Sent mail to a gmail.com address and a different domain received.
Hi, I had a funny problem with sending an email using cakephp. I actually use PHPMailer. My problem is that I sent an email to lets say test...@gmail.com but it didn't go to that email address it went to an address test...@different.com ( both the same username both different domain names) I made sure that the address I first sent it to was correct and it was. How could this of happened. There are no forwarding settings on the gmail account or nothing. These were two completly different people.

Re: Multiple homepages
Seems pretty correct to me. Here's a piece of logic to determine if a user
is visiting an admin page and if they're an actual admin. It's in the
app_controller file.
public function beforeFilter ()
{
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->isAdmin = $this->Session->read('isAdmin');
if (isset ($this->params['admin']) && $this->params['admin'] &&
!$this->isAdmin) {
$this->redirect('/');
}
}
I know this isn't exactly what you're doing... but you could have something
similar to detect a logged in user and what their user type is, and then
redirect them accordingly. I think your logic is sound though. Others can
set me straight if I'm also off... =D
Happy coding,
~Philip

Re: Tricking Validation
With client side, you can use javascript to grab the "text" from the
textarea and see how long that is. Something like Mootools (or whatever
framework) would provide:
document.id('mytextarea').get('text').trim().length > 50
Since it's only grabbing text and not any html characters, it will make sure
they have actually typed in 50 or more non-whitespace characters.
For server side, you could use strip_tags() to and get the "text":
trim (strip_tags ($this->data['mytextarea'])) > 50
Hope that helps,
~Philip

Re: Cake PHP error message
First, add an index method to your class:
public function index () {}
Then, access the controllers the correct way:
http://localhost/Cake/Items
or
http://localhost/Cake/Items/index
This is assuming that "Cake" is a directory in your web root that contains
your whole cake project. Have you gone through the tutorial yet? You might
start there to get some basics down.

Re: Standard
Actually, I meant $this->Session->read('user'). To grab the full user record
and all associated data
$user = $this->User->read(...);
$this->Session->write('user', $user);
Because I found the default data for $this->Auth->user() was lacking. But if
$this->Auth->user() is needing to make a query each time it's called, I
don't want to go that direction - I want to pull the data w/o a database
call.
Sorry for the confusion... :)
Thanks,

ODBC + Cake 1.3
Hi all.
Been doing some digging around google and haven't found much on the topic of
CakePHP 1.3 + ODBC support. From my understanding, 1.2 allowed ODBC
connections, but it doesn't appear as though 1.3 does. The listing of
datasources are found in /app/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/...
dbo_mssql.php, dbo_mysql.php, dbo_mysqli.php, dbo_oracle.php,
dbo_postgres.php, dbo_sqlite.php
The git repo
shows others:
https://github.com/cakephp/datasources/tree/master/models/datasources/dbo
So my question, is/will Cake support ODBC for 1.3 and/or later?
My initial setup shoots back an error:
*Fatal Error* (256): ConnectionManager::loadDataSource - Unable to
import DataSource class .DboOdbc

Saving data in many tables in CakePHP
I a newbie question. This is how can I save data in many tables. Heres a scenario, example I have a Profiles controller, then I have a register method/action. Lets say I have 2 tables involved the users table and emails table, this is only for the sake of the demonstration. In my view in the register method there are two input boxes name which resides in the users table and email textbox for the emails table. Now what I want to do is that, when I press the submit button I want the name to be saved in the names table and the email to the emails table.. Here is the schema: users table: id name emails table: id user_id email I wonder what the view for register method would look like, since the form->create() methods 1st paramter is the name of the model.. And also how do I saved the data on two different tables. Again, thanks in advance.

CakePHP Two Step View Pattern
Hi guys I'm new here in CakePHP. How can I implement a two step view
pattern in CakePHP? Example I have a layout there are two content divs
namely content1 and content2. The code is like this
My Cake Blog Application
css('styles');?>
Can I do this in CakePHP? Cause in CodeIgniter we setup a layout and
then in the layout we could display many views. How can I do that here
in CakePHP?
Thanks in advance..

