[RESOLVED] Re: Problem running shell task with DB access on HostGator
Fixed it with a some help from cakebaker at
http://cakebaker.42dh.com/2007/05/07/writing-a-custom-cakephp-console-script/comment-page-1/#comment-156432
The suggestion was to remove the $uses statement and replace with
App:import and then a ClassRegistry in the function.
This change, plus re-reading the instructions from
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/updated-swiftmailer-4-xx-component-with-attachments-and-plugins
on where to put the shell script and task, enabled the shell script to
work from SSH as well as in cron. (Turns out you really do need to put
the shell task in /app/vendors/shell. For some reason I had it in /
vendors/shell.)
The final SSH and cron command looks like this for HostGator:
php /home/USER NAME/public_html/cake/console/cake.php -app /home/USER
NAME/public_html/app reminders lof
I hope that this helps someone else in the future. Shell scripts and
tasks are really cool.

Problem running shell task with DB access on HostGator
I was successfully able to create a shell with a task that contains DB access and get it to run on DreamHost in either SSH or cron. However, our project lead chose to host the site on HostGator. As you know, each hosting service differs ever so slightly in their implementation. At this point I can run my test shell that has no DB access perfectly on HostGator. The syntax for it is much different than DreamHost. Here is the command: php /home/USER NAME/public_html/cake/console/cake.php -app /home/USER NAME/public_html/cake/app test main The output is as expected: Welcome to CakePHP v1.2.1.8004 Console --- App : app Path: /home/USER NAME/public_html/cake/app --- Please specify which reminder task to run; LOF or Other. Now, when I try to use a shell with a task that has a $uses statement I get an error like this: php /home/USER NAME/public_html/cake/console/cake.php -app /home/USER NAME/public_html/cake/app reminders main Error: Missing Database Connection. Try 'cake bake' The shell with the function I am trying to execute looks like this: The shell is the same as the test shell except with $components, $tasks, and $uses statements. This works fine on DreamHost that has a CLI of PHP4. To make it work I did need to change the cake console file to force PHP5 use, as per this article http://www.milesj.me/blog/read/83/Setting-Up-Cron-Jobs-With-Cake-Shells and DreamHost support. Can anyone spot what is the difference with HostGator so that my shell with a DB reference does not execute in either SSH or cron? Do you think I need to change the cake console file? It appears that HostGator is running PHP5, but I am not sure about the CLI. Thank you in advance for your help.

[SOLVED] Re: How to debug my save command
Solved it.
First, looking more deeply at the cook book on the save() command I
noticed an element for 'callbacks' which defaults to 'true' but can
also accept 'false'. So I coded up this for a save() with only the
field I wanted to update:
$this->Repairorder->save($data,
array(
'validate' => true,
'fieldList' => array(
'lof_act_60',
'lof_act_75',
'lof_act_90',
'lof'
),
'callbacks' => false
)
);
Lo and behold, none of my debug log entries fired in the beforeSave
callback method! Yeah!
So always remember that the beforeSave is useful, but can be 'hidden'
if you don't remember about it. Plus, remember you can turn off the
callback in the save() if you really want to.
I hope this helps someone else.

Re: How to debug my save command
I saw something in another post that made me stop and think. I have a
'beforeSave' callback in my model that sets the 'actual' dates to null
on create or edit from a form.
Of course, the 'beforeSave' was being executed before my updates. I
commented out the 'beforeSave' just to verify. So now this code is
working fine:
$this->Repairorder->id = $data['Repairorder']['id'];
$this->Repairorder->saveField('lof_act_60', $data['Repairorder']
['lof_act_60']);
$this->Repairorder->saveField('lof_act_75', $data['Repairorder']
['lof_act_75']);
$this->Repairorder->saveField('lof_act_90', $data['Repairorder']
['lof_act_90']);
Now the question becomes, are there any ideas on how to selectively
execute the 'beforeSave' callback in the model?
Thank you for your help!

How to debug my save command
I've been reading the manual and looking for examples, but I am still
having difficulty with issuing a save to update only three fields that
I have updated.
I have a foreach loop to read $data for records that have been
previously selected based on the 'scheduled' date for the reminder. I
am doing setup of some variables from $data values in order to send an
e-mail reminder for the next service interval. (Background: when a
repair order is created or updated, the scheduled dates for the e-mail
reminders are set and the 'actual' date is set to null.) After sending
the e-mail I want to update the 'actual' field as proof that an e-mail
was sent.
Here is the code I have been working with in my controller:
// Loop through eligible repair orders, send reminder, and update
actual date
foreach ( $data as $data ) {
$to = $data['Repairorder']['customer_email'];
$vin = $data['Repairorder']['vin'];
$services = $data['Repairorder']['lof'] . ' lubrication service';
switch($data['Repairorder']['odometer_type']) {
case 'Kms':
$interval = 5000;
break;
case 'Miles':
$interval = 3000;
break;
}
$new_odometer = $data['Repairorder']['odometer'] + $interval;
$odometer_type = $data['Repairorder']['odometer_type'];
// Send e-mail reminder message
// $id = $this->sendMail(
// $data['Repairorder']['id'],
// $to,
// $vin,
// $services,
// $new_odometer,
// $interval,
// $odometer_type);
// Update 'actual' date field(s)
if ($data['Repairorder']['lof_sch_60'] <= date('Y-m-d'))
$data['Repairorder']['lof_act_60'] = date('Y-m-d');
if ($data['Repairorder']['lof_sch_75'] <= date('Y-m-d'))
$data['Repairorder']['lof_act_75'] = date('Y-m-d');
if ($data['Repairorder']['lof_sch_90'] <= date('Y-m-d'))
$data['Repairorder']['lof_act_90'] = date('Y-m-d');
$this->Repairorder->id = $data['Repairorder']['id'];
$this->Repairorder->save($data);
// array('fieldlist' => array(
//
'lof_act_60',
//
'lof_act_75',
//
'lof_act_90'
// )));
/* Debug information to the error.log file in ../app/tmp/ */
$this->log(array(
'record' => $data['Repairorder']['id'],
'lof_sch_60' => $data['Repairorder']['lof_sch_60'],
'lof_act_60' => $data['Repairorder']['lof_act_60'],
'lof_sch_75' => $data['Repairorder']['lof_sch_75'],
'lof_act_75' => $data['Repairorder']['lof_act_75'],
'lof_sch_90' => $data['Repairorder']['lof_sch_90'],
'lof_act_90' => $data['Repairorder']['lof_act_90']
));
} // end_foreach on $data results
The log entry for each record has the correct value set for the
'actual' field, but the update to the database is not occurring.
Ultimately I would like to provide an array with the fieldlist of the
three fields I want to update.
In the $data array is ['Repairorder']['id']. That should be enough to
access the individual record, right? I shouldn't have to set that
before a save, but only set it if I was doing a saveField. Is that
understanding correct?
Where is the error(s) in my code for the save to not work? Thank you
in advance for your assistance.

