Problem with afterFind for associated tables
We are using Cake 2.2.2 and we have the following tables -
Article - id, group_id, town_id, ...
Group - id, town_id, ...
Town - id, ...
The Article and Group tables need to modify their data with data from the
Town table, so in each of those Models we have an afterFind callback that
checks for the presence of Town data in the results and if found does the
updates.
This works fine for the primary model. However Group is also an associated
model to the Article table, so if I execute the following find function -
$this-Article-find('all', array('contain' = array('Town', 'Group',
'Group.Town')));
Cake does run the query and assembles the data correctly, but the Group
afterFind callback is called without the associated Town data, even though
it is part of the query. As far as I can tell, the Group-afterFind is
called before the queries for its associated tables are run.
I'm looking for an elegant way to do this within the model, rather than
resorting to putting the code in the controller.
Thanks in advance

Re: Problem with afterFind for associated tables
After experimenting for a while, I discovered that Cake actually calls my
afterFind function twice for each matching row, but with different data
formats -
The first time in the form - array(array('Group' = ('id' = ...)))
The second time in the form - array('id' = ... , 'Town' = array('id' =
...)) so I do get the Town data. It is rather unfortunate that the data
formats are different as it makes the afterFind code rather ugly.

Re: How to use two view(controller) in a page??
I am assuming you have a route that routes to a specific controller/action,
e.g. pages controller, index action.
Then in you home page view View/Pages/index.ctp -
pWelcome to my home page./p
div id=news-summary
h2News Summary/h2
?php echo $this-requestAction('/news/summary'); ?
/div
div id=login-form
?php echo $this-requestAction('users/login'); ?
/div
Then, in your News controller, create and action - summary, and a view file
summary.ctp.
In your Users controller create action login (which should also handle the
POST request when the user logs in) and a login.ctp view file.
Then when the home page is rendered, the news summary and login forms will
be displayed.

Re: Subquery in join clause in CakePHP 2.2
Glad to. After some reading I was able to take it a step further and turn
it into a custom find method, which nicely encapsulates the code in the
model. In our app we 'broadcast' articles to a number of different towns,
but because we also do a radius search that can result in duplicate rows
being returned. So I needed a function that does a SELECT DISTINCT on the
joining table to get unique ids, in the form of -
SELECT ... FROM articles Article JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT article_id FROM
articles_towns WHERE town_id IN (...)) ArticleTown ON
ArticleTown.article_id = Article.id
I decided to create a custom find method named broadcast.
In the Article model -
public $findMethods = array('broadcast' = true);
protected function _findBroadcast ($state, $query, $results = array()) {
if ($state == 'before') {
$query['joins'] = array(
array(
'table' = sprintf((SELECT DISTINCT article_id FROM articles_towns WHERE
town_id IN (%s)), TownsComponent::neighbors()),
'alias' = 'ArticleTown',
'type' = INNER,
'conditions' = array('ArticleTown.article_id = Article.id')));
return $query;
}
return $results;
}
In the Controller -
$this-Article-find('broadcast', $options);
or
$this-paginate = ('broadcast', $options);
$this-paginate('Article');
In my case the list of town is in a static component, but could easily be
passed in with the options. I think you will agree it can be done in a very
tidy way with Cake. With older versions of Cake I used to see example code
that was much longer than the SQL it generated and thought, what's the
point, why not just use SQL? But I'm growing to like the new abilities of
Cake and you can really minimize the amount of SQL you need to put in your
code.
Disclaimer - there may be better ways to do the same thing that I have not
thought of.

Re: Best Practice to display data in layout or view
Option 2. is fine for simple stuff, i.e. grab a bunch of data from the database and render it, but if there is any complexity to the logic, then you end up loading your helpers with application logic, which in a pure MVC world belongs in a controller or component. So in that case, requestAction would be the purest approach but suffers the overhead of re-initializing the environment each time. Ideally, there would be some middle ground approach, which currently you have to roll yourself, by instantiating a new controller and calling the appropriate method yourself.

