Querying across multiple tables in CakePHP 3.x ORM
I have three tables *Countries, Cities* and *Addresses*. Their relationship
is Countries hasMany Cities, Cities hasMany Addresses. So Its something
like this Countries-Cities-Addresses.
If I want to get all addresses in a certain city I can do it like this
$this-paginate = [
'contain' = ['Cities']
];
$this-set('addresses', $this-paginate($this-Addresses));
If I want to get all Cities in a certain Country I can do like that as well.
*What I want is I want to get all Addresses in a Certain Country. *If
there's new way by modifying above code or using ORM it would be great.
Note: Addresses *does not* contain foreign key for Countries, instead its
in the Cities.
Possible query would be: SELECT a.*, c.* FROM countries a LEFT JOIN cities
b ON a.id=b.country_id LEFT JOIN addresses c ON b.id=c.city_id

cakePHP File Download was not found or not readable
I've been struggling now for an hour trying to fix this. I used this to
download file from app/uploads/directory. It says the directory not found
or not readable. Yet i checked it and it was there also the file using
$file['File']['filename']. I want to know what I am missing here.?
$file = $this-File-findById($id);
$extension = pathinfo($file['File']['filename'],PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$this-response-file('uploads'.DS, array('download' = true,
'id' = $file['File']['filename'],
'name' = $file['File']['filename']

Re: $this-redirect not working
Without the redirect Cake should take you back to the 'instructions' view.
Have you tried removing the redirect line to see what happens (assuming the
instructions action you have here is in the instructions controller)?

Re: Hot out of the oven CakePHP 1.3 alpha
Great work guys! On Nov 4, 4:28 pm, mark_story mark.st...@gmail.com wrote: The CakePHP development team is happy to release the alpha build of CakePHP 1.3. We've been hard at work improving upon the already great 1.2 and implementing new features to ease development and increase the flexibility of CakePHP. There have been a number of changes to existing features and its recommended that you review the migration guide[1] for changes in existing classes and features. Also checkout the new features guides[2] for the new features introduced in 1.3. As the 1.3 code branch stabilizes, methods that are currently deprecated and generating errors will be removed. It is therefore important to update the necessary methods to their new names. If you would like to help with the ongoing development of 1.3, you can do so in a number of ways. Firstly filing clear and concise tickets for any issues with new or existing code helps get the issues resolved. You can also contribute by forking the CakePHP project on code.cakephp.org and implementing features and test cases in your forks. This speeds up development as cherry picking commits is faster and easier than applying patches. The future roadmap places CakePHP 1.3, as a stepping stone towards the also in development CakePHP 2.0 branch which will feature a mostly backwards compatible API. The CakePHP 2.0 branch can be found athttp://code.cakephp.org/cakephp2 Finally, we'd like to thank the community for their ongoing support and contributions in making CakePHP as great as it is.

Re: Odd code in sanitize core lib?
I thought this was the case too (I use Consolas fwiw), so I pasted the
code into an empty text editor (TextWrangler) and did a search for
'!', and it returned two results. What font are you using to view the
code, making the search and replace strings different? As far as I can
tell, the search and replace strings are identical.
I'm guessing it's some sort of testing code that wasn't cleaned up
during the refactoring process...? I don't know.
But yeah -- this isn't a ground-breaking drop-what-you're-doing kind
of thing, just out of curiosity I was just wondering why that's there.

Re: Release: CakePHP 1.2.5
Hi Mark,
Thanks for replying. I'm in no way mad at all -- after all it's a
version number, I was just annoyed ('miffed' means annoyed) by the
silence from the devs. I was mostly confused about trusting whether
1.2.5 was in fact 1.2.5, because as I stated earlier, if the version
number wasn't committed properly, maybe other fixes haven't either.
I have your word that nothing else is missing, so I'll take it.
Besides, if there is a problem I guess I could always wait until
1.2.6!
Yes, this was a slip up, but it's rather minor in my books, and I
still love and use CakePHP every day, so keep up the good work Mark et
al.

