Re: how to add a relationship whit other key different to the PK
Sorry for not noticing your reply until now. In that case you might get away with simply telling the relationship that the foreign key is software_id.

Re: Limitations to plugins for app modularity - are there any left in cake 1.3?
My experience tells me that almost all of your limitations did not exist even before 1.3 - plugins couldn't access or extend app's models They could. I did it regularly. - code in the app couldn't access a plugin's models They could. But I would not recommend doing it. (IMHO an app should not break when a plugin is missing) - plugin did not have callback capabilities in their appController like app did (eg. beforeFilter, etc.). They did. - plugin's views had no way of integrating with cake's theme'ing I don't know about themes at all so no comment. - plugin controllers couldn't be managed by Auth/ACL Auth: they could. ACL: no idea. The main gotcha I can think of is the dot notation for targeting plugins. Pizza.PizzaModel or Pizza.PizzaComponent and similar. I have an app that is made up almost entirely of plugins. Only login/ logout and statistics and reporting are the visible features residing in the core. The one hack I made to the 1.2 core was to let urls get a bit shorter by not requiring the namespacing part of controllers in plugins. / pizza/pizza_orders is messier than /pizza/orders But this was purely cosmetic to get prettier urls. On May 11, 7:57 am, keymaster ad...@optionosophy.com wrote: In the past (cake 1.1, and to an extent cake 1.2) there were limitations to plugins which prevented their use as a means of modularizing your app's code.

So, there was originally no intent to have them integrate fully into any app. As a result, many people avoided the use of plugins as a means of modularizing their apps, and instead defined additional paths to all the cake pieces using the variables for that purpose in config/ bootstrap. This way, you could have full modularity without any of the limitations of plugins. With all the good new development in plugins since cake 1.2 and 1.3, in particular the ability to have js/css located inside the plugin they apply to, I am musing over the possibility of converting all my additional paths folders over to plugins. However, I am scared that I will trip over some unknown plugin limitation which will become a showstopper. So the question is: in cake 1.3, are there still limitations to plugins which native app code doesn't have, or are plugins for all intents, fully considered as additional controllers/models/views to the main app, and can integrate freely as any other app code can?

Re: Limitations to plugins for app modularity - are there any left in cake 1.3?
I think you are reading two posts as one. I only mentioned using plugins for all visible features except a very few... nothing about paths. And to clarify about the app I refer to: The app is made up of many plugins.. not one common plugin. There is a lot of common functionality in the main app... just not exposed as visible features. The app is plugin-based to enable quick development of new features and variations of similar features without changing the central application. The main menu simply lists activated plugins + user management and reporting. Each client may have an infinite variation of plugins activated based on their contract and needs. The central app does a ton of model stuff and other validation and also a fair bit of component things that plugins can make use of. It is all really very straight-forward... but a bit complicated to explain. I tried on my website and the bakery a while back: http://www.eimermusic.com/articles/designing-a-modular-application-using-cakephp-plugins/ http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/designing-a-modular-application-using-cakephp-plugins On May 11, 2:29 pm, AD7six andydawso...@gmail.com wrote: On May 11, 2:25 pm, AD7six andydawso...@gmail.com wrote: On May 11, 2:12 pm, keymaster ad...@optionosophy.com wrote: Actually, believe it or not, many of these issues did exist, but admittedly it was a very long time ago. For example, it wasn't until late 2007 (Oct./Nov. timeframe if I remember correctly), that the ability for app code to access plugin models was introduced into the 1.2 branch through the use of the Plugin dot notation. Prior to that it was impossible. Not by oversight, but by intention. Plugins were intended to remain optional, decoupled code from the main app, and were not meant to be a means of organizing similiar functionality together. As an example of the feeling towards app organization/modularity back then, I actually dug up this comment by Gwoo (former Project Manager of cake) from late 2007: Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems some are using plugins to organize parts of a larger application. To me, you are on a slippery slope here to basically negating the whole benefit of a plugin and just making it more work on yourself. Using the config/bootstrap.php to organize your MVC requires a lot less code and should yield the same benefits. That thread is here:http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/8526219c... So, you can see it was originally intended that plugins were not for organizing application code, only for sharing amongst developers. As a result there were several limitations to how apps could use, or more specifically could not use, plugins. While it's true that some plugins are optional and the app should not depend on them, other plugins might neeed to be an integral part of the app, containing code which was just separated off for the purpose of grouping closely knitted functionality together, within the larger app. In that sense, models in one plugin might need to have associations with models in another plugin. (eg. Order belongs to Account, or Order HABTM Warehouse, where accounts, orders, and warehouses are all in different plugins). The limitations back then (I believed based on discussions in this group, though I never tried it) prevented the use of plugins for grouping together functionality within the app. So, I and many other developers used the additional paths to group things together. At some point in cake v.1.2 a number of these limitations were removed, and in 1.3 yet more were removed. So, I'm wondering now that 1.3 is out, is there still a reason to organize apps using the additional paths in config/bootstrap? I think it's safe to say that a quote from 2007 isn't fair justification for not just trying it. I've used plugins almost as long as they've existed and can't remember having any problems at all worthy of 'holding back'. AD PS additional app paths and plugins don't solve the same problem, I'm kind of scared what you've been up to if for you they are interchangable. For me additional app paths is for using exactly the same app with different css a different db whilst maintaining one code base. even so the app contained only auth and user logic and a contact form - the rest was in a common plugin.

Re: Bakery...arrogance or plain lack of attention
I have a few articles published in the Bakery. This does not make me an authority on the subject but Since my first one was back in 2007 (I think), before it was even called the Bakery, I do have some experience of it over a pretty long time. My personal set of guidelines for writing articles are: - Write and edit, preview and check... a lot. - Only publish once. Don't ever edit a published post unless you are at gunpoint. - Instead post additions or edits as author comments. - Keep the rss feed of comments to each of your articles in your feed reader. - Respond to real comments and delete spam comments. (I only delete spam I am certain of) I have developed some of this due to the sometimes very slow moderation process. A spell-correction once lingered for many weeks. This is of-course frustrating. But, if everyone took great care to check their articles before publishing their content I believe the process would be significantly quicker. Other points in my list are there to improve the quality of the article and to take on a small part of the burden of comment moderation. By keeping track of comments and responding to them you improve the quality of your article and the Bakery as a whole. Even if it is just a tiny improvement, it is something everyone can do. No forking required. ;) I believe that the main problems that need to be addressed in the software are related to spam. It if not perfect in most other respects, few things are, but the spam comments are the most urgent problem. They also take up a lot of time, I imagine. (There is also the thing where an author can't delete his/her own articles.) The other frustrations I have experience from time to time are probably more due to human resources, or a shortage thereof. It is important to point out that the people involved are NOT the problem... the rest of us, not involved, are so to speak. I am sure that with more insight one could see ways of improving the software that would streamline the work of moderators. /Martin On Apr 26, 3:10 am, Graham Weldon gra...@grahamweldon.com wrote: Most definitely.

