I've just had a look around online. Various test results may surprise you.

I suggest you conduct your own tests before trying to modify Cake's internals.

That suggestion was for the case where many date comparisons were
being done in your application code, not the DB queries.

Sure, but my point is that those other formats are not at all a good
choice for programming.

Re: Change created/modified to unix time

[euromark]

for standards it doesnt matter which country you come from - praise the 
lord.
on a db level this usually only is the one: YY-MM- (for the reasons 
mentioned above)

you are worried about a theoretical - slightly - slower performance with 
the current way of doing things?
write a test case to prove it - with a lot of loops you might actually see 
a difference. But I doubt it will be meaningful.
you will most certainly find out that the performance gain - 
if measurable at all - stands in no comparison to other things in the whole 
framework dispatching process.
meaning: if the whole process needs 1.5 seconds (request till display) and 
you search in the DB takes 0.2 than 0.15 wouldnt make much of a difference.

wrong bottleneck to work on at the moment - just my 5 cents
caching and other more practical things will make more of a difference in 
the long run.

The searches are within the database yes, the problem is that "not much of

Re: how does comunicate Model View Controller

The controller object has a member object called User. $this is the

Where are you doing these searches? If in the database I don't think
there would be much of a performance hit.

You could do a conversion in AppModel::afterFind and add a new key,
'timestamp' to the data for each record. Or you could even have the
database include it in the results for you, for that matter.

No it's not usually those formats. -MM-DD is an ISO standard for
good reason. It sorts naturally, for one thing. Another obvious reason
is right there in your comment: "DD-MM- or MM-DD-" Yes? Which
is it then? They're ambiguous, so should be avoided.

Now, if only some countries would also adopt the metric system. ;-)

I'll leave it for someone else to say. I know that I have seen where
that is set but cannot remember now.

Change created/modified to unix time

[Alex]

Hi,

I currently make use of the created and modified fields throughout my 
application but being datetime fields, performing searches/comparisons 
isn't as fast as they could be if unix timestamps were used.

I realise there may be the excuse that formatting would be required as unix 
timestamps are unreadable, but this is also the case with the current setup 
as how many people use -MM-DD HH:MM:SS when displaying dates? it's 
usually DD-MM- or MM-DD-.

What does everyone else think?

Is there a way to convert the current created/modified fields to UNIX 
timestamps with current CakePHP?

Re: Cake PHP User Management Plugin Eagle

[Steve]

I have read your reply but I believe giving a bad name to a product without 
testing or even proper knowledge gives bad business to a good product which 
is not moralistic. I shall give answer to you one by one. 

This site was not made for Design. Its for Plugin. There is nothing in 
design. Everything is in Code. We have made this Plugin to ease the work of 
those guys using Cake PHP who wants User Management on their end. Regarding 
the Testing part, you can click on this link: 
http://www.eagle.getyourplugin.com/login and type username: admin and 
password: 123456. You can see the password. 

And we are not asking a huge money. This Plugin has 56 features which makes 
it a $197 original price but we are giving it at $30 only under an offer 
price.

You must read 56 Features of Cake PHP Eagle Plugin which are:

   1. Clean code with formatting 
   2. Login 
   3. Registration 
   4. Cookie login/ Remember me functionality 
   5. Add/Edit/Delete User By Admin 
   6. Add/Edit/Delete Group By Admin 
   7. Change Password 
   8. Forgot Password 
   9. Change User Password by Admin 
   10. List of all Users 
   11. List of all Groups 
   12. Manage site Permissions using Ajax updation, Permission caching 
   functionality for fast checking 
   13. User's Email Verification 
   14. User Profile View 
   15. User activation by Admin 
   16. Routing long urls to small urls 
   17. Login with Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Four Square, Gmail, Yahoo. 
   18. Plugin takes the image from facebook, linkedin, twitter and updates 
   as profile image 
   19. If a user sign in with facebook etc for the first time then plugin 
   automatically register him/her, If a user is already registered with same 
   email then plugin will associate old account with facebook etc. So there 
   will be no duplicacy. 
   20. All Configurations are database driven. 
   21. View Online users and guest 
   22. Admin can sign out any user at any time and Admin also can inactive 
   that user so that user cannot sign in again 
   23. Deleting cakephp cache in a single click on production 
   24. Captcha support in registration form 
   25. CSRF/XSS protection 
   26. Nice pagination for list 
   27. SSL support for selected pages or whole site 
   28. Profile view with nice design 
   29. password are salted with hash 
   30. Cross browser CSS optimized code 
   31. Strict form validations 
   32. Allow/Disallow deletion of user account 
   33. If admin deletes user account then user will automatically sign 
   out(if signed in) 
   34. Image resize helper: using this you can resize image or can crop 
   with desired size 
   35. Cake CSS removed now umstyle.css contains plugin css. You can use 
   cake generic css with this plugin if you want.
   36. Ajax Form Validations
   37. Ajax Form Validations with File/Image (Hope you will like it)
   38. Ajax Pagination
   39. Ajax Sorting on all List pages
   40. Ajax Search/Filter Options on List Pages
   41. Ajax Suggestion/Autocomplete on Search/Filter text boxes
   42. User Activation/Deactivation by Ajax
   43. User Deletion by Ajax
   44. User Email Verification by Ajax
   45. Image Validation with allow Empty (Hope you will like it)
   46. Preserve pagination number after user View/Edit/Change User Password
   47. Assign user to multiple groups By Admin
   48. $var is available in all views. It contains logged in user 
   information you can print it in any view file to see what's inside it.
   49. You can use Username after domain name for profile or any page, like 
   facebook . Strong 
   username validation added. Now user cannot take username like your 
   controller name, your custom route name for ex 'login' etc.
   50. Browser Cache control. Some time you made any change in CSS or JS 
   file and your users do not see changes due to browser cache.
   51. Remember me cookie name is now configurable. This will help for your 
   multiple projects with same plugin code. And also helpful for disable 
   user's browser cookie if needed.
   52. Ajax login redirect. If user session is timed out and needs to login 
   again. Now it works on ajax call too.
   53. Clear button is added on search form for clearing all filter 
   conditions.
   54. Now all social login window will open in new pop up window. Before 
   It was not in twitter and foursquare. Popup window is now auto re-sizable.
   55. Image resize helper modified. Now it can resize all images inside 
   webroot. Before It was restricted to img folder.
   56. Blackhole error message now handled. Black hole request is due to 
   Cakephp security component. If some one tries to use form tampering then 
   cakephp security component throws Black hole exception. Now it is handled 
   by callback function.

Re: How to pass id through a form to another controller and view form

[Guti Grewal]

Thanks for the reply but thats not what Im looking for really. 
Perhaps you don't understand what I'm trying to achieve. I want to add a 
gallery, so I have three fields in this table as follows: 

Gallery Table
ID | Gallery_name | Caption

I then have an images table which is related to the gallery table this is 
the structure :

Images Table

ID | gallery_id | gallery_name | caption 

What I want to do is get the galleryid to be inserted into the images 
table, through a form, which you can see above once a gallery is added it 
redirects to images/add, I want to get the last inserted id into the form 
in the images/add form so that I am able to call on the related ones 

Any help would be appreciated greatly 

Thanks
