Do you think this project is possible with CakePHP?

2011-05-18 Thread Dorell James
Hi Everyone,

I'm really new to cake and was wondering after studying it if this
(project) below is possible (i guess, pretty much believe it's
possible). :-)

Project is divided with sub-projects or modules.

   MAIN PROJECT
  SUB-PROJECTS/MODULES
  - Inventory Management Software
  - TAR (Technical Action Requests) Solutions = import excel
file i think and then when action is confirm it inserts records to the
db (data are pulled from the excel file), export documents into excel/
word format.
   - Document Creator = This is a sub project that will be
able to generate a ms.word doc out from a predefined template that we
will be making. Some parts of the document created is changeable. I
think this is a solution for our prone to error documents we created
are too long and thus we came up into our mind that we can make a web-
app that could put in data and use that data combined with template
and generate a doc file.
  - Ajax capabilities = This will be my first
time developing a project using cakephp and since I'm a newbie with
cake, i would like to ask if it's easy to integrate with ajax
capabilities and etc.. So sorry about this question.

Thanks much to all of you guys.

Best Regards,
Dorell

Re: Accessing variables in referenced tables in views

2011-05-18 Thread mmlunjwa
In your threads controller change the recursive value to 2:

$this-threads-recursive = 2;
$event = $this-Threads-read(null, $id);

The recursive property defines how deep CakePHP should go to fetch
associated model data via find(), findAll() and read() methods.

Then in your view use:

$post['User']['username']

I suggest you study the manual: book.cakephp.org/view/1063/recursive

That suggests your web server's DocumentRoot is not /path/to/app/webroot, so 
you should fix your DocumentRoot.

nettuts might be searching for an author for a cakephp from scratch series

2011-05-18 Thread skimmas
Hi.
I was just going around net.tutsplus.com and saw this comment from
Jeffrey Way:

Me, personally? I’m running out of room to remember how to use all
these frameworks. :) But I wouldn’t be against a from-scratch series
on Cake or Kohana. Just haven’t found the right author yet to create
the series yet.

http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/web-design-from-scratch-choosing-an-editor/comment-page-1/#comment-365133

It's paid work, so I'm just letting you know in case you're
interested.

Oh... and i'm not in any way affiliated with nettuts, just think it
would be nice to see it happen. :)

implementing a custom cache for views

2011-05-18 Thread Lorenzo Bettini

Hi

I'm still struggling trying to make localization work together with view 
cache...


do you think implementing a custom cache for views might be the 
solution?  For instance, by using a different cache file prefixed with 
the current language?


In that case, should I provide a new cache in the views/helpers location?

any suggestion/example of how to provide a custom cache view helper?

many thanks in advance

Re: user signup auth component stopped working

2011-05-18 Thread Foroct
It appears that the problem is related to David Persson's media
plugin. https://github.com/davidpersson/media

In my model I commented out the call to his plugin and I can again add
a user
Previous code
var $actsAs = array('Containable','Media.Transfer',
'Media.Coupler','Media.Generator');
New code
var $actsAs = array('Containable' /* ,'Media.Transfer',
'Media.Coupler','Media.Generator'*/);

I am using the same plugin successfully on  different model and my
$actAs array is exactly the same in both models. Does anyone know a
reason why this plugin would work on one model and not another?

Thanks.

In linux you also must set the path:
export PATH =$PATH:fullPathToTheCakeConsoleDir

I've put it in a .profile file on the home dir, but I think it might
be different depending on the shell you're using.

Am I Violating MVC?

2011-05-18 Thread Jason Mitchell
I have in a controller an array containing data used on the view to populate 
a drop down. I put it on the controller, so the array could be used by 
multiple views associated with that controller (create, edit). Additionally, 
it means that if I do ever have to change it, I just have to change it once 
(yup, lazy).

Because the data is relatively static, and is used in only isolated 
instances, it didn't seem to be worth the effort of creating a model for 
that data, and establishing a relationship between models. And, putting it 
on the controller, worked.

Admittedly, I'm new to MVC, but this really doesn't seem to jive definition. 
Am I doing something wrong?  If so, how would one but this on the model, 
short of some sort of association with another model?

setFlash issue in 1.3?

2011-05-18 Thread Michael Gaiser
This line no longer seems to output a message nor does any other use of
setFlash.

$this-Session-setFlash('Cookie created. It will expire
'.$this-Time-niceTime($cookie['expire']));


So when I was using 1.2 my code seemed to work out ok. Since migrating to
1.3, I have made sure that Session was defined in my component and helper
arrays within my app_controller. Using setFlash used to display a message in
the next page. Is this still the proper way to use it? Any help on this
would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Am I Violating MVC?

I guess it depends what the options array is used for? If it is never
associated with a model, than you can create a helper.

