Re: Would PHP 5.3 stop cake cron job working?
Without a bit more detail, I would guess that the new PHP 5.3 does not have mail setup by default and from a hosting service this usually requires a request before they will enable it. You can check that if you have ssh access to the server console by inspecting the php.ini Look for the setting for mail or smtp. You should also see some messages in the log file for php/apache indicating the function you are trying to use is unavailable or not defined.

Re: High scalability with CakePHP
Cakephp is a framework built on top of PHP. There is really nothing all that special about Cakephp when it comes to scaling your site. The basic techniques of scaling a web application for a LAMP stack are the same weather or not your using Cakephp. Change your search and leave out the 'cakephp' keyword and look at articles that talk about scaling a LAMP stack. Then take those individual techniques of memcache, NFS, CDN, Database Replication, Session mgt, etc. And look for articles that talk about each of the specific techniques in regards to Cakephp. And even then the techniques often times have nothing to do with Cakephp. You'll find much more relevant information and having a good overview understanding of scaling a basic LAMP stack will help you understand more about what area of your application needs to be most scalable. For an example it makes no sense to add multiple servers if the problem could be better resolved by simply doubling the memory in your current server. This is where performance profiling really pays off. You need to know what your bottle necks are, and you need to know what the correct solution to that bottle neck will be. There is no one size fits all scalability plan. But there are specific techniques to deal with a specific problem. Understanding what the field of scalability has to offer for your underlying technologies is key to being successful in solving your bottlenecks.

In 2.0 you solve this tedious by building/subclassing formhelper. Using the alias feature and writing your own functions to support your needed/different template and format.

Re: DebugKit in 2.0
As the App::import no longer recursively scans the sub directories you
need to be specific about the path for FireCake to load.
Both of these worked for my setup where DebugKit is installed in the
main "Plugin" folder
App::import('Lib', 'DebugKit.FireCake');
App::import('Lib', 'DebugKit.FireCake', array('file' =>
'Plugin'.DS.'DebugKit'.DS.'Lib'.DS.'FireCake.php'));
This one did NOT work with my setup: App::import('Vendor',
'DebugKit.FireCake');
This was a clean install of (FireFox, FireBug and FirePHP) and I had
forgot to enable FirePHP from the tools menu. Spent a bit of time on
that because it looks like its loaded and working when you look at
FireBug. But without the FirePHP->enabled checked the UserAgent sent
to the server does not contain the FirePHP version. When FireCake.php
does a check to see if its enabled via the UserAgent version, its
missing, and exits early.

Re: DebugKit in 2.0
I was able to get DebugKit working by

After I had a copy I cd into the DebugKit folder then I switched to
the 2.0 via
git checkout 2.0
Updating bootstrap.php to load the plugin (new CakePHP 2.0

CakePlugin::load('DebugKit');
Modified the View/Layouts/default.ctp by commenting out the following
line

I've got DebugKit working but I'm struggling with DebugKit.FireCake
I'm sure it something to do with the changes to App::Import vs
App::uses and the App::build paths.

Re: 'Site under maintenance' option
You could restrict it by client ip so that only the blessed ones can connect from a specific set of ip's to the login page. Then you don't have to worry about a secret url you can do the check on the client ip in App_controller and allow/deny and redirect with normal cake process before they ever see the login page. Post a note on the Login page so other admins who are allowed to see the login because they meet the special ip's know the site is in maintenance mode. If you do this I would also only allow admins who are connected from the specific set of ip's to set the site to maintenance mode. Or on the page to set the site to maintenance mode allow adding the current client ip as a valid connection site. It would suck to have to drive into the office because you set the site to maintenance mode while connected from an ip that wouldn't let you login to turn maintenance back off.

Re: How to work in a group with Git and remote server? (Ex. Keep files in sync while FTP'ing)
Git does a great job of keeping network traffic to a minimum. So I use git from my live hosted site (remote server) to pull a specific tag. This way if something goes wrong or some bad code ended up in the release I can always easily and quickly pull the previous version tag until the problem is corrected. Most hosting sites servers support the git client. And most will allow you ssh connection if you request it. I've found the following post and workflow from Vincent to be a great baseline of how a team should work together using git. It has a nice diagram and the blog entry covers all of the important process for the entire development cycle. http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ You don't have to use all of his suggestions but the diagram really helps you see how they all work together over time and versions of a project. Maybe git isn't directly related to cake-php and some have mentioned this to be off topic. But just like the databases are not directly cake-php our apps are useless without them. I view a source repository as very on topic as I can't imagine working on any project without a source repository or a deployment plan.

Re: Issues With Auth Component
Auth is NOT Access Control, It is simply authentication. You know the
user is real and has validated.
Access Control at a data level requires a bit more than Auth.
In general you can build up ACL (Access Control List) where you can
then control which data is visible to different request objects.
If you really don't need full ACL and you just want to limit the user
you can add a check against the Auth components current User id and
compare to the id they are trying to edit/view etc.
$this->Auth->user('id');
More info can be found here:

Re: Where should i contact right people in CakePHP.org because this security critical problem
I'm curious why your blaming CakePHP for MySql allowing connections
outside of the webserver?
I made this error once on a live site. Someone hacked my sight
connected to the db and deleted everything in the tables.
When this happened I didn't go off and blame CakePHP or even MySql. I
knew I was the one responsible for the security of that site.
You could just as easily blame MySql for allowing you to configure a
connection from outside your network.
I changed the user credentials to a specific user (not root) and
password to the db and restricted Mysql to only accept connections
from the webserver for that user. I added a sandbox.php to my
configurations. My app/config/sandbox.php is NOT checked into the
repository and it holds custom configuration for the local system. So
on my dev machine I have some specific settings and for the live
deployment I have a different set of settings. It also enables
multiple developers to have completely separate configurations and not
effect the structure in source repository. This sandbox file is loaded
via Configure::load('sandbox'); at the top of core.php and used as in
Configure::write('debug', Configure::read('Sandbox.debug'));
I don't remember exactly where the concept of using a sandbox.php file
and Configure::load() came from (I think it was in one of the many
articles from one of the core devs) but the credit for this technique
belongs to them and is probably why the function is already in the
Configure class in the first place.
I've thought about using getReferer or $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] as part
of the sandbox file name which would allow me to do local testing on
the live server but have yet to implement that. You would create
multiple sandbox files as in mysite_com_sandbox.php and
127_0_0_1_sandbox.php
Overall I'm with Mark. If we as a community want those changes we need
to strengthen our understanding of that code and submit a patch. As
for me I've learned my lesson, I have a great solution that works
great with the current code base and solves a few additional problems
I was having with multiple developers and deploying new changes to the
server. These are very simple to setup and make a part of your
deployment process.

Re: Anyway to change the default.ctp to another header.ctp ?
Not sure if your example given for the login was where you intend on
using this.
I would leave the default.ctp as the main header for your site.
Create a special/custom header for your auth/login/register pages.
Something like login.ctp
Then as Chris mentions set $this->layout = 'login"; in the actions of
your auth or user controller for the login and register actions.
You can change set $this->layout from anywhere in the controller.

Re: Easiest way to get data from a model (better way than $model->data['modelname']['field'])?
Great, so now when I need to build my view that displays data from
four different models, I can call set a bunch of times in the
controller for each model. come up with a whole new form helper to
deal with data that does not have a model key. And deal with duplicate
fields labeled 'id' in my html form. Then when I post my data from a
form back to the controller I can put a bunch more code in place to
remap all the view data and try to figure out what fields belong to
which models so I can save them correctly.
Or I could use this new convention in the models only (which would be
ok) and then the cake array convention in the views so I can
constantly second guess what format of data i'm working with.
Sarcasm was intended.
Seriously now. Once you get past the simple one model form app and
really start to use cake, your going to find your new simplified
function is going to get in your way or its going to be used so little
you will question why you still have it. There are many reasons the
cake data arrays are created the way they are. And its NOT because
thats the way its always been, or some ridged developer wouldn't
change. Its because it makes for very consistent and portable data
from the Model to the Controller to the View and back. Its not just
data its also a consistent structured container for the data so all
the cake 'magic' from the model, controller and view can make use of
it.
If you find you really just need a single field for a specific record
you can call the model::field() function which will go all the way to
the db to get the data. (slower but more precise in a few situations)
as in:
echo $this->Post->field('name');
I give you credit on at least one point. You put the code in the model
instead of the controller. So your a bit ahead of a lot of the new
developers to a MVC framework. ;)
One point you didn't mention is multiple records from the likes of
find('all') or find('list'). Or dealing with data that is many models
deep (recursive).
There are many, many, many reasons to use the cake array structure.
I would encourage you to re-read chapter 3.7.3
I assumed quite a bit about your project/problem as you never stated
you had one other than the new shoes feel different than the old ones
your used to wearing. Try them out for a week or so, maybe its just
the change you needed.

Re: Cakephp 1.3 Form Helper inputDefaults bug?
Just an FYI, I've experienced situations like this where Firebug and
the View Source seems so different.
Everytime I've seen this I've missed placing a closing tag or forgot
to include a required wrapping tag. As an example I had forgot a
so my 's were not conained correctly.
Not sure which one (firefox or firebug) does it but one of them tries
its best to correct the html so the data can be displayed.
I'd look for a missing ending tag or invalid structure in your output
before you send it to the browser, could be in your layout or how you
generate the view.
I know the Html helper has caught me a few times on div and spans as
one format to the $this->Html->div() will return a fully closed tag
and one format will only return the open tag and you need to close it
off in a separate call.

