Re: IDE

Hey,

You can also use CodeLobster with the CakePHP plugin. Although the
CodeLobster is free, the CakePHP plugin is not; still you have a trial
period for the latter :)

Best regards,
Joel

Pagination Issue

2010-09-01 Thread Joel

Hello,

I have a website which was created for me using cake.php. There is a
pagination issue that I cannot figure out. When I click the second
page of the search results it links to the default page.

If you think you can help let me know and I will specify the issue
online.

Any help or advise would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

cake.icon.png missing from cake/console/templates/skel/webroot/img

2010-04-27 Thread Joel

Hi,

I tried to create this ticket directly at http://cakephp.lighthouseapp.com
but it seems that only cakephp developers can create tickets these
days.  I created a ticket a few weeks ago, but now the create ticket
button has disappeared.

When you create an app using cake bake, the cake.icon.png file is
missing.  There is another cake icon as a gif, which I assume is an
old file:
cake/console/templates/skel/webroot/img/cake.icon.gif

If you do a search for cake.icon.* you can see it is in 3 places.

find . -name cake.icon.\*
./app/webroot/img/cake.icon.png
./cake/console/templates/skel/webroot/img/cake.icon.gif
./cake/tests/test_app/plugins/test_plugin/webroot/img/cake.icon.gif

I'm guessing that the gif needs to be deleted and replaced the with
png in the other 2 places?

I am using CakePHP 1.3.0

Cheers,

-Joel

Re: Recommended application layout for application with multiple portals/interfaces?

Hi Greg,

How have setup your sub apps so they cake can find the config and the
models?  Are you using symbolic links or something?

I'm guessing you're not using the prefix routing to handle this?

Thanks,

Recommended application layout for application with multiple portals/interfaces?

2010-01-19 Thread Joel

Hi,

I've used CakePHP for a few reasonably simple projects, but now I'm
about to start work on a project which is a bit more complicated.
This project is going to have 4 different interfaces depending on the
type of user. Ie Agent, Participant, Trainer and Admin.

Previously I have used the admin feature of CakePHP, which worked
great when there was the public site and the admin site.  But now with
4 separate sites, but with significant amounts of shared code, I'm not
sure what the best way to layout the project is?

For example all of the portals will share the same model, but each
portal will have varying degrees of access to the data.

At work we use Java a lot, and if I was doing it in Java I'd probably
use a Session Bean to handle all the shared business logic, but such
concepts don't appear to directly exist in CakePHP.

I see that cakephp has vendors and plugins, but I'm not sure if that
is what they are meant for.  Plugins don't really seem to be the right
thing, because they appear to be quite independent.
But vendors also seem to be for encapsulated pieces of functionality.

Has anyone had any experience with multiple portals sharing the same
models and views (to some extent, maybe using Elements or something)?

Thanks,

-Joel

Re: Validate HABTM

2009-03-02 Thread Joel


I have the same problem.

It saves automatically but validation won't run.  To me it seems like
the logical place to put these validation rules is on the join table
in the HABTM relationship.  Ie PostsTag model, but unfortunately it
doesn't run.

It's weird that it will happily save the data, but it won't validate
by default.

Auth.redirect session value lost when linking from external site.

2008-11-20 Thread Joel


Hi,

I have a rather annoying problem in the last few days, after lots of
debugging I found it was a problem with the way php handles sessions
and how cakephp handles links coming in from external websites.

I created a bug in Trac here: https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5782

Here is the issue:

On http://locahost/test.html
I have a link to: http://127.0.0.1/cmhr/websites/browse/11/Drug_and_alcohol
cmhr is where cakephp is installed.

The websites controller is using the Auth component so then user is
redirected to an authentication page, but during the process the
session is lost again and cakephp no longer knows where it's supposed
to redirect to because Auth.redirect is gone so it redirects to the
HTTP_REFERER which is http://locahost/test.html after the user logs
in.

I did extensive debugging both using a PHP debugger, wireshark and
reading the php source code for sessions and I found out some
interesting things.

