Re: How to pass a variable from a view to the associated controller?

[sebb86]

Ok. I made it working.

[controller code]
function view($temp, $value)
{
$this->set('persons', $this->paginate('Person', array('Person.'.
$temp => $value)));
}
[/code]

[view code for one table cell (in this example the table cell for
column "forename")]

link($row['Person']['forename'],
array('controller' => 'persons', 'action' => 'view', $temp, $value)); ?
>
[/code]

It there a better / nicer way to do this?
Thanks :)

Re: best way to cascade against a HABTM relationship?

[John Andersen]

I would go away from the HABTM usage and just implement the foreign
key for each parent table in the child table.
You will maybe use a little more space, but you will avoid the
overhead of querying the HABTM table in every query. Also you will be
able to implement cascade delete on the relationships when the parent
is deleted.
Enjoy,
   John

Re: Fixture not using Model useTable

[Josh]

I just solved it after a miserable 3 hours of trouble-shooting.

SimpleTest seems to have a flaw. It has two different methods for
determining the test_suite table name. During table creation and
insertion of fixture records, it uses the test model name property.
During subsequent interaction with the test suite table, it properly
respects the useTable specification in the real model.

It took a lot of fiddling to determine that. And, due to the
pluralizations you just mentioned, I had to change the test model name
to Dat. I may add a custom inflection tomorrow but I had trouble
getting simpleTest to recognize custom inflections earlier.

I'm glad that is all over with.

Thanks for your help.

How to pass a variable from a view to the associated controller?

[sebb86]

Hello,
how can i pass a variable from a view to the associated controller? I
need this because i want to reload the view with other values for
paginate.
I'd like to do this inside "html->link". The two variables are named
"value" and "temp".
"temp" should contain the database field in the suitable form, that i
can insert it correct. "value" cotains the value for paginate.

[some controller code]
$this->paginate('Person', array('Person."$temp"' => $value))
[/code]

[view code]
link($row['Person']['forename'],
array('controller' => 'persons', 'action' => 'view', "forename" =>
$temp, $row['Person']['forename'] => $value)); ?>
[/code]

I don't get it working. :(
Thanks if someone can help!

Re: Fixture not using Model useTable

[Jeremy Burns]

Have you cleared your cache? Clear the contents of all folders under 
/app/tmp/cache. Then run your app with debug set to 2 at least once (this 
refills the cache). If you are using  var $persistModel = true;  
in your app_controller, disable that first then re-enable.

Fixture not using Model useTable

[Josh]

Hello (help!!!),

I had to rename a table in my database. I was able to specify the
useTable in my model so there was no significant knock-on from this
change.

But, my unit tests won't recognize the new table name during table
creation. I can see in the SQL dump that the old table has been
created (per Inflector:pluralize), and from the error...

"Database table test_suite_datums for model Datum was not found."

... I can see that simpleTest knows what the table name should be
(datums is the new useTable... replacing the default data--which
conflicts with Cake). I have tried emptying cache, writing a custom
inflection, and I have tried putting in undocumented members--ie
useTable--in the fixture. But, I can't seem to solve this problem, and
now none of my tests can run since this fixture is instantiated for
all test cases.

Any suggestions? I have seen similar problems to this which were never
solved:

http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/fedca8aff44d9a4f/9040989b8f883180?lnk=gst&q=fixture+usetable#9040989b8f883180

I am pulling my hair out. I'd prefer not rename the model entirely.
There must be a clean way to make the fixture recognize the Model
useTable.

Thanks

Re: My App is Getting too Slow

Have you profiled the request yet? (Suggested above.) Look into xdebug -

btw. Are you absolutely sure it's server time you're waiting on? Yslow or
Pagespeed will tell you that. Hmm... 79 queries is absolutely nuts too. I've
heard it said - can't remember where - that anything over about 7ish per

Re: Manipulating Data Based on Non Related Model Data

[Jeremy Burns]

This could well start a storm of "you're not quite right" replies - but I think 
the spirit of this answer is about right.

In MVC:
Models do all the data humping and nothing else. Models can have behaviours 
(such as the tree behaviour).
Controllers control how the application flows. Controllers can have components 
that perform specific functions shared by many/all controllers. Controllers 
talk to models to retrieve/save data, and then send it to views.
Views do all the presentation and user interaction. Views shouldn't really 
contain too much logic - but they can have helpers that handle recurring 
specific display tasks (such as your time slot issue).

So by the presentation layers, I mean the view part.

