Re: 'add' action and auto-setting model id

[Adam Royle]

Hi Vijay,

Have a look at the source of controller.php in constructClasses() and you will 
see what Ralph is experiencing. Line numbers are indicative of r8204 (current 
branch).

line 448:
$id = $this->passedArgs['0'];

line 452:
$this->loadModel($this->modelClass, $id);

Cheers,
Adam

  Hello Raph,

  I think you are making a mistake that you are providing a id while adding a 
record.
  If you provide the id to the save method it fires the update query.

  For further explanation Can you please paste the code here?

This method singature looks like this:

public function add($someId).

Is it normal behavior? Do I have to manually call "create()" method in
my model if I want to save, not update data?

Re: 'add' action and auto-setting model id

[Adam Royle]

Yes, whether it is right or not, that is the way cake behaves. You should 
always use Model::create() before saving a new record just in case.

For the extra paranoid, you can do this on your add() action:

$this->Model->create($this->data, false);
$this->Model->save();

The second parameter (false) means that if there is an id set in $this->data 
then it will be reset, so an insert will always occur.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: n-categories URL routing

[Adam Royle]

You could do it on a few levels - really depends on your setup (and if you 
need dynamic subdomains, etc). But yes, using .htaccess (or inside 
httpd.ini) would be your fastest options.

one more question:) is it possible to route subdomains as well such
easy way? :)

let say that we rout ... subdomain.example.com to index of a
specific controller...

OR this is done in httpd.ini ??

Re: n-categories URL routing

[Adam Royle]

Setup a route like this:

Router::connect('/categories/*', array('controller' => 'categories', 
'action' => 'index'));

Then in your index() method of CategoriesController you can then check for 
the additional params in $this->params...

This is not so dissimilar how Cake's PagesController works.

I do something like this, however I store the entire path (eg "slug1/slug2") 
in the database, since you might have duplicate identifiers like so:

/categories/sony/video-cameras/
/categories/philips/video-cameras/

Adam

Re: transactions + redirect doesn't work!

[Adam Royle]

What I am saying is you can't redirect to another page in the same 
transaction. If you really need to do something over multiple page loads, 
then you should save this data in temporary tables or in the session, and 
then add it all to the real tables on the final page. Transactions are meant 
to be kept as short as possible.

Adam

Re: transactions + redirect doesn't work!

[Adam Royle]

Yes. You must start and end a transaction with the same mysql connection. 
MySQL connections are automatically closed once the page has finished 
executing. A redirect stops the current page execution.

Re: Flash site With Cake Php

[Adam Royle]

Put this in app/views/users/xml/index.ctp

';
echo $xml->serialize($users, array('format' => 'tags'));
echo '';
?>

and put this in app/views/layouts/xml/default.ctp

header();
echo $content_for_layout;
?>

XML it doesn't show as XML in your browser if debug is set to 2,
because RequestHandler won't output the necessary headers. If that's
the case, add this in your AppController's beforeFilter() to override
this behaviour:

if (!empty($this->params['url']['ext']) && $this->params['url']['ext']
== 'xml' && Configure::read('debug') > 0) {
Configure::write('debug', 1);
}

And then it should all work!

Adam

Re: Webroot and prefix in Router::connect()

I see from a previous email you overrode your AppHelper to automatically 
prepend "/fb" onto all of your links which is causing the prob. Short of 
re-writing your links everywhere, you could modify this method so absolute 
files are not prepended with "/fb".

strip unweildy html from large blocks of text I'll do it in a beforeSave 
callback - therefore it only does it once.

Re: CakePHP XSS protection?

[Adam Royle]

You need to handle this manually. Look at the Sanitize class for cake's 
built-in methods.

http://api.cakephp.org/class/sanitize

If you don't need the user to enter any html at all, consider using the h() 
method while outputting your data, which will convert any html tags to their 
entities so they will no longer be interpreted by the browser as html.

Re: Changing view file in controller

[Adam Royle]

Why certainly! In your AppController add this:

function beforeFilter() {
if (!empty($this->params['facebook'])) {
$this->viewPath = 'fbml';
}
}

And then you would have your fbml view in:

app/views/YourModel/fbml/index.ctp

and then you put your xhtml view in:

app/views/YourModel/index.ctp

That's what I was hoping too. Unfortunately that didn't seem to be the
case.

