Route wildcards
In the system that I am putting together, I would like to be able to drop plugins into the system and they just work. If I use scaffolding, this works. I would like to, however, allow the use of URLs created by the administrator of the system, such as: /aboutus /aboutus/contacts /community /community/events / This works if I add a route to /* and then parse out the url in the function that the route points to. Now comes the tricky part. I can't seem to get these to work together. If I drop in a plugin named, for example, 'priviledges', the system uses the /* route and everything looks like it should go to a page that has been soft-coded with 'privileges', not the privileges plugin. Is there a way that I can dynamically generate the routes.php file? Or is there something else I could try?

Using one set of controllers/models for multiple sites
Is there a way to use one set of controllers and models for multiple sites? This would effectively create an ASP (Application Service Provider) model.

Creating Dynamic Model Associations
In my latest project, I am trying to make particular Models/Controllers
inherit from other Models/Controllers that I create. For example:
Items
-- Article
-- News
-- Event
In particular, I am trying to figure out the model association, so that
I can plug in a new Model and Controller and it all works magically.
My current Items Model is:
?php
class Item extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Item';
var $hasMany = array(
'Event' =
array('className' = 'Event',
'conditions'= '',
'order' = '',
'limit' = '',
'foreignKey'= 'item_id',
'dependent' = true,
'exclusive' = false,
'finderQuery' = ''
)
);
}
?
I don't want to have to go in and edit the Items model every time I get
a new model that inherits from Item.
I know you can, on the fly, do new associations (or is this v1.2?) but
they only work for the next query. Is this correct?
Thanks for your help.

How to do dynamic includes of controllers
I am trying to put together a CMS that would allow you to create an
infinite number of pages and add an infinite number of sections (which
are controllers) to that page.
So far, I have a page controller that accepts all URLs that do not
specifically have a route defined: mysite.com/about goes to the pages
controller and looks up the page 'about' and finds all the sections for
that page. The 'about' page might have a 'news' section and a
'content' section. In turn, the 'news' section does a requestAction of
'/news/show', then it does a similar requestAction for the 'content'
section.
The code looks like this:
foreach ($pageSections as $pageSection) {
if ($pageSection['Section']['section_type_id']!='0') {
$requestAction = '/'.
strtolower($pageSection['SectionType']['title']).
'/show';
$pageContent .= $this-requestAction($requestAction,
array('return'
,'pageSection'=$pageSection
,'permissions'=$this-permissions
)
);
}
}
My question is: Does this seem like the best way to do this sort of
thing? Is there another way to do it because it seems kind of abstract
and might break easily with an update to the Cake core files.
If this is unclear, please let me know.

Extending controllers
I have an CMS application that has multiple 'modules' that can be used on each 'page'. These 'modules' seem to naturally extend each other. A sample hierarchy of modules is below: Item -- Article -- Content -- Announcement -- Event -- File -- Document -- Image -- Audio So, in my item controller, I can define common things, like 'title'. Then the article controller extends 'item' by adding 'title' and 'body'. Then the event controller extends 'article' by adding 'start_date', 'end_date', 'location', etc. Just because of OO design, each extended controller takes longer to process because of having to go up the chain. I don't know how much overhead this really is, though. It seems to work fairly well: I only have to change things in one place. I'm wondering though, is there a way to get the parent's views such that I only have to have a view in one place, such as 'article' instead of duplicating views for content, announcement and event? Is there a more defined way to do what I am attempting? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Saving Associated Data that is an Array
I have a report form that has a list of people who attended an event. When I try to save the attendees, the first one is added to the db, the rest attempt to update with the id of the event. here is an idea of the data: $this-data['event']=array( 'title'='title of event', 'date'='12/12/2006', 'attendees'=array( [0]=array( 'name'='sara lemming', 'title'='queen bee' ), [1]=array( 'name'='joe schmoe', 'title'='worker bee' ) ) ) Before I save, I copy the attendees array to another variable ($attendees) and then unset the 'attendees' element from the data array. The data array then saves ok. Then I do a 'foreach' on the $attendees array and save each to the proper model. The first one is inserted into the db. Then there is a 'select count' sql that is looking for the id of insert of the data array. Then the rest of the $attendees try to update based on that id.

No Database table for model
I just installed Cake v1 thinking that some of the bugs that I had seen earlier might be fixed. I am pleased to say most of them are. I am working with an Oracle database and tried using adodb-oci8. It seems to connect ok (when I change the connection string I get a connection error, so I'm thinking it is connecting ok). But I get a 'No Database table for model' error message. I know the table is there. Is there a way to check the db connection? Can I do any raw sql to try to gather some information about what might be causing this? I tried creating a tests_controller with '$uses=null;' statement so I could try to access the db directly, but I get a notice: 'Notice: Undefined property: TestsController::$Test in ...cake\libs\controller\scaffold.php on line 431'.

Using a querystring results in 'Requested address could not be found error'
I am creating a login function and I am passing the url of the page
they were trying to access as well as other information in the
querystring using a $this-redirect in another function.
The url looks like this:
http://cake.localhost/users/login/?url=post.addaccountID=1234
When I put that in the address bar, I get the error that the requested
address could not be found. I have setup the route:
$Route-connect ('/login/*', array('controller'='users',
'action'='login'));
Is this the correct way of setting it up? In the manual at
http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/7 , it states `For example, if the
URL /posts/view/?var1=3var2=4 was called, $this-params['pass'] would
equal ?var1=3var2=4.`

Re: HABTM doesn't seem to be working
I can't find cakebin on the newly designed site. After I posted the code, I realized I should have said that I was working on a new dbo for Oracle. I have made modifications to the dbo_source and datasource files, which might be the problem. I am doing this because you can't get the table name from oracle like you can in MySQL. I have already committed to a project using Cake and need to make it work. When a table has other tables associated with it, does Cake parse through all the tables to find all the fields of the current table and the associations? Could that be the reason that all the tables are not showing up? I would like to find a cleaner way to do all this, but the only way I could find so far is to do something like this: In the dbo_source file, fields function, around line 1050 I have modified the code from: $fields[$i] = $this-name($alias) . '.' . $this-name($fields[$i]) . ' AS ' . $this-name($fields[$i]); to $fields[$i] = strtoupper($this-name($alias) . '.' . $this-name($fields[$i]) . ' AS ' . $this-name($alias) . '_#_' . $this-name($fields[$i])); Which in effect prepends the table alias name to the field name and concatonates them with '_#_'. I can then use that to re-generate the table name in the dbo_oracle.php file. Does it all make more sense now? Am I on the right track? Can you point me in another, less intrusive way to do this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Using Oracle with Cake
There were some things with my dbo_oracle that were causing problems: * PHP OCI functions do not return the table, so everything was being put into the [0] array, which caused problems if the column name from different tables were used. * The base dbo_source.php file was aliasing tables with the keyword AS, which Oracle doesn't seem to like. It works ok without the 'AS' keyword. * There is no 'insert_id' function for Oracle like there is for MySQL. We are using a sequence table. I think this is standard for Oracle, so I need to figure out a way to get the lastInsertID working properly. * I'm sure that there will be other things that crop up. I am trying to get this all working, but I am having to delve into the dbo_source.php and datasource.php files, so it's not going to be pretty. I can't seem to get adodb-oci8 to work and I'm not sure about a PEAR driver.