Re: Adding fields to a form dynamically - a complex case
I do the very same thing with a contacts hasMany addresses and a
contacts hasMany phones type relations
The form uses some simple scriptaculous/prototype javascript. To
duplicate and insert an html template set to display=none. It changes
the display and updates the field id's each time the "add" button is
clicked.
This builds the form controls in a cakephp freindly way so I can call
SaveAll. In my model beforeSave I strip out any data items that are
still in the template format.
I took a glance at the link Dwayne provided and it looks to be fairly
complete I might replace what I have with his as mine is more of a one
off solution in its current state.
I thought I would share it as it may give you some other ideas of
implementation and integrating the dynamicField solution into the
CakePHP form.
In my view I have the following div's The first one is the Template
and is hidden the second div is visible and by defaults automatically
shows the Phones associated with the Contact.
Optout
Work
Home
Mobile
Home
Fax
Work
Fax
Pager
Other
remove
div('contact-phones');
if(!empty($this->data['Phone'])){
$phones = $this->data['Phone'];
foreach ($phones as $i=>$phone){
echo '';
echo $form->input('Phone.'.$i.'.id');
echo $form->input('Phone.'.
$i.'.optout',array('div'=>false,'before'=>'','after'=>''));
echo $form->input('Phone.'.
$i.'.deleted',array('type'=>'hidden','value'=>'false'));
echo $form->input('Phone.'.
$i.'.value',array('label'=>false,'div'=>false,'before'=>'','after'=>''));
echo $form->input('Phone.'.
$i.'.label',array('options'=>array('Work'=>'Work','Home'=>'Home','Mobile'=>'Mobile','Home
Fax'=>'Home Fax','Work Fax'=>'Work
Fax','Pager'=>'Pager','Other'=>'Other'),'label'=>false,'div'=>false,'before'=>'','after'=>''));
echo 'remove';
echo '';
}
}
echo $ajax->divEnd('contact-phones');
?>
The JavaScript first finds the max phone iteration. It grabs a copy of
the 'contactPhoneTemplate' updates the id's and name values and then
inserts the innerHTML at the end of div 'contact-phones' in the form.
This is the function tied to the "Add" button Next to my phones:
function addPhone(){
var iteration = 0;
for (iteration=0;iteration<=100;iteration=iteration+1)
{
var targetDiv = 'Phone'+iteration+'div';
if(!$(targetDiv)){
break;
}
}
var myDiv=$('contactPhoneTemplate');
$('contact-phones').insert(new
Template(myDiv.innerHTML).evaluate({model: 'Phone',iteration:
iteration}));
}

Re: Cakephp App::import() broken
You might want to remove your closing ?> tag in the imported file(s).
It is not needed in a pure php file (those that DON't mix php and
html) which does not have any raw/html text to be displayed. And it
will ensure you have no problem with a trailing whitespace. Which I
think is probably the #1 problem for the error headers already sent.
Aslo run the whitespace task in the shell from DebugKit. I used to
always be surprised by what it found. And finally realized various
editors diffs, merge tools etc were the cause. Cant live without some
of those tools and I can't control the other developers working on the
project, so just remove the closing ?> in the files. PHP has never
required it. And it is a best practice on many php based app sites to
leave the closing ?> off.
You'll notice most(probably all) of the cakephp core for 1.3 like
core.php, bootstrap.php etc. has taken on this form or best practice
as well.

Re: Has anyone connected cakePHP to SQL Azure?
gobb0, Microsoft SQL Azure can be connected to by php using the Microsoft SQL Server Driver for PHP So you should be able to connect to the db from CakePHP using the dbo_mssql.php DataSource Driver. http://book.cakephp.org/view/1075/DataSources You see, Cakephp has supported Azure since before it was released. ;) For connection String Info you should search for PHP and Azure.

Re: CakePHP 1.3.7 released
I do NOT see comments on the cakephp documentation to be valuable. I think comments like php.net are great when your talking about how to use a function. Most of the content of the cakephp book is how to use the framework a little bit more extensive than a sequence of function calls. This is where comments really don't help, the comments are either not complete enough to really help anyone or they are misleading and end up confusing more than they help. Examples of use with decent explanations are extremely valuable, and should be made part of the documentation, and I think the authors of the book have been doing a great job at this in recent years. These examples tend to take more effort to put together. Submitted to git where the concepts can also be reviewed by the architects of the framework and verified against best practice. Best practice is another issue when you step past the function to the framework. A lot of the comments go against best practice because it takes to much effort to explain how to do it correctly in a comment. This is why we see way too much code in the controller that should be in the model. I'm pretty sure for the most part we can all read an API for a function. There are plenty of comments on usage of specific functions and parameters in the google groups. A good number with links back to the documentation. If you really want to see how to use a function take a peek at the test case. The documentation needs more real examples that focus on solving a specific problem, or best practice on using a specific part of the framework. This is where we can really add to the value of the documentation. Another problem with comments is when you go to convert or output your documentation in different formats like PDF etc. You generally don't get the comments which might show one or two good examples, or you get all the comments regardless of how relevant they might be. I vote for using a tool like sphinx for documentation. Using git and community contributed commits to enhance the documentation. And I vote for keeping comments and questions in the groups, IRC channels and personal Blog space. I really appreciate all the efforts the Core team has put into this project. They have made the work I do more enjoyable, and less tedious.

Re: Sharing data/values across different controllers
Sharing data between controllers is generally not a good practice and
is a good indicator of heading down the wrong path.
Data should all be manipulated at the model level.
Explain a little more about the data your sharing between the two
controllers and why the data is coming from a controller instead of
the model.

Re: How to implement CakePhp in an external site?
>From your description you've given, I would say your placing your code
in the wrong place or in the wrong level of the MVC. (Model, View,
Controller) The order of this acronym also implies importance about
where you should be putting your code. Most of your code should be in
the Model, the business logic, calculation and manipulation of data.
The view is next in the list as we need to format all the data we just
finished manipulating. The Controller should have the least amount of
code as its main purpose is to tie the user requested events to the
business logic and control which model functions should be called, and
to pass the already calculated data from the models to the view.
Think of them in this manner Models return Data, Controllers return
Views.
Often new developers to the MVC development structure end up building
apps where most of the code lives in the controllers and the models
are bare and relying on the core functions inherited from the base
model. They quickly find themselves in your position where you want to
use some code from a function in Controller2 to manipulate some data
from within Controller1 and find that it is very difficult to call on
another controller.
Models on the other hand are available to use from any other model in
the structure. Code put in a model can be called by both other models
as well as by the controllers.
Do your best to make your Models Fat with your data manipulation and
your Controllers Thin and you'll find the MVC framework is a great
design.
So your simple case might look more like this:
class Model2
{
belongsto Model1
function getComplexData(){
$this->find(something);
$this->Model1->customfunction();
//combine and play with data returned from model1 and model2
}
}
class Controller 1
{
function func1(){ //No data manipulation in the controller.
$data = $this->Model2->getComplexData();
$this->set(data); //pass data to view for display
}
}

Re: Multiple apps / one login
I solved this problem by having one app handle all of my logins and then redirect after authentication to one or more of the other sites. In the redirect I pass the users temporary token to the second site. In all the sites during the app.beforefilter I check for this passed params decode it and read from the model the user that was passed in and then I set auth true and skip that sites login. This technique has worked well across multiple servers and even across technologies meaning going from CakePHP on a linux box to a .Net server on Windows and later back to the linux box. >From the users point of view they have no idea how many times they switch from one server to another unless they are really watching the url.

Re: Starting a programming blog, should I use CakePHP or wordpress?
True that there is additional maintenance, and documentation required. Which I believe is worth it. However I would argue that I and many developers in the past have tried to force a single platform/language/db etc. The reality is we (and our clients) cannot afford to rewrite everything using our new favorite tool of the year. Especially when there are other tools that already do a better job at it than what we might put together giving the time, cost, minimal requirements etc. Some clients may want a all in one and have the money to pay for and be willing to wait long enough for the code to be completed. I just haven't found any of those clients yet. I've picked what at the time seemed to be the best software in its market space for a specific subsystem. Learn how to use it well. On occasion if the tool is lacking a requested feature I would re- evaluate the available options and switch my preferred tool for that subsystem. Having an integrated layer also means we can swap out that subsystem if something better suited comes along. And this I believe is the proper way to keep a large system migrating to newer tools. I agree this has been a good discussion and I don't think there is a right or wrong way to answer and solve the problem, as a matter of fact I think each situation needs to be evaluated and analyzed. I do the same thing when I'm setting up a new physical network, I use a certain brand and class of hardware on all my installs. I know the interfaces well and I am familiar with the hardwares faults. At some point we as a development community started looking back at what we've tried and what works best. Often we've found what we thought was the best way to do something was completely wrong. The Gang of Four did this best. A process we should all continue to do is a self evaluation of our efforts and their results. Have a great day Coding today!