George,
Sorry to hear you're miffed, but I made a mistake in packaging 1.2.5
so the version number printed when running shells reads 1.2.4.8284.
While the VERSION.txt reads 1.2.5. So if you want to be mad at
someone be mad at me. As for other things missing, there is nothing
that I'm aware of. As the version number changes are the last changes
made before packaging. I'll try to do better in the future, sorry for
all the confusion and anguish this has caused you.

IE7 form submission with array fields
I'm not sure this is specific to cakePHP, but has anyone encountered an issue with IE7 where it truncates an array-like form field? Basically, I have a dynamic form using javascript that allows an arbitrary number of fields, all named the same (prices.0.price, prices. 1.price, etc). Whenever I submit the form in IE7, it seems to only take the first and last field, and drops everything in between. So if I have 4 fields, $this-data will show up with only fields 0 and 3. Is there a fix for this that anyone knows about or has anyone found a way around it? FF, IE8, Chrome, Safari all work just fine. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Database / Relationship question (habtm)
You really need to think of the three entities separately first, and decide how they should be related before you go on and start coding. Making an ER diagram is usually very helpful. (look it up if you don't know what an ER diagram is...you'll find a ton of info). It sounds like your app is like a bulletin board. In that case, off the top of my head, how I'd first flesh it out follows: Categories can have many topics Topics belong to a category Profiles can have many topics (a user can start many topics) Topics belong to many profiles (topics are written to by more than one user) Categories and Profiles don't need a relationship; their relation can be inferred by the other relationships if need be. I guess if you REALLY wanted to know who created a category though, you'd have Categories belong to Profiles and Profiles Have Many Categories, but I won't include that. So you'd have: Categories Have Many Topics Topics Belong To Categories Profiles HABTM Topics And you'd need the tables: categories, topics, profiles, profiles_topics Now, if this was a BB, you'd also have posts. And Posts would belong to Topics (threads) and Topics would have many Posts. That's how I'd do it I guess. If your app is different from that though, then your relationships would possibly be different and you'd have to follow the previous post's advice and ask yourself those questions. I think an ER diagram will help you a lot to figure out what you want before you spend a lot of time coding in the wrong direction.

Paginator sort() links not switching between asc and desc?
Hi guys, I have a list of users displayed in my view in a table, and the resultset is parsed by Paginator. I am also echoing $paginator-sort () in my view. When I view the page the links work and they sort by the columns that I have specified in my code. But I thought that if I was to click on the same column again (eg. sorting by last logged in date) that it would sort in descending order, click again sort ascending, etc. It's not doing this – it just sticks to ascending order only. Is this the way it supposed to work? In the documentation (http:// api.cakephp.org/class/paginator-helper#method-PaginatorHelpersort) it says under return: string A link sorting default by 'asc'. If the resultset is sorted 'asc' by the specified key the returned link will sort by 'desc'. I've taken this to interpret as the link is like a toggle, but in my case this isn't the case.

Re: Defining Custom Association Queries - merging results fails
After considerable digging, I'm basically at the final root of this
problem.
finderQuery is correctly getting the records, but they are failing to
actually be merged with the User model. This blog post (http://
www.visuallizard.com/wil/blog/210/) answered many of my questions, and
some of the info there wouldn't be bad to add to the cakePHP
documentation.
After digging into the libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php, I can
see exactly where my relation is failing. In function
__mergeAssociation, it fails right at the final conditional before it
should merge each $merge[$row] into $data (line 994). My $merge array
looks like this:
array(
[0] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[id] = 001
[name] = Person_1
)
)
[1] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[id] = 002
[name] = Person_1
)
)
[2] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[id] = 003
[name] = Person_1
)
)
It seems cake wants each row as an associative array, and mine are all
numerical, for whatever reason. ($merge[n]['Salespeople'] instead of
$merge[n][0]). I'm sure there is just some setting somewhere in my
model probably that I'm missing, that would give each record a key
instead of just 0. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Here's the
updated code I have for the $hasMany attribute that is causing all of
this to run:
var $hasMany = array('Salesperson' = array(
'className'='Salesperson',
'fields'=array
('Salesperson.id','Salesperson.name','Salesperson.email','Salesperson.phone','Salesperson.job_title'),
'foreignKey' = false,
'finderQuery' = 'SELECT [Salesperson].*
FROM [nav_salespeople] AS [Salesperson]
INNER JOIN [users] AS [User] ON
RTRIM(REPLACE(LEFT([Salesperson].[email], CHARINDEX(\'@
\', [Salesperson].[email])), \'@\', \' \')) = [User].[username]
WHERE [User].[id] IN ({$__cakeID__$})'));
Shouldn't the fact that I have className set, put a key in that merge
array? Or am I missing something?