[SOLVED] Re: How to format numbers in an e-mail template
Just had a "Duh" moment... To format the number in the .ctp file, for an e-mail or anything else, you do the following: 1. Add the helper of 'Number' either to the action or the controller itself, 2. Use this syntax as an example: format ($new_odometer);?> I was not putting $number in front in order to access the helper. Hence the "Duh" moment. The CakePHP cookbook shows all the other options for formatting numbers. Maybe this will help some other newbie...

How to format numbers in an e-mail template
I have added the helper 'Number' in to controller actions using the statement $this->helpers[] = 'Number';". My goal is to format two whole numbers with commas in the thousands position when sending an e- mail for a more professional presentation. The .ctp file paragraph (../app/views/elements/email/html/ email_reminder.ctp) containing the replacement variables I want to format looks like this: If so, please return to your Service Department for another before your odometer shows , and we will extend your coverage for another . The replacement field variables $new_odometer and $service_interval are numbers in the database. It seemed according to the CakePHP cookbook (http://book.cakephp.org/view/409/format) that I could use a statement like format($new_odometer);?>. However, that doesn't work at all. Is there a way to format the number in the controller action, perhaps creating a formatted string field, that then could be sent as the replacement element? Thanks in advance!

Re: Export to CSV using Helper, resulting error
I just had a similar problem and post here: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/f9d8203a3acb0e8f#. I solved the issue a few hours ago using this approach: http://www.dnamique.com/cakephp-export-data-to-excel-the-easy-way/. No helper needed. It was done in 15 minutes. I could not believe it. I was even able to access the action in CakePHP from a button on an ExtJS grid. I would highly recommend taking a look at this approach. It is the simplest approach I have found, and a very clear explanation. Hopefully it helps...

Re: Export to CSV... almost there... what am I missing?
Sorry about the tabs. I though I took those out... What is also strange to me is that when core.php has 'debug' >= '1' I get the 404 message. When 'debug' is set to '0', I get the prompt to create a CSV file, but not with the formatted name as defined in the exportrepairorders.ctp file. The file name being generated is exportrepairorders.csv and is empty. Thank you for your help.

Export to CSV... almost there... what am I missing?
I am in the process of adding an "Export to CSV" capability to my
project. I am using the latest version of the csv helper found here:
http://ifunk.net/cakephp/helpers/csv.php.txt. I have this code as ../
app/views/helpers/csv.php. I also have added Router::parseExtensions
('json', 'xml', 'csv'); to my routes.php file.
In my ../app/controllers/repairorders_controller.php I have this
action defined:
function exportrepairorders() {
Configure::write('debug', '0');
$this->layout = 'ajax'; // use the Ajax layout
$data = array();// hold the data from
the database
/* Set up the "conditions" array to retrieve selected Repairorder
data */
$params = array(
'order' => array(
'Repairorder.servicedate DESC',
'Repairorder.distributor_id',
'Repairorder.dealer_id'
)
);
$paramsCount = array();
/* Set up for an export request, if requested */
$exportRequest = ($this->RequestHandler->ext == 'csv' ||
$this->RequestHandler->ext == 'xml' ||
($this->RequestHandler->ext == 'json'
&&
!$this->RequestHandler->isAjax())
);
if ($exportRequest) {
if ($this->RequestHandler->ext == 'csv') {
$this->helpers[] = 'Csv';
}
if ($this->RequestHandler->ext == 'xml') {
// Do nothing, no helper needed
}
}
/* Retrieve count of selected Repairorder and associated data and
then the data */
$count = $this->Repairorder->find('count', $paramsCount);
$this->Repairorder->recursive = 0;
$data = $this->Repairorder->find('all', $params);
// Debugger::dump($data);
$this->set('total', $count);// send total to the view
$this->set('repairorders', $data); // send repairorders to the view
}
I have a corresponding view established in ../app/views/repairorders/
csv/exportrepairorders.ctp which looks like this:
addRow(array($line));
echo $csv->render('Repair Order Export ' . date('Y-m-d h:i') .
'.csv');
return;
}
if (!array_key_exists('results', $data) || !count($data['results']))
{
$csv->addRow('No data found.');
echo $csv->render('Repair Order Export ' . date('Y-m-d h:i') .
'.csv');
return;
}
$csv->addRow(array(
'Distributor Name',
'Dealer Name',
'Advisor Name',
'Date of Service',
'Repair Order Number',
'VIN',
'Year',
'Make',
'Model',

);
foreach ($data['results'] as $result) {

$result['Advisor']['name'],
$result['Repairorder']['servicedate'],
$result['Repairorder']['number'],

Re: Database Design Advice Needed - Multiple Companies having Accounting, Production and CRM components
You have quite an ambitious project. What you are wanting to create is an integrated ERP system. Now you have the individual pieces but want them integrated. Is this system feasible in CakePHP? Absolutely! One database with multiple tables would be fine, IMHO. (Even when developing on a mainframe, in most cases, it is technically one database with thousands of tables...We would segregate the tables into 'libraries' by application but that was mostly for convenience of backup and restore.) However, you have a classic "make or buy" decision. Making a custom ERP system for your companies is not for the faint of heart. You didn't mention your team of developers and analysts. I came across something yesterday that you may want to consider. This article described an individual that is helping companies like yours: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=arPzMR.hhDq0. Follow the links in the articles to products like Open ERP and you may find that using their products will get you an integrated system you desire, and be up and running making a profit sooner than rolling your own. Yes it is possible to do this in CakePHP. There are other business decisions that come into play also. On Oct 30, 6:15 pm, cakephp user wrote: > Good day.