Need help with reverse routing
I'm looking for some help with reverse routing as the documentation is a
bit thin. Particularly for use with rendering objects such as
PaginatorHelper.
I have a URL in the format - /state/city/page/slug which I route with -
Router::connect('/:state/:city/:page/*', array(
'controller' = 'pages', 'action' = 'display', 'level' = 'town'), array(
'state' = '[a-z][a-z]', 'city' = '[a-z]+', 'page' = '[^/]*', 'pass' =
array('page')));
That works fine in the forward direction, but how do I get the
PaginatorHelper to assemble the URL with the state and city pieces?
If I add another route for ajax requests, such as -
Router::connect('/ajax/:controller/:action/*');
That also works in the forward direction, but the URL generated by
PaginatorHelper in the previous case now generates the URL in the form -
/ajax/pages/display/...
So How do you tell the reverse routing which rule to use?
If I need to resort to a custom router, how do you tell the the Cake
rendering functions to use the custom router?
Thanks in advance

Perhaps you can modify that to your own needs. With Cake 2.x I've had
to make some changes to what I had been using. I suppose that I must
be doing something wrong that it requires the AppController snippet.
I think your route could be improved a bit:
Router::connect(
'/:state/:city/:page/:slug',
array(
'controller' = 'pages',
'action' = 'display',
'level' = 'town'
),
array(
'state' = '[a-z]{2}',
'city' = '[-a-z]+',
'page' = '[0-9]+',
'slug' = '[-a-z]+',
'pass' = array('page', 'slug')
)
);
I've added the slug to the URL, which allows you to pass it as an
action param. Otherwise, I'm not sure what good it would do you.
I've also made a better regex for state, and sluggified city -- a
name with a space or apostrophe would not match your regex. Because
you want the city name to appear in URLs, you'll need to store both
the display text and slug for each city.
As for what's being passing as params, personally, I would pass state,
city, and slug. I also think it's a bit odd that this is pointing to
PagesController. But then, I don't know the details so ...

How override base URL in PaginatorHelper
We are migrating an app from Cake 1.1 to 2.2.1. Our URLs are in the format /state/town/page/slug and I have got the Router setup to forward route correctly, but have not got reverse routing to work yet. In function such as Html-link you can specific the URL as a string or array, so you can set the correct URL. However the Paginator function Next and Prev appear to only accept the URL parameter as an array which is not creating the correct URL as it does not override the base url. Is there a way to force the base URL as with the other functions, or do I need to create a custom router?

Re: Why is composite primary key bad?
One possible exception might be HABTM tables, consisting of just the foreign keys to the related tables. MySQL only supports clustering on the primary key and using a composite primary key would give you a covered index, which in theory should perform a bit better. Though in practice, I have not found much difference and usually add an integer primary key column to those tables as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Hello,
Another way to do this is to have one controller requestAction to fetch
(as array or objects) all the data you need to render your modules, then
using Elements or View Blocks to do the actual rendering of the modules.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing to assemble the modules. With view
blocks, we can divide the page into panels and create a view block for each
panel, so by specifying a panel attribute in the module, we can render each
module in the specified panel and assemble the layout in the common view.
That part is working very well.
However, suppose the content editors want to write an article about farmers
markets and they want to display a list of farmers markets in the local
area, we can tell them to embed something like
{/organizations/list/tag:farmers-markets/radius:10/count:5} in the content.
Or somewhere else they want a list of music events, then we would tell them
to embed {/events/list/tag:music/radius:75/count:10}. So by passing that
URL to requestAction, it will call the appropriate controller and action
and return the rendered content. It keeps the code simple and modular, in
the spirit of MVC. We are doing a form of that in Cake 1.1 right now but
the rendering time is a bit longer than I would like. I suppose we can
create our own version of the dispatcher, though I'm not sure of the
benefit vs. maintainability.
As you say, caching is important and we do do that, so really it is the
first time hit that counts.

Re: Is there a lighter weight alternative to requestAction?
That's the dilemma we are facing. The traditional MVC paradigm where a URL maps to a controller and action is fine for simple sites, but for more complex sites the model falls apart. Our site started as a straightforward MVC design, but then the users wanted to add their own landing pages and control what appears on each page. It is not practical to create a new controller/action/view for each new landing page so the site became a hybrid of traditional MVC and a CMS with the ability to embed active content. @Florian, that's essentially what we are doing. For the updated design, we are routing all requests to a single controller/action/view and using a Helper to embed modules in the content. The module positions are represented by tokens in the content, so we don't know which modules to load until rendering the view. As most of the modules are active content we need to use requestAction to assemble the module content from data in the database and render in the view. Because requestAction loads a new environment it adds a significant overhead especially when loading a lot of modules. And it also involves a bit of a kludge to change the routing on the fly. It is working, but I feel it could be done in a cleaner, simpler, more efficient way, but I am struggling how to figure out how to do that and stay within the Cake paradigm.