I did a users/posts/comments example site to test functionality.
User's email address was encrypted in the DB, and when viewing the
index page, it was decrypted (working for user model). Post's title
was encrypted (just a test) and I created a method "testDecrypt" in
the Post model...all it did was a find('all') with recursive set to 3.
I then pr()'d the result and used die() to stop operation. All post
titles were decrypted (they were encrypted in the database) but the
user emails showed up as encrypted.

Re: MySQL function escape with multiple conditions

[Adam Royle]

If I am doing something like this I generally just create a string and pass 
it through. Make sure to encapsulate it in parenthesis () in case you have 
other conditions.

$event_conditions = array(
'(Event.start BETWEEN DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) AND 
DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 7 DAY))'
);

$this->set() doesn't return a value. so $transaction_amount_total will be

$data = $this->Jurisdiction->Transaction->find('all', array(
 'conditions' => array('Transaction.jurisdiction_id =' => $id),
 'fields' => array('Transaction.id','SUM(Transaction.amount) AS Amount'))

$transaction_amount_total = $data[0][0]['Amount'];

Re: Organization issues and more...

[Adam Royle]

Wow. Sorry, I didn't read your entire email. But a few things..

1) Yes, generally you have just one table per model per controller.
2) A more flexible solution is to have your menu heirarchy to be separate 
from your controller/action heriarchy. This will allow you to separate your 
visual navigation from your controller structure. Design your database 
around the data that you'll be housing. That will then dictate the 
models/controllers to use. Then once you're happy with the structure, you 
can then create a menu that can point to any resource, and be structured how 
you want it. And if you change your mind about how the menu should be 
displayed, you shouldn't need to change your database/model/controller 
structure.

Adam

Subject: Organization issues and more...



My questions aren't exactly about CakePHP, but more so around the MVC
architecture. I couldn't find my particular answer through searching,
but at least I discovered that this seems like an acceptable question
here.

I have a main menu. For each main menu item, there is a sub menu. To
me, it made more sense that the URL would be //
/, which would be /controller/action/. Because of this,
I created a controller for each main menu item, and created actions in
the appropriate controller for each sub menu item. My intents are for
the user to click the main menu item, and the first sub menu item will
be selected by default. As such, I used the index() for each
controller to be the first (default) sub menu item.

This is where I get confused though. The main menu item is simply for
organizational purpose. It is almost as if I shouldn’t even have a
controller for the main menu items, but rather, a controller for each
sub menu item. I guess I would have to split my current database table
up into multiple database tables, one for each controller (sub menu).
I guess that also means one model for each controller as well. Does
this make more sense?

I have further issues, which go a bit further off topic but my main
question is about MVC still. On each of these sub menu pages, the
information from the database for the authorized user is displayed for
the particular section they are on. I wanted to be able to edit this
information by clicking on the text displayed and having it turn into
a input box for editing. Then, when the user clicks away or presses
enter, it turns back into normal text, without the input box. I can do
this with Javascript just fine, but I don't know how this fits in with
MVC. I guess I would just put it in my view and use it how I would
without this framework, except input boxes will be created using the
form helper? I really think I would prefer this method of editing over
a separate edit page, but if you strongly disagree then constructive
criticism is accepted. However, I'm still not entirely sure when the
actual saving to the database should take place if I went about it
this way. I was thinking it could commit the changes every time the
text box turns back into normal text through AJAX, but depending on
how many fields are being edited, that could be putting an unnecessary
extra load on the server. I suppose it is a design decision I should
be asking myself rather than people who are reading this that don't
know any details of my project, but I am open for suggestions. The
point was that I wanted the page to almost always have a presentation
appearance and a bit more of an interactive feel to editing rather
than switching entirely to an editing view.

Congratulations to those of you who actually read everything. Thanks
in advance for any help or insight.

Re: Advanced(?) Behavior question

I am fairly certain that each related model will take care of it's own 
beforeSave and afterFind callbacks, so you should just need to handle 
encryption/decryption for the primary model, and each other model that is 
saved/found will handle its own as well.