Re: Server has broken links
Michael... I was able to fix my problem. I had one extra layer in my directory structure that was not necessary. Here is a google document I've started to record different shared web hosting sites. http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B_kFlIFfrTc7NjI4YTYzOTAtYWIyZC00Yzk3LTg2MmItNTI5MjJkNGFlMTkz&hl=en I initially was thinking of a different tab for each hosting service, however, it may be best to have a separate document for each hosting service and then tabs within the document for other tips. For instance, with GoDaddy.com I understand there are certain things that need to be done in order to send mail from within Cake. That would be a natural for an additional tab in a document about GoDaddy.com hosting of Cake apps. Do you want to check it out and see if you want to add information about digitalspace.net?

Re: Deployment issue - must be simple but I am missing it
Solved it! I just had to flatten out the production structure. The changes to the .htaccess files were correct, or at least the work! If anyone would like, I have started a Google Docs spreadsheet where people could put their directory structures for various hosting sites. Perhaps seeing an example will be easier than reading a myriad of posts. Anyway, here it is if any would like to contribute. I was think each hosting site could be a separate tab in the spreadsheet, or perhaps it would be best to have separate spreadsheets. See what you think.

Re: Webroot / .htaccess issue
number9,
Kudos on getting your deployment to work! Would you have time, please,
to look at my thread for my deployment issues? It is
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/6e5fa3a941dce149.
Would you mind sharing your directory structure too? I am about to
flatten my production installation and try starting again. So I could
use your valuable insight.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Server has broken links
Same exact thing happening to me on this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/6e5fa3a941dce149.
Debug is set to '2'. In my case it is not Cake that is generating the
404, it is goDaddy.com the shared hosting server. Nothing in the Cake
logs. In the goDaddy.com logs it only shows the incorrect URL.
A support ticket to goDaddy.com was less than helpful. Since they
don't support CakePHP they said it was my problem. I suggested they
consider supporting Cake to tap into the great developer community,
instead of getting bad press. They replied with basically, 'So what.'
[sigh]
I will need to experiment some more today. It seems that a lot of
traffic on this group has to do with basically the same issues when
deploying. The articles on the Cook Book are not helping in all cases.
I made the suggestion on my thread that a central document, perhaps on
the pages portion of this site, be created with suggested deployment
instructions for various shared hosting sites. If scenarios for
directory structures were included that may help.
When I get this working (not if!) I will do what I can to initiate
that. Everyone could then contribute for their shared hosting site and
what is working. Thoughts?

Re: Deployment issue - must be simple but I am missing it
Thanks for the reply. The debug value has always been '2' so that I see the poopy pants on deployment. I actually have made no other changes than the .htaccess files until I was approaching vague awareness from the group. So far I'm still in the dark. I can start over easily enough. I still am wondering if my directory structure is compatible with my deployment. It is quite conceivable to have more than one Cake application for this client. It would seem logical to put Cake at the root level of the shared hosting for the start. Am I understanding that correctly? If I do that would I then follow the instructions from http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/1d2abbf25e150420?hl=en? Thank you!

Re: Deployment issue - must be simple but I am missing it
Thank you for your response. However, I am confused. How is my
directory structure different than the suggested one here:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/34/Production?
This is my first deployment to a production server, so please excuse
my desire to come close to being able to understand what I am doing.
I tried to follow these instructions for the .htaccess files:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/37/Apache-and-mod_rewrite-and-htaccess.
Should the directory structure be like this?
/ [root]
/cake [moved up to root level of shared hosting account]
/reporting
/reporting/.htaccess
/reporting/app
/reporting/app/[plus everything else app related]
/reporting/app/.htaccess
/reporting/app/webroot/.htaccess
/reporting/index.php
/reporting/README
/reporting/vendors
With a structure like this wouldn't I need to change some more of the
Cake values as found in this article:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/35/Advanced-Installation?
Thanks in advance for your help. This is a little bit confusing since
there is conflicting advice in other articles outside of the CookBook.
Maybe someone could create an overview document that lists known
shared hosting servers (like fatCow, 1and1, goDaddy, etc.) and what
experienced developers have found to the optimal structure for
production deployment. That would be a terrific tool for everyone.
Thanks again!

Deployment issue - must be simple but I am missing it
I finally have my project up on a production server. My client is
using goDaddy.com. Following my research here and other places, I
uploaded the project, verified folder write-ability for /tmp and the
subordinates, cleared the /tmp directory contents, and changed the
database.php file (not sure if that part is working yet).
My folder structure looks like this:
/ [root]
/reporting
/reporting/.htaccess
/reporting/app
/reporting/app/[everything else app replated including /tmp and /
webroot]
/reporting/app/.htaccess
/reporting/app/webroot/.htaccess
/reporting/cake
/reporting/index.php
/reporting/README
/reporting/vendors
My site is here http://bgnation.ca/reporting/. The initial page
renders fine (I haven't replaced the lorem ipsum yet... mea culpa...).
However, when I try to log in on the side bar I receive a 404 error
for http://bgnation.ca/users/login. Using a URL to access any other
controller action yields the same result. The 'Home' button on the
navigation bar works however.
I changed the routes.php file to be this, just commenting out a chunk:
'tests'
,'action' => 'index'
)
);
Router::connect('/',
array(
'controller' => 'pages'
,'action' => 'display'
,'/index'
)
);
// Router::connect('/pages/*',
// array(
// 'controller' => 'pages'
// ,'action' => 'display'
// )
// );
?>
The.htaccess file in /webroot/ was changed to add a '/' in front of
the 'index' as per this article about hosting on goDaddy.com:
http://techiedesi.com/post/327-setup-cakephp-modrewrite-to-work-with-godaddy-shared-linux-hosting-package.
So it looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
The.htaccess file in /app was changed to look like this (just added
the 'RewriteBase /' line):
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule^$webroot/[L]
RewriteRule(.*) webroot/$1[L]
In order to have even the first page render, I had to leave
the .htaccess file at the root of my project looking like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule^$ app/webroot/[L]
RewriteRule(.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
All of this works on localhost yet not on the production server. So is
something wrong with my routes.php file? I'm sure it is simple, but I
just don't see it. I have tried to do my research but cannot find
something that works. Would someone help me please? I am DITW (dead in
the water) at this point. Thanks!

