Re: unset unwanted fields
I may be misunderstanding your query, but can't you just remove the fields from edit.ctp ?

Re: please comment on my design decision
You're right, your design doesn't feel eligant ;-) It breaks the rules of database normalisation. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, sometimes you have to break normal form for the sake of performance. Basically, what you are describing is: Profile -> hasMany -> Questions If the same questions are used in many profiles, you have a: Profile - > hasAndBelongsToMany -> Questions. If you are storing answers to those questions, the answers would be stored in the HABTM join table.

Re: habtm with different roles
What you have is: A message has an author and a recipient. Both the author and recipient are users so Message Table: id, Primary Key author_id, Foreign Key to Users table recipient_id, Foreign Key to Users table Check out the docs for $belongsTo, you can tell cake that the author_id field points Users.id and recipient_id points to Users.id (the same or a different user).

Re: R: Auditing
If you are using a later version of MySQL (>= 5.0.2), you could add a
database trigger (ON UPDATE, ON DELETE, etc.) to log changes
automatically without having to change your code.
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/triggers.html

Re: Practical effect of Mambo going with CakePHP?
The interesting part for me is that once Mambo is powered by PHP it should be a heck of a lot easier to develop websites that require CMS functionality. Most of the websites I develop at the moment have CMS elements (allowing the site owners to add new content, change content etc.) with some custom coded areas: e.g. an event booking system.

Re: Default Controller Action
I think this bakery article answers your question:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/taking-advantage-of-the-pages-controller
I prefer to add a page-by-page route in routes.php:
Router::connect('/contact', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'contact'));
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'about'));
(you could stick all the static pages in an array and loop through
them setting router:connect)

Re: Error message wrong line...
The PHP back end has encountered a syntax error, but reporting the 'wrong' line. Actually, the line is correct. That's the point at which the PHP backend gave up processing the file. i.e. the syntax error only became apparent when the whole block of code (terminated by the } ) was processed. The actually error is usually close by (above) the line reported in the error message.

Re: Override $conditions to query WHERE array(INTs)
> The problem is that MySQL cannot/will not take a string of integers as
> a WHERE/IN clause on an INT field
Yes it will. The problem is that your aren't passing an array in, your
passing a string.
Cake automagically converts the where clause to:
.. WHERE (`Bid`.`industry_id` IN ('400,402,403') )
because you pass in the string '400,402,403'
The correct where clause should read:
.. WHERE (`Bid`.`industry_id` IN ('400','402','403') )
Which is what you get when you pass in an array.
Re-read Mikee comment for how to pass an array in.
Hope this helps :-)

Re: problem on belongsTo many models
If I'm understanding correctly:
You will need to set up two associations:
in model equipment:
$belongsTo = array('school', 'area');
(make sure the school and area arguments above appear in the same
order as their school_id and area_id in the table)
On a related note, I'm not sure that's the best schema to represent
your data and the logic requirements.

Re: CakePHP Reference Project
I think I might have come up with a possible application: A forum. This seems to tick all the required boxes and I particularly like the idea of building it to be embedded in another cake application or run stand-alone. I've had a look on cakeforge and the only other forum related project is about including phpBB into an existing cake application. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: CakePHP Reference Project
Some great comments for all concerned :-) I haven't had a look at Cheesecake-Photoblog yet, but judging by its feature list and a (very quick look at the code) I certainly will be! I'm not trying to steal anyones thunder here. tbh, my reasons for getting the project underway are pretty selfish. I intend to use it as a tool to learn CakePHP beyond the basics of scaffolding etc. My plan is still taking shape, but what I'd like to do write some articles (and hopefully get them published, either on my blog or on the Bakery on each of the components and how they all fit together. "Another problem with a reference project might be keeping it updated with the latest CakePHP development. " That was high up on my list of priorities. As Cheescake seems to hit all the targets, perhaps I should think up another application - there's no-point re-inventing the wheel is there? Perhaps a inventory manager or an intranet portal? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: CakePHP Reference Project
Thanks for the feedback so far :-) I am, by no stretch of the imagination a Cake guru (this is why I'm starting this project).