Re: Problem with Large Datasets

[Adam Royle]

It's possible to use a combination of cake's magic and raw sql together, which 
I use occasionally when I need something a bit out of the ordinary but still 
want to use the cake methods (to make use of model binding, etc).

eg.

function getHomepageArtists() {
$query = array(
'fields' => array('id', 'name', 'slug'),
'conditions' => 'Artist.id IN (SELECT artists_events.artist_id FROM 
artists_images INNER JOIN artists_events ON artists_events.artist_id = 
artists_images.artist_id)',
'contain' => array('Image'),
'order' => 'popularity, RAND()',
);
return $this->find('all', $query);
}


Hope that helps,
Adam

  Hi all,

  I'm having a scalability problem, and urgently need to refactor. The 
project is just 2 months old and already has over 20,000 users.
  How do you handle passing an array with 5000+ values as a condition 
  e.g. $conditions = array('User.id'=>$bigArray); 
  As the records grow bigger, it takes longer. 

  I'm not looking to paginate because what happens is that an alert is sent 
to the users in the final result set. Browsing through the result set is NOT 
necessary.

  Models?
  I have a User model  with the following key relationships

  hasMany UserDegree
  hasMany Certification
  hasMany Skill
  hasMany Language
  belongsTo City

  The User model has a few columns as well - dob, marital status  and 
gender.

  Herein lies the problem - a user can set different criteria for searching 
through the entire user database using any of the attributes above.
  She can say for example, I want users in Kansas, aged between 22 and 27, 
who have degrees in either Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics, has 
Marketing skills
  and can speak a bit of  French.

  What I do right now is select from the users table, those aged between 22 
and 27, then amongst these ones, those with the relevant degrees => then get 
from this set, the ones that have marketing skills. So I keep filtering using 
their user_ids. and passing them to the relevant model using conditions like 
$conditions = array('UserDegree.user_id'=>$bigArray); 

  Initially, this worked well with a few thousand records. But now with 
20,000. Takes  3-5 seconds and is really cpu intensive and hard on the MySQL 
server.

  What can I do?

  Thanks!!

Re: grr help with cron/shell tabs

[Adam Royle]

"cake" is a shell script which needs to be chmod'ed to 755 to allow being 
executed (also chmod +x will do that)

If you're getting the output of the file instead of it being executed, then 
it seems you're passing the script onto something else (such as the php 
interpreter) rather than executing it as a script.

Do you have command line access? If so, try it first manually before trying 
to run in cron.

Even if you try and run the shell script with no arguments you should get 
something.

btw, this is the full command to run (either in cron or manually, no 
linebreaks either):

/home/mileswj/cake/console/cake your_shell_name -app 
/home/mileswj/sc2armory.com/app/

Even if you run this manually, you should get a listing of the available 
shells:

/home/mileswj/cake/console/cake -app /home/mileswj/sc2armory.com/app/

If you don't have command line access it's possible that the control panel 
you're using is changing the command before entering into cron (such as 
prefixing it with path of php). If that is happening you might need to write 
a dummy php script that exec()'s your real command.

Cheers,
Adam

You will need to exclude the portfolio directory from being sent to your

Re: Modifying Html Helper Image method for localization support

[Adam Royle]

I guess it depends if you have any shared images that might be generic and 
used with all languages.

If you want to override the helper, you can do it by creating an AppHelper 
class in app/app_helper.php

Although this does change your functionality and you would have to duplicate 
any shared images between all languages.

I would probably go the more explicit route, and just append the language to 
the image path ($lang = 'en/').

$html->image($lang.'btn_action.gif');

Adam

Re: PHP Fatal error: Class 'Router' not found in cake\libs\view\helper.php on line 178

I found this problem too, when I was sending emails using a cron job, and 
needed to link back to the site. However there is an easy workaround.

I am using the EmailTask from the Bakery, and added importing the router and

Well, if you use xxx then it's not using the router is
it?

Why would you want to be outputting links in a shell script anyway?

Re: Manual sorting of data records (datasets)

[Adam Royle]

Something like this should work (as long as you include the 
RequestHandler component). Personally, I use an extra field "rank" in my 
table which is just an integer.

if ($this->RequestHandler->isAjax() && 
!empty($this->params['form']['tableId'])) {
 foreach ($this->params['form']['tableId'] as $rank => $id) {
 $this->YourModel->save(compact('id','rank'));
 }
}

Re: Find max(id)

[Adam Royle]

Oh right I see what it's doing now. I would say that it's a bug then. 
CakePHP should not generate invalid SQL queries. Although I'm pretty 
sure Cake adds the id field to the field list because it is required for 
recursively finding associated records, it could prob be modified to 
always add the MAX() command around the id field it when using "group 
by", for mssql at least.