$this-Helper-getOptions();

Doesn't that just move it? If it's that static (e.g. 'm' = 'Male', 'f' = 
'Female') putting it in an array variable seems fine to me.

Problems with default actions on a custom route

2011-05-18 Thread Toby G
Hi all,

I'm trying to setup a custom route that allows me to serve content
based on a customer's unique ID in the URL...
http://example.com/c-customer-id/action

I have setup this in the routes.php as follows...

Router::connect('/c-:clientId/:action/*',
array(
  'controller' = 'clients',
  'action' = 'index'),
array(
'pass' = array('clientId'),
'clientId' = '[0-9]+'
)
);

I based this on the example in the manual...

Router::connect(
'/cooks/:action/*', array('controller' = 'users', 'action' =
'index')
);

However, when I don't include an action in the URL I get the error
that the controller C-cient-id does not exist.

Can anyone advise why my default action (index) is not used when no
other action is given?

Thanks in advance,

T

How to query hasAndBelongsToMany-Models?

2011-05-18 Thread func0der
Hey guys,

i'm just wondering how you can do a ordinary hasAndBelongsToMany query
with cake without all these dynamic bindings and stuff.

I'm having a gallery to galleryImages relationship but i can't search
for images in a specific gallery over this relationship.
This is maybe because i don't know how because i can't find a
documentation or it's because CakePHP is not able to do it.

Either one or the other way there is a question:
How can i do it?
or
Why is CakePHP not able to do such queries?

Greetings

Re: Am I Violating MVC?

2011-05-18 Thread euromark
i dont like using helpers for that
it usually restricts the access to the view

libs, components or model methods are more generically usable
especially if you think about it: isnt't it almost always(!) related
to at least one model?
like jeremy's example with genders to the user model

i simply put them in the corresponding models
http://www.dereuromark.de/2010/06/24/static-enums-or-semihardcoded-attributes/

but if its just SOME array not related to anyone
you could use libs or components to keep it dry while still being able
to use it in model (for validation maybe)
or any controller method as well.

Newb question - not as long a question as it looks, I promise.

2011-05-18 Thread MeatSandwich
I'm using the advice 
www.jamesfairhurst.co.uk/posts/view/uploading_files_and_images_with_cakephp
to handle uploading images.

The function uploads the files to the appropriate folder and then
returns a url which I add to $this-data so the location of the image
is saved in the database
To call the function:
$fileOK = $this-uploadFiles('img/files/campaigns', $this-
data['File']);

Then add the url to the array to be saved
$this-data['User']['image_url'] = $fileOK['urls'][0];

image_url would end up looking like: files/campaigns/userphoto.jpg

After I've done this, I want to resize the image a couple of times so
I have a large thumbnail and a smaller one as well as the original.
I'm using the advice at bakery.cakephp.org/articles/Perkster/
2008/04/12/image-resizer-crop

to call the function I have to do
$this-PImage-resizeImage('resize', 'myimage.jpg', WWW_ROOT . 'img' .
DS, false, false, 480)

in the above the myimage.jpg bit I'd obviously want to replace with
userphoto.jpg and the WWW_ROOT . 'img' . DS bit (which is supposed to
be the folder where the image is) I'd want to presumably put files/
campaigns.

My question simply is, how can I get from :
$this-data['User']['image_url']

To having two vars, one with just the userphoto.jpg and the other with
just the folder the image is in?

I hope that makes sense, I'm new. I did try changing the PImage
function so it only needed the value in $this-data['User']
['image_url'] but that just caused lots of errors unsurprisingly.

thanks in advance

You could try dropping it into parse_url()

and see what you get.

Re: Am I Violating MVC?

2011-05-18 Thread Zaky Katalan-Ezra
I agree with the helper approach if its a helper array.
But there is not enough info about the array nature.
As you know maintaining the  code is also somthing you should think about so
if the nature of the array is pure data nature I'll advice even writing a
table and a model ...
Its easy to maintain an application when you know that all your data is in
the database for example and you don't need to start looking for data arrays
all over code.
Maybe putting the array in the appModel.

Cake vs other frameworks benchmarks

2011-05-18 Thread mutabor
Hi guys,

Lately, I came across another benchmark of popular PHP frameworks:

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/7-PHP-Frameworks-Tested-For-Speed/2/

This is approx. 3rd or 4th benchmark of this type that I came across
during last couple of month and in every benchmark Cake shows pretty
poor results.

As a head of a company that specializes in CakePHP, I am very worried
about Cake's future. Because even all of these benchmarks are wrong /
have incorrect results, our customers still trust them and I start
hearing Anything, but not Cake, please, look at this
benchmark seems it's not a good piece of software from our
customers.

Something should be done, even if there is no opportunity to increase
the speed, I guess Cake should apply some kind of PR actions :)