Help on somewhat complicated model relationships
I have an application that is using three user models, from three datasources. One is specifically built for the application (User), one is LDAP-based (NetworkAccount), and the third is a static database (Salesperson), in that I can only read from it. I'm also using the ACL component, which complicates things a little more. Anyway, in the first database, I have my ACL tables and a user table. My problem is that the models based on the LDAP and static databases use a varchar username as their primary keys, and I can't change that. However ACL seems to require that the foreign keys in the aros table be integers. In my User model, I want to associate the corresponding models, but I can't figure out how to define the $hasOne conditions so that both the primary key in the base and the foreign key on the other side are custom. Basically if I set User.username to be the primary key, ACL fails because it can't convert the varchar to intergers in the aros table. Here is the pertinent info to make it more clear: Model User pkey = User.id (int) unique = User.username (varchar) Model NetworkAccount pkey = NetworkAccount.SAMAccountName (varchar) Model Salesperson pkey = Salesperson.Code (varchar) I know in the relation variables, you can specify a foreign key, which I have to do since neither of the other two tables have a user_id column. But can I specify the column in User that I want to match with? Obviously what I want to do is User.username = NetworkAccount.SAMAccountName and User.username = Salesperson.Code. But I haven't been able to figure out how to tell cake to use username instead of id for the relations. Hopefully that makes enough sense for someone to offer up an idea. If I can't use the built-in relation variables ($hasOne, $belongsTo), how would I go about writing custom queries that would automatically fire when a User object is created, to pull the info from the other two tables? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

String 'NULL' inserted instead of value NULL with ACL, MSSQL. Help?
I've been grinding away with ACL on a project, and I'm running into what appears to be a bug with the ACL code and dbo_mssql.php. Basically inserting new aco records fail due to cake generating incorrect SQL code (it puts single quotes around a NULL, thus inserting the string NULL, not NULL itself). I found this ticket (https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/6024) in the trac which is basically exactly what's happening to me as well. It appears this hasn't been fixed in the latest nightly though, and I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to apply a fix until the bug has been resolved. I also found an older reported bug that appears to be the same thing (https:// trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5381). I've been digging in libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mssql.php, and libs/model/db_acl.php, but haven't been able to see where the quotes are being applied to the NULL value. My guess is there just needs to be an extra conditional to check for a null value and not apply quotes in that case. If anyone knows where this can be resolved, that would be awesome. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: String 'NULL' inserted instead of value NULL with ACL, MSSQL. Help?
I found what so far seems like a temporary fix for this issue. It's
probably not ideal, but the only drawback I think would be if you
wanted to actually insert the string 'NULL', you can't after this fix.
On line 278 in cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mssql.php, change:
if (in_array($column, array('integer', 'float', 'binary'))
is_numeric($data)) {
to
if ((in_array($column, array('integer', 'float', 'binary'))
is_numeric($data)) || $data == 'NULL') {
Now, if $data is NULL, it will get caught in this conditional and
return without enclosing single quotes. I suppose you could change the
last part to strtolower($data) == 'null' to catch any form of NULL
instead.

Re: Using a model without a table
I've been using the release candidates, and just upgraded to stable
1.2, hoping that would fix the issue but it hasn't. I've tried using
MySQL now instead of MS SQL Server just to see if that had an effect
(final will have to be MS though) but I'm still getting the same
problem. If you're getting the correct functionality doing exactly the
same thing, then I guess for some reason my model files aren't getting
loaded at all. Not using a hacked core or anything, just everything
straight from the repository. Weird. I guess the search continues. Any
other ideas would be appreciated if someone stumbles upon this thread.