Cake needs a centralized/official article/plugins repository. There are just a few things that need to be fixed is all. Even if someone were to fork the Bakery, it would not be as successful/useful.

1.3rc4 and saveAll, strange return values
I wanted to get some input on the return I get from Model::saveAll(). (I am on 1.3 RC4) When trying to save multiple records of the same model things did not save at all at first due to the new validation default. I needed individual validation so that correct records would save but invalid ones would be tossed. So I have added validate true like so: $this-Modename-saveAll($this- data['Modename'],array('validate'=true)); Problem is I now expected an array of return values, one for each record as hinted at (somewhere, can't find it now) but I all I get is false. Even though 3 out of 4 records are saved. I was under the impression that saveAll would return an array for these partial successes. Perhaps not? With validate set to first I do get an array back... but only an empty one.

Re: composite keys to identify a record
In conclusion @Renan: Composite keys are a very normal part of database design but not in any way supported or very compatible with CakePHP. Either you have to access that data via your own queris (no find and save), not use the core Schema Shell to dump the schema ,and a bunch of other things you loose. Or, as suggested, you complicate your schema a tiny bit by adding an extra id field and get to use all the cake stuff. Just my 2¢ I have only once found it preferable to stick to a multi-key (or zero- key in that case) table. That table is a WORM table for reporting data containing only a single data field and about 10 foreign keys. Since the object is to pull stats you will never ever find a single record. You will group on the various keys in different combinations to get graph data. Cake can be forgiven for not supporting that kind of table. Personally I think the classic HABTM joining table would haven been more worthy of support, seeing as there are so many of them in any given app. But I feel the topic has been discussed to death before. I don't want to start another discussion about database-religion. /Martin On Apr 18, 12:07 pm, Jeremy Burns jeremybu...@me.com wrote: And Cake will just 'deal with it', without you having to do any work.

Tip: MongoDB-Datasource undocumented feature
I did not know the datasource could do this and almost didn't try it as a result. Don't make the same mistake. Yasushi Ichikaway has developed a very nice datasource for MongoDB. http://github.com/ichikaway/mongoDB-Datasource/ Mars Story wrote a very nice intro post about it. http://mark-story.com/posts/view/using-mongodb-with-cakephp After looking at the github page and reading Mark's post I was convinced that only ordinary scalar values were supported by the MongoDB datasource. The source lists only strings, integers and stuff as datatypes... not objects, arrays or hierarchies in any form. The good news is that deep nested arrays of data are supported. THis is a big deal and I don't want anyone else to give this plugin a pass just because they draw the same conclusions I did. From my experience, any field defined in the schema can be an array and contain any hierarchical data.

Re: the plugins dont work at all
Hi, Plugins do work. I have whole apps build with a limited core and numerous plugins (22 of them in one case). I can think of a few details to double-check. I don't think you should have plugins named in camelCase. Try naming the folder and the urls you try pizza_order instead. (The plugin in the manual is simply named pizza btw) app/plugin/poll/ the plugins folder should be named plugins (with an s). You write it in singular form without the s in one place. Plugins must have the equivalent of pizza_app_controller.php and possible pizza_app_model.php too. Without them the plugin will not be found. At least that was the case when I started using plugins, it may have changed but I still have them in each plugin. The final detail I can think of is some rewrite detail messing with you. Unlikely but since I never run apps as anything but their own vhost I can't be 100% how plugins react to being in a subfolder. (as in localhost/apname/) Those are all long-shots but they are all I can think of that might be the cause. Good luck. /Martin On Apr 16, 5:28 pm, islam4hak islamco...@gmail.com wrote: hi why i cant accses any plugin i create ? i make the manual tutorial to create the pizzOrder plugin but i cant access to it /pluginname/controllername/action so i bake another plugin but i cant access it to app/plugin/poll/ i tryhttp://localhost/appname/poll/ it dont work Error: PollController could not be found.

Timezone management advice
Hi, I have found myself in a position where I need to support correct times across timezones. I'd love any advice and gotchas from those experienced in timezone management of a Cake app. I have gotten a bit bewildered by the complexity by something that looks to simple on the face of it. I need to support time-conversions correctly and I don't really see full support for it in either Cake or PHP. The Basics: The server may be in a different timezone from the user and users may be in different timezones. Times in incoming data (posts, uploads...) need to be converted to Server Time. Times for display need to be converted to Client Time. Some complexities: You can't sniff the client timezone from the server-side without (reportedly unreliable) ip-geolocation lookups from the non-free providers (reportedly less unreliable). So, I need javascript or I need to ask the user to choose. I'd like to avoid asking the user. Some timezones use DST. Some do not. Dates when DST are in effect vary from location to location... and (big sigh) year to year. That is basically the broad view of my knowledge of the problems involved in time-conversions. Am I making things needlessly complicated for myself? I really need the timestamps to be correct for the type of app I am developing. Serious things can happen if they get screwed up by only an hour. The kind of things that cause multi- million dollar lawsuits and put companies out of business. I don't want that. :) Please fire away with your advice and experience on this topic. /Martin Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: cake schema run update gone crazy
I'll update the thread with some findings after rooting through the code a bit. Looking at the source I found out that -f does not force 'generate' to create a new schema.. It is used To force generation of all tables into the schema... but not only that. It can also be used to force update to ignore the Model classes in the same way as generate and therefore update a schema generated using the option. So, Schema Shell appear to do all the important stuff I need... more testing will confirm. On Mar 25, 4:59 pm, Martin Westin martin.westin...@gmail.com wrote: Ah. Thanks for the hint.

Re: 1.2.6 strtotime error
That should not be a Cake 1.2.6 problem but a php 5.3 problem. (or even possibly 5.2.10 or something) I had this error notice way before 1.2.6... and the fix is exactly what you paste... to set the default timezone so that php is happy.

Mongo without a schema?
Hi, I thought I'd see if any user or contributor to the MongoDB datasource can answer this question. The datasource is this one by ichikaway: http://github.com/ichikaway/mongoDB-Datasource The datasource strangely requires each model to define $_schema in the class definition. I say strangely since being schema-less is one of the main benefits of Mongo, Couch et.al. It would be interesting to get some insight into what make this a requirement to gauge wether it would be fruitful to try to find a way past it. I can see that a lot of the Model class referencing $_schema to for various reasons but I haven't looked into it in depth yet. I ask before I spend countless hours trying to do something that might almost end up as a rewrite of Model itself. thankful for any insight you may have Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

My Cake app presented at CES keynote
I have been working on the same Cake app for the past two years. A lot of it has been a bit hush hush but last week we were truly outed by Qualcomm. Check out our 3 min segment from the Keynote: http://www.greatconnection.se/en/ces The system transmits medical images from echo machines (ultrasound), CTs, MRs or any similar digital x-ray type device, to any mobile phone, any email inbox and a few social networking apps.