Re: Starting a programming blog, should I use CakePHP or wordpress?
If you want to really do anything with cake and a blog system, I would say your best effort would be in learning how to integrate and use an existing blogs API For my clients I'm usually being asked to solve a problem. More often than not that problem is an integration problem between already implemented and heavily used systems. I need to bring a business concept together which often includes payment options, blogging, email, graphs, maps, OpenID, etc a whole slue of subsystems which already exists. You'll have a more complete toolbox if you learn how to properly use and integrate with these other systems via their published API's. This activity of learning to use an API from within cakephp will cover two aspects being discussed. It will give you the opportunity to learn and practice writing cakephp apps, plugins, behaviors, components, and helpers. And at the same time give your cakephp app access to some really complete subsystems like WordPress, Google Maps, Google Analytics, Annotated Time line, PayPal, QuickBooks, etc. Anytime you can use the resource of hundreds of other developers to help you build your system I'd take full advantage of that. I use cakephp, sql, php, crons etc to glue all the other subsystems together into one cohesive system of applications for the client. I write what I can't find or when the tools I do find do not provide a clean way to integrate or are just to difficult to modify to the clients needs. I have web apps that are a mix of servers Linux, Windows, and seamlessly integrate between apache and IIS with mixed dbs of MSSql and MySql. From the users point of view they are in one app. I really believe our industry has leaped past the one off apps. We don't build apps anymore, we integrate, build and organize systems. If you do build a one off app, I'll guarantee you the first request your client will ask is can we integrate this with our system/app? I love cakephp because its structure allows me to integrate, build and use these other systems. A few of my cake apps are never viewed by human eyes, they run as cron/shell apps to move data between systems that don't know how to work together. The Model Controller layers accompanied with a few components like task queue and some crons makes cake a great way to add background functionality to legacy systems. I'm still a one man team, but that is only possible because I use systems that are actively supported by many hundreds of developers and community members. You can't go wrong in learning how to integrate and use these other subsystems. By doing so you add a lot of functionality to your toolbox with very little effort. At least a lot less effort than rolling your own. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Mdy date validation fails for Sep instead of Sept
Date format is a very interesting problem. Mostly though only in the
US.
The order and format of a date can take on many forms. For some reason
in the US the common public form is Month Day, Year as in Sep 1, 2010
abreviated 9/1/2010 where if you abbreviate with hyphens instead of
'/' as in 9-1-2010 this represents 9 Jan 2010.
All most everywhere else on the planet the format is Day Month Year as
in 1 Sep 2010 or 1-9-2010
Programatically in SQL we use year-month-day hour:min:second.micro.
2010-09-01 12:00:00.123
ISO 8601 2004-02-12T15:19:21+00:00
As validation is for verifying data input we need to consider the
mindset of the community that will be using our software and provide
the proper conversions from that input to the format we need for our
Database etc.
Explore php parse_date() and see what it makes of all the different
formats.
On top of all of this info it seems that September is the only month
that has two acceptable short or abbreviations (Sep, Sept) all the
other months only ever use 3 chars.
If you adjust the regex to the following both short forms will
validate. Sep as well as Sept
This looks to be something that might be worth entering a defect for.
I'm not sure if the core team was trying to match the short form of a
given spec or some other standard. But most of my validations are for
the benefit of the user not some specified standard. Further more most
of my users are lazy and that extra 't' is just to much for some of
them to type ;)
If the short form Sep 1, 2010 is not truly valid say for the database
date format etc. Then you would want/need to add some beforeSave code
to clean up the format. I haven't look real deep into the cakephp code
in how the Date data is converted back and forth between the UI
display and the Database, but if its using the parse_date() function
both formats work correctly.

Re: sending multiple email
This is a working solution, however you will eventually run into
problems with this solution. The first may be browser timeout.
Many ISP's have limits on how many emails per hour, and how much data
per hour can be sent out before you are black listed. Whats missing
from your solution is called throttling. So you don't flood the
server.
I would suggest you use the queue plugin http://github.com/MSeven/cakephp_queue
to first background this work so your browser isn't waiting for it to
finish.
Once you have the work running in the background now you can take the
appropriate amount of time to process your loop and stager the emails
being sent so the email server doesn't flag you as flooding.

Re: Sending StatusMails by CronJob - what is the right approach?
This is exactly how my app works.
I can as an auth admin via the browser hit my controller action to
send out notifications.
The same Controller action can be called from the shell in interactive
mode in which it outputs info about what emails were sent.
The same Controller action can be called from the crontab where no
information is output this is controlled by a parameter passed to the
shell command.
My Controller function:
function notify(){
$this->layout = 'default';
$conditions = array('Profile.notify' => 1);
$recievers = $this->Profile->find('all', array('conditions' =>
$conditions));
if (!defined('FULL_BASE_URL')) {
define('FULL_BASE_URL',
Configure::read('Sandbox.site.url'));
}
foreach($recievers as $reciever){
if($reciever['Profile']['notified'] == null){
$reciever['Profile']['notified'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',
Time() - (1440*60*14));
}
$curTime = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', Time());
$vardump = $this->Project->findnew($reciever['Profile']
['notified']);
//$this->set('notifiee', $reciever);
//$this->set('email', $vardump);
if(!empty($vardump)){
$this->set('notifiee',$reciever);
$this->set('email', $vardump);
$this->Email->_debug = false;
$this->Email->reset();
$this->Email->charset = 'iso-8859-15';
$this->Email->to = $reciever['Profile']['email'];
$this->Email->subject = 'New Projects and
Attachments';
$this->Email->replyTo =
Configure::read('Sandbox.site.email');
$this->Email->from =
Configure::read('Sandbox.site.name').'<'.Configure::read('Sandbox.site.email').'>';
$this->Email->template = 'projectemail';
$this->Email->sendAs = 'html'; // because we
like to send pretty
mail
$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
if($this->Email->send()){
$this->Profile->id = $reciever['Profile']['id'];
$this->Profile->saveField('notified', $curTime);
}else{$this->log('Notify email could not be sent');}
}else{
//update the notified date.
$this->Profile->id = $reciever['Profile']['id'];
$this->Profile->saveField('notified', $curTime);
}
}
exit;
$this->layout = 'default';
$this->pageTitle = 'Sample Test Email';
}
Here is my vendors\shells\notify.php:
It simply loads and sets up the Controller and EmailComponent
And then calls the controller function listed above.
ProfileController =& new ProfilesController();
$this->ProfileController->uses = array('Profile','User');
$this->ProfileController->Profile =& new Profile();
$this->ProfileController->Project =& new Project();
$this->ProfileController->Email =& new EmailComponent();
$this->ProfileController->Email->initialize($this-
>ProfileController);
$this->_loadModels();
}
function main() {
$this->send();
}
function startup() {
$this->out('Cake notify sends emails of new Projects and
Attachments

$this->hr();
}
function help() {
$this->out('CakePHP Notify:');

Re: Display images outside webroot folder
When the images are uploaded do you save any information into your db that associates to the filename on disk? If you do you could use that model's controller and an action like getimage and then use the media helper to return the file. as in myapp/users/getimage/somename This can further be enhance with named parameters to match to a specific user myapp/users/getimage/uid:20/fname:somename Media View allows you to return binary data from a controller action with a specific header that identifies its type. The controller and model have access to the folders outside the browsers view and can read the file and return it as a specific image. http://book.cakephp.org/view/489/Media-Views I use this technique to track when emails have been read. One of the space.gif images in my emails has unique named parameter which ties it directly to a specific sent email. So when it is read the controller action updates the sent email as read and the gif that is returned is a file in my templates folder.

Re: Inflections + Naming Conventions Generator?
I've got a console task I've started that does some of this, I originally built it to figure out what cake was doing with a specific multi word table I had. But this is a great idea I'll work on my implementation a bit more and then post it to github with a follow up post to this thread. I think a console task over a web service will be cleaner because I will want to use my specific apps inflections.php file which has some additional rules like geese -> goose etc. as well as to be able to see the real full paths for my app in the right format for linux or windows. Really to be relative to my apps specific environment. some example uses might be: cake inflect table people cake inflect class person cake inflect controller cake inflect action cake inflect url controller/action/param cake inflect table people which would output all of the inflection info you should be using: Table: people fk: person_id ModelClass Person ModelPath /home/myfolder/myapp/models/person.php ControllerClass PeopleController ControllerPath /home/myfolder/myapp/controllers/people_controller.php etc. The ones I always get stuck on are the double words like: contact_events or contacts_events or contacts_event I've verified that it is possible to identify if a word is singular or plural and then maybe from that build out the rest If i can accomplish this then the command would be cake inflect people So cake inflect people would identify it as plural and build out all the output based on that. cake inflect person should then output the exact same info as cake inflect people with the model always equal to Person, table = people etc. We use inflection for models(Class, File, Table), controllers(Class, File, actionNames), views(Path, File) Any others that might be worth adding to this util let me know.

Re: $validate Does not work as expected!
You haven't shown us the structure of $this->data for all we know the mdate field does exist and is an array of datetime format which means its not empty even though the values of each name value pair in the array maybe Empty. Also what does your form create code look like. Do you have a hidden input field for the mdate. Are you creating the form with the formHelper. Just curious but why did you add this action to pages instead of a contact controller or element?

Re: translate behavior: no join for default language?
I would make the data schema design the same or consistent regardless of the language. Anytime you introduce a special case to your design you really complicate the supporting code for reading, writing and displaying the data. You'll end up doing all kinds of conditional checking for that one special case. So the direct answer to your question is yes it can be done, but the how to do it is going to unnecessarily complicate the code. And from a users stand point they won't see or appreciate the more complex design because from their point of view both designs would be viewed the same. If you need a default language make this a site setting not a hard design structure in the schema.

Re: Cannot send the email to more than one recipient.
I ran into the same problem a long while ago. And your right the to is a string but the component doesn't do anything with the $to var except pass it off to the php mail function. The way the php mail function processes the mail depends on how it is configured. If you search for "php mail sending to more than one email" you'll see almost all of the example solutions use a loop to send the same email to multiple individual 'to' emails. The php mail documentation indicates that you can send to multiple by separating with a ',' but I've yet to see anywhere explain exactly how to configure your mail subsystem to support it. I'm currently using postfix on my local dev and local server. Not sure exactly what my deployed host is using. The problem has nothing to do with the email component but rather with the email subsystem on the machine/host your running on. The php mail documentation also gives plenty of warnings about differences between windows and linux and weather or not you have a MTA running etc. I think a single to recipient is a better design pattern as it keeps the email address more private. It also allows better design for sending to large groups as I believe there is a limit to the number of email addresses. If I need to send to a group then I send to myself or a blackhole email address and cc all the others. The only reason I would do that is if I needed to allow or expected the recipients to carry on a thread via reply to all. I never did figure out how to setup my local mail system to handle multiple to recipients, and I figured I would run into similar problems with different host so I looked for a more manageable solution. I moved to the swiftmailer component to make better use of the SMTP and ssl connections thus by passing most of whatever mail subsystem was installed on the host and connecting directly to a known dedicated smtp server. However I still send the email to one recipient. You'll need to either send multiple copies of the same email to each person via a loop Or add the additional emails to the CC or BCC array.

