How to Create API's user CakePHP

2011-07-14 Thread Brandon
I believe I have set up CakePHP properly but for some reason I do not
know how to start user CakePHP to start developing my api. I know I
want to use REST for my api calls. What would be a quick way to get my
api up and running with CakePHP. It is important to get this going
with little downtime with code building.

Any help would be nice. Thank you.

I'm just trying to run a quick and dirty test on my site and I thought
it would be best to use pages for it.

I've created a page called test.ctp in the views/pages folder and a

Re: Javascript/Ajax Helpers Not Functioning

@Sherlock. I'm not sure where in either of my posts you gathered
enough information to assume with such certainty this question had
anything to do with migration. I believe this is the second time
you've posted a snyde and off topic answer to one of my questions. I,
and I'm sure other newcomers to the cake community would appreciate it
if you framed your responses to be more helpful.

@Ryan. Again I thank you for your help. Though I am working with a 1.2
version of Cake. I'm studying 1.2 because I have a large legacy system
I'm trying to debug and eventually upgrade. The issues I'm
encountering here are not likely being caused by Cake versioning.

Unless I've missed something, the online documentation doesn't mention
anything about common incompatibilities or volitilities with these
Helpers. So I'm completely dumbfounded as to why these functions are
not working on my system.

I'm not sure if my assumptions of the HttpRequests being at fault are
correct or not, though any clues someone could give me would be MUCH
appreciated.

I've been reading Beginning Cakephp and Practical Cakephp Projects,
both printed by Apress. Both books use version 1.2 and so far in all
the tutorials I can't get the Javascript or Ajax functions to work.

It seems there're problems with the HttpRequests, but I'm sure it's
not the code as I've copied it straight from the books.

Are there any issues that are likely the root of the problem here?
Perhaps PHP 5.3.5 is not compatible with the Prototype library?

Plugin Views Not Showing

I'm studying Cake 1.2 using the Beginning Cakephp from Novice to
Professional book by Apress.

In chapter 13 they walk you through how to build a custom plugin. My
code and DB are identical to the book, as is the file structure:

Blog/
  App/
Plugins/
calendar_app_controller.php
calendar_app_model.php
Models/
calendar_event.php
Views/
Elements/
   calendar.ctp
Events/
   add.ctp
   edit.ctp
   index.ctp
Helpers/
   calendar.php
Controllers/
events_controller.php

But for some reason my pages aren't showing. It appears the
application is finding the correct actions because I'm not getting an
error. All I get is a blank screen.

Reasons for AJAX helper Deprecation

2011-04-10 Thread brandon buster
I'm new to Cake, having just gotten into it because I have a
commercial site built 3 years ago using Cake1.2.

I've been reading up on some older material that pertains to the
version my site was built in and I'd like to update versions in the
near future.

One thing I'd like to know is why were the AJAX and Javascript helpers
deprecated?

They seem useful, but in following tutorials for their implementation
it seems their behavior is a bit erratic. Is this one of the reasons?

1.2 Console Question

2007-09-28 Thread Brandon

I want to call a controller action via the command line using the Cake
console.
I can call (this is a linux box)
bash-2.03# ./cake -app ../../atm_dev
and it returns the various paths that are set as well as the available
shells:
extract
api
acl
console
bake

Unfortunately, in playing with these shells, I don't believe any of
them will run a controller action.  I've done a fair amount of
searching and can find nothing about this, but I believe it's a
feature of the console.  Could you someone point me in the right
direction?

Thanks!

RE: More Cake Magic in the future?

2007-01-08 Thread Brandon Olivares


Hi,

Agreed about helpers. Regarding being as easy as possible, well one of its
major goals at least is rapid and easy development, while still making the
framework itself flexible. At least that's how I see it.

Either way, I'd be disappointed if it were changed to not do these certain
things automatically. Of course it should always keep the flexibility in
case the developer wants to do something differently, but usually the
default is sufficient.