Is there a lighter weight alternative to requestAction?
We are migrating our site from Cake 1.1 to 2.1 or 2.2. The site is highly modular which gives the site admins the ability to choose and position modules on each landing page. Many of these modules are mini MVC blocks and we are using requestAction to render them. So there can be as many as a dozen requests on a page, which as the documentation points out, can be slow as Cake initializes a new environment for each request. The documentation talks about being able to specify the controller/action directly, to bypass the router, but that does not work, the code just uses the router to convert the request to a URL before creating a new dispatcher. I'm wondering if there is a lighter weight way of calling multiple MVC blocks in a single request? I have been looking at the new event manager, but it is not clear whether it can be used to render a view. I'm curious whether anyone else has had the same problem and come up with a better method? Incidentally the new view blocks in 2.1 are great and really work well for a modular design.

Re: Model Associations Question
In you code you have 'className' = 'Bookings'. Shouldn't that be
'className' = 'Booking' ?
You should also be able to shorten it to - var $belongsTo =
array('Booking') as you are using booking_id as your foreign key.

Sorry, I'll repost this - my database is Bookingdate not Bookingnight
Hi
Im having some trouble with a model association - yes, I have tried the
manual!
For each Booking I have, I can have many Bookingnights
*Booking*
Booking.id
*Bookingdate*
Bookingdate.id
Bookingdate.booking_id
In my Booking model, I am able to get all the associated Bookingdates
without issue.
var $hasMany = array(
'Bookingdate' = array(
'className' = 'Bookingdates',
'foreignKey'= 'booking_id',
)
);
My problem is when I try and go back the other way. I have my
Bookingdate.id, and want to get the associated booking.
I would think that it should be belongsTo in my Bookingdate model?
var $belongsTo = array(
'Booking' = array(
'className' = 'Bookings',
'foreignKey' = 'booking_id'
)
);
== Doesnt Work
Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

Re: Slightly different models, merge or separate?
You could consider storing your measurement data in a single column in the measurements table as a JSON string. Thus the logic would be very simple as you only need to convert to and from JSON. The downside is you won't be able to easily query against values in the measurement data. Anything you want to include in a query should be in a separate column. Mark On Monday, June 25, 2012 4:12:43 AM UTC-4, Poyan Nabati wrote: *How should I implement this on the backend?* - *Two models.* I thought of having two models, Goal and Measurement, where Measurement has a corresponding field in the database called value that's agnostic of it's contents (in other words, a VARCHAR that I interpret differently depending on context). I believe, however, that this approach will create a lot of special code for each of the different cases down the line. - *Many models.* Another way to do it would be to create NumericMeasurement, BooleanMeasurement etc etc for each of the different measurement-types. In Goal I could have a field that indicates the type and create the association Goal hasMany (each of the measurement types). Do you see any problems with this approach? Is there another, better approach that I haven't thought about?

Re: One model, multiple pagination in a single view with conditions?
You can only paginate one way at a time, so presumably you can set the
associations dynamically depending on the parameters from jQuery. Though
separate models might be cleaner as you can hard-code the associations.

As the title suggests, is there a simple way to do this?
Or should I create a separate model?
Here's the code:
$this-paginate = array('limit'=30);
$this-Hashtag-Pin-bindModel(array('hasOne' = array('HashtagsPin')),
false);
$this-set('hashtag', $this-paginate('Pin',
array('HashtagsPin.hashtag_id' = $id)));
$this-set('thought', $this-paginate('Pin',
array('HashtagsPin.hashtag_id' = $id,'Pin.url'=null)));
So I need to paginate 'hashtag' and 'thought' separately. I'll be
attaching infinite scroll jquery to both.

Re: URGENT - NEED HELP IN ASSOCIATION HABTM
Often it is easier to create a model for the linking table, i.e. OrderProduct and use belongsTo Order and Product rather than using HABTM associations. Then query using that model.

Re: How get Exception Handler to use plugin layout?
Majna, thanks for the tip. That inspired me to think about it a bit more and I figured it was simpler and cleaner to set the layout in bootstrap.php where the plugin is loaded. That is working well.
