Associative model validation fails, but does not report.

[Michael Gaiser]

So I have a form in my domains/add view. All the domain input fields
save their data just fine when the form is submitted. The problem is
that there is another field (Characters.0.character_id) that is to
save its data to an hasMany associated join model (CharactersDomain).
In the CharactersDomain model I have added a validation rule to the
"character_id" which I have set to always fail for testing purposes.
When I use saveAll to save the Domain data and the associated
character_id in the CharactersDomain the Domain record is saved to the
database but the CharactersDomain record is not (because the
validation failed).

So I have 2 questions:

1: I thought saveAll was only to save the data if all the validations
passed. Why was the Domain record saved if the CharactersDomain record
failed its validation?
2: When the CharactersDomain fails, I want it to display its error
message on the Characters.0.character_id input. Why did it not show
the error?

Re: custom model validation question

[Michael Gaiser]

ok. i figured it out. The models being saved can be accessed in the
validation rule through $this->data.

Re: Looking for MVC & CakePHP Best practice doc, examples for Med to large sites

[John Hardy]

No hard feelings dude. the system was actually built by one person, myself.
Its hard to find good web developers nowadays, they are too enamored with 
plugins and unit testing that they don't get anything on the screen. couple 
that with feature creep and you end up as myself, frustrated. i dont usually 
reply to messages but this one slapped me in the face. as long as your app 
works, then you're 90% there.

best thing to do is always explain to yourself what the purpose of your 
controller is, if you cant explain it in a single paragraph, you may be 
bloating it with too much functionality.

mvc should be seen and a design pattern that perpetuates the separation of 
concerns. 
ie: if you feel you need to instantiate a model in a view, then your merging 
concerns, if you feel you need a helper in a controller, you're merging 
concerns.

follow the rules that have been laid out even if it seems to be more abstract 
and takes a little more effort. you'll end up with more portable system.

database design is an art, you'll never get it 100 percent correct. just 
normalize as much as you can and dont be afraid to have a model with a dozen 
relationships. its always easier to merge data that break it apart

Re: Looking for MVC & CakePHP Best practice doc, examples for Med to large sites

[Justin Edwards]

I've managed heavy sites too.  The young ones don't learn the things as
fast as you'd think.  They can google examples and copy and paste things,
but they make a lot of mistakes because they don't learn the "why" or how
software and hardware systems interact.

You'll get your pace up once you have lots of your own examples that you've
figured out how to do on your own, and then can glance back at.I read
cake's code, read everyone else's code on github, and tinker with other
frameworks.   There are so many good things out there that others have
done, and if what someone else made isn't quite what you need, take their
code as inspiration.To me the only thing that's really lacking is very
many good (more advanced) examples of ajax scenarios with 2.x.

For development as you go along,  you'd naturally take your controller
methods and turn them into components where you'd see they'd need to be
reused, the same with helpers.   For scaling to larger sites you'd really
want to debug and see where your bottle necks are and design appropriately
for the bottleneck.If you've been around that block enough times you
can foresee all of the bottlenecks you will have.

You'll naturally have lots of DUH moments and feel like a moron as you
learn, that's what learning is all about.   A man isn't worth his salt
unless he doesn't appreciate the grind and the discipline.

Re: Looking for MVC & CakePHP Best practice doc, examples for Med to large sites

[bs28723]

Thanks John. I am familiar with the mythical man month - good stuff!

You, Michael and Steve, got me to re-look at what I was really trying to 
ask. I think my questions are really more about "really" understanding 
MVC and ORM than cake.  Cake is just the code that implements MVC.  
While I understand what MVC is and does. I can define it, and I can 
write simple applications using it. (fat model, skinny controller) - I 
am not  confident in all my architecture decisions and able explain all 
my choices. I feel like I am still guessing, testing, and reworking 
things all the time.  To me, there is a big difference between good code 
architecture and well written code.  right now, I am trying to make sure 
that I am putting the code in the right spot.  It may be crappy code, 
but at least it is in the model or controller where it belongs.  Maybe 
some day I can fix the crappy code.  But I want to avoid putting  great 
code in the wrong place and end up with a crappy system. I am not sure 
that I am explaining this any better, but my knowledge gap is the MVC 
architecture. The data model is probably good for now. I am sure someone 
could improve it, I don't claim to be perfect, it will probably grow and 
change over time anyway. But it is some of the MVC expertise that I am 
looking to learn.