Re: ability to users to delete their comment's
If all you want to do is to prevent a user from deleting something
they are authorized to view, but not delete, then that code is all you
need.
If, however, you want to prevent a savvy user, or a curious user, or a
malicious user, from changing the URL and accessing data they are NOT
authorized to even view (let alone edit or delete), then you need a
more robust approach in the beforeFilter.
It just depends on your application and your design goals.

Re: ability to users to delete their comment's
Understood. Simple is good.
Yes... you would put the code in your controller and not the view.
Here is a suggestion that you would need to customize to your own
needs:
/* Execute this code before filtering */
function beforeFilter() {
/* Initialize Auth component first from parent */
parent::beforeFilter();
if (in_array($this->action, array('view')) or
in_array($this->action, array('edit')) or
in_array($this->action, array('delete'))) {
$distributor_id = $this->Distributor->field(
'id', array('user_id' => $this->user['id']));
if(!$this->Dealer->find(
'first',
array(
'conditions' => array(
'distributor_id' => $distributor_id,
'id' => $dealer_id
),
'recursive' => -1
)
)
)
{
$this->Session->setFlash('You are not authorized for that
information.', true);
}
}
Something like that. I am doing the initial find on Distributor to an
array because my results could have one that one distributor that is
authorized to view the requested dealer. Your specifications will
vary.
I'm sure this code can be improved on, but it may get you started in
the right direction.

Re: ability to users to delete their comment's
I believe the article has a portion of code that goes in the
applicable model, or even app_model to be available system wide. Then
other code goes in the applicable controller, not the view.
If you implement this, be sure to follow all the instructions. You
need both the Auth and Security components for the controller, or
system wide, for the way the tutorial is written. I forgot the
Security component at first and it didn't work at all.
There are other options on how to accomplish the same task. It is good
to experiment and see what works best for your application.

Re: ability to users to delete their comment's
There is an interesting article about row-level access here that may
help too:

It may generate some other ideas for you too.

Re: How to convert tinyint(1) back to boolean?
I may not understand completely what you are trying to do. I've kept my boolean elements at tinyint and use something like this with the views for presentation: That give a more pleasing visual appearance than a '1' or '0', yet maintains the database value as boolean. There is something similar that can be done in Javascript for ExtJS grids and forms. Does this help? On Oct 8, 6:36 pm, Xhaphir wrote: > Hi, > > i have a small problem in cakePHP.

Re: Cannot figure out my $conditions array
Nope. The code is real and working. I believe I figured it out about
an hour ago using an example from here:
http://www.pubbs.net/cakephp/200905/101772/
Here is the working code now:
switch($this->user['group_id']) {
case '1':/* Admin shows all */
$conditions = array(); /* Redundant but I like it over and over
*/
break;
case '2':/* Distributor sees their dealer's advisors */
/* Get list of distributors for logged in user */
$distributor_id = $this->Distributor->find(
'list',
array(
'fields' => array('Distributor.id'),
'conditions' => array('user_id' => $this->user
['id'])
)
);
/* Add list of distributors to conditions array */
$conditions = array(
'conditions' => array(
'Advisor.distributor_id' =>
$distributor_id
)
);
break;
case '3':/* Dealer sees only their advisors */
/* Get list of dealers for logged in user */
$dealer_id = $this->Dealer->find(
'list',
array(
'fields' => array('Dealer.id'),
'conditions' => array('user_id' => $this->user
['id'])
)
);
/* Add list of dealers to conditions array */
$conditions = array('conditions' => array('Advisor.dealer_id' =>
$dealer_id));
break;
case '4':/* Logged in advisor sees only records for Auth.User.id
*/
$conditions = array('conditions' => array(
'Advisor.user_id' => $this-
>Auth->user('id')
)
);
break;
}
/* Retrieve count of selected Dealer and associated data and then the
data */
$count = $this->Advisor->find('count', $conditions);
/* Now add the other parameter elements, if needed */
$params = $conditions;
$advisorArray = $this->Advisor->find('all',
$params
);
Turns out I had to separate the array for the list of values for what
would become the "IN" element of the "WHERE" clause from the actual
conditions element. Works like a charm, and makes sense now that it
works.
Maybe this will help someone else too.