Re: Using a model without a table
Ok, I finally solved the problem, and I feel like an idiot. I had my
model files named plural instead of singular, so that's why there
weren't getting loaded. ie: app/models/posts.php instead of app/models/
post.php. Argh. I thought I checked that first but probably got caught
up in other stuff and missed it.
Thanks for all your help though. If someone else has a similar error,
first thing is CHECK THE FILENAMES (and also class names for that
matter, though that wasn't my problem).
Exciting, now I can finally start doing some cool stuff with this
framework. I guess the good news is I know my way around the file
structure pretty good now.

Re: Using a model without a table
Hmm...are you sure you linked the right podcast? That seemed to be
only about formHelper. I listened to the whole thing and didn't hear
anything related to setting up models without tables.
Does anyone know how to check some sort of diagnostics on a model at
runtime to see if the parameters are even being loaded correctly? I
tried for instance, making a simple controller/model combination and
then using Debugger:dump(); However, the output doesn't seem to show
that the table name was changed at runtime. Here's the code for the
controller, model, and the output of the dump:
?php
class PostsController extends AppController {
function index() {
$this-set('posts', 'test');
Debugger::dump($this-Post);
}
}
?
?php
class Post extends AppModel
{
var $useTable = 'reports';
}
?
OUTPUT:
AppModel
AppModel::$useDbConfig = default
AppModel::$useTable = posts
AppModel::$displayField = title
AppModel::$id = false
AppModel::$data = array
AppModel::$table = posts
AppModel::$primaryKey = id
AppModel::$_schema = array
AppModel::$validate = array
AppModel::$validationErrors = array
AppModel::$tablePrefix =

AppModel::$__associations = array
AppModel::$__backAssociation = array
AppModel::$__insertID = NULL
AppModel::$__numRows = NULL
AppModel::$__affectedRows = NULL
AppModel::$_findMethods = array
AppModel::$_log = NULL
To me, it seems like my model isn't even being loaded at all. The dump

Re: Using a model without a table
Thanks for the suggestion Dr. Loboto. That doesn't seem to do it for
me either though. I'm still getting the stupid complaint that the
table doesn't exist. If I add a reports table to the database, then
it works fine, but obviously I don't want to have to add tables to the
database I have no intention of using just to satisfy cake's need for
finding one. Frustrating.
If you have a moment, would you mind running a Debugger:dump($this-
Utility); in your controller and letting me know what prints? As you
can see from my post, I'm getting information that looks as if my
Model isn't being loaded at all, and cake is defaulting to automagic
functionality. If yours outputs AppModel::$useTable = false or
Utility::$useTable = false, then obviously something is wrong with my
configuration or setup, and not the actual model.
Thanks for your help.

Checked my models without tables, all of them work fine and differ
from yours only in one param. All of them have $name :
?php
class Utility extends AppModel {
public $name = Utility;
public $useTable = false;}

Try add $name, maybe it is just strange bug? (and clear cache too)

Annoying. The manual seems to say pretty cut and dry that by setting
the $useTable member equal to false, cake will ignore the table
requirement.
For more info, I'm running cake on fedora/apache, and using MSSQL

setFlash extended parameters
Hi
I'm a new Cake user, cutting my teeth on 1.2. Forgive me if I'm being
stupid here but I'm finding the documentation a little unclear on the
use of SessionComponent::setFlash() in its extended form. i.e:
SessionComponent::setFlash ($message, $layout = 'default', $params =
array(),$key = 'flash')
I'm attempting this in my controller:
$this-Session-setFlash(__('An error occurred while uploading your
image: ' . $error, true), default, array(extra = EXTRAINFO
HERE), imageError);
and expecting to be able to find $extra set in the view for use:
if($session-check(Message.imageError)){
$session-flash(imageError);
echo pextra info: . $extra . /p;
}
Instead it returns an undefined var.
I've also attempted to dig around the flash array like so - $session-
flash(imageError.extra), but with no success.
$session-flash(imageError) works fine.
Could any cake gurus give me a pointer as to where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance..
Marc