CakePHP Reference Project
Ok, I've had my moan about the documentation for cake ;-) Time to do something about it. I'd like to create a 'Reference' Project and associated documentation. Something that uses best practices and incorporates all the common elements a commercial cake project would call on and illustrates how to bind them together into a coherent whole. What I'd like to end up with is a freely available project that people can turn to whenever they say 'how do i' I'm thinking of basing it on the blog tutorial as everyone understands what a blog is and a fully featured blog should use pretty much all of the bells and whistles most other projects require. Before I start coding, I'd like to hear what functionality and features people would like to see. My basic list would be something like: Authentication Multicolumn layouts Themes Incorporating a 3rd party WYSIWYG editor File Uploads RSS feeds (could a view be leveraged into providing these?) Article Search Site Navigation / breadcrumb components Anything else? If someone suggests something outside of the scope of a blog then I'm quite happy to change the application to something more fitting. Suggestions for other applications are welcome too. As I have to work for a living, this will be a part time project so don't expect masses of code straight away ;-) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Unoffical API / Beta RFC [new]
tbh, I wasn't being off topic (kinda ;-). Jippi was asking what people would like to see in a documentation project and I answered: Example code. It snowballed from there. I'm definitely not having a dig at all the hard work done by everyone on the CakePHP project. If I didn't think it had potential I wouldn't have bothered righting the post. Jippi, the app is looking great :-) How about posting a few tutorials on how you glued all the various bits together? Include that in the documentation and I think you are on to a winner! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Unoffical API / Beta RFC [new]
Tarique, I'm definitely not 'copying out' ;-) I'd love to contribute to CakePHP as I believe its the best thing to happen to PHP in all the time I've been programming with it (since PHP3). I was trying to illustrate that perhaps, if the documentation was available then the learning process would be faster and I would be in a better position to help others. As it stands, I'm no-where near up to speed with CakePHP to help out in any substantial way. And your are right, this is one of the most friendly, a knowledgeable lists I've subscribed to and I'm keen to take a more active roll. I understand how OSS projects are developed, but lack of documentation has sunk other worthy projects in the past. I'd hate to see cake suffer the same misfortune. I'm not asking for wikipedia scale documentation. What would really be useful would be to extend the sample Blog application to cover the stuff that make a site 'work'. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Unoffical API / Beta RFC [new]
Kudos for ralph who elequently illustrated my *only *problem with CakePHP. Cake is a top bit of coding. Seems to do so much of what I want, but the practical documentation is lacking. Code examples are crutial. Even generic ones. Specific ones are even better. No-one comes to Cake without a good understanding of PHP. What we need are concrete examples of how common stuff is done. From there we can piece together the intricacies. IMHO, the best introduction to cake was done on the IBM site: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/os-dw-os-php-cake1.html They showed, from first priciples how to put together a cake app. That's what the documentation needs. API documention is fine for CakePHP guru's, but it was only after reading the IBM stuff I *got* it. I learned more from lesson 1, than I did from anything on the Cake site. This is defintely not a winge. I'm loving Cake. If my proffessional deadlines were'nt so tight in my projects I'd be contributing documentation about what I've got it to do right now. Cake *feels* right to me, and I know this is the direction my own code should be going. As it stands, if a commercial project comes up that I think: 'This would be perfect for a Cake'. I have to pass and go back to what I know I can get working. If you want Cake to be defacto, you are going to have to publish basic tutorials on: Authentication. Showing how to develop a system where users register, sign in, sign out, have access to certain pages, how user_id's are used to filter data, etc. How a page is put together: Sounds simple I know, but I'm still struggling to see how a cake app would build a comercial (not some toy blog you couldn't charge for) site. Real websites are much more than a common header, footer and one action. *Show* how components and elements are brought together to build a page. Gah, feels like a rant - but I'm not ranting ;-) Just frustrated when I can feel the potential, but the practicallity is missing some important steps. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: How to handle multipe hasOne?
Should be:
var $hasOne = array (

"Author",
"dependent" => false,
"foreignKey" => "book_id"),
"AssistantAuthor" =>
array("classname" =>
"Author",
"dependent" => false,

);
Only the alias name should be different

Re: Data Modelling
Its duplicated data because you are already storing which branches belong to a company via the users table (users belong to a company AND a branch). If you use a nullable foreign key for the branch id you can also represent people who are in the company but not associated with any particular branch. As with most things in life, there are many right answers. You just have to pick which one is best for your particular needs. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Data Modelling
You would break the rules of database normalisation if you linked the users to the company. You would be duplicating data.

Re: OT - Q for PHPNut on DBDesigner 4 - Was: ER Tools
Another (minor) problem with the otherwise excellent DBDesigner is that
it uses MySQL old passwords. This means that once you create your MySQL
User, you then need to run the following sql before you can connect
with DBDesigner:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
Also worth noting: DBDesigner is no longer actively developed. It's
functionality is being incorporated into the MySQL GUI tools. Check out
the MySQL Workbench tool (

$tmp=$reservations['Reservation'];
foreach($tmp as $reservation) {