Cannot figure out my $conditions array
I am sure this is a simple error, but I am just not seeing it. Would
you help me please?
I am trying to build a $conditions array with results from a find
('list'). I have the following models: Distributor which hasMany
Dealers. Dealers which hasMany Advisors. Advisors which belongsTo
Distributors and belongsTo Dealers. So for my Advisor schema looks
like:
id,
distributor_id,
dealer_id,
user_id,
name,
[etc.]
A Distributor is logged in and has a User.id value of "2". This user
has two Distributor records that they own; Distributor.id value of "1"
and "2". Those distributors have a total of two Advisors records. I
want to gather all the Advisors records for those two Distributors.
Here is my code so far in the advisors_controller.php:
/* Set up the "conditions" array to retrieve selected Advisor data */
$conditions = array();
$distributor_id = array(); // Could be more than one distributor...
$dealer_id = array(); // Could be more than one dealer...
$this->Advisor->recursive = 0; // Advisor and dealer and distributor
data
switch($this->user['group_id']) {
case '1': /* Admin shows all */
$conditions = array(); /* Redundant but I like it over and over */
break;
case '2': /* Distributor sees their dealer's advisors */
$distributor_id = $this->Distributor->find(
'list',
array(
'fields' =>
array('Distributor.id'),
'conditions' =>
array('user_id' => $this->user['id'])
)
);
Debugger::dump($distributor_id);
$conditions = array('Advisor.distributor_id' => array("1",
"2"));
Debugger::dump($conditions);
break;
}
With this code, with the $conditions hard-coded with the values of
"1", and "2", I have this for the Debugger results:
/* The contents of $distributor_id */
array(
"1",
"2"
)
/* The contents fo $conditions */
array(
"Advisor.distributor_id" => array()/* Why is this empty??? */
)
/* JSON object results */
{"total":2, "advisors":[... then the data ...]
I want my $conditions array to dynamically load the contents of the
$distributor_id array. I've been experimenting and cannot find the
proper syntax. I was hoping that a statement like this would work ...
$conditions = array('Advisor.distributor_id' =>
$distributor_id);
... but it doesn't. Would you help me please? I am trying to simulate
the third example from The Cookbook entry
http://book.cakephp.org/view/74/Complex-Find-Conditions.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Re: Best way to accomplish acl for database records owned by a user
I came across this same issue. You can call it "row level access". An
article that pointed me in the right direction was this one:
http://teknoid.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/simplistic-example-of-row-level-access-control-with-auth-security-and-app-model-in-cakephp/.
I took that article and expanded on it. The key for my application was
the design of the database. My application has distributors that own
dealers that then have service advisers. A distributor should be able
to access only his distributor record and the associated dealers and
the associated service advisers. A dealer can access only his dealer
record and his service advisers. Etc., etc.
Distributors and dealers and service advisers are individual group
records. There are users belonging to those groups. Currently I don't
allow a user to be in multiple groups, but I could.
So using the article above I was able to build in internal security
using the group_id as a first cut for access to the record being
requested, and then the user_id as well to make sure it was "their"
record. For the security on associated records this is where having
the 'belongsTo' and 'hasMany' relationships really helped. But the
real key discovery for me was in my dealers_controller.php. I needed
to reach back and get the associated distributor for the dealer record
being requested to compare if it was the same distributor. If not, no
access. I found I could use var $uses = array('Dealers'
'Distributors') to allow me to bring in the distributor (only one
field actually, the 'id') to my security check.
It is some code. I'm sure it could be cleaned up a bit and maybe put
more into the model to have a skinnier controller, but it is working
well and seems to be a flexible approach that does not involve the
complexities of ACL.
Maybe some of this helps.

Re: MAMP + CakePHP issues
Hi Fahd!
I can advise you on the first question, but not the second. I had been
using MAMP but decided to take it off and go with a stock approach. It
took a little bit, but works solidly now. What makes it very easy is
to use a cheap product called VirtualHostX. You can find it at
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25689/virtualhostx. The price
recently went up it appears, but it is so worth it to not be
frustrated while developing multiple sites. VirtualHostX is MAMP-
friendly.
I use it to have a sandbox site where I'm testing code and integration
before moving that code over to the development site. Both can be up
at the same time, obviously with different databases, but it could be
the same one. Hmmm...
Anyway, I am also using a product called ModelBaker from http://widgetpress.com
that also is MAMP-friendly and removes the need to use a command line
when baking. All the database design is visual and the configuration
of Cake is a snap. It is a RAP (rapid application prototype) tool that
does a great job at generating 80% of the Cake code so you can focus
on the 20% that is unique to your application. Plus it can generate an
iPhone-aware web application. That's like getting a two-for-one deal!
Very promising product.
I hope some of this helps.

Re: Checkboxes in index view
If you don't want your index to be editable, yet display something more intelligible than a '1' or '0' for a Boolean field, you can use this: The field 'active' is a Boolean and this is a simple way to show 'Yes' or 'No' on the index view. It is not editable, but much better for reading.

Re: Setting Up CakePHP on MAC with MAMP and Eclipse
Hey Kludge! Try going to www.widgetpress.com and checking out ModelBaker. It is a Mac front-end to CakePHP so that you never have to use the CLI. The product has a graphical representation of the database model you are creating for the project. ModelBaker is not an end-all solution. It is designed to quickly get you up and running with CakePHP code that you then tweak for the unique business logic for your project. It has some limitations as it was just released at MacWorld in January. Overall it promises to be a very strong product for Mac development with CakePHP. There is a demo version available for you to try out. I am not affiliated with WidgetPress at all. I do use ModelBaker because I'm a Mac guy and don't care much for the Terminal and command line interfaces anymore. Been there, did that, haven't done it for 25 years now. Check it out!

Re: Learning cakePHP debugging
I have used DebugKit with great success. Here is the article about it:
http://thechaw.com/debug_kit/wiki
You get a toolbar at the top of the window with access to tons of
stuff. It does not do line by line debugging. I would like to use
FirePHP for adding breakpoints and watching variables, but I have not
have had the time to figure it out yet. There are instructions for it,
I just don't understand them yet.
p.s.: Thanks for sharing your code. I'm doing something similar, but
like your use of elements. I appreciate the example!

Re: admin application
I have had the same requirement, and ACL was "a bit heavy" for me too.
Plus I am too green to understand it.
Check out this tutorial that really helped me:
http://teknoid.wordpress.com/2009/04/22/simplistic-example-of-row-level-access-control-with-auth-security-and-app-model-in-cakephp/
I have applied the techniques in that tutorial, along with some
relationships amongst my tables. My project involves distributors who
own dealerships, the dealers have technicians and services. I want the
admin group members to see all, the distributor group members to see
only their distributor(s) plus only their associated dealers,
technicians, and services.
It takes a little coding in the controller but works very well. I can
post a sample of the code if you like. I'm sure there will be some
constructive criticism of the code, which I need to improve my coding
style with Cake.

Re: Has anyone had success using Ext JS 2.2.2 and a grouping grid?
Thanks for your reply! I am missing the replies to the blog post though. I've experienced a long time lag between posts being approved on the extjs.com/forum lately. I will check again periodicaly. I have changed the datastore over to the GroupingStore, but I am not coding the field name correctly somehow. I need some assistance there. It is good to know the Ext will take care of the rest. That is what I was hoping for. I look forward to converting over to your tool very soon. Looking forward to some tutorials on how to do various Ext functions.