Time for a ticket I reckon. You can submit it via trac.cakephp.org

Adam

Re: One directory for all view files.

Yes, CakePHP has a separate folder for each controllers views, but I

them anyway?

I recommend you stick with the conventions to start with, and further 
down the track if you still want to change it, you'll find a way.

Re: Find max(id)

[Adam Royle]

I think the majority of CakePHP users are using MySQL, so it could be a 
bug in the cake's MSSQL datasource. You should do some investigating 
into what query is generated, does it run if you try it through sql 
server directly? If not, what needs to be changed for it to work? Then 
look at the mssql datasource and see if it's a bug or whether it could 
be improved upon. If not then you may just need to execute a raw sql 
query instead of using the find methods.

Re: Security component breaks my ajax requests

[Adam Royle]

Looking at the Security component source, you need to override the 
validatePost value in SecurityComponent. The following is untested code, 
but I think it should work.

function beforeFilter() {
 if ($this->action == 'your_action') {
 $this->Security->validatePost = false;
 }
 parent::beforeFilter();
}

Re: How to set up site structure with Admin folder and controllers?

[Adam Royle]

Have you looked into admin routing?

You'll just need to prefix your actions and your views with "admin_" to get 
it to work (and enable it in app/core.php)

And then set up a route for your admin homepage, which would point to 
AdministratorsController::admin_dashboard()

Router::connect('/admin', array('controller' => 'administrators', 'action' 
=> 'dashboard', 'admin' => 'admin'));

Hope that helps,
Adam

Re: Manual sorting of data records (datasets)

[Adam Royle]

Both protaculous and jquery (and prob most other js libraries) have a 
sortable function so you can drag and drop records  (re-ordering) with 
your mouse, and a serialize function so you can send the re-ordered ids 
back to the server to update the database.

I'm sure you could also do the move up/down code pretty easily, but drag 
and drop is pretty common these days and is not too difficult. One thing 
to be aware, is not all libraries support sorting table rows (afaik), 
but there are workarounds.

Hope that helps,
Adam

Re: Plugins - Calling plugin App Controller from base application App Controller

[Adam Royle]

Due to the way plugin controllers work with inheritance, you can only 
access the plugin's beforeFilter logic when the page is requested 
through the plugin (ie. /plugin/controller/action/)

 From what I can tell you want to execute plugin logic from your base app?

The proper way to do this is by creating a component inside your plugin, 
and adding it to your $components array inside app_controller. Look at 
the DebugKit plugin as an example of how this can be achieved.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: Pages and Views

[Adam Royle]

I think you're on the right track with your thinking.

1) You should route to your "users" controller, not the pages controller

Router::connect('/search', array('controller' =>  'users', 'action' =>  
'search'));

2) You should explicitly set your search form url.

echo $form->create('User',array('url' =>  '/search'));

3) Then inside your "users" controller, you'll have a "search" method 
that looks at $this->data['User']['search'] for the search string.

Make sense?

Re: How to embed flash when using CakePHP

[Adam Royle]

You might want to give some examples of your code if you want anything 
more specific than what I have said.

However, if you aren't already, use Firebug to look at what URLs flash 
is requesting.

And make sure you have debug = 0 when doing this so you can easily see 
404 errors when they occur.

Adam

Re: How to embed flash when using CakePHP

[Adam Royle]

Brian is right. You need to change the path to be relative to the root 
of your site, not the page.

So change this:

media/jpgrotator.swf

to this:

/media/jpgrotator.swf


In all instances and it should work.

Also, if you are loading other swfs, images, text files, etc, from 
inside flash, those paths will need to be relative to the root as well.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: Debug off denies access to login page

Try debugging by putting logging statements in your code step by step and 
see what you get.

$this->log('yayaya');

And you can check them inside app/tmp/logs/

Re: email to blog functionality

[Adam Royle]

I've done it using cpanel (quite easy actually), and from some googling 
it seems possible with plesk too. Just search for " pipe email to script".

With #1, you can use php imap extension, which lets you access both pop 
and imap mailboxes.

Re: email to blog functionality

[Adam Royle]

Depends on your server setup. Two solutions:

1. Write a script that is called periodically through cron that checks 
an email mailbox for new messages.
2. Setup your email account to pipe to a script instead of to a mailbox.

I have used #2 and it works well because the script only runs when it 
needs to.

Either way, once you get the email content you'll need to parse it 
somehow to find the relevant content. I've used the mailparse php 
extension and it works pretty well.

