To make reusable bits of code, you /should/ make use of elements. I don´t quite follow what you mean about multiple calls to renderElement, surely the element in this context would contain either the form or the table, so at most there would be 2 elements. Also, generally speaking, it's a bad idea to specify ajax in a render call in a controller ($this->render(x, 'ajax');) That's what the request handler does for you automatically - if someone accesses the url for your ajaxed controller action directly (or doesn't have js enabled) they are not going to see a layout if you hard code to use the ajax layout. A different way of thinking would be to replace your $this->render in your view with echo $ths->requestAction(UrlToDisplayResults); and remove all controller logic for creating the table data from your bureauPage action/controller. The examples below might help (or perhaps some of the other permutations): http://www.noswad.me.uk/Pagination/Form http://www.noswad.me.uk/Pagination/PRG/Ajaxed You can get the source from the demos tab, note that for the second example the view does not make use of elements but it should (in keeping with what I said above).

RE: Rendering a view for ajax and non ajax
Sorry I should be more clear..
When the page is first rendered I have a table generated with content in it.
Once the page is up there are some selection boxes to allow you to filter the
contents of the table.
So the first time the page is rendered there is no ajax call, its just rendered.
When the user selects a filter, I make an ajax call to have the table
re-rendered without re-loading the page.
So my dilema..
My controller has the method bureauPage which has a view bureau_page.thml
This has a div inside it
$this->render('results_table');
When its first rendered it needs to render the table which I could do with
regular html calls or multiple calls to renderElement.
Now in my code when you apply the filter I need to update the results_table div
so in the controller I have
render('results_table', 'ajax');
So if I didn't user $this->render('result_table') in the view bureau_page.thml
I'd have to have to copies of the results_table php code, one when the page is
first created, and one when I need to update the div due to the ajax call.
Can you tell me a better way to do this since I may just be going about it all
wrong.
Cheers
Grant

Hi Grant,
It's probably wise to take a step back and look at your code with an eye on
what methods you should be using. You should not be calling render in your
view, or was that typo? Your message implies that you have
table_contents.thtml and table_content.thtml, but I can´t really make out what
you have or want to achieve.
Regarding ajax and not: There is no need to create 2 views for the same method,
irrespective of the contents that is obviously a duplication.
Just include the requestHandler component - you then don't need to do anything
to have a layout for a normal request, and not for an ajax request. Generally
speaking, it's unnecessary for controller or view code to be aware of whether
it's an ajax call or not when processing a request.
HTH,

Rendering a view for ajax and non ajax
Hi guys,
I have a view where I need to render the same content when its an ajax
call another time when its first page render. I don't want a duplicate
of the table_contents.thtml file even if its uses elements to create
itself. So in the table_content.html view file has :
$this->render("table_contents");
and in the controller when I do an ajax update I do :
$this->render('table_contents', 'ajax');
the issue is when you render a view inside a page causes it to render
the view with its layout so it closes the html tag and the body tag at
the end of the render call, and anything after is techinically invalid
since the html tag has been closed. So my initial page render is
actually wrong due to the table_contents being a view file and not an
element file.
I know you can use elements for "content" which I do to actually create
the details of the table_contents.thml but when the page loaded the
first time its table_content div is the same as when its called from
ajax and I hate having a duplicate view thml file.
Cheers
Grant

ajax issue "stale" data ?
I have a weird issue going on. we have a "filter" that returns results based on a list box, this works great and I've run it in the debugger to make sure it works. load the page and the page view says "20 results" which is correct because we have not applied the filter yet. You now select a value in the list box say "give me stories where the name = "john", an ajax call is made to the controller, it exectutes the query and then renders the view called "results_ajax" which updates a div tag "results". I put some debug code in results_ajax.thml and it correctly says there was 1 result, this then calls render element to create a results table -> results_table.thtml and I put some alert in ther too and it says there we 20 results, which is what the results where before I applied the filter. I though it could be caching so I deleted the cache files at each click but no change, I'm trying to figure out what this is, it appears the view gets the right data, but the element rendered from the view is getting the old data... its very odd.

RE: Associations without using foreign key?
Luigi, The join table which is the 'extra' table is a common practice and good design principle in when working with databases, when you say it seems like unnecessary work, how will you stop someone inserting a record in your blog favorites that has no relationship to the blog posts table, you would it in code, but if you have a join table that has foreign keys to the two tables you an configure the database to not allow an unknown key to be inserted, this gives you DATA INTEGRITY which is a key part of a well developed application. So your code could attempt to keep things clean and consistent but your DB will not allow records with unmatched keys to be inserted. I'd suggest reading the book "Database Design for Mere Mortals" for a good idea on well defined schemas.

Hi all, Is there anyway to specify a hasMany or belongsTo association that doesn't use a foreign key? I have two tables: blog_posts: id, author_id, title, text blog_favorites: id, user_id, author_id The idea of blog_favorites is that every user can choose a few favorite authors, and the blog_posts can be queried based on the match between author_id's. However, there are no foreign key available for an association, because in both tables the author_id isn't the primary key. It seems like I would have to build an association through a separate author table, but that just seems like unnecessary work.