1) there is no "defaults" for using helpers, you can use them or not.

2) "as easy as possible" is a very unbalanced statement.  cakes goals
are more complicated then that.  Cakes goal is getting a good
compromise between RAD, speed, security, development effort,...  And
even when i say it like this it probably isn't entirely correct.

Subject: More Cake Magic in the future?


Hiya
Just a philosophical question:  Our group is wondering if Cake's
long-term philosophy is to have the tool perform as much "magic" as
possible?

In other words, right now Cake does a fair bit "automatically" behind
the scenes based on model data, table keys, file names, etc.

It appears that this is increasing with 1.2 ..

For example, it looks like the FormHelper class is making several
assumptions about desired html control type in the absence of explicit
parameters from the caller. The code shows it is checking the model
field type and deducing a control type and/or is checking to see if the
field type is a primary key and making some decisions based on that as
well (generating hidden fields and so on)  Also, the generation of a
form tag is making a fair number of assumptions on the programmers
behalf too.

I think we are getting a bit nervous that Cake might be getting close
to doing too much "automagically".

There comes a point when a framework is doing so much to "help you"
that it actually feels like the evnironment is full of side-effects,
gotcha's, and booby-traps instead of being helpful.

I think we would prefer that Cake do most things only when specifically
told to do so, not as a "default", and would make as few assumptions as
possible based on field names, types, primary key names, etc.

I remember back when MFC was all the rage - it seemed great that the
framework embodied/controlled the process of opening and closing files,
reading and writing formatted data, handling multiple windows, etc, and
that you just had to understand this process and know where/how to
insert your code into the right spots.

After a while we all fell very much out of love with this because the
framework was no longer a "silent partner" that could help when you
asked it to,  but instead an entity that exerted a lot of influence
over your application and if you didn't remember/know how to take all
this into account you could not even get a simple application to work
as expected in a reasonable amount of time.

Each new project had to start again with a refresher of all the things
one must remember/consider about the framework's
expectations/assumptions about how an application should work and all
the things it did "automatically" for you.  We actually found that for
small applications, more time was spent on getting our interactions
with the framework correct than we did on writing our application and
solving the business problem.

We are a bit nervous that Cake might be heading down this same path...

Any thoughts on this?

Michael

RE: several "$content_for_layout"?

2007-01-03 Thread Brandon Olivares


Hi,

I think you're looking for elements. You can render elements within your
layout, such as a menu, search, etc. Your $content-for_layout is the content
that is to go within the layout for the page. That variable will be set to
the content of the view that was rendered.

Only make new layouts when, well, you want new layouts.

Controllers are used for the various, section sof a site so to speak. For
instance, there might be an ArticlesController that has actions (methods)
such as index, view, add, edit, delete, search, etc.

Hi,

This sounds along the lines of what I was planning to do. Except that I
didn't want to modify the core code, since I'd have to do the same on every

So I decided just to make my own implementation, that heavily borrow's from

Sounds useful, though.

RE: Suggestion about bake

2006-12-28 Thread Brandon Olivares


But urlencode should take care of those special characters. According ot the
PHP manual for urlencode():

"Returns a string in which all non-alphanumeric characters except -_. have
been replaced with a percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits and spaces
encoded as plus (+) signs. It is encoded the same way that the posted data
from a WWW form is encoded, that is the same way as in
application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type."

So it's the same way as data is transferred in an HTTP post, which surely
must support special characters (encoded of course).

Anyway I don't want to debate the proper way of going about it; I just think
it'd be useful as an option.

Of course I can make the change locally, well...if I can figure out heads
from tails of the script, lol, but I was suggesting it because I think it'd
be a useful addition.

I'm not familiar with the code base at all, so I probably won't even begin
to try to make such a change in my copy. :)

You can just urlencode the names. I didn't say it should be the default

method, just that it should be an option. A lot of people seem to prefer
doing it this way for many reasons, including SEO, not to mention it can
make the URL easier to read.