Moving data from a controller to a view after doing some queries
Hello! It seems like my lack of knowledge of MVC is once again
holding me back. I'm attempting to develop some code that searches
for users in the database and shows ones who's first or last names
match. So, I have a function in my controller:
function findsomeone() {
if ($this-data)
{
$searchstring = $this-data['Client']['searchstring'];
$numwords = substr_count($searchstring, );
$fields = array(0 = 'id', 'first_name', 'last_name');
if($numwords 0)
{
$searcharray = explode( ,$searchstring);
$results = array();
foreach($searcharray as $saelement)
{
$conditions = Client.first_name LIKE
' . $saelement .
' OR Client.last_name LIKE ' .
$saelement . ';
$results =
array_merge_recursive($results, $this-Client-
findAll($conditions, $fields));
}
}
else
{
$conditions = Client.first_name LIKE ' .
$searchstring .
' OR Client.last_name LIKE ' . $searchstring
. ';
$results = $this-Client-findAll($conditions,
$fields);
}
//flatten the array, and then pull out all the
duplicate entries
$flattened = array();
for($i = 0; $i count($results); $i++)
{
array_push($flattened, $results[$i]['Client']);
}
array_multisort($flattened, SORT_ASC);
for($i=(count($flattened)-1); $i0; $i--)
{
if($flattened[$i-1]['id'] ==
$flattened[$i]['id'])
{
array_splice($flattened, $i-1, 1);
}
}
// and here I'm stuck
}
}
So, $flattened has the data I want, and I know that in the view, I
should just be dropping code like echo $client['Client']
[first_name']; to display the first name, for example. What's not
clear to me is how to pass that data back to the controller.
Looking at the index function that bake created for me, I see the
cryptic:
function index() {
$this-Client-recursive = 0;
$this-set('clients', $this-paginate());
}
and unfortunately, it's as clear as mud to me as to how that actually
works, and I can't find a good discussion of what it's doing, so I
can't figure out how to get my data from $flattened back to the view.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a good discussion of how to get
this to work? Thanks in advance.

Re: enum
On Jan 25, 8:32 am, MonkeyGirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
How would you get the enum values from the model or controller?
By far the easiest way is to go
tohttp://cakeforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippetid=112
and copy and paste the code that's there into app_model.php, then you
can just use lines like the following in your code:
$types = $this-Album-getEnumValues('type');
In this example, 'type' is the name of the enum column, Album is the
model it's in, and 'types' is the variable that will automatically be
picked up by this line in the view (assuming you're using Cake 1.2
with its form helper):
echo $form-input('type');
This will give you a dropdown, just like the one you get for foreign
keys.
Hope that helps,
Zoe.
Looks simple enough, but I'm very new to the whole Model-View-
Controller paradigm, so I can't quite make sense of this.
Adding the first part of that code into the app_model.php file is
straightforward enough, and I only need the function add() section
if I intend to use this functionality with Bake (right?) which I
currently don't.
So, would I want to say in some view:
$types = $this-Album-getEnumValues('type');
echo $form-input('type');
$labels = $this-Album-getEnumValues('label')
echo $form-input('label')
Or that's what I'd think to do at first glance, but it doesn't seem to
work - $this seems to point to the current view object and not the
Album object, which I suppose makes sense. But then it's not clear
to me where the $types = $this-Album-getEnumValues('type'); line
ought to go, if not in the view page. Thanks in advance for any
clarification you can send my way!