An analogy that I can came up with is, that I think I am walking in 
terms of MVC and Cake, and I want to start jogging or running.  But 
maybe, I am really still crawling and I need to keep working, and 
coding, and testing, and reworking, to learn to walk, before I can run. 
I think I am a fast learner and I have learned everything that I can get 
my hands on, but I need more.  I feel like a young Jedi wanting to learn 
more and more, so I can become a Master sooner.  Or maybe it is because 
I am 53, I have been designing projects and the last real programming I 
did was on an Unix System V device driver 20 years ago and this ORM 
stuff is a little Greek. Not to mention that all these young kids are 
picking this up in seconds, and I just want to keep up. LOL

John, you should be very proud of the system you built below.  I spent 5 
years doing system architecture for AT&T, helping people design 
architectures like the one you describe below. For us it was standard, 
but a lot of people probably don't understand the capability or the 
complexity behind a scalable DB architecture with clustered servers with 
masters and slaves.  This is a great testament to you and your team, and 
to Cake that it can handle this large project.

Thanks again to you, Michael & Steve. I think I am going to try to learn 
more about MVC and ORB.  Hopefully, I can find some things to help be 
learn to run, but if not, I will just keep writing coded, learning, 
rewriting and learn it over time.

Re: Cakephp and Asterisk

IMHO it'd be better to look at freeswitch.
http://wiki.fusionpbx.com/index.php/Main_Page  If you are intent on
asterisk though,  I would suggest not using PHP, and using ruby instead.
http://adhearsion.com/

If you're looking for actual public switched telephony over actual phone
lines, I might recommend other things as well.   http://www.twilio.com/
https://www.tropo.com/home.jsp

If you are intent on PHP because of familiarity I'd use twilio and check
out openvbx http://www.openvbx.org/

My apology if I offended anyone.  I have written and rewritten my share 
of bad code. I have probably even posted a few examples of my bad code 
in this group. I was just trying to see if this was the right forum for 
an architecture discussion.
Mike - I saw your apology and it was not needed. It was probably my 
fault for trying to make a joke or bad humor that did not play well in a 
posting. I have been know to step in it and put my foot in my mouth from 
time to time.  Sorry.

You and John make an important point about the data. I agree and 
understand your point.  But I am obviously not asking the question 
right, so let me rethink this.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

One more thing about migrations - yes, CakePHP does have builtin shell for 
database schema dump/restore 
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/console-and-shells/schema-management-and-migrations.html
 
but mentioned CakeDC migrations plugin is better.

Re: I'm coming from Rails 3.2. There are some specific things I'd know how to do in CakePHP 2.0. Can someone help me?

[stork]

- Package management - for libs/vendors/plugins - git submodules

- Migrations - mainly for database schema/content changes, but also for 
filesystem changes dependent on application version (migration does have 
before() and after() callbacks) - https://github.com/CakeDC/migrations

- Automated Deployment - whatever is required (Capistrano, Ant, make...), 
but I prefer pure git & console shells/tasks executed from git hooks

- Assets compression  - https://github.com/markstory/asset_compress

- Workers and Background Jobs - 
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/console-and-shells.html

- Namespaces for controllers - 
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html#prefix-routing

- Access model methods from view - combination of helpers, 
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/retrieving-your-data.html#creating-custom-find-types
 
and http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/virtual-fields.html
I prefer to not call models from views/elements/layouts/helpers, but it is 
easy to obtain model instance from  ClassRegistry anywhere in application 
code.

- Chaining model scopes - either build $options (conditions, fields, order, 
recursive, contains...) dynamically, or custom find() type

- Tests - http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/testing.html - mostly 
through web interface, sometimes also from git hooks and TestShell 
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/testing.html#running-tests-from-command-line

Re: I'm coming from Rails 3.2. There are some specific things I'd know how to do in CakePHP 2.0. Can someone help me?

[randy]

Hey Bruno,


I can answer some of these with some of my experience. I don't have much
experience in Rails but I try to keep up with what's happening in that camp.

Packages: Personally, for plugins and libs, I use git submodules. There are
pitfalls there, but it works and since I'm the only one that owns the code,
I just work through them.

Migrations: I believe Cake supports migrations but have not used them much.
I believe it works similar to Rails.

Automated Deploys: I've read that people use Cap for PHP deployments. Cap
seems pretty flexible and can be used outside the Rails domain. There's
also things like ant and Phing but haven't looked into this just yet (but
seriously need to)

Asset Compression: Yes. Via plugin written Mark Story (
https://github.com/markstory/asset_compress) It works pretty well and
supports CDNs. Also supports things like coffee script and lesscss.

