Validation: at least one associated object
Suppose I have the following model:
Game hasMany Moves
Move belongsTo Game
Is it possible to specify in the Game model that a game should only be
created when at least one move is associated with the data?
For example, a call to Game::save( array('Game'=array
('title'='foo)) ) should fail but a call to Game::save( array
('Game'=array('title'='foo), 'Move'=array('data'='bar')) ) should
succeed because there is a move attached.
Also, obviously if the Move object can't be saved for some reason then
the entire thing fails also.
Thanks for any input.

Re: TreeBehavior across different models
Thanks for the reply. I actually did kind of what you said. I abstracted my objects into a chainable object and then extended that. It worked quite nicely and now I can use the useful methods in TreeBehavior to get the data I need easily. On Jun 18, 9:40 am, delocalizer conrad.leon...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi Greg; Yes my experience is that if it's not easily implemented with the core Tree behaviour then there is probably a better or at least alternative way to do it. Once (and only once) was I determined (desperate?) enough to have a heterogeneous model tree, and in that case I used a separate model with Tree behaviour just for the structure, with fields for the class name UUID of the model object referred to by each node. Worked quite well but had to be careful to keep the the structure tree in sync with its models using callbacks so that adding/ editing/deleting a model did likewise to the tree and vice versa Sounds like it all worked out for you anyway. cheers mate.

Re: Webroot and prefix in Router::connect()
Hey Adam. I actually trashed that idea when I noticed it was causing
me problems elsewhere. You are right that everything seems to work
without prepending this /fb/ to my URLs... except the webroot
stuff :)
On Jun 17, 11:57 pm, Adam Royle a...@sleekgeek.com.au wrote:
I see from a previous email you overrode your AppHelper to automatically
prepend /fb onto all of your links which is causing the prob. Short of
re-writing your links everywhere, you could modify this method so absolute
files are not prepended with /fb.

Subject: Webroot and prefix in Router::connect()
I am working on my facebook app (you may have seen other messages here
by me about this) and I have hit another small problem.
Having set up my routing so that I may enter my app either via
facebook or via a webpage I find that I cannot access files in the
folders in my webroot in facebook.
For example, some of my routes:
Router::connect('/fb', array('controller'='pages',
'action'='display', 'facebook'=true, 'canvas'));
Router::connect('/fb/help', array('controller'='pages',
'action'='display', 'facebook'=true, 'help'));
Router::connect('/fb/:controller/:action/*', array
('facebook'=true));
Router::connect('/', array('controller'='pages',
'action'='display', 'canvas'));
Router::connect('/help', array('controller'='pages',
'action'='display', 'help'));
Now facebook hits my app using /fb/whatever. This works so far for
everything except for my .swf files which reside in my webroot/flash
directory./
If I go to /flash/flash.swf I get my file
If I go to /fb/flash/flash.swf it looks for a FlashController.
I am so close to getting this working just as I need it. I think this
will be my last snag.

Changing view file in controller
Is it possible to change the view file easily in the AppController?
Basically I want to check $this-params['facebook'] and if it exists I
want the view to render to be, say fbindex.ctp instead of
index.ctp...or fbadd.ctp instead of add.ctp. I want to do this
because the facebook pages contains fbml while the other pages contain
xhtml.
I know I can do this in every action in my controllers by using $this-
render('fbindex')but is there a more elegant solution? Perhaps
adding something to AppController::beforeRender() ?

Re: routing to control layout
Just as an addition, your solution worked great. I overcame the
Helper::url() problem by making a custom AppHelper with the following
code:
function url($url = null, $full = false) {
$url = parent::url($url, $full);
if (!empty($this-params['facebook'])) {
$url = str_replace($this-base, $this-base . '/fb', $url);
}
return $url;
}
That way I can use html helper, etc. without it breaking my URLs.

