Re: Display both featured AND last posts.

[Linas Jakucionis]

Hi,

$this->set specifies the variable name that is supposed to be used in
the template, so your code snippet should look like this:

$this->set('posts', $this->Post->find('all', array('conditions' =>
array('Post.featured' => '1'),'limit' => 10)));
$this->set('posts2', $this->Post->find('all',array('conditions' =>
array('Post.featured' => '1'),'limit' => 10)));

Re: How to write unit test for getPopularItems()?

[Linas Jakucionis]

Hi,

Common practice is to write unit tests against known test data, rather than
against unknown production data.

That way you could compare the actual values returned.

When doing testing against unknown data you are limited to whatever extra
checks you can make:
* is the correct number of items returned
* do all of them contain count greater than 0
* are they all sorted in (alphabetical | count) order