Populating a parent field when adding new rows
Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I've done a bit of
googling and can't seem to find this situation.
I've got a table which refers back to itself. It's a table of
geographical locations (territories) and each territory may have a
parent territory which it is a part of.
I've got a parent_id field in the territory table and I used bake to
generate my view, model and controller.
However, while I can add a territory, when doing so the Parent drop-
down menu doesn't seem to populate with the other territories.
I'm using PHP 5, Cake 1.3.4 running locally in MAMP.
These are, I believe, the relevant sections of code and (as one would
expect from auto-generated code) they seem to match the other examples
I can find online:
>From territory.php
var $belongsTo = array(
'ParentTerritory' => array(
'className' => 'Territory',
'foreignKey' => 'parent_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
),
and
var $hasMany = array(
'ChildTerritory' => array(
'className' => 'Territory',
'foreignKey' => 'parent_id',
'dependent' => false,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
)
from territories_controller.php
$parentTerritories = $this->Territory->ParentTerritory->find('list');
and from the add.ctp view:
echo $this->Form->input('parent_id');
Does anyone have any idea why the Parent field in the add view
doesn't seem to contain anything given that I have added a few
territories without parents?
It doesn't even show the parent if I manually edit the DB to give a
territory a parent, although the parent will still be displayed on the
"view territories" page.

Helper or Element?
Hi all.
I'm wanting to create a simple helper or element which displays a menu. I've
read around and have seen that others have created helpers which create
dynamic, database-driven, nested menus. This seems to be too much for my needs.
I also tend to think that the creation of a menu should be in an element
just cuz it seems "more appropriate" - wish I had more justification.
element('menu', array(
'items' => array(
'First' => array('attr'=>'...'),
'Second' => array('attr'=>'...'),
'Third' => array('attr'=>'...'),
),
));
?>
Then in the element just loop through the items and display them in an
unordered list.
So, which would be more appropriate for this functionality - an element or a
helper? And why?
Thanks!

Figured out what the issue was. The autocomplete was working properly, however,
the CSS was preventing the list from being shown in the correct spot (not below
the input box). To fix it, I gave the surrounding div and ul a position of
relative.
div.config div,
div.config ul {
position: relative;
}
Thanks.

I ran into this same issue. You *must* include your call to $js->writeBuffer()
within the view that gets rendered with each ajax request. Otherwise, after
your first click of an ajax link, the new set of links that get loaded from the
ajax request don't get updated with the custom onclick events.
So, for example, I have a table element that has the option to be shown on each
ajax request. At the bottom of the element file, I have the appropriate call
writeBuffer(array('onDomReady'=>false));
}
?>
Now, each time the new ajax page loads, the links get updated.
Hope that helps.

Pagination across controllers
Hi all.
I've done plenty of searching and been unable to find a solution yet. I'm also
fairly new to Cake, but not to PHP. I have ajax pagination working from the
currently-view controller/model. However, if I attempt to paginate a list that
comes from a different model/controller, I only get 1 result.
>From Hardware, I get a properly paginated list of hardware items. Hardware has
>a belongsTo relationship to HardwareType and Location. From Location, I want
>to include a paginated list of hardware items. If I call the same method from
>LocationsController as I do in HardwaresController, I only get 1 result.
array('Mootools'));
public $paginate = array(
'Hardware' => array(
'limit' => 3,
'order' => array(
'Hardware.name' => 'ASC'
),
),
);
public function index () {
$this->set('hardware', $this->listing()); // This works as expected
}
public function listing () {
return $this->paginate('Hardware');
}
}
class LocationsController extends AppController
{
...
public function view ($id) {
...
App::import('Controller', 'Hardwares');
$Hardwares = new HardwaresController;
$Hardwares->constructClasses();
$this->set('hardwares', $Hardwares->listing()); // This is only 1 result
}
}
class Hardware extends AppModel
{
public $name = 'Hardware';
public $belongsTo = array('HardwareType', 'Location');
public $order = array('Hardware.name ASC');
...
}
?>
Can anyone explain why I'm only getting a single result (which is the actual
first result) and/or please provide some assistance on how to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Validation problem wtih "required" flag set
Hi all,
I have been reading posts on the confusion over "required" flag and I
think I understand it pretty well.
However I am having problem trying to make it work.
For example, here is my call:
$this->User->validate(array('User'=>array('username'=>'test')));
And for the model, I have just one rule, which is "notEmpty" with
"required" set to "true".
Odd thing is that if I use a html FORM to post ($this->User->validate
($_POST['data']), then it works, but not when I invoke it directly.
I am wondering if this has anything to do with the way I structure the
data array?
Any ideas would be appreciated, many thanks in advance.