Re: CSV Helper not rendering on web host, but works on localhost
I'd make sure your layout you are using for the csv is being copied out to your web host. If it is missing cake is going to use its default layout which is going to have the headers etc set for html/ text.

Re: Need CSV import: best practices?
I placed my csv import logic in my model and will probably move portions of it to a behavior as soon as I need to import more than the one type of model data. The reason for this is I needed to handle large record count imports where there was a substantial amount of related data in the imported csv. This processing of the imported data can be very time consuming and I didn't want the user to sit and wait for the import to complete as they don't need to deal with it all right away. And at times it would exceed my timeouts if I did wait for it. So in my controller I accept and save the imported csv file. The controller then calls the model to import the first X (50) number of records from the file and returns control and displays these to the user. An entry is added to my background queue to finish the import starting at record 51. The background queue takes place from a shell task calling the same code in the model. Having the import logic and decision logic in the model is easier to access from both the Controller and the Shell Task so I don't have duplication. It also provides a clean path for Unit Testing. I'm a big proponent of Fat Models for these same reasons. It simplifies testing, its accessible from multiple controllers and it simplifies use in a shell task. I realize that it is possible to create an instance of a Controller from a shell task and that its possible to test code in a Controller. However it is much simpler to use and test model code. A simple litmus test question is how can I test this code, and can I use it from other controllers and the shell if I needed to. That will tell you where your code should be placed.

Re: How i decode md 5 in cake php
MD5 hash is meant to be a one way process. The difference between a hash and an encryption is exactly that a hash is never really meant to be decoded where an encryption algorithm is a two way encode<->decode process. So you really shouldn't be trying to decode a hashed MD5. Perhaps your using the wrong type of algorithm to solve your problem. You'll get better answers when you provide a little more detail about what you are trying to accomplish.

Re: curl post vs. normal post?
Does entering the same path 'http://localhost/api-test/1/0.2/users/
auth.xml' from a browser give you a different error.
I think you are right in thinking this is a routing problem, but I
would assume it is a routing problem higher up the chain with your
environment not with cake.
Meaning it would appear your http://localhost/ is pointing to a cake
deployment, and that you do not have a proper alias setup in (I'll
assume apache) for your 'api-test' to point to your specific cake
deployment. So the server is hitting your root cake folder and trying
to process the request and parsing for the api-test as a controller
instead of an app folder.
What is your web environment (server, default or root directory etc.)?
How many different cakephp apps are being hosted from your localhost?
what are their aliases etc.

Re: validating login data fails because of md5
I would check what data is in your $this->data before you do the find.
I see in your select that the 'email' field came across but is there
appropriate data in your password field.
Beyond that is there any reason your not using the Auth component?
if ($this->Auth->login($this->data))

Re: Validation - specifying which rules to use
I think supporting that would move the business rules out of the model
and dirty up the controller. If you look at his second method of usage
you can specify a completely different validation set which still
lives in the model. This named validation can have a different set of
fields as well as rules to apply or to ignore. This keeps the model
fat and data centric and gives the controller the option to choose
which set of the model's validation to use. This also makes it cleaner
to test the validation.

Re: Validation - specifying which rules to use
There are ways to deal with this, often times you need to use
different validation rules for adding a new record vs updating an
existing record. Or sometimes as an administrator you want to be able
to override the validation that is to take place.
Jonathan Snook has posted a pattern of using the multiple validations
based on the controller action that is being called. So it is very
possible to do what you are looking for.
His article is here and should get you moving in the right direction.
If its not a perfect fit, it will at least give you some ideas around
how to specify multiple validations and then select the correct
validation for the current use.

Re: Set format for DATETIME in model
Why do you care about the format of the data in the data array?
The only time format of the date time should really matter is for
display.
And for display you should use the Time Helper in your views. It has
many functions for presenting date time. And if you need to you can
create your own class deriving from TimeHelper to add additional
functions.
Beyond that for my forms, I allow an open text entry for date time and
then use validation and php strtotime and date functions in my before
save to make sure the format is correct for the db.
In both cases the code is in the correct place display formating done
in the view. Data manipulation for storage done in the model.
I would not format the data in the array, I've had many times where
for one view, say an index, I want the short date displayed with no
time. And another view, say the detail of a single record of the same
model data I want to display the date and time using relative words
from the current date time, as in "18 hours and 22 minutes ago".
Keep the formatting of the display in the view, keep validation and
string input to modal format in the model, you'll be much happier down
the road if you do.
In my model I use code like the following to set the date based on
manual inputs as well as to post offsets from a given date:
$newdata['ContactEvent']['startdate'] =
$date_parse(date("c",strtotime("+$days days",$basestartdate)));
This one happens to be for setting the startdate of an event sometime
in the future based on the number of days.
In my views I also use a supporting javascript dropdown, this is not
required but it helps with bonds limiting etc.
http://www.frequency-decoder.com/2006/10/02/unobtrusive-date-picker-widgit-update
It has many options which can be set when creating the control in the
view based on other dynamic data. Here is a simple example of how I
use it for inputs:
$duedateClass = 'format-m-d-y divider-dash highlight-days-07 range-
low-'.date("Y-m-d",strtotime('last month')).' range-high-'.date("Y-m-
d",time()+(86400*365));
echo $form->input('completed', array(
'label' => 'Batch Completed',
'type' => 'text',
'size' => '15',
'class' => $duedateClass,
'error' => 'Completed date must be a date after
'.date("m-d-
Y",time()).' and in the format "MM-DD-"'));

Re: Duplicate Queries in MODEL->HABTM->HABTM->HasMany relationship
I agree with John,
And I would personally use a join query in this type of situation.
Your most likely not going to need all of the data that comes back
from normal cake binding. And normal cake binding is going to perform
multiple queries to obtain the data (this is not a bad thing, but it
does need to be understood). I've found anytime your digging that deep
into the data relations your also going after a fairly narrow slice of
the data. Joins will give you the exact data you need with a minimal
number of queries.
I've had a couple situations where I needed all the data from the
deepest relation. In this case I made a design change at the view
level and was able to break up that information into page-able sets so
the amount of data from any one query was limited.
I use to get quite frustrated with the number of queries and binding/
unbinding etc that was needed to get the data out of the models. To
the point of often writing functions in the model that would build a
sql select and execute it with a call to query(). I finally took the
time to really read and understand both containable, and how joins
work and have since gone back through the code and replaced all the
query calls with properly structured options arrays and find().
While reading about Containable keep in mind it is primarily a wrapper
around bind/unbind. So containable probably won't help you much for
performance on this issue as it will still generate many queries
(probably more than 144 separate queries in your case). See this
article which explains the problem with using containable in deep
relations.
http://www.endyourif.com/cakephp-containable-statement-pitfalls/
I still build up and test my sql statements by hand, then I figure out
weather I should use containable, joins, or both in some cases. When
at all possible I prefer to use containable because it is very simple
to read and understand.
A couple of questions to ask yourself when using joins is: "Are we
joining the data to filter the data or are we joining the data to
display some fields of the joined data? Do we need to display fields
from both/multiple tables in the join?" These questions are somewhat
important because of the way joined data is returned in the array. You
will want to write your join queries so the table which you want to
display fields from is the first table and then join the additional
tables for filtering. In other words its not always a top down select,
sometimes the data you really want is at the bottom and you only need
the parent model for filtering.

Re: User errors and fat model, skinny controller
You might want to take a look at the Loggable Behavior it has some of what your looking for in logging usage info. http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/logablebehavior There is also a WhoDidIt behavior which only logs who created/modified a specific record. I didn't care for this method as it required db structure changes to all models I wanted to log. http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/whodidit-behavior-automagic-created_by-and-modified_by-fields On Jun 8, 10:09 am, calvin wrote: > Thanks for your reply.

Re: User errors and fat model, skinny controller
I've been using fat model for a while now. It was difficult for me to get over what now appear to insignificant problems but at the time they looked huge. As the model's primary responsibility is to deal with data, I found it useful to always return something more than a boolean. So most of my model functions return a mixed data array. Part of that result array is a status structure which I can then refer to from the controller to display errors or redirect etc. This also allows the model to process a set of data and return an iterative list of errors. As an example I have a csv import which will process the first 100 rows of an import. Each row has the potential of creating an error, and the loop moves on to the next row. all these errors are returned in a single result. The model then passes the file to a background task to process the remainder of the rows. The controller displays via the view to the user the results of the first 100 rows along with the list of errors. I did this because some of these files are huge and would timeout. I can process 100 rows fairly quick and return control back to the user where they can see those newly imported records along with any errors. A second reason for this process is the model code doesn't know if it is being called by human interaction or via a cron script in either case the errors are also written to a logger which the user can review at any point in the app. In a previous post to this thread you mentioned you needed to redirect in certain conditions. Don't get your business logic (model) confused with your application flow (controller). A lighter controller doesn't mean there isn't any logic in those functions it just means there is less logic in them. Logic to control redirects definitely does belong in the controller and your model needs to be able to give enough information back to the controller to make those decisions. I've also found building test for the models is a lot easier than for the controller. If your using test do your best to write the test first. If your not using test, at least think in the mindset of the model code being called from human interaction as well as from a headless script. This will force you to deal with errors in a batch mode instead of one off exceptions. Overall your on the right track your making your model fat and you have identified the model is too deep for direct human interaction. I think there are many ways to deal with this without breaking the MVC pattern. My method explained above may seam too much for some, but having the errors logged and being able to review them has helped in identifying pieces of code which were in need of rework. A type of live profiling. Not so much of the performance but more so on quality and intuitive use or to identify poor assumptions on my part about the ability of my users.