Works :) but just in blinded mode and for english speaking users.
Counting that usernames can only consist of "url safe" characters :)
because every other language almost certainly will have some kind of
spechial character in it.

But you can make your change in your local copy of cake for that so the
bakeing script would bake it this way.

So for example, a link to view the information for user devbanana might look
like /users/view/devbanana instead of /users/view/1.


think about all the special chars that users are using while submiting
data and think about what conversions you might need to make to allow
everything works smoothly :) for example some baltic chars that are not
allowed in URL -s:and think how many charsets there are
with different chars and possibilities. So it's pretty "simple" to
achive while there-s no unicode support in URL -s and DNS


afcourse you can urlencode almost anything but that makes it even
harder for the users to type in the url.

Hi,



Not sure if this is the best place to put this suggestion, but here it is
anyway.



In the bake script, I think it'd be useful to allow the option to use the
display field instead of the ID for referring to records, such as in the
URLs for viewing, editing, and deleting, and in some of the flash messages.
It's an easy thing to do, but if someone prefers using this method over the
currently conventional method, it's tedious to change it in every controller
and view.



So for example, a link to view the information for user devbanana might look
like /users/view/devbanana instead of /users/view/1.



I just think this should be an option in bake.



Brandon

Hi,

I did call it without the trailing slash.

Will ther be a less buggy version soon? I was looking forward to being able
to use TDD in my cake apps.

Thanks,
Brandon

Well, the test suite is a bit buggy, you have to call it with
http://localhost/projects/blog/tests (notice the missing slash).

RE: Joining 2 tables - better practice?

2006-12-17 Thread Brandon Olivares

Why not a hasMany association for holidays to products, and a belongsTo
association for the other way? I don't see why this wouldn't work?

Subject: Joining 2 tables - better practice?


I have two tables that I would like to connect together:

1. products - all the products for sale
2. holidays - each holiday that a product *could* fall under. ex)
Christmas, Easter, etc..

A brief look at each table looks like this:

products table
---
id
product_name
...
holiday_id

holidays table

id
holiday_name



The relations for these two tables is: one product can only have one
holiday, where as one holiday can have multiple products.

I tried to figure out the associations with CakePHP, but I cannot seem
to get the grasp of it.  However, when I started to do a little more
research I noticed that if I use the variable $useTable in my Holiday
Model; I can force the model to use the products table instead of the
holidays table.

My question is, should I be doing this?
I would prefer to learn the more practical way of accomplishing.

Thanks for any suggestions.

RE: CakePHP with IE7

2006-12-17 Thread Brandon Olivares

Why are you saying your site would not work for IE7? If it doesn't work for
IE7, that's your own fault and up to you to fix. Nothing in the framework
itself keeps it from working with IE7, as has been pointed out many times
already in this discussion. It is a PHP framework, which has absolutely no
effect on browser compatibility.

I was afraid this would turn into one of those microsoft are evil
threads that the open source community are famous for. The bottom line
is, people use ie7 today, i want my site to work for them today and not
give them some lame excuse that its microsofts fault or whatever. I
realize it is an open source project and people are supposedly expected
to fix it however they want but another simple fact is that heaps of
non programmers use open source software and are unable to make fixes.
I guess cake aint for me or the open source movement for that matter..

Leverage Cake For File Downloads

2006-09-06 Thread Brandon

Sorry for the lame subject, I'm not sure how to title what I would like
to do.

I have a series of audio files saved on my web server.  Information
about the audio files are contained in a database (artist, title, date,
etc).  The audio files are named after the primary key, thus ensuring
uniqueness of name (i.e. 1.mp3, 2.mp3, 3.mp3...).  When someone
downloads the audio file, instead of seeing 1.mp3 for instance, I'd
like to be able to create the filename that they see based upon the
information for that file in the table.  Is there a way that I can use
Cake to perform this renaming?  For instance, if a user goes to
/audio/download/1, their download dialogue will read something like
artist-title.mp3.