Re: Creating DatabaseTables (cakephp way)
By the way thnks for the responseActually what I want to do is the
"HasOne" relationship, the problem is that I can't implement it. The
problem is like this
I have a users table:
id integer auto increment primary
firstname varchar(45)
lastname varchar(45)
also I have a userinformations table
id integer auto increment primary
sss_number varchar(45)
birthday datetime
user_id integer
I want this to have a one to one relationship
so what I did in the userinformations_controller.php
class UserinformationsController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Userinformations';
var $scaffold;
}
in the userinformation.php
class Userinformation extends AppModel
{
var $ame = 'Userinformation';
var $belongsTo = array('User');
}
in the users_controller.php
class UsersController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'User';
var $scaffold;
}
in the user.php
class User extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'User';
var $hasOne = array('Userinformation');
}
After doing that, I add new users to my users table and its
doneThe problem now is when I insert records on the
userinformations table, I cant insert 2 or more user_id in the
userinformations table. So I think the problem is on my table cause my
userinformations table has an auto_increment id and also the primary
key. So what I want to do is to delete the id in the userinformations
table and then make the user_id a primary key so, it will have a one
to one relationship with the user table.
Am I right? Give me some advice on how to do it correctly.
Good day.

Creating DatabaseTables (cakephp way)
hi guys, I just would like to ask about creating tables. I have read a book "Apress Beginning CakePHP" in chapter 2 it says there that "Giving each record a unique id value is essential for Cake to function without trouble. This application is simple, so you may be able to get by without creating an id field set to auto_increment. However, it’s good practice to make sure that all your records in the database can be identified by a unique value and that it’s named id, because then Cake can generate scaffolding around your table without any code on your part. Once you begin creating associated tables, then it will be mandatory to include an id field." My question is, I want to change the id field into another name, let's say category_id. Example I have a category table like this. category_table fields: category_id, name, description Will this work in the scaffolding feature? Here's my entire problemSample I have a not real world example haha... products has one to one relationship with category. product has one category category has one product product fields: id, name, description category fields category_id, name, description, product_id can this be possible using cake's scaffolding feature? if possible how?

Re: Bakery article on "Testing Models" -- Missing Database Table
Thanks, I appreciate the suggestions.
Along the way I found a simple naming issue that was screwing up my
fixtures: I had named my file tournament_games_test_fixture.php
instead of the singular, tournament_game_test_fixture.php.
I also am finding that if I try to load the "...Test" model in the
setUp, the Missing Database Table resurfaces:
function setUp() {
$this->TestObject = new TournamentGameTest();
}
But if I instead don't use TournamentGameTest until the test, we're
fine:
function testFindAll() {
$this->TournamentGameTest =& new TournamentGameTest();
$result = $this->TournamentGameTest->findAll();
//...
}
Thanks again for your help!

Bakery article on "Testing Models" -- Missing Database Table
I'm attempting to apply the Bakery article "Testing Models with
CakePHP 1.2 test suite" <http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/
testing-models-with-cakephp-1-2-test-suite> by Mariano Iglesias to my
own testing, but I'm getting Missing Database Table for my *Test
class.
Is anyone successfully using these techniques and willing to volunteer
to answer questions? Technical details of my specific issue follow.
=
I'm try to adapt Mariano's examples to a test for the TournamentGame
model, so my derived class should be this, right?:
loadModel('TournamentGame');
class TournamentGameTest extends TournamentGame {
var $name = 'TournamentGameTest';
var $useDbConfig = 'test_suite';
}
But I get this error:
Missing Database Table
No Database table for model TournamentGameTest (expected
test_suite_tournament_game_tests), create it first.
Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app\views
\errors\missing_table.ctp
I was under the impression from the article that CakePHP automagically
knows that the *Test derived class corresponds to the model, but
perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, or perhaps it's changed in
present versions.
I notice that it's correctly applying the test_suite prefix, but I was
under the impression that those needed tables are automatically
created during the execution of the test. Am I missing something
here?
I'm on SVN revision 6123, by the way.
=