Re: how to activate child afterDelete callbacks when i delete parent model?
The model call backs are only executed for the model being called and not for the associated models that might also be effected by the call. See the manual http://book.cakephp.org/view/76/Callback-Methods "Please note that these callbacks are not called when dealing with associated models; callbacks are only executed for the main model of a query." I would add a function to the Child model of cleanupImages(). Then in the Parent afterDelete iterate the children and call the cleanupimages function. afterDelete may be too late and you might need to deal with this in the beforeDelete of the parent depending upon what info from the child you need to properly clean up the images.

Re: Unitesting with Simpletest
Exactly what are you trying to test?
It looks like your trying to test the http POST and response
protocols, I'm pretty sure Apache and other web server engines have
fully tested those.
First make sure your logic is as deep into the model as possible. As
models are much easier to test than controllers.
The rest of this sounds like your testing the controller. The
controller is not exactly simple to test against however it can be
done. And you may need to use a few different MOCK objects to get the
results your looking for.
Mark Story has a couple of articles on how to test the controllers.
There is a bit of setup involved and you may have to create some mock
objects to accomplish the test.

Re: Is it possible to write common code in one function and i have to call that function when i was required
If the code is meant to transform or in some way CRUD or manipulate data and it needs to be accessible from multiple controllers, I would push it down to the model that it is associated with. then in your code you can call the function as $this->SomeModel->myFunction(); Pushing the code to the model will simplify using it from any Controller, and it simplifies writing test for the function as well. MVC -- weight the code in the same order heavy (M)odel, medium (V)iew and light on the (C)ontroller.

Re: Advice for personalized email (i.e. newsletter, mass email)
tcornett,
Swift Mailer handles persistent connections. It also handles
throttling and secure connections to smtp.
I've yet to find a component/plugin/behavior that wraps swift mailer
or any other mailer in a way that takes advantage of persistent
connections and throttling features. However the Component is fairly
short and might be a good starting point to just re-write in a
function that can handle the looping while in one connection.
I've written a task which i call from a background queue that uses the
swiftmailer component. And swiftmailer is very complete and simple to
use. From my app I add a bunch of task to the queue. Then in the
background those task are pulled and processed. Each of my email
templates use a variable replacement where I can do a preg_replace
looking for patterns like {placeholder} and inject to that placeholder
new content. Currently i'm making a new connection for each email
using the swiftmailer component.
This has been sufficient for my needs up to this point, but I may have
to visit this issue sooner than later.
The component needs to be updated to make use of the persistent
connection and throttling. But this may be a good start for you. The
component does have a couple CallBacks, but I think it would need to
be augmented with a singleton reference to the active SwiftMailer
Object then you could easily check if a connection was already open
and continue to use it.

Re: Retrieving objects from the DB instead of arrays
As Waither mentioned you need to fatten your model. And make your controller thin. You requested an object that represents your data. And the model is that object. It should return the data in an appropriate structure for your view. Any manipulation of that data should be done in the model. If you have a lot of conditional code in your controller modifying/ morphing the data you can almost bet that code is in the wrong place. Especially if your next thought is how do I reuse this controller function from another function. I think the biggest hurdle coming into cake from a non MVC background is getting your head wrapped around (M)odel. I believe the order of the acronym has some meaning (M)odel, (V)iew, (C)ontroller and that meaning is the importance and weight of the stack. Heavy on the model then the view with the controller as the lightest. The model represents our Application Data and is tied to the DB as our Storage Data but it is not a one to one field mapping of the table and sometimes isn't even tied to a db or table. Sure it most often starts that way as a baked model, but the model object is where most of your code should be that deals with transforming your Application Domain Data to and from the DB Storage Data. It is really the business logic of the data. It is the exact object you requested. The Model should know how to deal with the data and provide to the view exactly what it needs. You should not have to write additional code outside the model to adjust and tweak the data before it goes to the view.

Re: Custom flash messages
In your first post it looks like you may have had the closing ')' in
the wrong place, and the array was being passed as a second parameter
to the __() function and was never getting to the setFlash function.
You had:
$this->Session->setFlash(__(' Some Flash message here ',array('class'
=> 'flash_failure')));
In your more recent post has all three params for the setFlash message
and is not using the __().
but you probably could have restructured your first format as:
$this->Session->setFlash(__(' Some Flash message
here'),'default',array('class' => 'flash_failure'));

Re: Basic Auth & REST = Blackhole
The other potential problem is with the Security Component the Posted data needs to match what was sent out to the browser as the form data. When a from is created with Security Component enabled, the form creates a hidden field with a hashed data. This is checked on the post and black holed if it doesn't match. Since your posting via REST you probably don't even have the hashed data field in the posted data. I'm not sure exactly how to get around this or if the Security Component is aware the Post is a Restful post to do different logic. http://book.cakephp.org/view/175/Security-Component Not sure exactly why you think you Need the Security Component for Basic Auth. Basic Auth is available from the 'Auth' Component. I don't think you need both to accomplish your end goal of a Secure Rest service.

Re: Basic Auth & REST = Blackhole
Try setting security level to low. If that works your session is probably being reset do to the Host name at the PHP level from the setting session.referer_check which is set for both medium and high security levels.

Re: Cake-Shell and Components
This is how I have done it as well. The difference between the Shell
and the cake website is the Shell loads pretty much nothing for you.
The Cake Magic is fairly week at the shell level. I don't think that
is a bad thing, but you do have to load up and build bind your objects
using standard php techniques.
You might also want to look at http://github.com/MSeven/cakephp_queue
which could help with your overall goal of offloading process intense
events or background processing which has nothing to do with the UI
that needs to be returned to the user.

Re: Auth losting authentication with no reason
This often times has to do with how PHP's session is setup. The Cake Session object is a wrapper class around the PHP Session so your still using the servers session if you want to understand Cake's Session it would be worth your time to learn the basics of php $_SESSION and what can be done with it. One common problem is if the link you are following is from a different HOST the php session has a session.referer_check which is set to the HTTPS_HOST for security high and to HTTP_HOST for security medium, it is not set for security low. This causes the session to be reset if the referer is not the host that is being called. In other words if you followed a link from an email or some other server that points to your app. This also presents when going back and forth between the root app/domain and a root/sub app/domain because the the HTTP_HOST can changes (if one site is using blah.blah.com and the other is using localhost or ip address) Often we all have code to read in a cookie to remember a user that has previously logged in. This often just masks and hides the problem. So we don't notice most of the time when the session was dropped until we start to rely on a saved value that we thought we saved to the session or when the user cookie expires and we are redirected to the login page. So these often times appear very random when in reality they are not. If your having what appears to be intermediate session lost, its very likely its occurring more than you think. Some debugging is needed. The only difference I can determine between security medium and security low is timeout duration and setting the php session.referer_check. I was always concerned about using low, but I've learned that medium and high only get in the way. So I use low and deal with security measures in my app_controller to control which referer I allow to access specific controller actions. This is better anyway (for my app) as before it was all or nothing. To monitor your session info and see when its changing I place some log statements in my app_controller beforeFilter and or beforeRender. $this->log(__CLASS__.'.'.__FUNCTION__.', line:'.__LINE__.', request:'. $this->name.'.'.$this->action,LOG_DEBUG); $this->log(__CLASS__.'.'.__FUNCTION__.', line:'.__LINE__.', Session.id:'.$this->Session->id(),LOG_DEBUG); $this->log(__CLASS__.'.'.__FUNCTION__.', line:'.__LINE__.', Session.error:'.print_r($this->Session,true),LOG_DEBUG); I use the third line to get some detailed debugging, one thing you'll notice is the sessions error will be set to "Config doesn't exist" and the Session will still be valid. With referer_check set or security set to medium or high, any link pointing to your site from another host will have this error and the session will restart on the following redirect (which is valid behavior most of the time). This was a problem for me as I was passing control from an asp server to a cakephp server using a user token and telling Auth to log the user in. The user would get logged in and then I would redirect to the intended controller action at which point the session would reset and the user would be asked to login anyways. Setting security to low cleared this up. I hope this helps some of you I know I spent two days debugging and trying to understand exactly what was going on with my session. The loggin mentioned above proved to be the most help. Be concerned if you see alot of sessions with the error "Config doesn't exist" and try setting security to low.