Re: Calling a (empty!) model-method causes SQL Error: 1064

[Adam Royle]

Sounds like you have a typo somewhere (maybe you've got plural instead 
of singular?). Cake automatically creates models if they don't exist. 
Therefore it is creating a model (an instance of AppModel) and your 
method is not defined in AppModel.

Make sense?

Re: Book Comments - Should they be removed

[Adam Royle]

I think the comments should stay, but improve the functionality to make 
them more useful/constructive.

Develop a upvote/downvote system for comments. This should eliminate 
stupid comments from wasting people's time, and the popular comments 
should indicate what parts of the manual could be improved. The good 
comments could even be visible on the page by default instead of hidden.

Although I understand your suggestion that people should just edit the 
manual to include what they're suggesting, some people:

a) might not want to impose their code on others (beginners might be 
unsure what is the best way to do something and don't want to mislead 
others)
b) might be too lazy to contribute something of value, due to language 
barriers or lack of ability to write meaningful prose

I'm sure we all agree that reading through the user comments in the PHP 
manual is a great source of WTF fodder, but there are some serious gems 
in there that have saved my butt a ton of times.

Adam

Re: Displaying Unrelated Models in an Index View

[Adam Royle]

I would probably add another model, Post, like you've mentioned. I would 
also probably create a behaviour that would exist in all the sub-post 
models, which would add and remove a link from the Post model on 
save/delete.

Although I haven't used it myself, it looks like you could then use 
AD7six's Polymorphic Behavior on the Post model.

Re: Problem w/ Shells

[Adam Royle]

Have you checked your database connection? (Just a thought)

Also, with shells you need to ensure you execute the shell from the app 
folder, or specify the path to your app in -app

Re: When to use Data caching??

[Adam Royle]

I don't tend to cache data by itself, as like you've said it generally 
won't save you much time vs mysql alone. I do use view caching on busy 
sites for static content and also for elements, as it can give a 
noticeable improvement.

I guess it really depends on your traffic and the type of site you run. 
I've not tested the difference but memcache would probably give you much 
better performance than file caching.

Adam

Re: switching databases on dev and production

[Adam Royle]

I use svn:ignore on app/config/database.php, and only commit a generic
database.php.default file (that contains no usernames/passwords). Each
time I checkout the code (dev, staging, production) I rename
the .default file to database.php and make my edits on the server. So
ultimately no passwords are stored in version control. The downside to
this approach is that if you need to change the database.php.default
file (adding another db source, etc) you then need to manually add the
changes into each deployment area.

I'm sure there's a better way, but this works for me.

Adam

Re: Best way to clear cache?

[Adam Royle]

I think you might benefit from a deploy script. I have a bash script
that updates the site code from subversion and clears my cache dirs at
the same time. I have command-line access and it runs on linux, so
it's pretty easy to do that.

Re: Image Association with Records

[Adam Royle]

I do something similar and it works quite well for my purposes,
however I save my images in /files/images/, and I use behaviors to
abstract the file management away from my model.

So usually I have something like this:
Image actsAs ImageBehavior (subclass of FileBehavior)

Yes, it would be great to have a fully-fledged application example,

Re: Automatic table generation?

[Adam Royle]

Hi Carlosz,

#1. I find using a gui db program is much quicker than defining
everything in a text file. I use navicat and it's awesome.

However...

#2. CakePHP does have a thing called CakeSchema, which can be used to
generate table structures from a file definition. For more info, look
at the cookbook.

Re: Associations on the Fly - Good or Bad?

[Adam Royle]

Personally I find it easier to define all associations and use
Containable or recursive = -1 to define what data I get back. It's
easier to understand for me and works fairly well, makes it quick to
develop and easy to debug.

The only potential downside is that every associated model is loaded,
whether or not it is needed. If you have tons of models, all
associated together, then maybe you'll have a few performance issues,
however I've never been in that situation, so maybe someone else could
comment on that.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: where to start - basic security question?

[Adam Royle]

Yes, I would say most people use the controller/action/params type
urls.

Most people's thoughts about passing the action through a POST instead
of a GET to make it more secure are moot. You can fake (and modify
variables) in a POST request just as easy as you can with GET.

Your post indicates that you are aware of verifying user permissions
before you do any modifications to the database, so I won't go into
that.