Re: adding/updating additional fields in HABTM's join table
Of-course there is :) The trick to getting some control over the join table is the with key. http://book.cakephp.org/view/83/hasAndBelongsToMany-HABTM This tells Cake to use your class file for the join model and any methods and settings in it. Mariano also has a good write-up of how to get the join table working as a real model. http://marianoiglesias.com.ar/cakephp/modelizing-habtm-join-tables-in-cakephp-1-2-with-and-auto-with-models/ And finally Teknoid has aa very short and clear post about how to actually save the extra data. http://teknoid.wordpress.com/2008/09/24/saving-extra-fields-in-the-join-table-for-habtm-models/ On Jan 18, 9:36 am, Ernesto e.fanz...@gmail.com wrote: Hello. as the title says is there any way to add/update additional fields in HABTM's join table?

Re: coding practices with models
I feel the same way sometimes. It is tempting to use model methods as $record-method() in a way similar to an object-based ORM (e.g. Rails, where class methods are used for finding and instance methods are used for record manipulation). But the way Cake works it is a bit dangerous and I would recommend following John's advice. /Martin On Dec 28, 1:39 pm, John Andersen j.andersen...@gmail.com wrote: I use the model class as the maintainer of the individual record and the provider of a collection of records. So in your banana example, my model would know what to do when a controller stated that peeling the banana was required :) Whether or not to read the banana into the model depends on the situation you are in - is the banana currently being viewed, then the model already has the banana - but if the banana was just one of many selected by the user for peeling, then the model would need to be provided with the id of the banana to peel, read it from the database and then peel it :) I would not let the controller know whether to read the banana in the model, that is the models responsibility, to ensure that the correct banana is being peeled :) - so the controller would just provide the id to the model through the peel method and the model compares whether the current banana is the requested one! I usually separate the model methods into those that works with an individual record and those that work with a collection of records. On Dec 28, 4:14 am, Christian cdamiani...@gmail.com wrote: When i come across situations that I feel needs to be coded inside the model I'm not sure whether (form the perspective of the controller or a different model) to treat a model as an object, or just as a collection of class methods.

Is it correct to instantiate the Banana $this-Banana-read(null,$id); and then call the method $this-Banana-peel(); and in banana.php: function peel() { //since this method was called on a specific instance //it should have access to it's private variables (tuple from the database) } OR do i just call the method on the id and sort that out in the model $this-Banana-peel($id); then... function peel($id) { //need to instantiate the banana first before we can operate on it $this-Banana-read(null,$id); } I'm curious about the practices of some of you regular cakers. thanks Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Containable query
Well, Containable will not do what you want in this case. Containable will not limit your primary result-set by conditions on some associated model. Logically it might be said to flow like this: Your query will find all Users since you have no condition to limit the users. Each User will also contain it's Student if it has one. Each such related Student will contain it's Submissions if it has any and student_id is null. What you want is a join. One that returns only if there is no record to join to in the submissions table. You can do joins a bit Cake-like. Pass 'joins' and an array of parameters to find. It is not well documented in the manual but Nate wrote a great article for the bakery about it: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/quick-tip-doing-ad-hoc-joins-in-model-find You don't have to build anything like what he suggests but at least it contains some examples of using the joins key. A quick googling gave me this page detailing some variations of joins that might help you figure out which type of join you need. http://www.wellho.net/solutions/mysql-mysql-joins-using-left-join-and-right-join-to-find-orphan-rows.html /Martin On Dec 3, 1:53 am, Bryan Paddock bryanpadd...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm... nobody have any ideas?

Re: HABTM questions
About the pagination: http://book.cakephp.org/view/83/hasAndBelongsToMany-HABTM Look at the bottom. The last examples abut binding can be used to let paginator deal with your habtm. When it comes to finding related data find is better than read. But probably find('first') in this case since it does more or less the same as read. Use Containable to specify what and how deep you want your data returned. That should do it...

The first question I have is when I'm doing this operation $this-Container-read(null,$id); How do I paginate the assets. right now I am only testing so there's only 2 assets linked to the container. Am I assuming right that there would be an endless number of assets? If not, still, how do I paginate this data? Next question is, each asset can be one of three different tables, Photos, Profiles, Blogs. Each of these models has a hasOne relationship of asset_id in each model. How do I get the read() function to retrieve this data automatically? My first instinct is to put a nominal field for each potential table of photo_id, profile_id and blog_id and update the model for Asset with the hasOne of each.. This way it will grab the data right?

Re: download API documentation and book
These will not be the great answers you were hoping for. It is just my DIY way of dealing with the problem you describe. On the start page of The Book (left sidebar, at the bottom) there is a link to all in one page. I go there. Get a cup of coffee while it renders and then save it as a pdf. Then I have a searchable offline version. Unfortunately you can't really do the same with the api... but then again you have the source code. The API is generated from that directly. I often open the cake core as a project and search for various things. I use Textmate which means I also get a quick index of the methods in a class just by opening the source file. I imagine other editors have similar features. /Martin On Dec 3, 11:42 am, Lorenzo Bettini bett...@dsi.unifi.it wrote: Hi is there a version of APIs and book documentation to be downloaded for offline browsing? thanks in advance Lorenzo -- Lorenzo Bettini, PhD in Computer Science, DI, Univ.

Re: Delete confirm
Really interesting thread guys. I often resort to just disabling SecurityComponent (I know) when I run into the black hole of death a few times and can't figure out why. Is there a good way to debug SecurityComponent problems so that dealing with specific issues on some forms can be less hit and miss? For example, I'd like a log or output or something telling me exactly why my post was denied. Was it because jQuery did the submission? Because a field doesn't have a corresponding Model? Because... things like that.

Re: CakePHP performance 1.2 - is future any better?
I can only agree with all these suggestions and add a little beauty i was introduced to recently. X-Sendfile is a great for performance if you do any file output from php. It offloads all the actual output of the file to the webserver (nginx, Apache, lighttpd...). For me, implementing sendfile for all file output was a 10-minute job and I improved download speed by about 25% when testing to my home- computer... and the cpu load showed that receiving an email was more CPU-intenceive than sending a few dvd-image-sized files with nginx. I believe that is what they like to call low hanging fruit in corporate bullshit (that is a real language you know). (I did also spend a few minutes finding out that nginx wants paths relative to a configured folder while the other two main players take a full system path) /Martin On Nov 24, 8:12 am, Crazy crazy...@gmail.com wrote: Judging by your setup I believe you should start using a profiler, and optimize your code a bit or take a better look at why your machines perform poorly.