Re: How may I 'trick' $ajax->observeField into firing with linked combo boxes?
I think I solved my problem referenced on this thread. The solution proposed with the array_unshift scrambled the data inside the dropdown. The names were still sorted properly, but the id number with that name got resequenced. Apparently that is what array_unshift does for you, according to the docs. So what I did, and I think it will work for me is I added this code to the .ctp file that creates the dropdown list. Mine is called ajax_dropdown.ctp because that is how it was in the tutorial I have been using. Here is the code: $v) : ?> This successfully adds an element at the beginning of the dropdown list 'Pick me!' (a reference to Donkey in Shrek...) and preserves the elements beneath it. I think I can move on to the next issue now... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Joining two arrays to use in a Select box with the formhelper
Not one to give up easily, if at all... I gave it another try. I
remember reading a post somewhere that an easy way to add an entry to
the beginning of a dropdown list was like this:
echo $form->input(
'county_id',
array(
'options' => array('Please pick a country') + $counties
)
);
So I experimented in the ajax_dropdown.ctp file and did this:
$v) : ?>
Now it works! I can tell the ajax observeField is firing the
ajax_dropdown.ctp because I get "Pick me!" as the first entry and all
the elements in the dropdown are correct in name and in id value.
Whew!
Is there a better way to do this, or just be glad it does and move on?

Re: Joining two arrays to use in a Select box with the formhelper
Thanks Brian! I received both your message on this thread and on the
other one.
Adding the statements below in the controller function had no effect.
function getCounties() {
$this->set('options',
$this->Example->County->find('list',
array(
'conditions' => array(
'County.state_id' => $this->data['Example']['state_id']
),
'group' => array('County.name')
)
)
);
array_unshift($counties, array("none"=>"Pick me please!"));
$this->set(compact('counties'));
$this->render('/examples/ajax_dropdown');
}
I even tried $options instead of $counties and still no effect.
Then I got to thinking about the /examples/ajax_dropdown .ctp file. It
loops through $options and creates the entries for the dropdown. So I
modified it to look like this:
"Pick me!")); ?>
$v) : ?>
Then the first entry was the word 'array'. So I read the www.php.net/manual
for array_unshift and saw an example and tried the following:
$v) : ?>
Now I do get the value of "Pick me!" in the county dropdown after the
state is selected. So the observeField is firing. The counties are in
name order on the dropdown. However, the array_unshift has resequenced
the county_id value associated with a county name.
Apparently that is what array_unshift does. "All numerical array keys
will be modified to start counting from zero while literal keys won't
be touched."
Hopefully I have not done something wrong in my code. Perhaps because
of ajax I am not accessing the $options or $counties array in the
correct spot.
Any good ideas? The sample data and Cake file are available here:
http://forum.phpsitesolutions.com/php-frameworks/cakephp/ajax-cakephp-dynamically-populate-html-select-dropdown-box-t29.html
Thanks!

Re: How may I 'trick' $ajax->observeField into firing with linked combo boxes?
I understand. That is what I would like to do; have the first row be
'Please select...' so that the observeField 'sees' a change in the
field.
I am just not sure how to push an entry into element 0 of an array
that has already been loaded by a find('List'), and thereby pushing
all the other elements down by one.
This was an interesting thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/a342e152400d0d88?hl=en
The suggestion there is to use array_unshift($isps, array
("none"=>"None of the above"));.
I tried that and placed the array_unshift just before the render
statement, but to no avail. Is my code, and or placement, incorrect?
Thank you!

Has anyone had success using Ext JS 2.2.2 and a grouping grid?
I am trying to make my HTML tables look a little prettier using Ext
JS. I would like to take a simple HTML table that lists users and the
corresponding group name and produce a grouping grid in Ext JS.
There is a javascript file named from-html.js in the examples folder
of Ext JS. I have been using that to read the HTML from Cake and
transform it into a pretty simple grid. (Yes... I know having HTML
translated by javascript is not the future. The direction the CakeXT
project is going with JSON objects is better, but the grouping
functionality is not yet included...)
Simple grids work great, except for the pagination part. That will be
a separate post. It may be possible to use the Ext.data.GroupingStore
function, but I am having trouble with the syntax for the 'sortinfo'
and 'grouping'. Here is what I have so far:
var ds = new Ext.data.GroupingStore({// Create data
grouping
reader: new Ext.data.XmlReader({
record:'tbody tr'},
fields),
// sortInfo: {field: 'username', direction: "ASC"},
// groupField:'group_name'
});
With the two lines commented, I get a simple data grid. With the two
lines not comments I only get an HTML table.
Does anyone have any experience with this part of Ext JS so that I can
reference these fields? A more complete code example can be found at
http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78141. So far no answers from
that forum... I'm hoping somebody here can help me. Please.
Thank you.

Re: Joining two arrays to use in a Select box with the formhelper
Hey there... this thread may hold the answer to my post that is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/25fa39d4e10bff7c#
Would one of you please take a quick look at my question on the
thread? I tried the array_unshift and put it in my controller just
before the render, as Brian suggested, but I did not get the 'Pick
me!' in the list after I selected a state.
array_unshift($counties, array("none"=>"Pick me!"));
$this->render('/examples/ajax_dropdown');
Thoughts? Comments? Code snippet? Thank you!

Re: How may I 'trick' $ajax->observeField into firing with linked combo boxes?
Thank you Brian. Yes, that is what I would like to do. What would that
piece of code look like before the $this->render('/examples/

Is it as simple as $counties = "Please select a ..." . $counties;? I'm
not sure how to insert the empty item at the beginning of the array
before rendering.
Would you be so kind as to demonstrate for me please? Thanks!