1. Go to http://locahost/test.html

2. Click on http://127.0.0.1/cmhr/websites/browse/11/Drug_and_alcohol
(with session cookie CAKEPHP=750c5ad36000dc5c773b3419e922aff1)
Referer: http://localhost/test.html

3. Cake php saves /websites/browse/11/Drug_and_alcohol into
Auth.redirect and sends a HTTP redirect (HTTP 1/1 302 Found, with
Location header) to http://127.0.0.1/cmhr/users/login (Server sets
Session cookie CAKEPHP=1f537fb5f5a1cdb3065920f05b128314)

4. Browser requests http://127.0.0.1/cmhr/users/login (with session
cookie CAKEPHP=1f537fb5f5a1cdb3065920f05b128314) Referer: 
http://localhost/test.html

5. Server sends back login page amd saves http://localhost/test.html
into Auth.redirect (Server sets Session cookie
CAKEPHP=5ee7d212148b93f5ca6c343808b9690d)

6. Browser posts response to http://127.0.0.1/cmhr/users/login (with
session cookie CAKEPHP=5ee7d212148b93f5ca6c343808b9690d) Referer:
http://127.0.0.1/cmhr/users/login

7. Server (CakePHP) sends back HTTP redirect to http://locahost/test.html

And the user is back where they started.

If you look above you'll notice that on step 5 php has changed the
session key and because it did that the original Auth.redirect was
lost, so when cakephp realises that it decides to use the http referer
instead which happens to be the external website.

I also verified this bug on book.cakephp.org, if you create a link
from an external site eg http://localhost/test.html to
http://book.cakephp.org/edit/526/How-it-Works you should be presented
with a login box, and then after you login you will be redirected
where you came from.  I confirmed this with my delicious account too.
Eg I bookmarked http://book.cakephp.org/edit/526/How-it-Works and then
click on the link, logged in and was redirected back to delicious.

I tried all sorts of things, but couldn't get around it, and in the
end I went as far as read php source code.
In ext/session/session.c I found the following comment:

 /* check whether the current request was referred to by
   an external site which invalidates the previously found id */

Which explains why the session changes on steps 3 and 5.

So to retain the Auth.redirect we have to work around php killing the
sessions.

I had 3 ideas off the top of my head:

1. We set an auth_redirect cookie when we detect that the referer
hostname is different to currrent hostname.  But the problem with this
is that we then loose the session flash message that says "You are not
authorized to access that location." or whatever is in $this-
>authError.  But we could probably get around it easily enough by
adding the authError message back in when we see the auth_redirect
cookie.

2. We append the auth redirect to the login url, ie: users/login?
authRedirect=/edit/526/How-it-Works.  This would probably be more
reliable especially if cookies are disabled, but it doesn't look as
good.  I don't think you would need the ?authRedirect in the form
action because the auth component could just add authRedirect back
into the session when the browser requests the login page after it
sends the 302 redirect.

3. Remove the http_referer, unfortunately I tried this and it didn't
seem to work for me.  It seems that php can still get access to the
http_referer even if we unset it from $_SERVER.


Cheers,

-Joel

Load Helper in Console

2008-11-19 Thread Joel


Hi,

I'm trying to load the TimeHelper from a console, but I'm not having
much lunch.

Can someone give me a pointer how to do this?

I've tried:
App::import('Helper','TimeHelper');
App::import('TimeHelper');

ClassRegistry::init('TimeHelper');
ClassRegistry::init('Time', 'Helper');
ClassRegistry::init('TimeHelper', 'Helper');

$time = ClassRegistry::init('TimeHelper', 'Helper'); gives the error:
Fatal error: Class 'Helper' not found in /home/jpearson/ZDE/workspace/
cmhr/cake/libs/view/helpers/app_helper.php on line 40

Thanks,

Re: Inconsistency between displaying validation errors and validating with model.saveAll()

2008-11-07 Thread Joel


Hmm I already tried Model.id.field,  but it doesn't work for me.

I changed my view to so that it is generating html like so:



But instead of showing validation errors I get this error up the top
of the page:

Warning (2): preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array
given [CORE\cake\libs\validation.php, line 876]

Maybe I need to try the latest SVN instead of RC3?