Don't know how far you've optimized everything, like ppl say, use an opcode cacher(APC in my experience is the most stable) and do other things like gzip, fix your keepalives, use cdn, etags, In cake, also don't do any find('all'), always specify the fields you need, don't use recursion if you don't have to, cache large sets of unchangeable data in memcache. Use a profiler(I use XDebug), every ms you can optimize will lower the load. From your description it sounds like an inefficient setup or code.

Re: About multilingual websites
Hi, For 1: If Cake has trouble figuring out where your app is (for some reason). The simple workaround is to specify it with the full path: /Users/thomaus/Sites/MyApp/cake/consol/cake -app /Users/thomaus/Sites/ MyApp/app i18n extract That is the foolproof and disgustingly verbose way of making sure you target the right app (= how to call the console from cron). For part of 2: Plural forms are explained sort-of correctly in that post. The problem is that they depend greatly on the language you translate into. First is the header in the .po file which specifies how this language treats plurals. Second is the actual messages that will then need to add plural forms to match the header. But not all messages need plural forms!! Only single words that are translated in a plural-senitive way need them. Normal singular translation will likely be 99% of what you do: msgid this is just a string, no plurals needed! msgstr det här är bara en sträng, inga plurala variationer behövs! Then there will be things like date and time formatters, translated paging labels and things of that sort: msgid second msgid_plural seconds msgstr[0] sekund msgstr[1] sekunder My advice is to stay away from too many single words and plurals in your translations. My reason for this is that synonyms rarely match that well and generally the quality of the translated copy will suffer. It is a lot simpler for a translator to read entire sentences and to re-work them for the new language. Remember that you can put variables into the translation strings and that if you have more than one you should make sure their order is changeable. /Martin On Nov 24, 2:48 pm, thomaus tho...@saimiris.com wrote: Hi, Thanks for your answer. 1) I tried to do ../cake/consol/cake i18n extract from my /MyApp/ app/ path and it says: Welcome to CakePHP v1.2.4.8284 Console --- App : app Path: /Users/thomas/Sites/MyApp/app --- What is the full path you would like to extract?

Re: CakePHP performance 1.2 - is future any better?
Maybe someone should answer the original question: Will future versions improve performance? 1.3 - most likely not too much. 2.0 - this will likely see some more significant improvements since php4 is dropped. Any advancements after 2.0 are also likely to offer improvements as more and more code is php5 optimized. On Nov 24, 3:38 pm, Javier javier.cor...@gmail.com wrote: CakePHP performance is really poor.

Re: addons.mozilla.org soon will leave CakePHP..
A lot of their reasoning is solid but part of it sound like classic 1.1 issues. They note some of it in their google spreadsheet. Reading partly between the lines it sounds like they don't like Simpletest, the cake shell and php4 limitations (=ORM with array- data). With that one has to understand that they compare Cake's roadmap with other frameworks and feel that they will be better served by a framework with, for example, object-based ORM today and not at some point in the future. @jburns, @Okto I have been building stuff with CakePHP for almost 4 years (on and off) and I can still recognize the worry you guys express. Will Cake survive?, Is everyone abandoning the sinking ship? and thoughts like that can easily crop up when you hear things like this. Back in 2006 the question was wether a rails ripoff could survive at all... Cake is still here among numerous competitors more or less inspired by Rails. Just remember... The Mozilla team are not (afaik) the driving force behind CakePHP. They have been big users and probably quite big contributors. They have provided a real-world showcase and test-case for big deployments that have probably helped find optimization bottlenecks and things like that. Also, in relation to the whole li3 thing, the last time CakePHP had a big crisis (core members disagreeing in public in early 2008 I believe) it ended up kickstarting the final push towards 1.2 stable. Mark really started to make himself known as THE driving force behind a lot of the work and improvements and bug fixes sped up. CakePHP is like any open project... some people leave as others join and the fate of the framework is up to you guys, me and anyone who cares to make any contributions they can to it. You can and certainly should consider other frameworks, that is just good sense. But you hopefully chose Cake for a reason and I hope that reason was not that Mozilla used it :) Also, a lot of what you learn now will translate quite well to other frameworks. /Martin On Nov 18, 5:07 am, Okto Silaban o...@silaban.net wrote: Maybe some of you haven't heard about this..

Re: Timeout in Internet Explorer but no other browsers
I'll say from the start: I don't have the answer to your question. I reply simply to clarify some points and ask for a few more details. IE spends 12sec loading before displaying the error on one page. At the same time IE spends 3min loading on another page before displaying the same error. Is that correct? If so, it does not sound at all like a timeout. If other browsers take similar amounts of time but successfully display the page, then a php memory problem is unlikely. More likely is a (small) problem in your output or headers that make IE go nuts. You get no error, warning or notice from php during the execution? (I assume you are at debug 1 and have not in some other way suppressed php's error output) You are outputting html? Not xml, xls, csv or any other type of generated file, right? My best advice for you is to not fix this problem but instead fix your report-gathering so that it does not take 3min to process the page. I suggest you look into aggregating and caching your data so that the pages do not have to do the calculations each time. Data from 3 months ago is not going to change is it? So, if you can process the raw data via a cron job or something and store the aggregated data ready for viewing then your page should load in a fraction of a second, server cpu, ram sql... all will see significantly less load. Everyone will be happy. I prefer the star schema type of reports gathering. This is a theoretical method of re-arranging your data so that it is suitable for reports and in and you will be able to pull vastly different reports from that same data a lot quicker than straight from your normal data. On top of this you may want to further aggregate certain data for specific reports. I have written a few base-classes and methods to enable star-schema generation in Cake. You will find my code and explanations in the bakery. http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/starschema-olap-setup-for-reporting /Martin On Nov 10, 11:18 am, Adrian gond...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am having the same issue as the following post: http://old.nabble.com/Timeout-on-IE-but-not-on-other-browsers-td18082...

Re: Mod rewrite skip
Am I right when I say that you want /app/webroot/manager/existing_file -- should be accessible /app/webroot/manager/nonexistent_file -- should not be rewritten to a missing controller page It that is what you want, the lazy answer is that you don't have to worry. When you are live... at debug 0... Cake will render a 404 page for the missing file. It might just look a little different from the default one Apache renders. The less lazy answer was found on stackoverflow: RewriteRule ^manager - [L,NC] put that before the existing Cake rules and it should do the trick... if app/webroot is in fact the web root.

Re: Simple question from a newbie seeking help from the gods
No, you still need a controller action... but that action does not need to do more than call the model in this case... well, and format response data for the view and things like that.

