cakephp does make a lot of database queries if you have a lot of model associations. Thousands? Hmm... not really that I've seen.. but still more than one would hope for (for me sometimes between 40 and 120 per page, although all of them would take 0 ms each). Having said that, there are ways to minimise this by optimising your find calls, and only requesting the data that you need with the awesome Containable behaviour. I would also like to say that cake's database layer has undergone a bit of optimisation in the past year and queries are a lot more efficient and therefore less queries needed than what it used to be.

Re: Any truth to charge of 'thousands of db queries' ?
As Adam said, it is an unrealistic claim to say cake makes thousands of queries to do something routine. In addition, you always have full control over the generated queries either by enforcing JOINs with on-the-fly model binding, or by using Containable to limit the amount of returned data.

Conventions regarding people and Person
Hello everybody. I have a question regarding the convention within the CakePHP manual.

Error: RedirectController could not be found.
Hi everybody,
I'm going through a book called CakePHP Application Development and
I thought I was doing okay. Then, without changing anything
deliberately all of my pages are showing errors. Here are the errors:
Error: RedirectController could not be found.
Error: Create the class RedirectController below in file: app/
controllers/redirect_controller.php
?php
class RedirectController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Redirect';
}
?
I now have a similar error (but with different missing controllers) on
all of my pages.
Has anybody come across this error before, and can anyone suggest a
cause or remedy?
Cheers,
Matt

CakePHP 1.2 RC3 - Problem with alphaNumeric validation
Hello,
I upgraded my project from RC2 to RC3 today, and all went smoothly
except for 1 area, validation.
I have a User model, with the following validation: (a sample)
var $validate = array(
'first_name' = array(
'alphanumeric' = array(
'rule' = 'alphaNumeric',
'message' = 'Your name can only
contain letters.',
),
'between' = array(
'rule' = array('between', 1, 15),
'message' = 'You must supply your
first name',
'required' = true
)
),
'last_name' = array(
'alphanumeric' = array(
'rule' = 'alphaNumeric',
'message' = 'Your name can only
contain letters.',
),
'between' = array(
'rule' = array('between', 1, 15),
'message' = 'You must supply your last
name',
'required' = true
)
)
);
In CakePHP 1.2 RC3 both first_name and last_name fail to validate with
valid values (or any value infact).
I've traced this down to the regex in /cake/lib/validations.php,
around line 170.
My development machine, OS-X, PHP 5.25 this issue does not occur.
On the server, CentOS, PHP 5.1.6 this does occur.
If this is a setting in PHP, or a known issue with PHP 5.1.6 please
let me know.
James

Re: Does calling model methods from elements break MVC pattern?
First of all, i must admit that this discussion is becoming very interesting, because i often find myself thinking if the way i'm doing something with CakePHP is actually the right way. My suggestion in using the after_find was just an example of a restricted case, but I think that it's not the true correct way to do things (because there could be a lot of situations in which we cannot apply that, and there are also many cases in which that solution is not efficient at all). I think that the fact that the Model Classes are often used as nothing more than an associative array, so sometimes i don't consider those real classes; that's why i prefer to let access them only from the controller. And i even think that making some shortcut from the view to the model, could create some problems with the routing/security/etc. because in that way there are actually ACTIONS not controlled (nor performed) by a CONTROLLER. For example if you then want to make any statistic on those performed actions where can you put your code then? in the model? in the view? ..there is not the controller. Bye, Andrea On Oct 5, 9:49 am, skylar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm really curious about this topic as well as it speaks to an aspect of the CakePHP Model class that has never really clicked with me. Andrea's example is perfect for explaining the point. In most MVC frameworks, when you retrieve data from storage (ram, db, file, etc), you usually get an instance of the model class itself, not a map/dictionary structure. This makes it easy to fetch calculated values, such as full_name, age, etc. In one respect, you could consider these helper functions, but I usually think of them as smart accessors - you store the minimal data necessary and calculate more common derived values on the fly (or you cache them in the rare chance it's worthwhile to do so). Andrea's suggestion (pre-calculating values in the after_find method) makes sense, but it assumes that the value is always worth calculating and storing after a lookup. (Perhaps you don't always need the value, or calculating it takes a long time). So what's the recommended convention for CakePHP for handling this stuff? Better yet, what do some of you who are veterans with the framework do? I could imagine it could be a helper class available to views where the input is the map of values. I could imagine something like QRCC suggests where its a method (static?) on the Model. Still, none of this feels right. I'm looking for something elegant and hope someone out there has already worked through this as a design issue.

Re: dealing with curly quotes
Hey Adam, thanks. Here's how I'm setup:
core.php
Configure::write('App.encoding', 'UTF-8')
database.php
(I don't see a place to specify UTF-8)
MySQL
utf8_general_ci
default.ctp (head section)
?php echo $html-charset('UTF-8') ?
Am I missing anything?
When you say to make sure all of my code is utf8 compliant (eg string
conversions), what do you mean? Can you be more specific?
I think users of my site are entering curly quotes, which are saved to
the db, then come out as garbage when displayed in HTML.

Re: $this-
The very basics in simple language:
An object is grouping variables and functions together.
class MyObject {
var $myObjectVariable = 12;
function myObjectFunction() {
// does something
}
}
You can move a bunch of functions and variables around in one package
without worrying about naming conflicts with other variables or
function names, and can reliably access those variables inside the
object since they're guaranteed to be packaged together.
$obj = new MyObject();
Now $obj has all the stuff I declared above in class MyObject. To
access all that stuff, you use -.
$obj-myObjectVariable; // = 12
$obj-myObjectFunction(); // does something
The question that remains is, how do you access $obj-myObjectVariable
from within the object itself (i.e. from the line // does something
above)? The answer: $this.
class MyObject {
var $myObjectVariable = 12;
function myObjectFunction() {
$this-myObjectVariable;// refers to 12 above
}
}
Just felt like posting that here... ;)

Re: css parsing stripping background-image tags from css
Are you using CSS compression? If so, if the CSS syntax is invalid Cake might strip it out accidentally when removing comments etc. And the usual: Check caching. Maybe Cake or your webserver is just serving an old copy. Make sure you are looking at the same two files (editing A while actually B is included).

Javascript causing Ajax form to submit, but not all ajaxy like I want
I didn't know how else to describe it. Here's the code:
?
echo $ajax-form('addComment', 'post', array(
'model' = 'Comment',
'url' = array('controller' = 'comments', 'action' ='add'),
'update' = 'pureGenius'));
//echo $form-input('comment', array('rows' = '3'));
?
script type=javascript
var flag = false;
/script
textarea name=data[Comment][comment] onKeyDown=if(event.keyCode ==
13 flag) { submit(); } if(event.keyCode == 16) { flag = true; }
onKeyUp=if(event.keyCode == 16) { flag = false; } style=width:100%;
height:100px; id=CommentComment /textarea
? echo $form-end('Talk'); ?
So basically I want it when someone types Shift+Enter in the text box
it submits the form. If I use the submit button, the form submits all
ajaxy in the proper way. However if I use the Shift+Enter method, the
form submits, but not in the good ajax way, it reloads the page. Is
there a seperate submit call for an ajax form?
Also, I find that its impossible to name a form. The 'addComment'
doesn't work. Neither does putting it in the array options. Anyone
else find this?
