Re: Proposal for "killer app"

2007-03-28 Thread Felix St. Bernard

I think the point he was originally trying to make was that developing a 
"killer-app" will garner more interest in CakePHP. Using Wordpress again 
as an example, the first time I used it I was impressed. But me being a 
developer wasn't interested in it in much the same way that most end 
users would be. I wasn't inspired to go create my own blog (I'm too lazy 
to keep it up-to-date anyway). One of the first things I did was to see 
how it was engineered. And I'm pretty sure that a lot of you have done 
the same thing with Wordpress or other "inspiring" applications. Imagine 
that you'd never heard about CakePHP nor Wordpress. Even as a developer 
which one do you think would have come to your attention first? 
Wordpress I presume! Then in seeing Wordpress' entrails you would 
discover the tasty morsel that is CakePHP. I agree with the original 
poster in that a "Killer-app" would generate more interest in CakePHP.

However, I don't see why CakePHP's core developers should  be part of 
such a project. In fact I'd rather have them locked up in an isolated 
tech haven working solely on CakePHP. I'd have grossly sex-starved 
models "feeding" them at predefined intervals to keep their strength up 
and violent S&M practitioners to punish them if they digress from the 
work at hand. Ok maybe I'm taking this

Anyway, that's my 3 cents

Fat chance :-) . If you noticed my email domain name... I'm in Cuba 
baby! Needless to say the state owned companies here don't really like 
us foreigners in their "business". And it's sad. Someone sent me a 
private email suggesting a tracking and management system for 
manufacturing processes. And there are so many likely candidate 
companies here that would find this useful but as I said... seems like 
they're allergic to outsiders when it comes to that. Keep the ideas 
coming though. I'm seeing the light Any data mining suggestions anyone?

Thesis ideas

2007-03-02 Thread Felix St. Bernard

I don't know how you guys feel about me asking this on this group but 
I'm at a loss. I'm looking for an undergrad thesis idea. I was wondering 
if anyone had any ideas. I ask here because my interests include web 
programming, php (and cakephp). I major in Informatica which in English 
may be more like Software and Information engineering. I also have a 
vested interest in business sciences(Business admin, accounting, 
business economics etc). Anyway I think I've said enough. Any suggestions?

By the way, those of you who gripe because this is off topic, please 
know that I understand your gripe and don't need to be reminded. If you 
have suggestions for websites/resources that help with these sorts of 
decisions I would appreciate that more than someone's rants about things 
they can't really control.

Thank you all in advance.

That was enough said Don't you think? I understand how queries like 
his may "upset" you but keep your frustrations to yourself. You could 
have also just made reference to the recent post "CakePHP IRC and 
GoogleGroup Etiquette Suggestions" which may help this newby not repeat 
what he just did. And that would be a whole lot less rude on your part. 
If you can't do that then save yourself some typing time and just not 
reply. Everyone has to start somewhere. Have a nice day.

Re: belongsTo Association

2007-02-16 Thread Felix St. Bernard

Thanks for your response but after posting I was too impatient and 
jumped unto the irc channel. I'm posting the solution here to help the 
newbies like myself who might not readily take advantage of debug options.

The real problem was my foreign key names. for example I had 
"Locations_id". What I've found out is that it should have been 
"Location_id". Singular not plural. The documentation hints at it but 
doesn't say so explicitly. When you look at cake's logic it even makes 
more sense. I only realized that after someone told me to turn my cake 
debug level up a notch. Then I saw the erroneous sql statements that 
were being sent.

Apart from the documentation needing some more comprehensive coverage 
I've found the cake community very helpful. And newbies like myself 
should use them and other sources like tutorials. And use debug. The 
only problem left was that I couldn't find a way to "insert the $25" the 
guy who helped me asked for. heh

belongsTo Association

2007-02-16 Thread Felix St. Bernard

I'm a little confused here

I have 2 tables "Taxes" and "Locations"

Table Tax has a foreign key called 'locations_id' and in it's model I've 
defined a belongsTo association "var $belongsTo = 'Location';" I'm using 
scaffolding for the time being to get my relations in order. However 
this association shows no indication that it's working. What other 
association would I need to define? Would I need to define a Location 
hasOne Tax?.

Re: What editor do you use for CakePHP?

2007-02-15 Thread Felix St. Bernard

How come more of you don't use zend? I find it pretty stable with 
everything that you guys even mention that you're waiting on in other 
software. I liked Komodo but found it pretty slow. I never found the 
time to put my hands around eclipse though it looks very interesting as 
an open source alternative.
