Hi Felix,

Appreciate you doing this, I took like to read off line...

But it seems you have to jump through hoops to get it via Scribd !

Any chance of having it available some other way ?

cheers Dave

Re: Question on 1.3 alpha

2009-12-17 Thread Dave Porter
Thanks Walther,

OK, I've done this a few times now via github, but when I un-zip the
files I scan them all the files are date stamped the 8th of
September !

Am I missing something ?
Cheers Dave

Question on 1.3 alpha

2009-12-15 Thread Dave Porter
Hi Everyone,

I just wondered how stable 1.3 alpha is ?

I noticed that this site:  http://mark-story.com/   has a blog entry
about upgrading, so I guess it must be a fair bit further on that many
alpha releases.

I guess I was just a bit apprehensive as a lot of Alpha releases are
very early and often buggy and not suitable for production, so I'd
appreciate some feedback from folk who have been playing it with it ?

cheers Dave Porter

Is validation clumsy and over complicated ?

2008-10-10 Thread Dave Porter

Hi Everyone,

I'm just doing some evaluation of Cake & finding the validation code
very complex compared to the way it is done in RoR ( as one example ).
( e.g. validates_presence_of :title, :description, :image_url )

It would probably be much better if the 'cake bake' facility allowed
multiple validations to be entered, but it only seems to allow one
validation per model.  Plus the cake bake does not seem to have
'required'=>true as an option.  Which I would have thought to be an
obvious option in the list!

Welcome comments ?

regards, Dave P

Re: $this->

2008-10-05 Thread Dave Porter

I too have battled with this, so went hunting

I found this explanation that I think is fairly clear!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  $this explanation
The $this pseudo-variable provides a mechanism for objects to refer to
their own properties and methods. Outside of an object, there is a
handle you can use to access its elements.
Inside an object, there is no such handle, so you must fall back on
$this. If you find $this confusing, try replacing it in your mind with
the current instance when you encounter it in code.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  End

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  -> explanation
You can access public object properties using the object operator '-
>'. So $en->type means the $type property of the Dictionary object
referenced by $en. If you can access a property, it means that you can
set and get its value.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< End

Help getting started...

2008-01-20 Thread Dave Porter

Hi everyone,

I have Apache installed on my machine ( WinXP Pro SP2 ) & have a
number of other php based projects running fine.

The test page works, but clearly the .css file is not being found.

I have tested a phpinfo.php file in the root directory and the /app/
views/users/ directory for a tutorial I am working on, and it works
fine in both locations.

I made a cosmetic change to cake.generic.css, but the change is not
being picked up !

css is attempting to find it here:


My default htdocs folder is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs

and my folder within this is 'cake11'.

Hope someone can help.

regards, Dave Porter

bake ?

2008-01-19 Thread Dave Porter

HI All,

Just checking out Cake - looks interesting - I'm fairly familiar with
Ruby on Rails and just wondering where the generators are ?

I've seen mention of bake.php and/or bake2.php, but they don't appear
to be in the download and I can find little definitive info ?

Could some one enlighten me please ?

regards, Dave Porter