What kind of Model-methods do you write?
Dumb question? I hope not. I wanted to see which is the most popular way of writing methods in models. And by which way and what kind I am referring to if the methods assume and require a loaded row from the database or not. Better use an example. Drawing from the ever present blog tutorial, assume you want to change a post from draft to published. That is: a simple method that operated on the model data. Would you write: function publish() { $this-saveField('published', 1); } or function publish($id) { $this-id = $id; $this-saveField('published', 1); } Note: both very condensed and without any returns or error-checking just to keep things short. The important bit is wether you prefer to write methods that assume $this = the table or $this = a row. Variations of save and find will always be table-level methods but a lot of other methods could be written either way. Row-level methods would be more natural in something like rails since results are objects. From the controller the first method above would be called like this: $this-Post-read($id); // or find('first',..) $this-Post-publish(); and the second: $this-Post-publish($id); Possibly the example is a poor one but I hope you can discern what I am driving at. I have tried writing both ways. I like writing row-level methods but they can be problematic because of Cake's data handling. /Martin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: how to deal with empty data in index-views (example inside...)
I just check for empty data and switch out part of the view. Much like the code sample Ceryl supplied. For more advanced use you can go all the way to using a status field in your database. An example, still from my file manager, User hbtm File can be used to figure out if a user has seen a file before or if it is new. Each time a file is displayed to a user an association is created indicating the file has been seen by this user. Each load of a list of files does a check and formats data for the view so it can know which files to indicate as new. The trick here is to do this kind of thing without slowing your application down to a crawl. I had to do a lot of trickery to be able to handle a few thousand files in a folder without slowing down or even running out of memory (using recursive = out of memory). For your situation you might use a field (fields) in the User model to determine if it is the first time a user has activated a feature. Most of the time the smart thing is to write the copy cleverly so it works for both first-time and I just erased everything situations.

Re: how to deal with empty data in index-views (example inside...)
This kind of view is often a good candidate for first-run information.

For example: In my file manager application, an empty folder will contain a short text suggesting the user uploads some files into it. /Martin On Oct 11, 8:04 pm, DigitalDude e.blumsten...@googlemail.com wrote: Hey, today I was wondering about how I could deal with an index-view where no data is available.

So what I mean is, there should be a check if there is any data to display, and if NOT, a message like the one above should be printed. But what's the best practice for that? I figured out two possibilities, but I'm not quite sure if it's really the perfect way... 1. We could use two elements; one where the message is displayed, and one where the data is displayed (for example in a table or so...) I would do the following check: if($somedata) { echo $this-renderElement('DataShowElement');} else { echo $this-renderElement('EmptyDataMessage'); } 2. pretty much the same, but without elements so in the view there would be a check if the data-variable has any elements and the table would only be shown when the data-array has any entries, otherwise there would be only the message. What is the correct way to do this? Are there any other techniques to deal with this kind of problem?

Can you recommend quality (virtual) server hosting?
Hi, at my day-job we have plans to expand to the US. For that purpose I wanted to find a reliable hosting provider. Any good/bad experiences you can share would be welcome. I am looking for: • Server hosting / real, virtual or cloud. (we run special system software want to control the OS) • Able to scale. (the app is heavy by nature so scaling is anticipated) • Scaling needs are more likely be disk-space and speed, cpu for image/video conversion more than traditional SQL/webfront needs. • Very reliable. (clients in out field are not going to like downtime one bit) The tech-geek in me would really like to put the system on a cloud since it looks to help scaling and the cost of scaling.. plus it is kewl :) I have looked at Amazon a bit but mostly keep reverting to drooling over Rackspace cloud.

Beginners guide to php security
I stumbled across this link today. Very good clear example-driven guide to basic php security. http://phpsec.org/projects/guide/ Deals with sql injection, xss, hijacking globals, validating input. All the basics. It should be said that you get a lot of these things for free with Cake but I will still keep it in my back pocket for the next time I get a question about security. /Martin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: afterSave causing save to fail
If you are staying on MySQL you can do something like: SET @pos=0; UPDATE busstops SET pos = ( SELECT @pos := @pos +1 ) WHERE route = 1 ORDER BY pos ASC Found that on: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/update.html Roughly half-way down the comments.

Re: Where request comes from?
Looks like a handy Ajax handler Miles. But I can't see where it makes SecurityComponent work with Ajax. All I see is form security being disabled (lines 85-87). Making Ajax work with SecurityComponent would involve actually validating that an ajax post came from the correct form. As with session ids, the problem again is the asynchronous part of Ajax. The only half-secure alternative I find remotely practical is to set a hash as a global javascript variable on each real page load and store that in the session. On Ajax requests you let that hash stick around and you require ajax to pass that hash along each call. This would require the session and the last full page to be hijacked to be able to post data via Ajax. /Martin On Oct 2, 6:02 pm, Miles J mileswjohn...@gmail.com wrote: Well you can use my ajax handler, it wraps the security component so it works with AJAX calls. http://www.milesj.me/resources/script/ajax-handler-component On Oct 2, 7:12 am, Martin Westin martin.westin...@gmail.com wrote: You CAN... but it is painful to say the least.

Re: afterSave causing save to fail
Maybe Cake does not like you calling a saveAll inside a saveAll? A bit unrelated, but what is that afterSave doing? It looks like a lot of work for little result. What I see is you finding all images in a gallery ordered by the order_id. Then you set the order id of each one to a number in increasing order and then saving them all again. That is a lot of work just to make sure you don't have any gaps in the numbering. Or I may be reading the code wrong. Google has an evil line wrap as I'm sure you know. I am guessing you allow the user to set the order of the edited image in the form? Maybe you should look at an ordering solution that is more suitable to the way the interface work? Or try to optimize the re- ordering (you may want to give that job to MySQL). /Martin On Oct 1, 3:29 pm, WebbedIT p...@webbedit.co.uk wrote: I am having a problem with the below setup.

Loads very fast most of the time but it does load very slowly at other times. I get results mostly around 0.06-0.1s but a few were all the way up at 4.5s. To me that suggests either some problem with disk speed. Are you on (an overloaded) shared server or is this site all that is running on the system? Set debug to 0. Anything else and cach will not work at full capacity. At debug 1 Cake will re-write the language cache, database schema cache, paths... every 10s or so. That in combination with an overloaded or for some other reason slow server could account the the intermittent slowness. If the server is under your control in any way I would also check if it is hacked or someone trying to hack it (bombing the ftp or some other service with logins). Check the logs. Is the web access log full of requests to things that do not exist (like windows exploits on a Linux server)? Is the general logs full of failed logins?