Re: Js helper issue

[LordZardeck]

I have that correct. I also have it in a file called app_helper.php
and the helper class states:

class AppHelper extends Helper {

Do I have the AppHelper class wrong? If not,could it be the naming of
the Engine itself? Here's what I have:

class DojoEngineHelper extends JsBaseEngineHelper {

in a file called dojo_engine.php. Do you have any other ideas of what
could cause this?

Re: Manipulating Data Based on Non Related Model Data

Is this for the presentation layer? If so, the controller can call the raw data

Re: odd form field behavior when implementing auth

[Jeremy Burns]

Try:

echo $this->Form->input('employee_id', array('type' => 'text'));

I think the reason it is hiding it is because Cake usually hides id fields on 
add/edit views - probably does the same for a login form too? But I'm guessing 
a bit.

Re: Js helper issue

[mark_story]

Not loading the helper correctly can do that.

$helpers = array('Js' => array('Dojo')); should do it.

Re: Let's get rid of The Bakery

[mark_story]

Just thought I would chime in on this one.  The spam issue, has
definitely become a problem and is certainly something that needs to
be fixed.  There are also a number of other issues with the bakery as
others have noted in this thread.

Some background on how things got to where they were is order I
think.  About 9 months, ago a group of people started some work on the
bakery.  Over time interest and time dwindled and the work started was
never really completed.  Personally, between work, cakephp, debug kit,
the api, and the rest of my life, I simply don't have the time to
spend on fixing what needs to be done on the bakery.  What the bakery
really needs right now is a few people who can make the time to fix up
the existing issues, and have some ideas on how to make the bakery an
even more useful source of information.  The source code for the
bakery is freely available on github. http://github.com/cakephp/bakery
.  There is also a ticket tracker setup on lighthouse.  All it needs
is some time and love, and some people willing to help rehabilitate
it :).

Currently moderation for the bakery is done manually by a small group
of people, however with limited hands and time its very challenging to
get everything done that needs to be done.  If people are interested
in moderating the bakery, I'm sure something can be arranged.

Re: Let's get rid of The Bakery

[Predominant]

Hey all,

Rest assured, we're discussing this problem within the development
team to ensure the action we do take is the best for the long term.
We apologise for the spammy comments that exist while we decide on and
implement a solution.
This should be resolved very soon.

That aside, the bakery and cookbook are open projects.
While the core team continues to work on the hundreds of tickets[1]
that exist for the core including enhancements and defects, we do have
trouble finding time to continually develop the associated projects
such as the bakery.
In the past we have welcomed "development team" members that worked
exclusively on these side projects, and we'd be interested in hearing
from anyone that would like to contribute to help keep the bakery up
to date and functional.

If you're not comfortable with developing, we're in need of bakery
moderators to read through, suggest changes, and accept submissions
for articles on the bakery.
Again, if you are interested, please feel free to contact one of the
core team (eg: markstory, myself, PhpNut, jose_zap or ADmad).
You can do that here on the group, or in IRC, twitter to @cakephp too.

In the mean time, we're fixing this spam problem as best we can!

Manipulating Data Based on Non Related Model Data

[paws_galuten]

I am learning that data manipulation needs to be done in the model.
Fat Model, thin controller. Ok, so I'm trying to wrap my mind around
something. Here's my example:

Let's assume these tables:

people (id, name)
events (id, name, day, time)
events_people (event_id, person_id)

So, people HABTM events. totally cool so far.

Now, let's say that when viewing a person I want to see all of the
events organized into time slots based on another table in the
database:

times (id, day, start, end)

There's no relationship between events and times. It's just that I
want the event that happens on Friday at 2pm to be displayed in the
time slot that is Friday 1pm - 4pm, for example.

The point is, somewhere I have to cycle through the times and then
cycle through the events and see if the time of the event is between
"start" and "end" so I know if it should be displayed there. I guess I
need to do data logic like that in the model, but which model? Should
I have a method in the person model in which I also grab the data from
the time model and then return an array with all of the display data
neatly packaged for the view?

Maybe this is a confusing question. I think I'm just still trying to
understand the cakePHP conventions.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

wildcard prefix routing

[sax]

I'm having some errors when following the exact example from the
CakePHP cookbook on Route Configuration. 
http://book.cakephp.org/view/544/Prefix-Routing

I am trying to replicate the example and have routing connect a prefix
and action name to a matched method in my controller. So, a prefix of
user and an action of create would match up to a method of
user_create.

This is the exact example from the doc yet errors with a missing
method for the action. The error is correct in the sense that I do not
have a method with the exact name of the action, but thats the point,
I have methods that are a blend of the prefix and action. Any help
would be appreciated. Assume that I have the same router connect code
as the example below. I'm using cake 1.2.6

The documentation goes as follows.