How may I 'trick' $ajax->observeField into firing with linked combo boxes?
After hours of research and trial and error, I must turn to the group
for help with this. I have a series of three linked combo boxes for
state, county, and city from the tutorial here:
http://forum.phpsitesolutions.com/php-frameworks/cakephp/ajax-cakephp-dynamically-populate-html-select-dropdown-box-t29.html.
They work great... mostly. I have added to the code in the add.ctp
file to include an 'empty' element of 'Please select a [whatever]'. So
all three combo boxes start out with the first value being 'Please
select a [whatever]'.
The user selects a state. The $ajax->observeField on the state combo
box fires and loads the county combo box. This loses the initial
'Please select a [whatever] and displays the first entry in the list
of counties for the selected state.
Even if the user opens the county combo box and selects the first
entry, the $ajax->observeField does not fire to load the next combo
box of cities, probably because there is no actual change. Only if the
user selects a DIFFERENT element than the first one does the event
fire.
A possible way around this is to still have the 'Please select a
[whatever]' as the first element in the county combo box, forcing the
user to make another selection and thus firing the next observeField
trigger to load the cities applicable for a selected county.
How do I do that? How do I force another 'Please select a [whatever]
element into the list that is returned from the controller function to
retrieve the counties for the selected state?
Here are some code snippets:
/app/controllers/examples_controller.php
function getCounties() {
$this->set('options',
$this->Example->County->find('list',
array(
'conditions' => array(
'County.state_id' =>
$this->data['Example']['state_id']
),
'group' => array('County.name')
)
)
);
$this->render('/examples/ajax_dropdown');
}
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Example->create();
if ($this->Example->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Example has been saved',
true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Example could not be
saved.
Please, try again.', true));
}
}
$cities = array();
$counties = array();
$states = $this->Example->State->find('list');
$this->set(compact('cities', 'counties', 'states'));
}
/app/views/examples/add.ctp
input(
'state_id',
array(
'options' => $states,
'empty' => 'Please select a state'
),
null,
array(
'id' => 'states',
'label' => 'State'
)
);
echo $form->input(
'county_id',
array(
'options' => $counties,
'empty' => 'Please select a county'
),
null,
array(
'id' => 'counties',
'label' => 'County'
)
);
$options = array('url' => 'getcounties', 'update' =>
'ExampleCountyId');
echo $ajax->observeField('ExampleStateId', $options);

Re: actual CakePHP books
Hopefully I don't get flamed for saying this... but "anders" has a point. The senior contributors to this group already understand Cake, possibly even contributing to the development of Cake or writing articles on it. Thank you for your contributions! That being said, there is a lot of misleading and conflicting information about Cake out there. It takes hours to research a topic (like how to use ExtJS with Cake) and then filter through the results to make sure it is Cake 1.2 compatible and the code suggested actually works. Often it does not, as comments to the posts frequently point out. Yes, the API is a great resource as is the "book." When reading those docs it helps to already understand some things about Cake. For newcomers to Cake, perhaps coming to Cake with a lot of experience in procedural languages but not OO languages, it is a daunting task to learn what the official docs are explaining. Add to this that not everyone learns the same way. It is a simple fact that educators have begun to recognize over the last 10 to 15 years. Different styles of learning need to accommodated. That's why there are books, tutorials, articles, samples, even video tutorials now. "[Write] some of your own stuff…" is good advice to contribute back to the Cake community. However it is a 'chicken and egg' scenario. When you read reviews about the available Cake books, there are some comments that are quite critical indicating that the code in the book is not correct. That's not good. I've found the style of the books from Packt Publishing to be helpful to my style of learning. Their book "CakePHP Application Development" presents theory first, what we are going to do with it, the code, then a section "What just happened?" That fits the classic model for teaching: tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them. Ancient principle but it works. After reading a book, plus countless hours researching and filtering information from tutorials, I've found I tend to approach vague awareness and then I am more equipped to understand what I read in the API or official docs. What was the catch line for X Files? "The truth is out there." Be patient "anders" and you will slowly start to increase your fund of knowledge about Cake.

Re: Related drop-down list
Hello there! Yes, you certainly can do what you want in Cake... but it requires the use of AJAX. It took me many hours to get this working in my application and a little frustration. So don't give up. There are many posts on this group on this topic. Distilling all that has been written, for my project it boiled down to these two articles: 1) http://www.croyantdebridiers.com/?p=52 This article has a demo link that works and kept me focused that I could do it too. I could not get the code to work for my adaptation. (Instead of country->region I was working to do distributor->dealer. Same difference, just different tables...) 2) http://www.endyourif.com/ajax-select-box-in-cakephp/#codesyntax2 This code worked for me, but you must read the text of the article VERY carefully. The paragraph that begins "Next up..." had the key with how CakePHP converts a field name. I was having trouble retrieving the data from the secondary table until I finally understood what I had been reading a little past midnight. I hope some of this helps. Just let me know if I can answer any questions. I'm new to CakePHP but am willing to do what I can to be of assistance.

Re: Is there a way to select an action from a double-click?
I'm sorry my post was not more clear. I know in things Internet- related there is no double-click like in a local application. However, I cannot figure out how to have a row in a list of users (from /users/ index.ctp), or even an attribute within that row (perhaps 'username'), be a hot spot so that clicking on that would request an action (view, edit, or delete). Having the links at the end of the row in a list takes up valuable 'real estate' from the area to display information. I'm just looking for suggestions on alternate UI architecture. Thank you for the suggested link with jQuery. I will check that out. I wasn't being deliberately obtuse... it just happens sometimes. Thanks for your patience.

Is there a way to select an action from a double-click?
Thank you for your on-going support! There are a lot of good answers on this group. I've searched for this answer here and in "the book" but cannot find it. What is the best way to have the user select an action (RUD; read, update, delete) without a separate link at the end of the row, as in the default behavior? Is there a way to describe a 'hot spot' for one or more attributes in a list so that if there is a double-click an action can be executed? I'm wondering if this is the world of jQuery. I have not yet explored that area yet. Thanks in advance for your help! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: AuthComponent - Need more explanation about "$this->Auth->authorize"
Hello! It took me a while, but I was finally able to understand and implement a good system for the Auth component. This tutorial helped to explain what I was reading in book.cakephp.org: http://www.jbcrawford.net/archives/45 In the near future I will possibly be upgrading what I have done to ACL. This tutorial looked like the best for my needs: http://brolly.ca/blog/web-development/cakephp-acl-tutorial/ For my application (groups, user, distributors, dealers, technicians, etc.) I may not need ACL just yet. With model associations I have been able to limit access to just the rows for a logged in distributor, for example. That yields the dealers associated with that distributor via choices set in "recursive" on the find(all) and paginate functions. I am going for simple right now, and may expand the application to ACL after my base knowledge is more solid. Hopefully this helps a bit. Keep on it! You can do it!