Also my UserAnswer model doesn't have any belongs to relations, if
that helps.  Because the fix for https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/4981
only seems to apply to belongs to relations.

Inconsistency between displaying validation errors and validating with model.saveAll()

2008-11-05 Thread Joel


Hi,

I've run into a frustrating problem, I'm trying to validate an array
of the same type of model, but the

I have used the name convention as suggested here:
http://manual.cakephp.org/complete/181/Core-Helpers#Field-naming-convention-547

eg:

input('fieldname.1');
   echo $form->input('fieldname.2');
?>



The problem is when I do model.saveAll() it screws up because it
expects the data in this format:
data[1][Modelname][fieldname]
data[2][Modelname][fieldname]

I know that is the expected model because of the comment above the
saveAll function:
@param array $data Record data to save.  This can be either a
numerically-indexed array (for saving multiple records of the same
type), or an array indexed by association name.

But validation errors won't display in the saveAll format.

Because validationErrors array ends up looking like:
[ModelName][1][field] = "error message"
[ModelName][2][field] = "error message"

But for the FormHelper to display the errors it needs to look like
this:
[ModelName][field][1] = "error message"
[ModelName][field][2] = "error message"

So I have managed to work around it by using this in the view:
   echo $form->input('Model.fieldname.1');
   echo $form->input('Model.fieldname.2');

And then I have a function that converts the $this->data for saveAll:

   function _prepareDataForValidation($data) {
  $fixedData = array();

  foreach ($data as $model => $fields) {
 foreach ($fields as $field => $values) {
foreach ($values as $id => $value) {
   $fixedData[$id][$model][$field] = $value;
}
 }
  }

  return $fixedData;
   }

And another function that puts the validationErrors in the right
format:

   function _fixValidationErrorsArray($validationErrors) {
  $newValidationErrors = array();

  foreach($validationErrors as $key => $fields) {
 foreach ($fields as $field => $value) {
$newValidationErrors[$field][$key] = $value;
 }
  }

  return $newValidationErrors;
   }

Should I log this as a bug in trac?

I really think FormHelper should be changed to be in this format:

input('Model.1.fieldname');
   echo $form->input('Model.2.fieldname');
?>

instead of

input('Model.fieldname.1');
   echo $form->input('Model.fieldname.2');
?>

https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/4981 is similar to this, except I
don't have the belongs to association.

Re: Controller Action Testing

2008-10-22 Thread Joel Perras

Two things:

1) I would suggest using the more fully qualified format of
testAction: testAction(array('controller'=>'galleries', 'action' =>
'show', 'xyz')); For simple requests both formats should be identical,
but the latter will be more useful when you start applying more
complex routing schemes.

2) If your controller method being tested calls Controller::redirect()
at any time, the test exit without any warning. This is because the
redirect method was refactored some time ago to call Object::_stop()
upon completion (a smart thing, IMHO), which is actually just a
wrapper for exit(). You can get around this by overriding the _stop
method in your app_controller, but only for test execution:

/**
* Override of Object::_stop.
*
* For unit testing of controllers.
*
* @param integer $status
* @return mixed Null if testing, execution of Object::_stop otherwise.
*/
function _stop($status = 0) {

  if (defined('CAKEPHP_UNIT_TEST_EXECUTION') &&
CAKEPHP_UNIT_TEST_EXECUTION == 1) {
  return;
  }
  else return parent::_stop();
}

hth.

You're overwriting array keys. Name the association something

Re: complex query : HABTM Association between multiple model

2008-10-16 Thread Joel Perras


Try:

$this->User->find('all', array(
  'contain' => array('Brand' => array('Product'))
));


1) Read the Book. Chances are it'll have the information you're
looking for. http://book.cakephp.org/view/474/Containable

2) Look at the test cases for the behavior in question.
http://api.cakephp.org/tests/class_containable_test.html

3) Google is always available. 'cakephp containable' returns 20k
results; I'm sure some of them are useful.