Wildcard prefix routing is available using the named element :prefix
similar to :controller and :action. You can map the url /api/user/
create to your user_create action of api controller using the
following route

Code View
Router::connect('/api/:prefix/:action', array('controller' => 'api'));

odd form field behavior when implementing auth

[Ben W.]

hello -

I am trying to figure out why a form page for login refuses to display
a field with the name employee_id.

code is as follows:

model:
class User extends AppModel {
var $useTable = 'employees';
var $primaryKey = 'employee_id';
}

controller:
class UsersController extends AppController {

var $name = 'Users';
var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');
var $components = array('Auth');

function beforeFilter() {
Security::setHash("md5");
$this->Auth->fields = array('password' =>
'employee_password','username' => 'employee_id');
$this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' =>
'dashboard', 'action' => 'index');
$this->Auth->loginError = 'No username and password was
found with that combination.';
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/';

}

function login() {

}

function logout() {
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
}

view:
$session->flash('auth');
echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'login'));
echo $form->input('employee_id');
echo $form->input('employee_password');
echo $form->end('Login');


Yet the result is http://dl.dropbox.com/u/178319/cake-arg.jpeg

Any ideas why it refuses to show the input form field employee_id ?

Allowing access to plugin pages

Just wondering how to grant access to a plugin page using Auth.

Have tried using...

$this->Auth->allow(array('*'));

in the before filter for the controller app, which is being called,
but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any ideas?

Re: Sessions folder is getting huge

[Miles J]

Maybe you have a lot of sessions?

Try switching it to using a database.

Re: using Cake data in external script

[Miles J]

What exactly are you trying to use?

Cakes system is so tightly coupled with it self, that its going to be
near impossible to use certain parts of it externally.

using Cake data in external script

[Paolo]

Hi all, I'm trying to use Cakephp data in an external script, I used
to do something like this in 1.1:

require 'app/webroot/index.php';

But it does not seem to work in 1.2, it complains about AppController
missing. Is there something I need to change to make it work?

Thanks

Fitting my application architecture into Cake

[Osman Ullah]

Hi all,

I am a pretty novice programmer when it comes to PHP and I am just
learning to use Cake. My expertise is in "stateful" environment
(desktop clients, flash clients, etc). I have some questions about the
best way to do what I need and I was hoping someone here might up to
giving me some advice.

Anyway, I am trying to use Cake to provide the MVC architecture for a
web app I am building. We already have REST APIs available to access
the data so I want to use those.

I am getting stuck on (a) how to handle authentication and (b) how to
get the data.

The way that authentication works in our system is:

1) Make request to login service at fixed url
2) The response will contain a session ID (I will call this mySession)
and new URL for all future requests
3) Make all future requests at new URL, and include session id.

So the problem I am having is how to properly model this?

So far I have come up with creating an "auth component" which works
similar to the CakePHP auth component. It checks for a valid mySession
ID and if it is there, it allows the application to continue,
otherwise it redirects to the login page. When the user logs in, this
component will store the mySession ID as well as the apiUrl in the
Session.

The 2nd problem is how to access data...I thought the best way would
be to add a http service to the models which would make the request
for data and then override the find function to leverage this.
However, now the problem is I can't access the session from the Model
to get the keys I need so maybe that isn't the right way?

I looked into using a custom datasource but the examples have been
very thin and not very helpful, and I still run into the problem how
to pass my session and api values.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Re: best way to cascade against a HABTM relationship?

[Joshua Taylor]

John,

This is not quite accurate.

Contact A would never be associated with more than 1 parent entity.  I
know that sounds strange, since it is a HABTM relationship.. but what
I've set up here is a situation where 1 contact table and 1 credential
table can serve 4 parent entities.  This way I have 2 tables instead
of 8.

The situation I am trying to create is similar to what you describe.
If someone deletes a service, the associated records from the
contacts_services, contacts, credentials_services and credentials
tables should also be deleted.

I know there are multiple ways to go about that.. I'm just wondering
what the best way is.

Thanks!

That's correct. The only thing I see that's different from how I do it
is that I use $html->link(...). I just tried it with $this->Html-
>link(...) and got a fatal error. Where do you have this code?

What version are you using?

Re: Implementing uploadify - File upload issue - param definitions issue

[Sam Sherlock]

I saw Fonzie was making progress with uploadify (having a discussion with
himself on this list as I recall - but productive 1)

he documented his progress on uploadify forum - I also tried his findings to
partially good results - better than swfupload anyway

here is the link
http://www.uploadify.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5017&p=9334&hilit=cakephp#p9334


I managed to get files uploading (multiple files) but not able to
insert/update to db - and it logged me out after too

I was using cake 1.3 & latest uploadify too