Re: MAMP + CakePHP issues
On 1 I second the opinion that vhosts are the way to go. I have never ever ever bothered modifying htaccess files just to get a few apps to run under localhost/one, /two and so on. You are on a Mac and in perfect position to setup in a way that is 100% identical to a production deployment. You need two things. vhosts in the apache conf and fake hostnames for each vhost. There might be a gui but I just edit the file /etc/hosts adding fake names pointing to 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 one.site 127.0.0.1 two.site ... That is very convenient. Managing vhosts were mentioned by Frederick. An alternative is to pay for MAMP pro which has built-in support for vhosts and advanced features. Personally I use Apples supplied Apache and PHP and install MySQL as a pkg so I have no details to offer on vhosts in MAMP. Speaking of MySQL. Your second problem might be caused by differing versions of MySQL if the errors apply only to certain queries. If they are advanced as you say then they might require a more up-to-date version than MAMP has. Either that or the version of Cake. And when reading the backtrace, the top line is closest to the error. Cake is born in webroot and looking at the error MySQL has problems interpreting __getUsersForUsers as a SQL syntax... which I can understand. That indicates to me that your version of Cake might be the problem. It looks like a bug in your code but if you are sure the same code is executed without problem on another install then it may be a version problem. /Martin On Sep 25, 3:58 pm, FrederickD manzanillo.engl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Fahd! I can advise you on the first question, but not the second. I had been using MAMP but decided to take it off and go with a stock approach. It took a little bit, but works solidly now. What makes it very easy is to use a cheap product called VirtualHostX. You can find it athttp://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/25689/virtualhostx. The price recently went up it appears, but it is so worth it to not be frustrated while developing multiple sites. VirtualHostX is MAMP- friendly. I use it to have a sandbox site where I'm testing code and integration before moving that code over to the development site. Both can be up at the same time, obviously with different databases, but it could be the same one. Hmmm... Anyway, I am also using a product called ModelBaker fromhttp://widgetpress.com that also is MAMP-friendly and removes the need to use a command line when baking. All the database design is visual and the configuration of Cake is a snap. It is a RAP (rapid application prototype) tool that does a great job at generating 80% of the Cake code so you can focus on the 20% that is unique to your application.

For example /Sites/project1/ is where the Cake app sites. It finds the /project1/ site fine (after some htaccess mods) but there are issues with relative links. Any link that is manually coded and not using $html-link uses /Sites/ instead of / Sites/project1/ as the base. This is for images and any Ajax calls from jQuery. (css and js files are fine). The images I can bare, but the site is unusable without Ajax. Temp solution: changed the document root to /Sites/project1/. This is not ideal, but I'd like to know if you guys have a fix so I don't have to change the document root all the time for previewing different projects. 2) We have a lot of complex MySQL queries being made, using $this-query('SELECT...'). We've placed these in the appropriate models within a function. Hence from the Controller we'll have something like $this-Users-getMeSomething($variable), that goes to the user.php model and runs that function.

Re: Doubt in cake php
Ever heard of a can of worms :) (The whole -This is MVC. -No, this is MVC thing can turn nasty at times.) Cake allows no direct access to Models from Views. That is how the MVC pattern has been implemented in Cake even though there are other interpretations in other Frameworks. If everyone had the same preference there wouldn't be such an abundance of frameworks doing more or less the same things but is slightly different ways. I have never found cakes strict partitioning to be a problem in any particular situation I can recall. This is likely to be because the web is request based. Every time you will ever see a view rendered that has to have been as the result of a request. And all requests go through a Controller so you will always have access to Model data in every request and the ability to pass that data to the view. Things can be very different in a desktop application or something like a Flash application in which the code runs continuously throughout the session. In these types of applications the MVC works a bit differently. I get the feeling from your question that you may be thinking too strict in another way (as may seem to do). You are not limited to locking the User model to the Users controller and the users views only. I tend to think of the models on the one side and the controller and view as a pair on the other. That is, the controller and view(s) are tightly linked but the models can be utilised a bit more freely. I would never render the Posts/index view from the Users controller for example. But I would, and often do, access the Post model from the Users controller and pass the data to the users views. To finally get to some kind of point: Why would it be a problem to get the list of user clubs in the controller and pass it to the view as you put it? That is the primary purpose of the controller. It is essentially there to interpret the request, access the model(s) and present that data to the view. If you accessed the Models from the Views, the Controller would not do much more than request routing. I hope you are not offended by this accidental lecture on MVC. A topic I am not an expert in by any stretch of the imagination. I was trying to explain my limited knowledge of the reasoning behind the design of CakePHP and to explain that there is more than one way to design an MVC framework. You already mentioned yourself that you knew of a way to access your data. I am afraid the better way you are looking for is not allowed. You could of-course probably set the whole Model instance as a view variable but I have never tried that. On Sep 24, 10:59 am, hunny saurabh85maha...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Guys, I am new to cakephp. I am having the following issue: I am displaying list of checkbox containing clubs to a login user. The list of clubs I am passing through the models via controllers in the traditional way. Now the logged in user should see his list of clubs automatically ticked. This list is present in another database. One solution is to get the list of user clubs in the controller itself and pass it to the view. But is there any alternative way, where I can access the user clubs in the view itself without loading in the controller. Basically i am looking for something similar like View Helpers in Zend. We can access the model data in views using view Helpers. Is there something similar in cakephp. P.S: I have asked this question to a few people who knew cake php and their first reaction is that you shouldn't access model data in views as it is against MVC. But let me assure you we can access model data in view as long as it is read only. At least that is what we are used to follow in Zend Framework. :) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: i18n table with 180 000+ entrys
One thing I have yet to figure out is how to deal with charset/ collation problems using an i18n table. Because of this I would probably go for separate tables even though it requires more work to make id's sync and all that. The problems I am referring to are queries like $this-Person-findByFirstName('Pär'); which in Swedish should return users that are called just that but in English should return any name with any variation of the a character since ä is not a character in the English alphabet. It is only seen as an a with some irrelevant bling bling. I have not seen any supported way of telling the database which language you want to search in. All I have know of is to try to hack it into the conditions and order clauses and end up just one step short of a custom query. Using separate tables you at least have the option to set them to the correct collation for the intended language. Sorry for taking up space with this explanation. It ran a bit long but it can be unpleasant finding out your searches return the wrong data when your app is already live. :) I hope someone with good experience using the translate behaviour can shed some light on how they get make it work.