Re: Model Associations - just feels wrong
The problem I see with your model is in your ZipLocation you have the code set to a PK. The Problem: It is often thought that a zipcode belongs to only one city. And that a city can have many zipcodes. There are no such rules in the postal system. One zip code could and often overlaps many city boundaries. Especially in rural areas. So your ZipLocation Table as it is defined could not have records like the following without violating the PK: 84087, Woods Cross, UT 84087, West Bountiful, UT I see this design quite a bit and this is where you will run into trouble. But probably not until you get quite a ways down the path of development and start adding a bunch of data. You should follow the naming scheme for table names and special field names like (id, [fkmodel]_id, name, description, created, modified) this will help tremendously during the baking of your model as cake will pick up all the appropriate hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo, etc. This will also help in your building your forms for creating your dropdowns and autofill text as if your models have a name field it is used in the dropdown. I don't like to see user data stored in the PK. If you need it to maintain uniqueness (which you don't want to in this case) there are other ways to guarantee the user data is unique. PK and FK should be for the data relations, and program use only. I would review section 2.4 of the manual http://book.cakephp.org/view/22/CakePHP-Conventions which talks about all of the file naming, model and database, controller and view conventions. Creating the tables as below allows you to have multiple cities in the same zipcode and still maintain proper relations between the tables. Your Model relations still remain as Location hasOne ZipLocation, State hasMany ZipLocation, ZipLocations belongTo Locations, and ZipLocations belongTo States. And your Form can display the proper autofill selections when the user enters 84087 or any other zips that might have multiple cities. -- locations -- id (PK) name street1 street 2 zip_location_id (FK) ... -- zip_locations -- id (PK) zipcode (indexed) city state_id (FK) -- states -- id (PK) code name Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Ideas to manage open voting
I'd say without a login that is verified against a real email with a postback token verification there is no real way to do this. You could store a cookie in the browser, which could be cleared by the user and re-vote. You could tie it to the IP like you suggest, but the IP your server see's is only the ip of the publicly visible router. There may be many machines behind this one IP, And besides that its not the computer thats voting its a person. You could ask for personal information which everyone will just lie about. I've seen many voting designs. I've never heard of anyone trying to do it open successfully. Every valid voting system has some way to validate the user is real before they allow the vote. I'd say if your really going to go down this path, associate the vote with the IP address and a time duration say 1 day or 12 hours. That would at least take care of someone scripting the vote. But you may miss out on some votes and hopefully most people would not be interested enough in sabotaging your results to put the effort into visiting the vote every day.

Re: Concept of seamless registration
I think your going against the grain of web security issues. All my banks, paypal, ebay, amazon etc. Have been training me and everyone else on the web NOT to follow links in our emails to login to our accounts. They suggest we manually type the URL and login to the site with our known username and password. For advanced users who know to inspect the link before clicking this isn't much of a problem. But if you have novice users they are going to be very leery about using such a system as it goes against the security protocols they've already been taught by more pro-dominant players on the web.

Re: Multiple Select Question - Only add choices?
the array('multiple'=>'checkbox') is a nice feature, but I think your

I ran into a simular situation.
I built a foreach loop that creates each checkbox individually.
In your case if your going to set the checked value you would also add
a disabled attribute.

Re: How to save data in an different table than the controller table when no relations?
One more item on this setup. You can create relationships in your model to bind the temp records as children to the original record. To do this you create two relationships in the model. var $belongsTo = array( 'ParentBook' => array( 'className' => 'Book', 'foreignKey' => 'temp_id', 'conditions' => 'Book.temp_id is not null')); and var $hasMany = array( 'TempBook' => array( 'className' => 'Book', 'foreignKey' => 'temp_id')); once this is in place you can use the containable behavior to include or exclude the children or temp records.

Re: How to save data in an different table than the controller table when no relations?
Chris, I would suggest keeping the data in the same single table Books
with a flag that identifies it is a temp record.
The way I do this is I create a field called temp_id by default this
field is NULL. When a user modifies a record you set the original id
into the temp_id and unset the original id:
$this->data['Book']['temp_id'] = $this->data['Book']['id'];
unset($this->data['Book']['id']);
$this->Book->save($this->data);
That creates a new temporary record in the books table where temp_id
refers to the original record.
For the normal index etc I set a
'conditions'=>array('temp_id'=>'null') this way the normal users do
not see the unapproved changes.
The admin view can then use the same model view to see both records
side by side to review what has changed. If the admin approves then
you read from the tempBook record and update the originalBook record
which reverse the changes above and save to the original record. After
the save is done you delete the record with the temp_id.
Load the data as in:
$originalBook = $this->FindByID($id);
$tempBook = $this->FindByTemp_id($id);
In a couple of my models I also have a temp_version which increments
so that I may have multiple changes from the original record. The
admin view becomes a little more complicated but is still a matter of
setting the data using the one model.

Re: falsefalse
Which vs of cake are you both using?
Also you may want to read this post which talks a little bit about
containable and hasmany relations. Breaks down when it will work and
when it won't work. Maybe that will give you some ideas about what
might be wrong with your setup or how your making the calls to get the
data your looking for.

Re: Different logic and view for each group
Control what is displayed to the end user in your views as mentioned before. Control user auth and access in the controller via the ACL or other User auth implementations You'll also want to make sure your Controllers are very user aware. Just because the link doesn't show up in the view doesn't mean someone isn't going to try and visit the link. Especially after seeing the simple human readable structure of the url /product/28. Never try to secure your site via the view or by simply hiding the available actions from the user. The controller should be the place you verify that the user is authorized to call it. Even more important is remove the parameter data from the url and add it to post data when the call is destructive. Like in a delete. don't request product/delete/28, post product/delete with post data so your controller can verify $this->data['Product']['id'] and also some other hashed hidden field which gets changed and verified. Security Component handles this hash for you and can verify that the field data provided matches what was given. http://book.cakephp.org/view/175/Security-Component I prematurely deployed a site which was not properly secure and woke up one morning to an empty database. I know others have posted the same thing and found that search robots had traversed the site and stumbled on the many fascinating delete request. Now a day this is the first thing I take care of when building a new site. Nothing like learning the hard way to really make the lesson stick ;) Lunar Darco Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: cakephp shell not validating before entering into db?
My guess would be that not all the supporting imports are being
loaded. The shell by default does not load much more than is necessary
to run the shell commands. So I've found that most of the time you
need to build up the shell environment to support what you will be
using.
I would try adding this to the top of your shell
App::import('Core', array('Controller','Component',
'View','Model','Router','Validation', 'Behavior'));
Also in my shells I've had to instantiate many of the objects. In
other words the cake magic just doesn't exists. So in my shell's
Initialize I have the following: (this shell deals with a controller a
couple models and a view to send some emails on a cron job.
function initialize() {
//$this->Controller =& new Controller();
//$this->Component =& new Component();
$this->ProfileController =& new ProfilesController();
$this->ProfileController->uses = array('Profile','User');
$this->ProfileController->Profile =& new Profile();
$this->ProfileController->Project =& new Project();
$this->ProfileController->Email =& new EmailComponent();
$this->ProfileController->Email->initialize($this-
>ProfileController);
$this->_loadModels();
}
You could also verify that the Behaviors are loaded by dumping $this-
>Issue->Behaviors or checking to see if it is null. If it is null then
you will not have any validation available.
In the Model class the chunk of code that does the check your
referring to follows the following stack You could add some debug code
to these functions to identify what is different in the environment
between accessing via the web vs the shell.
save(), validation(), invalidFields(), exists()
You might also want to take a look at this page in the manual as the
path environment is also important especially to the imports. Your
shell may not know where to find the right path to import the
behaviors etc.

Re: How to dynamically create validation rules
You could also take a look at this example which shows how to have different validation based on which action was called for the controller. So you can have a validation based on the 'add' action which is completely different from the validation you might use on 'edit' or 'update'. It also shows how to implement custom/dynamic validation that executes code which means you would be able to do some other Model lookups to verify against. I was headed down the same path and have come to realize that most of what I thought I was going to need custom code validation for was dealt with nicely by the the different action validations. This is an article by Jonathan Snook well written and easy to implement. http://snook.ca/archives/cakephp/multiple_validation_sets_cakephp/ Lunar Draco Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Answering a recurring challenge from clients
@Zaky: I would have to say that I turn away more work than I ever get to keep in house for the very reasons you mention. If there is already something that does what the customer needs I don't want to reproduce it. For instance, I have some very specialized shopping carts which deal with variable content creation for printing. These specific carts are NOT built using cake they are built on .NET. Our sales team is constantly bringing me customers who want to sell their next great wiget thinking they can just host them on this .Net store. But they don't qualify to use the .NET variable based shopping cart for various reasons primarily the cart isn't built for static items, and as the data for the item is custom to a specific user a login is required, which just makes generic anonymous cart shopping difficult. Most of the time I help these customers setup a Yahoo, Amazon or some other store system. I definitely don't write a custom cake app. Do I have shopping cart and checkout features? Sure I do, but the client has to need a lot more than just a cart before I implement/deploy anything for them. So of course we evaluate the projects before we take them on. And there are a number of possible deployments in a number of platforms, languages, databases, etc. These are often presented to the client as alternative options and most of the time the better option over writing a custom app. However if they have a need, and I have not found a descent solution that won't cost more than building an app. Then I have some say in what I am willing to manage for them. Quite honestly I don't want to write the next great blog system or shopping cart, etc. I want to solve real business problems for real business clients. Most of my cake apps are integration apps to deal with moving data between systems written by Companies that refuse to talk to each other or are just to big to care. The advantage of using cake here is I get a nice web front end to monitor/manage the integration as well as cron job support from the same code base via console. Sounds like over kill, and it probably is, I'm sure for most of it I could have used any number of other platforms or scripting languages. But I'm efficient in PHP and cake. The clients love being able to view the info via a browser with built in links that take them to the other systems. In other situations, the client doesn't want to have a bunch of different apps to manage what they do, and after they have a system up and going, they love the turn around time for new ideas. The best ones start as an integration between multiple systems. followed by feature request which eventually replaces one or more of these other systems and grows into an app that really fits what the company is trying to accomplish. I can't remember the last time I sat down to architect design and build an application from start to finish. It just doesn't happen like that. So in that sense your right. But the original post was more of a new client looking to deploy a new CMS. Without all the details I stand by my original post. With more details I'm sure I would have started with some other system. We don't have to agree! And there is nothing quite like a good debate!