RE: Cake PHP Vs Prado Vs Symfony
I can't really comment on other php frameworks. But I've been developing software professionally for over 18 years, my "day" job is an Enterprise Architect and I do a lot of J2EE apps, I've done EJB's, spring, struts, hibernate, and then on the .NET side Nhibernate amongst another trillion frameworks. In flash (actionscript) I've used arp and I wrote arpx, I've also used cairngorm. Cake is the best framework I've every used for speed of development, I wish there was something like it for java (the rails port sails is the closest thing but still seems immature) and for .net (spring for .net helps, but its very configuration heavy). There are some things cake lacks (good programmer error handling for database issues, transactions etc). But overall Its ridiculous how quick you can build an application. I don't like php's syntax as I was a C/C++ programmer and .net and java syntax is my personal preference, but due to cake I've actually decided to build 3 projects in cake over using .net due to the sheer simplicity and ease of development cake has provided to me over .net and java frameworks.

The more correct way is certainly to use the internal structures which need to be patched...

you'll be wanting 'requestAction' sir.
Bascially, you call the full url from a controller or view, and the
calls the method and returns the result, eg:
// tests_controller
function getData ()
{
return $this->Test->findAll ();
}
// examples controller
function index ()
{
$tests = $this->requestAction ('/tests/getData');
}

RE: Saving multiple models from a view and validation
Ok, now I have my validation working with a save I have a bit of a
conundrum.
It doesn't look like cake fully supports transactions,
My Asset hasOne AssetData
The asset_data table has a foreign key asset_id back to the asset
table.
To insert a complete asset, I need to insert a record in the asset
table and in the asset_data table.
The code does this :
$this->data['Asset']['archive_state_id']
= 1;
$this->data['Asset']['asset_uri'] =
"tbd/fakefolder";
$this->data['Asset']['active'] = 'y';
if ($this->Asset->save($this->data))
{
$assetId =
$this->Asset->getLastInsertId();
$this->data['AssetData']['asset_id'] =
$assetId;
if
($this->Asset->AssetData->save($this->data))
{
$this->flash("saved the
asset", "/assets/add");
}
else
{
$this->flash("Unknown error
trying to save asset", "/assets/add");
}
The problem is if validation fails on my assetData then I will have
already saved the asset record. The cake docs and some discussion did not
recommened calling invalidates($this->data) from my model since save calls
that before saving, but since there are no real transactions and I can’t
rollback, should I just throw caution to the wind and directly call invalidates
before saving the asset model so that if validation fails I’ll know
before I’ve created an asset record ?

RE: Application Architecture
Thanks Grant, that does make a lot of sense, I do display a form, the xml usually has incomplete data that the user needs to update in the form, so the xml is there just to "seed" the form. I guess I can read an example record from the database and then dump the associative array to a file so I can see how to make sure I populate and empty one correctly? What I was looking for is "best practice", i.e. do people just look at their database and start typing into their associative array or is there some best practice for making sure you get all your fields correct such as dumping a record you have read from the database ? Grant -Original Message- From: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grant Cox Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 7:27 AM To: Cake PHP Subject: Re: Application Architecture I'm not sure what you mean by "baking" the model - bake is just a command line application to make model/view/controller stubs (although stubs doesn't give them much justice, they are very functional). Even a "complete" model file will not specify the database fields, except where needed for validation. But anyway. So you have your XML uploaded (and related Quicktime files), you've parsed the XML data, and now you want to save it. Firstly, do you really need the form before saving? If it is just for manual validation before the data is saved to the database, is this really needed unless there is an error? I would suggest that your parsing converts the XML into associative arrays suitable for saving as model data. Yes, this does mean that you need to know the database field names in your parsing/conversion code, but this isn't really that bad (you need to know the XML field/element names too). Rapid development is the key here, rather than over architecting parts that aren't really likely to change. Once you've parsed the XML into an associative array of model data, just save it and rely on the Model's standard validation. If this save fails, display an edit form just like any other edit() action, for manual verification. Of course, this is assuming your XML inserts only a single model row. If it has a number of rows, then it would probably be best to parse and validate the data, and display some kind of summary validation page to the user. If they continue, the file is again parsed, but the models are saved. This is the approach I'm using for uploading a CSV of user data, where if there are problems it is easier for the user to re-upload the file than to use a form to fix each row. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