People on this list answer questions in their own free time; you pay
nothing to ask the questions and get an answer, and the risk is that
you might not get one. Complaining is not going to help. If that's a

err, change that to ClassRegistry::init('Phone'), assuming "Phone" is
the model you are attempting to test.

Actually, you can now instantiate your test models using
ClassRegistry::init('NameOfModel'); no need to riddle your tests with
fake Model classes, whose only purpose is to link model associations
and use a different database configuration. Your complete code snippet
above can be reduced to:

class PhoneTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
 var $fixtures = array( 'app.phone_test' );

function testStorage() {
 $this->PhoneTest =& ClassRegistry::init('PhoneTest');
 $all = $this->PhoneTest->findAll();
 $this->assertEqual(4, count($all));
}
}

Re: Encryption/Decryption of data

2008-10-07 Thread Joel Perras


Simple solution: Generate a pseudo-random string of characters (or let
him choose his own passphrase), and use this as a salt to encrypt your
data before saving to your database. The passphrase must then be used
to retrieve any information from the database.

Of course, all of this is completely useless if you don't use SSL for
the entire request/response process.

Re: Bi-directional HABTM edits getting deleted.

2008-10-07 Thread Joel Perras


What''s the problem with 'really high id' values? Do you not have
enough of 4 294 967 294 integers? If so, you can always use UUIDs,
which are, in most respects, inexhaustible, since you'll run into far
greater problems before you start worrying about UUID collisions (like
the entropic death of the universe).

Re: Email Validation after registration

2008-10-07 Thread Joel Perras

Store a timestamp with the token that you send to have your user
validate their email address. If the user validates their email
address after the expiry indicated by the timestamp... well do
whatever you want with that, and delete the associated token from the
database. Routinely remove expired tokens from database through some
functionality, most likely a cron job or a manual task that an
administrator can run once in a while.

Re: Outgoing requests for tests?

2008-10-02 Thread Joel Perras


curl is a tricky one, since SimpleTest does not have any support for
mock functions. As a result, you generally have to do exactly what you
are suggesting, the benefits being that you are somewhat separating
your interface from your implementation.

Re: Best way to localize URL

2008-10-01 Thread Joel Perras

The best way is to localize the *content* on all your pages, and leave
the URLs alone. Provide your users with a method of switching locales
(i.e. a link), which calls an AppController function / Component /
Whatever which then sets the proper locale using Configure::write().
Your static content on your pages will then be properly translated,
and without any additional URL manipulations.

You might have already read this, but regardless:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/163/Internationalization-in-CakePHP

There are also several very good threads on issues similar to this one
elsewhere in the google group.

You're already half way there by overriding the model schema function.
Which other model function do you think you should override so that
you can *save* the data to an external webservice?

I'm guessing you're not using the Auth component (

In that case:

Also take a look at the core Security class:

Re: View-specific element (aka: why use an element?)

2008-09-22 Thread Joel Perras


No problem.  The more Rails converts, the better :-P

The equivalent of App_controller.php and app_model.php in terms of
views is slightly different than what you'd expect; in actuality, the
implementation of view sub-classing allows you to define multiple
custom View classes and attach different ones to different
controllers.

Example:
You can create a custom view class such as app/views/app.php :

 class AppView extends View {

 // Define your View::partial() function here, using
View::render() as a fallback.

 }

To tell your application that you want to use this view class instead
of the default one, define it in your app_controller.php :

class AppController extends Controller {
var $view = 'App';

// Other AppController things..
}

Now you can use $this->partial() in your layouts & elements.

As you can see, I've told my application to automagically load the
'App' view class that I've created.  However, there's nothing stopping
me from creating yet another view class and attaching it to a specific
controller instead of the app_controller.  The caveat here is that you
need to be aware of what goes in a View and what should go in a
Helper, but that's basic MVC design.  In your case though, I believe a
custom view to be the right implementation.

Check out this article (esp. the comments) for an interesting use of
View subclassing:

Re: View-specific element (aka: why use an element?)