Re: Advanced setup
Your problem is likely the cause of one of your .htaccess files not set correctly. You probably need a rewrite base. If I get your setup correctly (and I am not at all sure I do) you have the Apache document root set to var/www and everything else if in sub-folders of that. I can't really figure out what you are trying to achieve by this setup.If it is just allowing you and a college to use the same cake core on different development branches of the app on the same server I think you are doing this too complicated for yourself. For example: - Why define APP_DIR with a foldername in an index.php that is in the app dir already? index in webroot will do that correctly for you. Renaming it doesn't hurt this. - The same question for ROOT All you really should need to set is CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH since it is the only folder you have moved. (you still need working rewrite rules, though.) I never install in this way myself so I have not examples of rewrite settings for you. I hope I could at least point you vaguely in the right direction. /Martin On Sep 22, 1:20 am, The Roman mtes...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, this is my first post so please accept my apologies if I break any conventions. Searches of this site and google at large have not yeilded any results for me, so here goes. I have created a cakePHP site which is to be a sub-system within a larger PHP based intranet. It is hosted on a clients site, to which I have full access. Now, my fellow developer and I use svn source control and so I have been going through the process of making the cake install svn friendly -- splitting of the cake core (cake_1.2.5) to /var/www, having svn ignore the app/tmp directory etc. This is how I have split cake: (from app/index.php) -- if (!defined('ROOT')) { define('ROOT', DS.'var'.DS.'www'.DS.'programmer1'.DS.'main_system'.DS.'cake_systems'); } if (!defined('APP_DIR')) { define('APP_DIR', 'statement_archive'); } if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) { define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS . 'var' . DS . 'www' . DS . 'cake_1.2.5'); } Note that this file is one of those excluded from svn, my coworker will have the same file but his ROOT will use his initials rather than 'programmer1' so that we each have our own development area. So from the above you can see (or hopefully you cannot see, and that is my problem!) that the cake 'app' directory has been renamed to 'statement_archive' and is a sub directory of 'cake_systems'. The idea is that other modules of the php based system may also be done in cake, and that these would also be sub directories of 'cake_systems' and all would share /var/www/cake_1.2.5. Here is where the problem starts. By setting the route for '/' I can get a correctly displayed (layout and all) screen via the urlhttp://xxx.yyy.aaa.bbb/programmer1/main_system/cake_systems/statement This screen provides other links such as --http://xxx.yyy.aaa.bbb/programmer1/main_system/cake_systems/statement Clicking on that link gives a 404 not found -- The requested URL / programmer1/main_system/cake_systems/statement_archive/statements/ generate/280060 was not found on this server. Of course, while under development, when the standard 'development style' cake setup (app directory was called 'app' etc) this all worked. It is almost like cakePHP is getting its hands on the url to do its routing, something is beating it to the punch perhaps? To try and get around this I set some routes manually in statement_archive/ config/routes.php - Router::connect('/statements/generate/*', array('controller' = 'statements', 'action' = 'generate')); Router::connect('/statements/view/*', array('controller' = 'statements', 'action' = 'view')); Router::connect('/statements/edit/*', array('controller' = 'statements', 'action' = 'edit')); Router::connect('/statements/delete/*', array('controller' = 'statements', 'action' = 'delete')); Router::connect('/statements/add/*', array('controller' = 'statements', 'action' = 'add')); Router::connect('/logos', array('controller' = 'logos', 'action' = 'index')); Router::connect('/logos/add/*', array('controller' = 'logos', 'action' = 'add')); Router::connect('/statement_controls', array('controller' = 'statement_controls', 'action' = 'index')); Router::connect('/', array('controller' = 'statements', 'action' = 'index')); Any advice as to how and I can links working again?

Re: CakePHP and scalability
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/ I hope you have seen this blog? They have had a number of post lately about indexes and always post about optimization in one way or the other (funny enough). If you have added indexes which did not improve much you may be defining them wrong for the query you make. You may also need to modify your queries so that they can make use of the indexes. When adding an index it is good to run an explain on the query before and after to see that the index is being used. 300'000rows for a join-table doesn't sound like too much for one server unless you really need to scan most of that table for a lot of queries... like showing a users friends friends friends... I have that and more in both normal tables and joining tables, though your app probably sees more requests than mine (not a public app). I wanted to get to the point that I used to have huge problems with performance. 9/10 of them needed php related optimizations like Containable or doing 3 queries instead of a for loop or a Set::extract (). Once I needed to cache the returned data from Mysql... when generating reporting data and identical queries could be issued 200 times during the same request.

Configure Cake under Nginx with ssl
If you are running your CakePHP app under Nginx, this might interest you. Cake relies on the php environment variable HTTPS (as in $_SERVER ['HTTPS']) for SSL to be considered by RequestHandler and SecurityComponent. This is a problem for anyone running nginx. HTTPS is not mentioned as a parameter in any php/fastcgi example I have found. Even worse, the ssl module in nginx does not add any variable at all that can be used to set this dynamically. To let php know of the port used you would do fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port using the provided variable $server_port to set the desires environment variable. No $ssl variable exists and setting true or false based on the port is a bad idea. (I don't know why, that is just what I have read. Performance presumably.) If, like me, you make use of includes a lot there is another stumbling block. Simply adding in the paramater in the server block is not good enough you have to add it on the same structural level as fastcgi_pass and those things. So if you have a vhost file contaning just the barest of info and then you include a cakephp.inc which deals with all the php setups you need do some more work. I went with the cheesy quickfix of copying the cake include and calling it cakephp.ssl.inc... I won't change a lot in those two files so I guess I can remember to make any alterations in both. I hope. (did that make sense without a flowchart?) In short, you need this line among your fcgi params, but only for https requests! just adding it to the list of params will make php think it is always running under ssl. fastcgi_param HTTPS on; /Martin On Sep 22, 10:38 am, Martin Westin martin.westin...@gmail.com wrote: I was doing a test to see how my app runs under ssl and found that Auth redirects me out of ssl.

Re: Pizza Online Order Notification?
I think Tim is right here. Individual logins work in theory but in a busy restaurant where supposedly a single computer will be logged in all day and used by everyone... passwords would get swapped, written on a post-it and other secure things in a heartbeat. Security = putting the post-it under the keyboard so you have to move it 4in to see the password. :) As for updating the page. Go with ajax. The page loads displaying new orders to fill. javascript is provided with a timestamp of when the page loaded and can poll the server any new orders since ... 17:46:32. The server can simply reply true or false to this request and only when there are new orders do you need to refresh the page. Since this will be lightweight and invisible to the user you can poll every few seconds if you want since the request should be very efficient and not take up a lot of time for the server. (You can also update the list with ajax if you like but it is s bit more work for little benefit.) /Martin On Sep 16, 3:56 pm, Aivaras faifas1...@gmail.com wrote: Create each employee a different user and log which orders did the employee see.

Re: caching engines
Since you ask, I'd say file. Sorry, that is my least favorite answer to get. All the others require special setups. All the others are better than file under the right circumstances. APC and XCache provide a big performance boost if you need it and like installing php extensions yourself. Memcached is generally the weapon of choose for clustered deployment since it can share it's data between servers. Your circumstances and which fits your setup the best can really only be fully determined by proper testing. You can get a good idea of their general pro's and con's by reading the docs for each and some of the published benchmarks available. Some testing can be done using one of the WAMP, XAMPP, MAMP flavors. I know MAMP is compiled with both APC and XCache and I assume the others are aswell.

Re: Cache Problem with safari 4
I am sure Safari does cache the page for you. My feeling is that you can't fix this with a header. My feeling is that Safari has this feature for some kinds of back-clicking no matter what you do. Possibly it is to aid javascript-heavy sites. If I click away now, in the middle of typing this post, I can click back and still have my text in this ajax-loaded field on the page. Neither the field nor the text were there when the page loaded. That is not how FF or any other browser works afaik. I guess the old rule still applies.