Re: Answering a recurring challenge from clients
For my point of view, I want to be designing and building new code to solve specific client problems. I do not want to be configuring someone else's already poorly designed and implemented system and trying to figure out how to solve problems that are created by using said system. So I tend to focus on those issues. I usually explain the pit falls of using a system that is common, popular, etc. 1. You'll have no advantage over your competitors who are using the same systems. 2. It will be bloated and have many features you don't need or in some cases don't want and have no way to disable. 3. It will be missing those feature which your business needs that separates you from your competitors. 4. You'll be stuck using plugins that are written which are close to what you need but never quite get what your really need. 5. You give up your ability to request a feature and have it implemented in a timely fashion. 6. You'll be paying to solve problems which have nothing to do with your business just to make this popular software fit. 7. Integrating your other systems to this popular system will not always be trivial. We are a development group, we use solid tools, and languages that are well known in the development community. We use patterns that are proven for both stability, and the development time line. We use an agile weekly cycle. You will have something to start looking at within a week (it takes less than a day to deploy my shell site). We will meet regularly, and identify feature priority. We (my group) already have a bunch of common modules in place with our starting shell (users, profiles, acl, large file managment, shoping cart, etc.) these are all highly configurable and very easy for us to modify as we wrote them and have the source. My goal is to be able to have a system which can be deployed with those things that are common to all web sites, and have a high level of confidence in being able to easily build on top of that core those client specific needs in as little time as possible. We have a good base shell and we improve that shell with every site we build on top of it. This also improves every site we've already deployed.

Re: Couple of REST questions
Check out the manual for Custom REST Routing. You'll want to use
custom instead of Simple as simple sets up routes for edit and delete
which you stat you do not want. So you will need to set a custom route
for each one that you do want to support.
http://book.cakephp.org/view/478/Custom-REST-Routing
Also with your routes set as long as you have your views defined in
the view/xml folder you should get xml, if the view file doesn't exist
in the xml folder I believe the default action is to return the normal
view.
You'll also want to place the RequestHandler as an included component
of your controller which will help in automatically identifying
request type and setting the proper return layout and view type.
var $components = array('RequestHandler');

Re: parent/child navigation best practices
I've found over the course of many years, that there are no hard fast rules to this. There is not one single pattern to follow. Primarily because the relationships and when you want to see the related information is based on context. In other words sometimes you want to see the related information because it has meaning in that context. Other times the related information is meaningless or even confusing in other context. Same information same relation different context. I tend to build view that combine the output of many action/views via ajax. And present the appropriate information at the right time. I mostly use the basic actions of index, view, edit. making use of ajax to place those child view actions inside the parent view container. The best public view that demonstrates this well is Googles contact management. Now googles contacts is NOT built on cake, but the design follows very well the MVC model quite well and is easy to see the different models and how they relate all on one page. The main content is a list of contacts on the left and to the right is a child view which changes depending on the number of contacts selected. This Child view content changes based on the context of what is selected in the list. you'll note the contact hasmany emails, hasmany phones, hasmany addresses, hasmany dates etc. They are displayed as though they are one record in context of the single contact that is selected. If multiple contacts are selected the contact view information is not displayed as the information is meaningless with multiple contacts selected. What is displayed is options to do actions on those contacts that are selected, Delete, Merge, assign to Group etc. If no contacts are selected the child view contains general help information about what can be done in contact management. The child view in my cake version of contact mgt is loaded via ajax calls to the contact/view/id. The supporting models in this context are displayed those would be the emails, phones, addresses, etc. The contact/index only needs to display in the list the Name. However I still build up portions of the supporting models emails, phones in a seperate div for popup text when the user hovers over the list item. If they want further info they can select the contact and it will load the full view as described above. Again I think you'll find there is no rule or pattern that covers all as the relations are only relative in certain context.

Re: Add Fields
To solve your problem without irritating the end user I would start the form with one empty field under your User Defined section with an "add" button/link to add additional fields to the form. The Add button should use ajax and client side script to insert additional fields to the web form. Next to each additional Field I would place a remove. With this UI structure you maintain a single form, the UI is not cluttered with a bunch of empty fields, and your not arbitrarily limiting any user to a specific number of fields. All the work of adding/removing fields occurs at the client without the need to do round trips to the server. Your model relationship is already setup. However you will need to do some additional work in the Controller to parse out the data in the fields and save it to the Many side of your relation. For a good live example of this type of Web ajax UI take a look at Googles Contacts in gmail. When you edit a contact you can have unlimited phone numbers. But it is all done in the one form. Using ajax to add or remove the additional phone numbers. The underlying relationship is Contacts have many Phones. They use the same model and concept for the Contacts Email, Phone, Address and Website. I really like this UI structure because it solves the very problem you've presented in a very intuitive way for the end user.

Re: MySQL takeover by Oracle - petition
Isn't it nice to have a descent data layer like we do in cake. Granted it might be a few days work to switch from MySQL to something like PostgreSQL for a decent sized project. But you probably have a few years before we ever get to that point where we are forced to do so. Don't sweat the small stuff enjoy the process of change and growth. I've seen a lot of changes since the 1980's in computer science where everyone reacted like it was the end of the world. Very few would go back to work in that environment leaving behind the tools and technology we have today. Things change, if they change for the worse thats too bad because those things occasionally die off. But I guarantee that those things that don't change and remain stagnant definitely die. I really don't think we should have any fear about what the future of MySQL holds for us. Its new changes that we all have an opportunity to still contribute to.

Re: Need help: How can I use xdebug to debug Cake shells?
I've always setup my shells to call a Controller Function.
This way I can do all the testing on my shell by calling the
controller function from the browser.
The only thing you put in your shell function is a call to the
Controller function.
Setting things up this way makes it possible to add a controller
function to your cron schedule for background tasks etc.
Setting this up takes a little more work as the Controller will not
have been created yet.
As an example one of my shells is called notify and it sends emails
based on state changes inside a controller. This is scheduled to be
called by the cron system via the shell command once an hour.
Alternately I can call the controller function via a web browser
anytime to force the notification or to see if anythings qualifies for
the state change.
In the shell you need to create and bind your controller and models
the traditional way with php in the shells initialize function. You'll
note in the shell function send() all I do is call the controller
function ProfileController->notify() to do the work. This notify
function is the same function I can call from my browser.
There is a variable that is set in the cake app object I believe which
can indicate weather the call is from the shell. This might be useful
for you in your controller to determine which layout to use.
function initialize() {
//$this->Controller =& new Controller();
//$this->Component =& new Component();
$this->ProfileController =& new ProfilesController();
$this->ProfileController->uses = array('Profile','User');
$this->ProfileController->Profile =& new Profile();
$this->ProfileController->Project =& new Project();
$this->ProfileController->Email =& new EmailComponent();
$this->ProfileController->Email->initialize($this-

$this->_loadModels();
}
function send(){
$this->ProfileController->notify();
}
good luck.

Re: validate as hour
This regular Expression will force a number between 0-23
Raw Reg ex:
^1?[0-9]{1}$|^2[0-3]{1}$
I'm remembering for php some of these char in the regex provided need
to be escaped.
Formated for PHP:
/^1?[0-9]{1}$|^2[0-3]{1}$/
And here is a good on line real time tester for regular expressions:
http://www.regextester.com/
To break down the regular expression
^ - Start of line
1? - means the number '1' for 0 or 1 occurrences. This is used for the
first char of 10-19
[0-9]{1} - means digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 for {1} exactly one
character this covers 0-9 and the second char of 10-19
$ - End of line
| - or condition Match the previous set (0-19) or the following set
(20-23)
^ - Start of line
2 - the number 2 for the first char in 20-23
[0-3]{1} - means digits 0,1,2,3 for {1} exactly one character. This
covers the 0-3 or the second char when the first char is 2
$ - End of line
var $validate = array(
'hour' => array(
'required' => true,
'rule' => '/^1?[0-9]{1}$|^2[0-3]{1}$/',
'message' => 'Only numbers between 0-23'
)
);

Re: cakephp recursion
I've seen this before in a couple of my own projects when you've only
specified that 'Post' in your case is containable.
You may also want to check that all models being used in the contain
statement have defined
var $actAs = ('Containable');
Since all your models seem to use containable you may find it easier
to add this to your appModel class.

Re: Learning cakePHP debugging
$activeUser = $this->User->find(array($this->Auth->user('id')));
Not sure I understand why you set the active user with this line:
as $this->Auth->user() should contain everything you need from the
user model.
After a user is logged in you never tell the auth component that the
user has logged out. So even after logging out this->Auth->user
contains a valid user.
I suppose after you've logged out and you click on your login link
from the home page it probably never asks for new credentials and goes
straight to the start page.
At the end of your logout you should be calling:
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
That will clear the $this->Auth->user() object and you can test for it
via:
if($this->Auth->user())
You'll want to set in your beforeFilter:
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'home');
which should take care of your redirect to the home page when a user
logs out.