Typically, a GET request should never modify anything on the server.
The default baked controllers in cake still use a GET for the delete
action for simplicity, but really they should be POST in a secure
application. You are left to implement this yourself (with the help of
the RequestHandler/Security components).

Adam

Re: Simple String Manipulations?

Try this in your model...

class Whatever extends AppModel {
function beforeSave() {
$data = &$this->data[$this->alias];
if (!empty($data['title'])) {
$data['title'] = ucwords($data['title']);
}
return parent::beforeSave();
}
}

Your could then make this a behavior down the track if you want to re-

Re: TreeBehaviour reorder performance issue

[Adam Royle]

I've had a tree with that many records and had no issues re-ordering
it (maybe 1-2 seconds max).

I seem to remember needing to set $this->MyModel->recursive = -1;
before calling the reorder methods. Maybe that is your problem - you
might be selecting more than you need to?

Maybe you should show your code though, because 10 queries is a
lot!

Re: Help requested for a "complex" find

[Adam Royle]

Hi Rob,

For complex conditions you're probably better off using a combination
of strings and arrays.

I find they're much simpler to read than cake's array syntax...

'conditions' => array(
array('alert_subject_id' => $subject),
'(Alert.start_date IS NULL OR Alert.start_date < NOW())',
'(Alert.end_date IS NULL OR Alert.end_date > NOW())',
)


Also, the reason why your initial array wasn't working is because you
defined two "OR" keys in the same array, when only one can exist.

Cheers,
Adam

No, accessing models by default is always singular, not plural.

Re: how to get the find result more convenience?

[Adam Royle]

Without seeing your sql code, it's hard to help, but I recommend you
learn the Model methods available to you, as it can often shorten the
amount of code needing to be written. Often I use a mixture between
arrays and strings for my conditions, etc, depending on how
complicated the query is.

$unreadCount = $this->MyModel->find('count', array('conditions' =>
'status < 1'));

which is the equivalent of:

$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as unread_count FROM my_models WHERE
my_models.status < 1";
$results = $this->MyModel->query($sql);
$unreadCount = $results[0][0]['unread_count'];

You can also go a step further and put the "find" logic into your
model, but just take one step at a time :)

Adam

Re: debug a failed save()

[Adam Royle]

Can you show your model & app model code? I'm guessing somewhere
you're not returning true from a beforeValidate() or beforeSave()
method.

Eg. you should do something like this if that's the case.

function beforeSave() {

if (  ) {
// cancel the save
return false;
} else {
// modify a field before saving
$this->data[$this->alias]['field'] = 'blah';
}

// ask our parent if it's ok to save!
return parent::beforeSave();

}

Re: include calculated data in the model

[Adam Royle]

Just add a physical "amount" field to your orders table, and then add
a method to your Order model which calculates the order total and
updates the order. Then call that method whenever you add/modify/
delete your OrderProducts.

Re: Return compressed XML

[Adam Royle]

If you're sending unique data for each request, I wouldn't bother
using the MediaView. Just output data in your views and set some
custom headers.

You can also find out about an easier way to gzip output in cakephp
here:

Re: Exposing a Web Service on a Cake Shell

[Adam Royle]

Todays databases are designed to handle a crapload of queries, so
don't be afraid to take advantage of this. Just make sure you've got
indexes on the right columns and your queries are using those indexes.
You could possible create another table which is optimised to hold any
database changes made along with a timestamp.

Adam

Re: Adding table row with AJAX

[Adam Royle]

It is my understanding that CakePHP is planning to migrate to jQuery
in the near future (much like the rest of the world, even my
grandmother, and she doesn't even have a computer!).

I use jQuery to add an extra row by cloning the last row, incrementing
the ids and names of the elements and appending it to the container.
Works very well without the need for any "ajax".

Adam

Re: what's wrong with my route?

[Adam Royle]

I don't usually care about routes for my admin controllers since no
one except administrators see them, so if it was me I wouldn't worry
about it.

However you could probably simplify your routes:

Router::connect('/admin/islandnews/:action/*', array('controller' =>
'newsletters', 'admin' => true));

Hope that helps.

Re: Order associated data

[Adam Royle]

Yes, you've got the categories/products thing set up as I would do it.