Re: isUnique Validation for Multiple Fields
I could easily skip that validation and always let a new vote through. Only when the same user votes again their original vote would be updated. That is totally a matter of taste. I just happen to like being abel to change my mind and update my vote. That doen't work better for rating users, posts or other social stuff that is does for competition entries. For that kind of saves I wish there was a Cake version of INSERT ...

Re: session lost during ajax calls problem
For that one there is no one-click simple trick. I guess you could return an ajax html snippet containing a javascript that trigger a redirect... unless it gets captured in some security check.

Cake simply returns success or error on the request and then my javascript knows whether to redirect or not. /Martin On Sep 10, 1:06 pm, learning_cake_php lunaro...@gmail.com wrote: ah ic..well thanx so much for that information..well i guess i have to lower my security level for this matter...one more thing, how can i redirect an entire page when im submitting a form using ajax? say for instance if($this-Model-save(){ $this-redirect('theWholePageToSomeWhereElse');}else{ $this-redirect('toPreviousViewUsingAjax'); } how can i do that? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Problem with Security component and form submit
I don't think is affects your problem but in the code you posted the html would be invalid. The form and /form should be at the same hierarchical leven in the html but you have the end inside a div. A 404 is what you would get is SecurityComponent decided to kick you in the behind. It is called blackHole() and is the end of the road for any bad request. You can specify blackHoleCallback on the component (in the beforeFilter of your controller) and name one method in your controller as the callback. This method will then receive the error and giving you the opportunity to debug what is going on. $this-Security-blackHoleCallback = 'some_method_name'; Or you can open the Security Component directly and insert a debug in blackHole... if you prefer that.

Re: Flow Control with Ajax
On successful login, Auth Component does a redirect to either: 1. where you were before you were redirected to the login screen (not in your case I guess) 2. whatever default you have set 3. the website index page. (I think that is the correct order) I guess your problem is that your ajax call does not follow the redirect and loads the resulting page. I don't use ajax enough to be sure of that or what can be done about it. What you can do is to turn off the auto redirect for Auth and yourself check if the login was a success and if that success was due to an ajax call. Use the RequestHandler to check for ajax. /Martin On Sep 9, 5:45 am, young.steveo young.ste...@gmail.com wrote: I've posted this elsewhere on the internets, and finally I'm bringing it to you guys.

The only exception is that I'm using the livequery jQuery plugin to support the submit event.

The form is submitted via ajax to the UsersController, and if the user has failed to authenticate, he is served the 'users/login.ctp' view inside the same div using ajax. This all works. If the user DOES authenticate, he is also served the login.ctp inside the div. Instead, I want to change the view to something that says welcome, etc. etc. etc. with no login form.

Re: Two paginations on one page, can't figure it out
Yes I saw defaultModel too after I posted. Both my paginated models were in paginator's params array but using them both seems, as you say, to only affect parst of the helper. For example, numbers pulls the correct values provided by the component and uses them for counting pages but does not use them for constructing model-specific links themselves. I can see why. How often is it a good idea to paginate two models on the same page? My case was a bit of a gui-playground. It was a log view of text and picture messages sent to a certain phone and I thought it would be cool to split the page and have both types of messages paginated right there. Not your typical page. The funny thing was that numbers printed two sets of numbers correctly for the two models but all the links were the same for both. That got me all exited and sure I had just missed some array trickery. :) /Martin On Sep 8, 6:37 pm, Miles J mileswjohn...@gmail.com wrote: The paginator class seems a bit incomplete.

However, on your numbers() method it also seems correct, but then again, the model doesnt exist in the params array? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: session lost during ajax calls problem
At security level high CakePHP creates a new session id for each request (often enough anyway). This behaviour might be causing you problems using Ajax. The intermittent aspect of the problem is because ajax will be fine as long as you don't make use of the A too much. Cake will only allow one concurrent request from the same session. if you send a second request to the server without the first having returned (and updated the session id in the browser) you will be sending an old used session id and Cake will think you are a hacker and shut you down. So in practice whenever you use ajax you set the level to medium and live with it. maybe someone has built some kind of queu-system for Prototype or jQuery, I don't know. Initial page load Cake id=1 = Browser id=1 link clicked Browser id=1 = Cake gets 1 and changes to 2 = Browser gets=2 ajax update and link clicked at the same time Browser id=2 = Cake gets 2 and changes to 3 = Browser gets=3 Browser id=2 = Cake gets 2 again, gets upset and flips you off :) Apart from the session timeout time, this is afaik the only difference between high and medium security level. The other thing to beware of in relation to this is the Security component and the way it protects forms. You will almost certainly get locked out is you submit forms using ajax to update something... since each form will contain a hash and can only be sent once. /Martin On Sep 9, 4:35 am, learning_cake_php lunaro...@gmail.com wrote: i dont think im the only one asked this question but i just wanted to be sure that solutions i found in the net is correct and secure.. my problem is when i do an ajax call sometimes my session is lost sometimes its not..say for instance, i have a textbox where every time the value is change the ajax call is triggered. sometimes the session i just set is lost then when i typed again on the textbox, the session is not lost.. some solution says that i have to: Set Configure::write(’Security.level’, ‘medium’); well i havnt tried it though, but they said it will not destroy the session when the browser is being closed, which is not good.. is there any way around this? im using cake 1.2.. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Setting Up CakePHP on MAC with MAMP and Eclipse
I have been developing in folders like project_name for years and I like it. I only need to keep and manage one Cake installation and it keeps my clutter of files to a minimum :) The way I host that locally is with one virtual host for each project. I point the Apache root folder for each one to the equivalent of app/ webroot. That way I host locally in exactly the same way as a production installation. also set fake domain names in my computer's / etc/hosts file. I prefer project_name.site as no real site would be called that. I think you can get away with dumping it all into the same vhost the way you did now.

Re: help::sending data from one controller to another controller
You have had your first bump into the wall of strictly linking views, controller and model. I generally tend to link the views and controller more and keep my models more loose. That is, I don't have a problem with using ModelB in ControllerA. I read that you want one click to save both Contact and related phone numbers. If so, I have a two things to offer (off the top of my head): You can possibly just switch to $this-Contact-saveAll($this-data) if your data is returned correctly from the form. Hint: one single form. You can check the cookbook for the details on how to use saveAll. You can reach the PhoneNumber model like $this-Contact-PhoneNumber and save data that way if you need to.

Same for next and prev. $paginator-options(array( 'ModelA'=$this-passedArgs, 'ModelB'=array('url' = $this-passedArgs) )); I tried a few variations of this kind of options because I saw in the source that options looked for model names but that has not yielded anything good either. As you can tell I a lost here and I feel like I am missing something obvious since multiple paginations are supposed to be supported afaik. any suggestions? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.