Re: FreeTDS mssql works from php but not from cakephp
Updated! Solved!
I found the problem. I noticed in my php only testconn.php file that I
do not specify the port because connecting to the mssql via FreeTDS is
a mapping connection, the only thing you need to specify is the name
of the map you setup in the /usr/local/etc/freetds.conf file. Mine
looks like:
[wapps01]
host = 192.168.0.92
instance = SQLEXPRESS
port = 1433
client charset = UTF-8
tds version = 8.0
and my connection statement in the testconn.php file looks like:
$link = mssql_connect('wapps01', 'sa', 'casper');
The real host, port, instance etc are defined in the freetds.conf file
very much like a windows ODBC DSN.
After further inspection of the line of code dbo_mssql.php, line 144 I
noticed it was appending the port number 1433 to my server mapping
name.
I corrected the problem by adding the 'port' => '' to my database.php
default config as in:
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mssql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'wapps01',
'login' => 'sa',
'password' => 'casper',
'database' => 'ChemDry',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
'port' => ''
);
I could have also corrected the problem by adding a definition in my
freetds.conf file of [wapps01:1433]
Thank you for being my sounding board and I hope this helps someone
else in the future.
For further reading on setting up freetds for use with php on unix
accessing an mssql I followed the example given here:

FreeTDS mssql works from php but not from cakephp
I have a microsoft SQL server that I need to connect to.
It has fields that are of type 'Text' which I can not read or write to
with the dbo_mssql.php.
This is a Unix->mssql issue for data type 'Text'
There are a couple of ways to get around this. one is to load FreeTDS
which I have done.
I created a simple php file which uses the built in php mssql
functions mssql_connect, mssql_query, etc. this test file is able to
connect and query and display the data I need.
So I next setup a cakephp project with a db config as:
class DATABASE_CONFIG {
var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mssql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'wapps01',
'login' => 'sa',
'password' => 'password',
'database' => 'mytestdb',
'encoding' => 'utf8'
);
}
When I visit the home page for the cake app to see if it passes all
the default test I get the following error:
Warning (2): mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to
connect: Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist (severity 9)
[CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_mssql.php, line 144]
Has anyone been able to connect to mssql database that uses 'text'
fields?
Has anyone been able to use FreeTDS to connect to mssql from cake.
Looking for some quantity of suggestions or ideas on how I can further
debug this problem and get to a solution.
(I'm really starting to hate microsofts lack of support for non
windows access.)

Re: 1 Account with Multiple Users?
Your verbiage describes clearly what structure you need to create. I have a very similar structure with a few of my sites, because I support more than one authentication via www.rpxnow.com which is a service to support OpenID so my users can associate their account with multiple login services (Google, Yahoo, Facebook) this enables them to use an already existing UserName and Password which they don't have to share with anyone. My site uses these other sites to authenticate I get a token back which confirms the association and I grant them access. Your request really has nothing to do with Authentication. The authentication role is still the same weather its the Primary User or a Secondary User. You should create a structure like this: Accounts have many Users Users has a Profile Users belong to Accounts Users have and belong to Groups (or Users belong to Groups) I like to set this one up as a many to many relation. Accounts have and belong to Groups Mine is simular, however I have Company instead of Accounts as in Companies have many Users Users has a Profile Users belong to Companies Users have and belong to Groups Companies have and belong to Groups Then using the auth component each user can be authenticated as normal. Using ACL, ACOand ARO you can assign rules for specific members or spacific Groups to be super users for that specific company with rights to manage the users for that Company. Also each Account or Company could then be assigned its own set of access rules. So really I do believe you get what your looking for out of the box, once you get your models setup correctly and make use of both the Auth components and the ACL components you should be well on your way.

Re: Created & modified fields automatically populating in models
You also might want to make sure your tmp/cache/models is flushed out. If you had originally setup the user table without the created and modified fields the schema of the model would have been cached that way. If they were cached cake will use the cached version of the schema and may not be seeing the created and modified fields. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Performance different between cakephp 1.1 and 1.2
Add a log statement to your AppController.beforeFilter()
function beforeFilter(){
FireCake::log($this->name,$this->action);
}
I've had several occasions while integrating Auth and other components
where I've created a situation where a single controller was being
called in a loop fashion because I provided the wrong controller
action to the component etc.
This statement will show you a stack trace of your requestActions.

Re: Cake performance tips
I would start a simple test with two different database. one very small with at least one but no more than 5 records per table. Then do another test with a database with at least 1000 records in the tables that you would expect to grow. If your code is setup correctly with view pagination etc. the time between these two scenarios should change very little. If you see a huge delay difference with the 1000 record database, then you definitely have some bind or containable work to do. If both scenarios are slow, your going to have to look a little deeper at your code. As an example I had a wicked loop in my Auth and Menu system which generated 250+ querys for something that should have only been 13. Add to that a lazy find on my groups table which was bound to my Users via a HABTM mapping netting more than a few thousand users being pulled in for every cycle in this loop. I guess my point is cake is very flexible. Flexible enough to let you dig yourself a pretty deep hole. The DebugKit and FireCake has proven to be a priceless set of tools for debugging (mainly because their free) and they are very will put together, great examples of how to write plugins. I would add a couple log statments in your app_controller beforeFilter. spit out the controller and action that is being called. This will show you a nice trace of what your app is doing. I find this a good practice to run every once in a while. If you want a real test write down on paper what you think the trace of your app should look like for say logging in. Then log in and compare I'm going to bet there some stuff happening that you wouldn't expect. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

After I sent the message to the group I implemented RPXnow last night and I agree with you completely in this doesn't belong or fit well with your component. Actually I'm not sure it even requires its own component. There is so very little code to make it work and to integrate it into your existing users I think a clean example would be more useful. Now I can authenticate via the legacy Cake Auth, I can authenticate via the OpenID Component (Great component by the way) and I can authenticate via RPXnow. I think the problem with OpenID is its still a little immature and if I provide enough UI to help those who don't understand what an OpenID URL is, my login page starts to look like a bunch of random sponsor links. However I'll take that over the 100's of username/passwords I have for all those sites visit. ;) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

RPXnow OpenID
Has anybody started work on a plugin for https://rpxnow.com/ which is the replacement for idselector to help assist non geek users in logging in using OpenID? I really like the idea and concepts behind OpenID. The problem seems to be that users don't realize they have an OpenID and even when they finally realize they already have one knowing what the url for their openid service isn't very intuitive. https://rpxnow.com/ helps solve some of that problem of knowing what the url is by making it visual and provides a nice UI and remember me feature for one click pass through after initial validation. Plus it offers Profile Info sharing so the user doesn't have to retype all the same profile fields in every site.

Re: Problem with email component after upgrade to 1.2 final
> If you use 1.2.1 stable it should work as expected without any extra > calls. For me, I'm using the email component from the console shell. The console shell doesn't load up hardly anything automagically, so in my case it is required to make the call. This shell is then in turn called by a cron job to periodically check our ftp site for updated files and send out notifications. The logic for this check is done within a controller. So my shell loads the controller, then creates and loads the email component. Associates the email component and controller and then I call my action in the controller. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Problem with email component after upgrade to 1.2 final
I ran into the same problem. The change that was made was in version 7969 The startup function mention by brian was replaced in the email.php with initialize so that it could be used easier by other components. My code that used this and got the same error used to look like: $this->ProfileController =& new ProfilesController(); $this->ProfileController->Email =& new EmailComponent(null); $this->ProfileController->Email->startup($this->ProfileController); I had to change the last line to: $this->ProfileController->Email->initialize($this- >ProfileController); And everything worked fine for me after that change. So Brenda in your SendEmail function of you custom component you may need to call something like this: $this->Email->initialize($this); The initialize function takes a second parameter for settings as an array that I'm not using but it may help minimize the amount of calls to $this->Email->property = value; calls.

Re: Separating user and profile tables
I use EAV because I have multiple clients using the same user/profile
code. Each client wants a different list of profile fields. I found
myself rewritting the same code slightly different each time. It was
time to automate some of that process.
I have two models Profile and ProfileFields. The ProfileFileds has its
own set of admin actions, Model, controller and view set for adding,
updating the ProfileFields.
In the Profile model itself I have a few fixed fields which are
available for everyone "First Name","Last Name", "email" and also my
foreign key to bind to the user.
> Actually, I can't see how using EAV would mean that updating
> view/models would be unnecessary. If they don't change, what's the
> point in adding new attributes?
The view of the Profile is generated from the data in the
ProfileFileds so It is not being modified manually there is some logic
behind this that generates the display elements. Pretty much like how
cake bakes in the first place. This one just bakes on the fly based on
the available ProfileFileds. Each ProfileFileds recorde has a Group
Level for when the field should be visible so each users gets a
different set of profile fields based on which group(s) they belong
to.
The goal of dynamicly adding a new profile field presents a problem
with existing users of getting them to fill in the new field.
This is solved by checking if the profile for a user is valid when
they login. If it is not valid redirect to the proifle edit. Now when
I add a new field the next time a user logs in he is redirected to
fill in the new field for his profile.
if(!$this->Profile->validates()){
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Your profile is out of date or missing
new required fields. Please update your profile.',true));
$this->redirect(array('admin' => false, 'controller' =>
'profiles','action'=>'edit', $this->data['Profile']['id']));
}
I've started to convert this user/profile code to a cake plugin
because the power of cake Plugins make it possible for this User/
Profile plugin to be deployed into any of the apps I create. My apps
are primarily intended to be deployed/run within my client companies
LAN, because the data is somewhat sensitive to that client company.
I agree if this were a single site with a single app the EAV pattern
does not make sense. But my goals are to broaden my client base and
reduce my time to deploy for those clients. User Authentication and
Profile info is almost always a required part of the app and almost
always has a different set of fields. Cake's plugins have really
helped with that goal. And a configurable plugin minimizes the number
of different User profile MVC logic I need to build. I will have one
configurable plugin to maintain for many different sites.
Remember these development design patterns exist for a reason, that
reason is to solve a specific problem. It may not always be clear up
front why the pattern was used when thinking or looking at a single
app. Clearly if the EAV is not solving a problem for you then you
should not be using it. Perhaps your app or goal has different
requirements and the problem you are trying to solve does not benefit
from the EAV pattern.
I intend to make public my User/Profile plugin once it is fully
refined and I have the time to properly write a clean article
explaining all the the objects and what they do. A lot of this code
has come from many different post's and ideas generated in these
forums its only right that I share back to the community. The first
release of this plugin will use Auth but does not use ACL. However I
know ACL is an important piece of the puzzle for some apps, I'm just
waiting for it to mature, or rather I'm waiting for my brain to mature
enough to completely understand cake's implementation of ACL.