RE: Application Architecture
Wow, I'm loving cakePHP and have made a ton of progress. What I'm trying to figure out now is the best approach for the xml/view/save. I have my xml loading and figured out and my form, I'm thinking : A) do I use the bake utility to create a concrete version of my model (assume to has all the data members from my table) and then : 1) read the xml 2) use the concrete version of my model and pass it to the view via the controller 3) view uses an instance of the model to pre-populate the form 4) upon submit use the standard cake validation etc and write the model to my database. Or do I B) Use the associative array version of my model and populate it with xml : 1) read the xml 2) use the associate array version of the model and hope I spell all the column names correctly Steps 3 & 4 are same as above. I'm a little nervous about trying to populate the "dynamic" model that will be initial empty, maybe its because I come from a java background. Is baking the model the preferred approach ? Thoughts on this approach ? Cheers, Grant --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

RE: THTML files not working
I'm a noob and have a suggestion, get the eval copy of Nusphere's php ed , hit a page then step through the code in the debugger, I didn't really understand the controller/view mapping until today, when I stepped through the code and figured out how cake looks for your request, maps it to a controller then figures out your action, and what an action is... Its helped me a bunch.

RE: Application Architecture
Thanks grant. What I've done so far is created a controller to parse the xml, it uses xpath to get the nodes/attributes that I need (I don't need the whole of the xml). No what I want to do is populate an instance of a model "asset" with the contents of the nodes I captured, I see that the model is an associative array so do I have to manually populate an associate array to be a copy of my db table. Any links to anything that does this ? Basically it would be like having a from on screen, filling it in and then creating a new record I guess , just in my case the xml is used to pre-populate the form. (I have a java applet that ftp's some QuickTime files to the server with an xml file and my cake/php app parses the xml and pre-populates a form). My concern here is I use cake where I can instead of just coding it myself and slotting it into cake and not using cake's "abilities".

Make a component that parses your XML into an associative array. Get your controller action to pass the uploaded XML to this component, then use the array data to create and save instances of your model(s). I agree a lot of heavy lifting can be done in a model, but I wouldn't put XML parsing in there as it is a generic action.

RE: new to cake, and mvc in general
I would be very interested in responses to this, especially the
validation areas so please keep the discussion on-list if possible.
Thanks

Subject: new to cake, and mvc in general
Greetings,
After putting work in for the past few months on a system I was going
to build on phpBB3 (when it was released) I've decided to move over to
a framework. Most of the work I've done is portable, as I was building
around phpBB3, instead of modding it, with it being in development
still.
I did a lot of research, and it came down to 3 frameworks to try.
Django, Code Igniter, and Cake.
I went with Cake first. I didn't want to learn python, as it would
basically invalidate most of the code I wrote already. Between Cake and
Code Igniter, Cake appears to be the more robust of the two.
I've had no problems with installation, even with using Xampp on my
windows xp box for development.
However here's some things I'm looking at, that I haven't found
immediate answers for in the documentation.
Data Validation - It's way too simple for what I want. I'm looking for
ways to say, validate a date field is a real date, and then also
validate that it's in an acceptable range (ie: over 14 years old). I'd
also like to be able to set custom error messages based on error.
Now, it looks like i can do a lot of this if i move more validation
into the controller. I can then feed error messages using
this->set('errorMsg', 'whatever'); and then display errorMsg in my
view's return for an invalidate. However, as I understand it, i should
be doing validation at the model level?
I did try some of the snippets out there for overriding invalidate in
app_model.php. I mainly just encountered preg-match errors all over the
place and they didn't work.
Database Access - Right now I'm just building a simple registration
form for users. I noticed with sql debugging turned on that on the
initial page view, before any of the data is submitted, a sql query is
made to describe the table (DESC `users`). It appears that every page
view using the model/controller/view setup does this query? This looks
to me like unnecessary sql queries. Is there a way to set it so it only
queries when it actually needs to interact with the database?
Views - The tutorials I've found have dealt with pages that interact
with the database for one thing. Like a blog. However, some of my pages
are going to need to interact with different tables to display all
types of information. My index page for example would show site
announcements, new members, advertisements, maybe even latest forums
posts, etc etc. Users will have a home page that once again would be a
consolidation of various queries of unrelated information. Are there
any tutorials for accomplishing this kind of thing?
As I said, I'm entirely new to the MVC way of thinking.
So far though, I'm generally impressed and believe I should definetly
be able to speed up the process of development with Cake, now that I'm
getting my head wrapped around it.

Got the cake blog running but got a "cache" issue ?
Hi guys, I did a search but didn't find a match for this
issue,
I have cake running and the blog tutorial put together part
way and it works but I get warnings at the top of my pages :
Warning:
file_put_contents(C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\app\tmp\cache\models\default_caketest_list) [function.file-put-contents]:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache
Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\cake\basics.php on line

failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache
Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\cake\basics.php on line
835
I created the folders
incase I was supposed to :) But is it a permissioning issue where cake
can't write a cache file ? or something else ?
cheers,
Grant

not sure if it needs to be set back to true afterwards so I put it there just to

methods but again I'm not certain how this will affect the rest of the

someone can shed some light on the subject? http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/f63c6883a8d301ff/211449bb08d706fe?lnk=gst&q=cacheQueries&rnum=1#211449bb08d706fe