Workers, etc: Cake has a Task/Shell framework that allows you create, well,
tasks and shell programs you can run from cron or wherever. Beyond that,
you can add event handlers/listeners to respond to custom events in Cake's
Event system (http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/events.html)
which is new in 2.1. Then there's things like Gearman and Beanstalkd
(neither of which I have exposure to but the concept sounds interesting)

Skipping some points...  Testing: PHPUnit is the framework used by CakePHP
2+
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/testing.html

Like you said, there's many ways to skin a cat, but these are some off the
top of my head.

Cheers!
randy

I'm coming from Rails 3.2. There are some specific things I'd know how to do in CakePHP 2.0. Can someone help me?

[Bruno Dias]

Hi guys. My intention is not to make comparisons or discuss which
framework is better. I know the power from both CakePHP and Rails. I'm
sure that there's a way to do similar things in both of them.

So, this is the situation: in Rails framework, I'm used to do
somethings that I'd like to do on CakePHP (some of them I haven't
found on the documentation).

They are:

- Package management
In Rails, I have the "Gemfile" file, where I write the version of each
"gem" used in the application. If I want to upgrade or downgrade, I
change the version and run the "bundle update" command. How do you
update plugins? Do you use tools like GIT to checkout each one to
newer versions?

- Migrations
When I need to change the database, I create a empty "migration" file
through the console command "rails generate migration". Then, in the
generated file, I add the changes, like
"rename_column :users, :address, :location". After that, I run "rake
db:migrate" and the database is migrated. How to do that on CakePHP?

- Automated Deployment
Deployment in Rails can be made automated using the "Capistrano" ruby
gem. Basically, I run "cap production deploy" in the command line.
Then, based on the instructions on the "deploy.rb" file, it logs into
the server(s), clone the newest version of the code from the git
repository, and backups the current release, so I can rollback. It
also can create symlinks for "shared" folders (like user uploads),
recompile the assets, run pending migrations, install new
dependencies, restart some server processes, restart the application
itself, and can execute other command line tasks. Is there something
similar on CakePHP?

- Assets compression
In Rails, when I'm in production mode, the CSS and JS assets are
automatically compiled into single files, and regenerated after each
deployment. That's a native feature in Rails 3.1+. Is that possible on
CakePHP?

- Workers and Background Jobs
Rails can use a gem called "delayed_job" to enqueue tasks to be
executed in background by "workers", like sending an e-mail after user
signup, for example. How do you do that?

- Namespaces for controllers
If I want to create an admin interface, or a web service (using the
"api" namespace, for example), or a "mobile" namespace, I just create
the respective folders on the "controllers" folder. Then, I put the
controllers there and create the routes to access them. What's the
best way to do that on Cake?

- Access model methods from view
It seems that CakePHP return an associative array when I grab data
from the database, and not the true "objects". So, I can not access
the model methods.
Let's suppose my UserModel class provides a method called "age" that
calculates the user current age based on his birthday. In Rails, I
could do this on the view: <%= @user.age %>. I need to create a view
helper for doing that on Cake? Like calc_user_age($user); ?> (or something like that) ?
Another situation: Let's suppose I want to get the last comment from a
user, and within the comment, insert a link to the related post using
the post title.
In Rails I would do something like @user.comments.last.post.title to
get the post title. How could I do that in Cake, without using that
"recursive=3" feature that gets lots of unnecessary data?

- Chaining model scopes
Let's suppose I have a model called Post. In Rails, I can create
scopes on models and mix them the way I want.
If I want to the get the "5 last published posts from the category
Programming ordered by the most accessed", for example, I would call
them this way:
"Post.published.from_category("programming").most_accessed.limit(5)".
If I want only the draft posts ordered by recent, integrated with
pagination, I would call "Post.drafts.recent.page(2)".
What is the best way to create and chain scopes on CakePHP? Build
dynamically an array of conditions and send it as the parameter for
"find"?

- Tests
What are the testing tools adopted by the CakePHP community? I need to
test the models and its methods, test the controllers and its
responses and variables, and test the views content (also Javascript
interaction), create fixtures, etc. I also would know if there is a
way to create something like autotest, that run the tests after file
saves.

Well, basically these are the points. Sorry for the long post, and for
my error-prone and redundant english (i'm not a native speaker). Hope
we can have a good conversation. Thank you!

Re: Looking for MVC & CakePHP Best practice doc, examples for Med to large sites

[Steve Found]

Yes, I have the eBook of this that I bought from Apress. I believe it is 
for cake 1.3 ?


Although well worthy of a read, I felt there was a lot of wheel 
re-invention going on. For example, they implement their own tree 
handling code for categories when there is already a perfectly 
satisfactory TreeBehavior class in Cake and they did not really explain 
why they felt the need to do this. They also concentrate a lot on the 
use of elements.