2008-09-22 Thread Joel Perras

I usually put these Controller-specific elements inside the same
folder as the controller they are associated to.
Example: create an 'emphasis.ctp' file, and place it in your views/
photographers/ folder.  You can then render this element inside a
photographer view template by calling element('../
photographers/emphasis'); ?>. Remember that to pass in data to your
element you need to pass in a data array as your second argument to
$this::element (data given to the view is not automatically available
to the element).

You can, of course, place an underscore infront of the element name to
adhere to a standard convention; since these elements are never
directly associated to a controller action, then there shouldn't be a
problem.
This ensures that your application separates the global elements (e.g.
header, footer) from the controller/view-specific elements.

Alternatively, you could use a technique pioneered by AD7six known as
mini-controllers: http://www.ad7six.com/MiBlog/Blogs/view/MiniControllers
While I have not used it, there is a not-so-small legion of Bakers who
swear it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Re: asking about Vertical database on CakePHP

2008-09-22 Thread Joel Perras

I believe what you are referring to is the entity-attribute-value data
model (sometimes referred to as the object-attribute-value model):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity-Attribute-Value_model
This database model is actually used in Magento, an open-source
eCommerce PHP framework.

This is a highly specialized DB model that aims to solve problems
caused by data-sparseness that is common to eCommerce, whereby you
have many products (entities), each with different subsets of
attributes and corresponding values.

Cake was never designed to solve this problem, and is thus not well
suited for this type of implementation; however, Cake does not enforce
a specific DB design principle on you.  You will lose many of the
features that make Cake an attractive choice for development (ie. Auth
component, ACL, etc.), but implementing an EAV DB design is
nonetheless possible.

Just don't ask me to do it.

Re: Sorting without Paginator

2008-09-17 Thread Joel Perras

FYI, the MySQL docs actually recommend that to "retrieve all rows from
a certain offset up to the end of the result set, you can use some
large number for the second parameter".  You can always wrap this up
in a custom pagination function, which should achieve your desired
result.  If you want to get fancy, you could figure out an efficient
method for obtaining the total number of records (through count
caching, I suppose), and then use that as your upper limit.

MySQL quote cited above: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html

Remember that when you are defining a model, you are creating a PHP
class with methods and member variables, so you can access them like
you would any other vanilla PHP class definition.

CakePHP is still PHP.

Re: Nested Sets/Hiearchical Categories

2008-08-21 Thread Joel Perras


I think you'd be interested in the Tree Behavior:
http://api.cakephp.org/class_tree_behavior.html
This particular behavior implements arbitrarily deep tree structures
stored in a database using a modified pre-order tree traversal graph
algorithm, which essentially reduces the number of queries to get your
tree (or a subset thereof) to one.  The trade-off is that there is a
slight performance cost to node insertions and deletions.

Re: HABTM cascading delete

2008-08-20 Thread Joel Perras


You could simply delete the records manually, i.e. store the foreign
key of the record, delete the record, then use the foreign key to
delete the join entry and/or the associated record on the other end of
the HABTM relation.

I don't think there exists a cleaner way, but if anyone else knows,
I'd be interested in hearing.

Re: HABTM cascading delete

2008-08-20 Thread Joel Perras


That will only work if your database engine supports foreign key
constraints, such as MySQL InnoDB.  The default MySQL MyISAM engine
does not support any type of referential integrity; you can set the
FOREIGN KEY/REFERENCES attributes, but they will be ignored.

Other database implementations may also be lacking foreign key
constraints, but my experience is localized to PostgreSQL and MySQL.

It's probably worth opening up a ticket concerning your issue, since
one would expect that the default behaviour for 'dependent' would
allow the deletion of the associated entry in the join table,
effectively unlinking the two model records in question.  I agree with
Dave, however, in that in most cases you would not want to delete the
associated records in a HABTM relationship (as opposed to the entry in
the join table) for obvious reasons.

Take a look at http://book.cakephp.org/view/66/models#deleting-data-516

Re: Onkeypress event

2008-07-15 Thread Joel Perras


Problem with using onkeydown for this is that the # of DB requests is
directly proportional to the length of the name being input; setting a
freq. of 1 sec seems like a good solution.  However, I can usually
input my name in less than a second.  Try performing the action on an
onblur instead of onkeydown; that'll retain the same functionality,
but reduce the # of requests to the DB.