Re: what's the best, most current book available in English?
I am a newbie to CakePHP also. I've found the book mentioned above good also, up to a point. The book gives me ideas and concepts and mostly concise examples with lots of explanation. From that, I (usually) am able to understand what I had read previously on the book.CakePHP.org site. What is difficult is searching with Google. There is a LOT of information on CakePHP out there, but you have to spend time sifting through a lot. I tend not to read much that is not at least from 2008 and specifically mentions CakePHP 1.2. Apparently the 'point' upgrade was quite major and several often-used functions were deprecated. (Never had used that word before...) I find almost as much relevant information, often more to the point I need, by reading the comments left on a tutorial posted on the web. Don't give up! I recently made several breakthroughs in knowledge and application. If I can do it you can too!

Re: What is wrong with this code?
Thanks Brian! I realize nobody is paid. Yes there is frustration and
desperation at times. I do know how to live with it and continue to
forge ahead.
Indeed I was treating check() incorrectly. I read the entry in
book.cakephp.org about six times until it finally sunk in. Once you
understand what is written in the manual it makes much more sense.
I am using the Auth component. I did try your suggestion at first but
I kept getting an "Undefined property" error on that line in the
default.ctp view. I'm sure it is a timing thing and I could load user
somewhere, but ultimately reading from the session seemed to work out
for now.
Thanks for the encouragement to keep going. I shall. I need the money.
Badly. Now on to model relationships...

Re: What is wrong with this code?
Never mind. So far two posts... ZERO answers... I kept banging on it
and fixed it.
Instead of using ($session->check...), which now I learned returns
true or false, I am now using ($session->read...) which works well.
I guess I have to figure out the right combination of things to put
into a post in order to receive an answer from this group. I will keep
trying.
In case any other newbie has this issue, here is the code that works:

What is wrong with this code?
I am in a quandary as to what is wrong with this code:
check('Auth.User.group_id') == 1):

link(__
('login',true),''.'/'.'users'.'/'.'login'); ?>
link(__
('logout',true),''.'/'.'users'.'/'.'logout'); ?>
The "If" construct at the bottom works to toggle the 'Login' and
'Logout' buttons. However, the "If" construct above based on
'Auth.User.group_id' always acts as if the value == '1'
I have DebugKit installed and it shows the value of 2 for the person
logged in through Session->Auth->User. The field 'group_id' is a
foreign key in the Users table.
Please help me out here! Thanks in advance.

Re: CakePHP Auth Redirect
Would you show me how you put the element to log in on the side of your pages? I've been wondering how to do that, and then turn it off if logged in. For now I am using a login.ctp and a button on the navigation bar that flips between "Log In" and "Log Out" depending on if the user is logged in or not. All is working except for when the user clicks "Log Out". Now the user is directed BACK to the login.ctp, and I want it to go to the static home page. I know it is something simple, but I am missing it. Part of the answer for me was here http://book.cakephp.org/view/395/autoRedirect What do you think?

Redirect issue on logout
I have been doing research on the group and it is awesome! I am new to
CakePHP and trying to learn as quickly as I can. This is my first post
to this group. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
1) If user not logged in, have navigation bar show only button for
"Log In" and static start page.
2) When "Log In" requested, go to login.ctp
3) After successful log in, go back to static start page and display
message "You are now logged in." and change the button on the
navigation bar to "Log Out". [Eventually I would like to personalize
the message to be "You are now logged in as {userID}" but I don't know
how to do that yet...]
4) When "Log Out" requested, log the user out and display message
"Logged Out." and change the navigation bar to "Log In" on the static
page.
I am very very close to accomplishing those objectives. I have 1
through 3 working, with the exception of displaying the userID.
When I press "Log Out", the button does change to "Log In" but I am
redirected back to the login.ctp page. I don't want that! It must be
something simple, as usual in CakePHP. Here is my code:
The app_controller.php file
class AppController extends Controller {
var $view = 'Theme';
var $theme = 'CornFlowerBlue';
var $components = array(
'Email',
'Session',
'Cookie',
'Auth'
);
var $helpers = array(
'Javascript',
'Form',
'Html',
'Session'
);
function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->loginAction = array
('controller'=>'users','action'=>'login');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array
('controller'=>'users','action'=>'add');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/';
$this->Auth->allow('display');
$this->Auth->authorize = 'controller';
$this->Auth->userScope = array('User.active'=>1);
}
The default.ctp file in /app/view/layouts
link('BG Products, Inc. Canada','/');
?>
check('Auth.User.id')): ?>
link(__
('login',true),''.'/'.'users'.'/'.'login'); ?>
link(__
('logout',true),''.'/'.'users'.'/'.'logout'); ?>
check('Message.flash')):
$session->flash();
endif;
?>
The users_controller.php file
class UsersController extends AppController {
var $name='Users';
var $uses = array(
'User'
);
function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->autoRedirect = false;
}
function login() {
$this->Session->setFlash('Please enter your Username and
Password.');
//-- code inside this function will execute only when
autoRedirect
was set to false
if ($this->Auth->user()) {
$this->Session->setFlash('You are now logged in.');
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
}
}
function logout() {
$this->Session->setFlash('Logout');
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
The login.ctp file is just standard
check('Message.auth')) $session->flash('auth'); ?>
create('User', array('action' => 'login')); ?>
input('User.username'); ?>
input('User.password'); ?>
end('Login'); ?>
The logout.ctp file is present, but empty.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