To talk about the original question, the way cake works IMHO is to 
distribute logic between all three of Behavior, Component and Helper 
classes with behaviors extending models, Components extending 
controllers and Helpers extending views. The best analogy I can think of 
for these is the C++ multiple inheritance concept where functions are 
added to the classes to give them more methods. For example a model with 
both Tree and Containable behaviours is both of those things in addition 
to being a model.


To have a concept, say for example you wanted an edit box that plugged 
into junit's autocompletion, you may well write a plugin that contained 
all three of behaviours, components and helpers to achieve what you want.


Good examples of this can be found in the CakeDC github repository and I 
think this is a good a repository as any to see good Cake coding practises.


https://github.com/CakeDC

Hope this is of some help,

Steve (Ratty)

You are looking for hangups in cakephp where your database setup will 
differ due to limitations with the framework. To this point, I have 
only experienced a direct relationship between the quality of your 
database setup and your final product and the ease at which you can 
bring it to completion. Cake offers many different ways to handle the 
same situation, be it auto-magic or manual. The quote at the end of 
John's link  was in fact correct and 
should point you towards the idea that if you want the most optimal 
use of your time, spend it on your data architecture because once that 
is solid, cake can handle the rest.


While I am sure that everyone here has their own opinions on what 
constitutes a good database setup, it might also not be the proper 
forum for such a discussion to the degree you are looking for as a 
MySQL forum might get you closer to your goal.

I guess my question is: How do you get access to all the other

use of the field error message code.

Working With Vendor Files

[Harsha M V]

I am implementing Google Analytics API and using 
https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/ as Vendors.

I have built a small app in PHP where i need to do the following to have 
access to the Google accounts


// Include Required Libraries
require_once 'lib/apiClient.php';
require_once 'lib/contrib/apiAnalyticsService.php';
session_start();

// Create a Google Object
$client = new apiClient();
$client->setApplicationName("GitGrow");

$client->setClientId('9211ss4169.apps.googleusercontent.com');
$client->setClientSecret('zVPmKcQLs1587zdwcn');
$client->setRedirectUri('http://gitgrow.com/index.php');
$client->setDeveloperKey('AIzaSyCWesssyMz6e9PNKXi5rYhdyeLYI1iZI');
$client->setScopes('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly');
$client->setApprovalPrompt('auto');

if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
  $client->authenticate();
  $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
  $redirect = 'http://gitgrow.com/signup.php';
  header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
}

if (!$client->getAccessToken()) {
$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
}



Since i will need the Google Account Authorization across the whole site. I 
would like to import the same into CakePHP. not sure how to bring and work 
with vendor files inside CakePHP. Can some one throw some light on how it 
can be done ?

Re: Looking for MVC & CakePHP Best practice doc, examples for Med to large sites

[bs28723]

Maybe I asked the wrong question initially, maybe this is not the right 
group for this, but I was trying to get a discussion among CakePHP 
experts to raise my level of expertise.  I learn a lot from high level 
architectural discussions (must be the computer architect in me, I like 
to know how to do something and some of the why behind it).

 From my understanding of CakePHP there is more of a link between the 
data architecture and the framework than most people think. While the 
framework should be able to model any data architecture, no matter how 
badly architected, it also seems that a good understanding of the 
framework assumptions and relationships is just as important.  In some 
cases it may make sense to tweak the data architecture to take 
advantages of the framework.  If you were doing this without a 
framework, you might not make those same changes.  (sorry, I can't think 
of a good example off the top of my head).At least for me, this is 
why I would like to see and have more discussions on not only the what 
to do, but some of the how and why.

Maybe I am alone in this kind of thinking. Maybe everyone else just 
wants a quick answer to shitty code questions, but I would rather do 
things right the first time - call me crazy.

Re: paypal on cakephp 2.x?

[thqloz]

Good Afternoon,

 I was looking for something similar and I found two interesting things :
https://github.com/daniula/CakePHP-2.0-Paypal-IPN-Plugin/ which is an 
updated version of CakePHP-Paypal-IPN-Plugin by webtechnick.
https://github.com/Quixotix/PHP-PayPal-IPN 
which is a php5 class to 
deal with Paypal Ipn Api. (Not Cake Specific).

REST Routing for plugin resources in cake 1.3

[yarik sheptykin]

Hey all,

There is no chapter in the book about REST resource routing for plugins in
cake1.3. Example with mapResources will not work.
Here is the solution that I am using:

Router::mapResources(array('rides'), array('prefix' => '/:plugin/'));
Router::parseExtensions();

Do you know any better?
I hope this helps someone. Add it to the book if you can, coz I can't login.

Cheers,
Yarik