Re: inverting self-referencing HABTM associations

2008-07-02 Thread Joel Perras


I would add an extra field that denotes the implication direction,
e.g.

Assuming 'A "enables" B' translates to "if A then B" in propositional
logic, with the material implication going from the antecendent to the
consequent (as it should be):

Add an extra field to your schema, something along the lines of
'direction' (implication direction), that indicates the proper
commutation of the expression (say 'left' and 'right'... assuming you
only have boolean logic); I'm guessing that if A enables B, then it is
not necessarily true that B enables A (in your logical system).  You
can then specify in the 'conditions' paramter of your HABTM model
which direction to filter on, or directly to the Model::find() call.

Watch out though.  Propositional logic can be quite fickle if you
don't adhere to the axioms of boolean logic, causing inconsistencies
that can make your head hurt.  If you're allowing your users to create
their own relationships between entities, I would strongly suggest
picking up a book/article/mathematician-friend (hi!) to evaluate the
nature of your relationships and logical connectives.  However, this
might be overkill... it all depends on what you are attempting to
accomplish.

Hope that was somewhat useful.

Re: Containable with recursivity

2008-06-23 Thread Joel Perras

First make sure that the User model has $actsAs = array('Containable')
set.
This might do the trick:

// app/controllers/users_controller.php
$this->User->find('first', array( // --> Use 'first' if you're only
looking for one user, and 'all' if you want all users who match
specified conditions.
'conditions' => array('User.id' => $user['User']['id'])   // -->
or whatever other condition you use to find a specific user..
'contain' => array(
'Book' => array('Author')
)
));

I'm still playing around with all the new goodies that the Containable
behavior has to offer, so I'm not quite certain how the behavior will
react to a second-level embedding of two HABTM relationships.

Take a look at the Containable behavior test cases; since there is no
official documentation on this, it's the best source of information
and examples.

Really?  That's odd, because findAll() is nothing more than a
(deprecated) wrapper for find('all').  Actually, there are things that
you can do with Model::find('all', ..) that are impossible with
Model::findAll(), such as providing options to the new Containable
behavior.

Read the API if you have some free time.  It's often quite
enlightening.

Re: complex findAll()

2008-06-19 Thread Joel Perras


A similar question had been posed on the mailing list a week or so
ago:  http://tinyurl.com/467kx7
The short answer is that if you are using MySQL, you can use ORDER BY
FIELD(id, 2,3,4,5,1).

Re: How strong is Security::cipher() ?

2008-06-15 Thread Joel Perras

Pardon the previous cryptic reply (!).
The Blowfish algorithm is more secure than the Security::cipher()
method.  In most cases, if you or your client are overly concerned
with data security, then Blowfish (or its successor, Twofish) are both
viable options for encryption/decryption schemes.  There are dozens of
other algorithms as well, but people tend to cling to their preferred
cipher algorithms religiously; I'm more of an agnostic ;-)

In general, if data security is extremely important for you, I would
recommend hiring a specialized consultant to analyze your workflow and
security measures.  There are far more important things to consider
than the strength of the encryption algorithm used.

Just my Mg== cents.

I agree with Grant in that the most probable reason why you are not

Re: Installing CakePHP -> Missing PrivatController

Sounds to me like you're not getting Cake from cakephp.org; there is
no 'PrivatController' in the default Cake installation, and nothing
that could possible cause this error.

Read the installation chaper in http://book.cakephp.org, and make sure
you get the CakePHP sources from the, err, source.

That's a wonderful article which brings to light many software design
principles & patterns that web application developers seem to omit.

For what you are proposing, there is already a behaviour in the bakery
which follows the spirit of what you are trying to accomplish:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/soft-delete-behavior  (this
needs to be updated as of 1.2.0.7125 due to new query syntax, but is
nearly trivial; see the comments).