Help configuring CakePHP 1.1 or 1.2 for a total CakePHP newbie
Hello! I'd like to get started using Cake, but so far I haven't had a lot of luck. I've been attempting to follow the excellent Cook up Web sites fast with CakePHP, Part 1 hosted at: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/os-dw-os-php-cake1.html My first attempt involved using CakePHP 1.2, beta version 6311. After downloading it, unpacking it in a folder beneath my webroot, changing the permissions to 777 on /app/tmp and attempting to visit http://www.myurl.com/cake12/ (which should bring up the configuration/ welcome page) my browser hangs for a minute before spitting out: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /var/www/ html/cake12/cake/libs/view/view.php on line 634 Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/ html/cake12/cake/libs/cache.php on line 208 Undeterred, I switched to CakePHP 1.1.9.6305, upacked in a folder beneath my webroot called cake11, changed the permissions of the /app/ tmp folder, and tried to visit http://www.myurl.com/cake11/ - this time with some success, although I don't see any section about my cache being set up properly or my tmp directory being writable. Nonetheless I plowed ahead through the tutorial, and created the files listed on page 3 of the tutorial. So, when I visited http://www.myurl.com/cake11/users/register I saw the registration page and filled it out. When I hit the registration button, my URL is changed to http://www.myurl.com/users/register and I'm told that page doesn't exist, which makes sense. I tried changing the ROOT and APP_DIR values in /app/webroot/ index.php, but that only seemed to break everything, so I changed it back. My next attempt was to copy all of the files in /webroot/cake11 directly into /webroot. This works to some degree - I quickly defined a index() function in /app/controllers/users_controller this displays a small message using $this-flash, so when I retrieve http://www.myurl.com/users I see the message, but attempting to visit http://www.myurl.com/users/register gives me the same page doesn't exist message, even though I know that register.ctp is there. So, my questions are: 1) Can anyone make sense of the error I'm getting with 1.2? I'm happy to stick with 1.1, if need be, but I'd be glad to get it working. 2) What is the correct way to tell CakePHP to use a certain path? Leaving files in /webroot/cake11 works until it needs to (I'm guessing) build a URL, at which point it assumes the Cake files should be in the /webroot folder; and moving them to /webroot seems to make the register.ctp view seem to not exist at all as far as the web server is concerned.

Inflections not being applied?
Hey everyone, I have set up CakePHP 1.2 beta on my host and am writing a CMS. I have set up two models, one called Menus and the other called Contents. Menus - hasMany - Contents, while Contents - belongsTo - Menus. In my controller code, I am at the stage of validating my data against the two models. I have one page, mysite.com/admin/menus/add that allows the user to enter Menu information (eg. page title, stub, parent menu, etc) and another fieldset for the actual content (this is so that one menu can have different versions of content). In my controller code, I have as follows: $this-Menu-set($this-data); $this-Menu-validates(); $this-Menu-Content-set($this-data); $this-Menu-Content-validates(); ... which seems to make sense to me, models being first-char- capitalised and in singular form. This also follows for my user management module that I wrote, the model is always referenced as singular. However, when I execute this code, CakePHP is imperative that 'Content' should really be 'Contents'. Executing the above code gives me the following PHP error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /app/ controllers/menus_controller.php on line 130 Changing 'Content' to 'Contents' makes it all work. A part of me is feeling like I should just fix what's broke and who cares if it's theoretically wrong, but a larger part of me wants to make this work theoretically and practically as well (plus it's more poetic!). I have included a link to a paste of my inflections.php file, I tried to modify it so that I can force the singular of 'Contents' to be 'Content', but it doesn't seem to make any difference. http://bin.cakephp.org/view/905242165 Any ideas out there?

Missing Action / Controller / View doesn't see JavascriptHelper?
Hey everyone,
I think I have broken my CakePHP application that I am making... As
you all very well know, CakePHP throws error messages when it comes
across a missing action, controller, view, etc. However, I have done
something to my default.thtml file and now this does not function.
If I was to go to a URL within my project, eg. www.example.com/fdjgddf
instead of www.example.com/login (fdjgddf isn't an action or a
controller), I am faced with the following:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /app/views/
layouts/default.thtml on line 5
Line 5 in my default.thtml file is:
?php echo $javascript-link('prototype'); ?
It seems that it's not loading up the JavascriptHelper for some
reason. It seems to load HtmlHelper fine. Mind you, when an actual
controller / action has been referenced (eg. www.example.com/login),
everything loads fine, including JavascriptHelper -- this only happens
when there's a missing controller / action / view.
Is there a way to fix this?

Re: Missing Action / Controller / View doesn't see JavascriptHelper?
Actually, sorry I had found out how to do it!
I just added the line:
var $helpers = array(Html, Form, Javascript, Ajax);
to my app_controller.php file and it's working fine.
Sorry for wasting resources!