Philip

Re: Dumb newbie question: Are baked sample tests supposed to pass?
Hmmm Anyone out there using baked tests in their testing

If anyone is effectively using the 1.2 testing structure, or the

Dumb newbie question: Are baked sample tests supposed to pass?
I'm just getting started with the testing infrastructure in CakePHP
1.2.It was a little rough getting started, because few people
seemed to be able to point me to any sort of canonical documentation,
but thanks to
http://cakebaker.42dh.com/2007/03/23/how-to-use-the-official-cakephp-test-suite/
and
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/testing-models-with-cakephp-1-2-test-suite
I'm getting up to speed now. Also this recent thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/b4e784c39cf87a4f/b117c946daf3554b
will be helpful when I start testing controllers.
(To the powers that be: Is there any way these articles could be
featured more prominently, say as part of some sort of testing portal
page on cakephp.org? I've had problems with the search there so I'm
not sure I would have found the bakery article if it weren't linked on
CakeBaker. I really lament that there's no longer an official wiki.)
When I baked a few models I also requested tests even though I didn't
know what I was doing. I got, for example, a GameTestCase class that
I'm trying to build out now.
Two questions:
== Should it pass? ==
My baked test file included the following commented method:
function testMe() {
$result = $this->TestObject->findAll();
$expected = 1;
$this->assertEqual($result, $expected);
}
Of course this fails because findAll() returns a nested array, not an
integer. Is this supposed to pass? Did something change in the
return type of findAll()?Or was it merely intended that the user
would replace the expected 1 with something more substantial?
== Necessary to subclass the model under test? ==
The Bakery article above makes a point of deriving a model from the
model under test:
class ArticleTest extends Article {
var $name = 'ArticleTest';
var $useDbConfig = 'test_suite';
}
It also names the fixture ArticleTest. Is this an essential step to
use fixtures?Because bake did some of the other "plumbing"
mentioned in that article (e.g. loadModel), it made me wonder whether
I need to add another class or not. I was able to add the fixture so
it didn't appear to break my test, but perhaps I'm setting myself up
wrong for the future.
Forgive my curiosity if these questions are just nitpicking -- I try
to err on the side of asking too many questions, because they say
there may be other curious people who just haven't gotten around to
asking. ;-)

Re: Integrating authentication from legacy CMS - put data in the CAKEPHP session?
H. I thought that might work, but no dice.
In a PHP file pulled into my CMS, I tried this:
//This is just to trick webroot/index.php so it doesn't output
anything
$old_url = isset($_GET['url']) ? $_GET['url'] : NULL;
$_GET['url'] = 'favicon.ico';
require_once 'test/cake/app/webroot/index.php';
$_GET['url'] = $old_url;
require_once 'test/cake/cake/libs/session.php';
chdir ('test/cake/app/controllers');
$cakeSession = new CakeSession();
var_dump($cakeSession);
$cakeSession->write('ee_member', 123);
echo "Session name - ".session_name();
But it still doesn't show up when accessed from Cake:
$this->Session->write('user', 'XYZ');
echo $this->Session->read('user'); //this works
echo "\n\n";
echo "ee_member: ".$this->Session->read('ee_member'); //ouputs
empty string for the session var
I see that in session.php, there are three calls to session_start(),
two in __regenerateId() and one in the constructor. I'll hack
around a bit more and see when those are getting called (if at all),
and if I can find a reasonable way to suppress them.
Thanks,
Philip