The Soft Delete allows a user to 'remove' a record, but the
information is still retained in the database; this way, an accidental
delete operation may be reversed quite easily.  Remember, however,
that there are several caveats to be considered when implementing this
type of functionality in web applications with a high level of
concurrency, whereby you can get yourself into several bizzare race
conditions and deletion/insertion anomalies when you are dealing with
1:N and N:1 relationships whereby many users have the ability to edit/
delete/restore the same records.

Just my round(pow(2,-5.643),2) cents.

I beg to differ.  From Mariano's own blog:  http://tinyurl.com/4kbe9q
In Cake 1.2, extra fields in the join models are easy to integrate
into your application.

There are plenty of situations where additional information in the
join table is useful, the simplest being the date/time that the join
record was created, such as in the prototypical articles_tags example;
sometimes it is useful to know when a particular article was
associated with a particular tag, or vice versa.  Other examples could
include an online shopping system, where you would have products,
carts, and carts_products (taken from an old thread on this group).
The logical location to indicate the quantity of a product in a cart
would be in the carts_products join table.

Re: a bit confused (n00b warning)

2008-06-06 Thread Joel Perras

Ok, I'll attempt to re-iterate what you are attempting to do, because
it is not completely clear to me:

1) You want to be able to 'add items to an apartment', where items <-
HABTM-> apartments.
2) This should be accomplished through an HTML select drop-down, which
would be populated with all the items contained within your items
table.
** The above point seems odd to me, since I'm guessing you would like
to have the ability to input many different items (of various
quantities) for each apartment.  This can also be accomplished, but
it's a question of what your design/architecture requires.

If this is anywhere near what you are attempting to accomplish, let me
know.  I just don't want to help you solve a problem you don't have.

-Joel.

P.S.
Something I noticed from your first post:  the most likely reason that
CakePHP couldn't find the 'inventory' table was that it wasn't
following the CakePHP conventions (which can be overrided, of
course).  If your table name was 'inventories', then the Inflector
would have been able to singularize the name, and find the
InventoryController, and the 'inventories' views..

Re: a bit confused (n00b warning)

2008-06-05 Thread Joel Perras

Hi winter,

If you have a field called 'name' or 'title' in the Item table (which
I'm guessing is the case from the schema you gave above), try using:

$items = $this->Item->find('list');
$this->set(compact('items'));.

If your field isn't called 'name' or 'title', then you can set the
$displayField variable in the Item model for whatever field name you
use to identify the items.  This should be enough for cake to
automagically populate the form input on your view pages (if you are
using the form helper, of course).

-Joel.

Re: Validation - some things are more alphanumeric than others

2008-06-02 Thread Joel Perras

Ok, I'm a big enough man to admit when I'm wrong.
After reading the POSIX specification for alphanumeric characters and
realizing that it accomodates for different character set collations,
I concede that you are correct in stating that 'alphanumeric' should
apply to accented characters.

However, the fact that English is not the most spoken language in the
world is a vacuous argument; by your reasoning, programming languages
should be written and interpreted in Chinese and Spanish instead of
English.  I have yet to find a compiled or interpreted Chinese
programming language, and I don't think they exist AFAIK.
English is ubiquitous in the scientific (and software) community, and
there's not much we can do to change this (my first language is
French), nor would I want to.

Anyways, here's what I've found:

After doing a bit of research, I believe the solution to your problem
is this regular expression:  /[^[:alnum:]]/u

Ex:

//1st element will pass, 2nd ?, 3rd will fail
$data = array("asdf1", "çñasd45", "@#%asd23");

foreach ($data as $str):
if (!preg_match("/[^[:alnum:]]/u", $str)) echo $str . " is
valid alphanumeric. \n\n"';
else echo $str . " IS NOT VALID\n\n";
endforeach;

print_r($data);

//Output:

asdf1 is valid alphanumeric.

çñasd45 is valid alphanumeric.

@[EMAIL PROTECTED] IS NOT VALID

Array
(
[0] => asdf1
[1] => çñasd45
[2] => @#%asd23
)

Re: Difference between read() and find()?