Thanks to you all!

Re: Associating two models multiple ways

2006-07-28 Thread Brandon

Sorry for the late response, I've been gone for a few days...

This is working correctly now, I gave up on trying to use hasOne and
instead used belongsTo.  Although I would have preferred using hasOne,
it really doesn't matter.  (It just sounds better to say a menu has one
main page than to say a menu belongs to one main page.)

Here is the code snippet for the relationship.

// the relationship between a menu and its
// main page (which is stored in the pages table)
  public $belongsTo = array(
'Page' =>
array(
  'foreignKey' => 'main'
  )
);

Associating two models multiple ways

2006-07-25 Thread Brandon

Hey guys,

I'm currently working on converting one of my websites to Cake...and
I'm loving it.  I've run into one issue that is probably my fault for
misunderstanding association declarations.

My site has pages (duh!) and each page belongs to a menu.  In my menu
model, I declare one page as the main page for that menu.  That is the
page that a user will be taken to if they click on the menu header
rather then the pages beneath it.

While the page to menu association was very simple to implement.  I had
to use the associations wiki
(http://wiki.cakephp.org/docs:understanding_associations) for the menu
to main page association.  Unfortunately, it is still not working.

I created a field in the menus table named main that contains the id of
the page that the menu will use as its main page.

Using the belongsTo example of the wiki page, I came up with the below
model structure:

class Menu extends AppModel
{
  public $displayField = 'title';

  // the relationship between a menu and its
  // main page (which is stored in the pages table)
  public $hasOne = array(
'menu' =>
array(
  'classname' => 'page',
  'foreignKey' => 'main'
  )
);

  // a menu could have many pages beneath it
  public $hasMany = 'page';

  public $validate = array(
  'title' => '/[a-z]{3,}$/i',
  'order' => VALID_NUMBER,
  'main' => VALID_NUMBER
   );
}

The problem I've run into is that the comments for the hasOne example
in the wiki code appear to be a copy and paste from the belongsTo
example.

Thanks in advance!

n00b with ACM questions

2006-06-14 Thread Brandon

Hey All,

I've been using PHP for about the last 1.5 years and discovered Cake
last week.  I installed it, liked it, and am working to convert a
current site (that includes a homegrown admin area) to Cake.  It is
currently not using any framework.

Anywho...I have installed ACM and played with it just a little.  I did
some searching through the group, read anything I could find on it, but
still don't quite understand how it all works.

Right now, I have a table that contains people.  I have another table
called users that contains login, password, permissions and a foreign
key to the people table.  That way, only information pertinent to that
person's application settings is stored in the users table.  Everything
else about that person is stored in the people table.

I have no problem scrapping the above system if necessary.  I'd just
like to see more explanation of how ACM fits with everything else.
I've got it installed and can access the portion where I setup users
and groups.  However, the current users don't show up on the "Users or
Groups" page of ACM even though I set up the users and roles settings
in config.php.  It does see my controllers and when I add new groups, I
can setup their permissions for each controller.  I just can't add any
of my users to my groups because the users don't show up anywhere in
ACM.

By the way, you Cake guys have done a very nice job.  Ryan, ACM looks
good too.  More documentation would be nice, and I know you guys are
working on it.  I'd be willing to give some time to this project, but I
have much learning to do before I'll be helpful.

Re: Simple HABTM Question

2006-04-25 Thread Brandon Pearce
I get a very strange result when I do that. I did have to singularize the Model names as well: $result = $this->Contractor->Service->findByID($service_id);The query that's run is this:SELECT `Service`.`id`, `Service`.`service_name`
FROM `services` AS `Service` WHERE
(`Service`.`i_d` = 2) LIMIT 1Why is the 'id' split up like 'i_d'?