Re: Integrating authentication from legacy CMS - put data in the CAKEPHP session?
Jeff, I appreciate the reply.I've reread the thread you linked, and fortunately the Justkez.com tutorial that was down yesterday has come back up, so I skimmed through that too. But I don't understand what you're suggesting. When you say, > I wouldn't suggest trying to set cookies "behind-cake's back" as it > were. Use the cake interface. it makes me think I haven't explained the problem well.How can I use the Cake interface from within a totally separate CMS? (Likewise, the Justkez tutorial is very useful but appears to be about how do stuff within CakePHP, not outside of it.) I've had some success with hacking together some includes to access my CakePHP controller from a totally foreign PHP script, so perhaps trying that from the CMS will work (since the CMS accepts PHP). In fact, I think I may try that next. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by using the Cake interface. In any case, we have a lot of functionality in the legacy CMS that's not going to get reimplemented immediately in Cake, so for now I'm stuck with the CMS.

Integrating authentication from legacy CMS - put data in the CAKEPHP session?
TASK: My organization uses a CMS called Expression Engine for some
legacy functionality. I would like to build a user interface to some
new functionality in CakePHP.I want the authentication from EE to
be somewhat integrated so that the user need not log in twice.I
can execute arbitrary PHP conditionally on whether the user is logged
into EE and can access the user's ID, so that side of things isn't
difficult.
The tricky part is setting something so that Cake knows the user is
logged in. I've thought of three different approaches, but the most
promising one isn't working for me. I'm hopeful it's because of my
lack of understanding of sessions in CakePHP, rather than the inherent
impossibility of the approach.
== Approach 1: Store session data, retrieve it in CakePHP ==
Figuring that there out to be some way to store session data, I got as
far as this in the CMS:
{if logged_in}
THE MEMBER ID IS {member_id}
\n";
echo "session name is ".session_name()."\n";
?>
OK, I can see this working -- for example, the $_SESSION['count']
thing works and the session name is CAKEPHP.
However, in my Cake controller when I try to retrieve the session
data:
echo $this->Session->read('ee_member');
echo "\n\n";
echo "Count is: ".$this->Session->read('count');
echo "\n\n";
None of that shows up, so I infer that the session must be getting
restarted by CakePHP or somehow my data put in there is getting
clobbered. Is this a correct inference?
Is there any way to make this approach work that I'm just missing?
== Approach 2: Store non-session cookie; retrieve it in Cake ==
I haven't tried this yet because I've been trying to get #1 working.
But it seems plausible. Any feedback?
== Approach 3: Store the client IP address in the database for a given
user ID; retrieve it in Cake ==
This is my least favorite approach because my understanding is that
there could be some way for a user to simulate an IP address and hence
impersonate the client who logged in. And of course IP addresses
aren't always stable so this would need to be a very short-term thing
that expires quickly.
In any case I may be missing the forest for the trees (e.g. maybe
there's some way to do easy authentication in Cake and have the CMS
authenticate based on that, i.e. vice versa) and I feel like I'm being
naive about authentication here so I wanted a second opinion.
Thanks,
Philip

Cake PHP and templates
Hi,
I wanted to use a PHP template system with CakePHP but I don't know how
to get started.
In fact I also had a different idea which was to use TrimPath
Javascript templates
http://trimpath.com/project/wiki/JavaScriptTemplates
My idea was to convert the PHP variables to Javascript using JSON (but
didn't work out how to do this successfully). Then to use these
variables in Javascript to be passed through the Javascript template as
above.
Any ideas? Has anyone had any success with using a template with
CakePHP?
One problem I have is how can you get things like the HTML from.
$ajax->link('Home', '/pages/cms', array('update' => 'maincontent'));
to the template?
Thanks, Philip

Re: Error installing CakePHP
Hi, I tell you what happened. After I went to the cake URL as you said, I got lots of warnings at the top of the screen. To get rid of the warnings I had to manually create a folder in cake/app/ called models. After createing models folder the CakePHP home page didn't give any warnings, just said database file not configured. But I keep getting warnings for different things. Mostly only when I bake, when I get the warnings I find I have to create directories myself manually then I go through the bake process again and it works. So the problem is with the bake.php now. Is it unable to create directories? Is this due to some file/folder permission problem?