2008-06-01 Thread Joel Perras

When you call Model::read(), the data returned is automatically set in
the Model::$data array.  When you call Model::find(), this does not
occur.

Also, with Model::read() you can only scan the model by the id; you
cannot perform complex operations that you can do with Model::find().

Note:  Model::read() actually calls Model::find() to obtain the
resultset desired.

Re: Validation - some things are more alphanumeric than others

2008-05-30 Thread Joel Perras

I agree, and I do this myself in dual-language (English/French)
localised sites.

However, I was simply attempting to illustrate to the original poster
that the 'alphanumeric' rule does exactly what it is suppsed to do, as
per the definition of 'alphanumeric'.  The regex for multibyte
alphanumeric characters is (I believe) simple enough, but you need to
ensure that the characters are UTF-8 encoded.  If you don't know the
encoding, then I have no idea how you would be able to perform the
validation rule (and if this is something that someone has done
before, I will be forever grateful if you explain how to do it), and
hence my comment on the 'impossibility' of a universal alphanumeric
validation rule.  Cake is a wonderful tool, but sometimes you need to
get your hands dirty.

If my regex-fu is still up to par, I believe /[\w\pL]/u to be the
correct multibyte regex to match alphanumeric characters.  If this is
false, please correct me.

-Joel.

In case you don't click the above link:

"Alphanumeric is a is portmanteau of alphabetic and numeric and is
used to describe the collection of Latin letters and Arabic digits
used by much of western society. There are either 36 (single case) or
62 (case-sensitive) alphanumeric characters. The alphanumeric

I'd love for Cake to have a built-in validation rule that would

that's pretty much impossible.

Re: OR operator in query

2008-05-29 Thread Joel Perras


I might be misunderstanding what you are expecting as a result set,
but you could simply do:

$this->Movement->find('count', array(
   'conditions' => array(
'Movement.status'=> array(11,12)
   ),
   'recursive' => -1
));

This would produce the query:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS `count` FROM `movements` AS `Movement` WHERE
`Movement`.`type` IN (11,12);

Which is equivalent (in a boolean logic sense) to the query that I
think you are attempting to construct.

A quick and dirty way of benchmarking page rendering time would be to
put a call to microtime() in app_controller.php in both the
beforeRender() and afterFilter() methods, and echo/log the time
difference between the two.

> Is it possible to use eAccelarator with Cake 1.2?

Cake actually uses Memcache (a PHP wrapper for memcached) for
caching.  Sadly there isn't anything in book.cakephp.org describing
this (yet), but a few well placed google queries and a quick search of
this group should give you an idea of how things work.  I've never
used eAccelerator, but I've heard of other people who have used it in
conjunction with Cake.

Re: Different performance between 1.1 and 1.2

2008-05-28 Thread Joel Perras

When you set your debug configure level above 0 (which you have done
to be able to see the relevant SQL queires), the model caches are
refreshed.  When in production mode (debug level of 0), the DESCRIBE
query results are cached.

You'll have to be more specific when saying 'is slower than the same
application on 1.1.13' to get any useful information on how to
optimize.  Is there more data being sent to the views than necessary?
Are there superfluous queries being run?  Have you changed anything
else since your upgrade, i.e. controller logic, model logic, etc.?

Well, it's probably grasping at straws, but maybe take a look at
what's being done to your Cake session variables, especially
Auth.redirect.  Since this bug seems to appear and disappear at
random, there are very few things that could be causing it; I can only
think of HTTP headers and Session vars being lost or changed in some
way.

Let me know how you end up solving this.

Try debugging env('HTTP_REFERER') in addition to what
Controller::referer($alt_redirect, true) gives you; your headers might
be getting mangled for some reason or other.
Also, is there a specific reason you are statically accessing the
Controller::referer() method instead of using $this->referer() ?

2008-05-22 Thread Joel Perras

On the other hand, if people stop imagining that others can read their
minds and start formulating questions that actually address their
problem at hand, then they'd probably get more precise answers.

Re: Saving NOW() in model

2008-05-22 Thread Joel Perras