With ordering, you can do it both ways:

1) Just for this association - use the 'order' key when setting up the
association in categories model... eg.

http://book.cakephp.org/view/78/Associations-Linking-Models-Together#Relationship-Types-79

2) Globally - add it into the products model.

var $order = 'Product.name DESC';

Re: Run Queries Unrelated to Controller

[Adam Royle]

If your models are not directly related (as you've said above) you can
do this to load the other models.

var $uses = array('Job', 'OtherModel', 'OtherModel2');

function index() {
  $this->OtherModel->find('all');
  $this->OtherModel2->find('all');
  // ... etc
}

Or if you won't be using the other models in any other actions, you
could do this (leave out the var $uses):

function index() {
  $this->OtherModel = ClassRegistry::init('OtherModel');
  $this->OtherModel2 = ClassRegistry::init('OtherModel2');
  $this->OtherModel->find('all');
  $this->OtherModel2->find('all');
  // ... etc
}

Admittedly I skimmed through your post, but what sql is executed? Are
sure you sure you've attached the Containable behavior to your model?

Re: parseExtension and 404 throwing

[Adam Royle]

Are you including the RequestHandler component in AppController? If
not, that would explain why it's not working.

You can check the view path using pr($this); in your controller in
your view() and beforeRender() methods. I would check in both,
analysing all the values, etc.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: Using dynamic values in model validation

[Adam Royle]

Controllers talk to models, not the other way round, so you would need
to call a method in your model from your controllers, passing the
params as necessary.

Re: parseExtension and 404 throwing

[Adam Royle]

Hmm... that's unusual. I did a quick test with one of my apps that
uses parseExtensions, upgraded it from RC3 to RC4 and it worked as
expected.

Maybe there is something else in your application which is overwriting
the view path after it is set by the RequestHandler component? Try
following through the code to see why the "rss" folder is not being
set in the view path and you should find your answer.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: Using dynamic values in model validation

I don't really understand your question... are you asking if you can
see what data is going to be saved from inside the beforeValidate()
method?

If so, look at  $this->data

Re: Using dynamic values in model validation

[Adam Royle]

When defining class properties you can't use expressions - only data
structures, so you need to populate the $validate array dynamically
inside the model. You can do this in beforeValidate() method in your
model, but be sure to return true.

beforeValidate() {
  $this->validate['fieldName'] = array('between' => array(...
etc ...));
  return true;
}

Cheers,
Adam

Re: exclude form helper markup?

[Adam Royle]

I was the same as you when I first started, but over time I started
seeing the usefulness of cake's magic.

You can change the label easily by doing this:

input('email', array('label' => 'Your Email
Address:')); ?>

Oh, and make sure you have writable tmp folders and mod_rewrite and

Re: Problem with CakePHP 1.2 recursive including content to page, big problem.

[Adam Royle]

If you look at the page title, it says "PD Reality | Errors" - this
indicates there were errors. Double-check to make sure you have
uploaded all files, database connection is fine, and you've cleared
the tmp folders. Set debug = 2 and it should show you what is going
wrong. Otherwise, check the app and server logs.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: Is it possible to redefine Inflector::slug()?

[Adam Royle]

The best solution is to write a patch and submit it into the cake
core.

Re: appmodel save returns true to data not in database

[Adam Royle]

If you are upgrading from 1.1 there could be many things that are
tripping you up. You controller code looks fine, although I would
change your view code to this:

create('User');
echo $form->input('about_me', array('type' => 'textarea');
echo $form->end('Submit');
?>

Also, in 1.2 "User/about_me" would be changed to "User.about_me".

Lastly maybe there is something not right in your AppModel, or any
behaviors you might have enabled?

And make sure you try running in debug mode = 2 to ensure table cache
is being refreshed.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: Inflector::singularize converts "Is" to "I"

[Adam Royle]

Well, "Is" is not actually a plural... so... what behaviour would you
expect?

Maybe some context of where you are using this would be beneficial.

Cheers,
Adam

Re: Controller action randomly running twice

[Adam Royle]

By the way, you can also do this:

$this->log($this) if you want to really analyse the request. :)

Re: Action-Specific Helpers

[Adam Royle]

What you are doing is perfectly fine, I personally use $this->helpers
[] = 'Blah'; since it's quick and easy.

Cake will only load your helper once even if it appears multiple times
in your helpers array, so don't even worry about checking for this.

Heck, just include it twice to make sure it gets loaded!

$this->helpers[] = 'Textile';
$this->helpers[] = 'Textile';
$this->helpers[] = 'Javascript';
$this->helpers[] = 'Javascript';

(j/k on that last bit by the way)