App.base and routing problem
I'm writing a facebook app and am having problems with my routing.
First off I changed App.base to point to my facebook canvas path:
Configure::write('App.base', '/my_app');
I did this so I could use $html-url() to construct my URLs in my
views. It works great except for one problem. I have a route defined
as follows:
Router::connect('/', array('controller'='pages',
'action'='display', 'canvas'));
Before I changed the App.base it would display the canvas page fine.
With App.base changed to '/my_app' I get an error when visiting '/
my_app/':
Error: MyAppController could not be found.
If I go to '/my_app/index.php' I get the canvas page fine.
Can anyone understand what is going on here? Thanks for any advice.

Re: CookBook PDF
Sorry Nate. I really didn't think my request would cause such a burden. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I was just asking if someone already had the cookbook in PDF format (not create it for me). Believe me if I knew you guys felt so strongly about the issue I wouldn't have 'pressed it'. Thanks koko for the PDF, I appreciate it. On Mar 9, 2:11 pm, nate [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Again Greg, that's 30 seconds of someone else's time. But it's really more than that, since it would also have to be someone's responsibility to keep said PDF updated with the Cookbook, which changes often, sometimes hourly. Not to mention that it exists in a dozen languages. So that's creating an uploading 12 PDFs anywhere from once a week to once a day. Gets to be over 30 seconds pretty quickly. But that ignores the larger problem, which is this: by continually pressing the issue, you're essentially trying to take your own problem and make it someone else's. This is not cool. Now the beauty of Open Source, that I've found, is that when you have a problem, rather than trying to get someone else to fix it for you, you fix it for yourself. Not only for yourself, but for everyone. So Greg, you've now been presented with an opportunity, and thank God there is more than one way to convert HTML to PDF (html2pdf anyone?).

Re: CookBook PDF
Okay I know I opened a Pandora's box here, but I really didn't mean to. When I requested a PDF, I was requesting that someone who had one send it to me. I wasn't asking that the CookBook authors create me one, nor was I asking for one to be published anywhere for public use. I certainly wasn't asking that the CookBook site be modified to provide live snapshots of the document. I simply wanted to know if someone had a version that I could have since my PDF writer seems to have kicked the bucket. I don't understand how so much could be read into such a simple request. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Thanks, I actually did what I was trying to do by adding an
App::import() to my routes.php and using my model in there. It works
perfect.

You are better encapsulating this in a component.

Problem with parameter:value notation
I can't seem to get parameter passing in URLs to work when using the
':' separator...
$html-link(__('List Registration Fees', true), array('controller'=
'registration_fees', 'action'='index', 'conference'=
$conference['Conference']['id']));
generates a link like this:
http://localhost/conferences/admin/registration_fees/index/conference:47d02855-7270-430f-a533-2e55cabe3434
and in my admin_index($conference = null) {} method I echo out my
$conference variable and its always empty...
however if I change the URL to conference/47d02855-7270-430f-
a533-2e55cabe3434 the echo works.
So is there a special switch I have to turn on to get the former to
work?

'required' field in form view
I have two models: Application CreditCard...
The application requires a user to input their credit card
information, so instead of having a credit_cards_controller and
related views, I just use the application add view.
My problem is that the credit card information is required, but since
I'm using $form-input('CreditCard.') in my view it doesn't add
the 'required' class to the input div.
Is there a way to get $form-input() to check whether or not the
credit card fields are required?

Postal code validation for multiple countries
I need to check my postal code field for Canada and US postal codes..
I tried using the following postal validation but it doesn't work..
'postal_code' = array(
'zip' = array(
'rule' = array('postal',
null, 'us'),
'required' = true,
'allowEmpty'= false,
'message' = 'Invalid postal/zip
code'
),
'postal' = array(
'rule' = array('postal',
null, 'ca'),
'required' = true,
'allowEmpty'= false,
'message' = 'Invalid postal/zip
code'
)
)
it seems perhaps this type of validation is ANDed and not ORd .. Is
this correct? Is there a way I can check for both countries without
writing my own validation routine?

$Route-connect('/admin/', array('controller' = 'foo', 'action'
