Random query question
Hi everybody. I have a companies table and those companies have promotions. Each company can have up to 10 promotions but only 2 can be displayed from each company at one time. I've been trying to figure out how to generate a single query that will select only 2 promotions randomly from each company. Is that even possible? see screenshot attached -- http://screencast.com/t/dB2sqcEns so basically randomly select only 2 promotions with the same company_id... possible? how?

Lock a page that is being edited by another user
Hi, I tried searching for it but I cannot find anything useful. I am trying to lock a page that is being edited by another user. In our site there could be many admins editing the frontpage (choosing main articles and so on), I want to be able to restrict the page to be edited by a single user every time (and display a message to users that are trying to edit the particular page . e.g. - This page is being edited by user please try again later). Is there a preferable approach to something like this? I guess I could store a cookie when the page is open and closed but I am not sure how many things I have to take into consideration.

Re: Lock a page that is being edited by another user
Thank you for your answers. What I did was to create a hidden input with the current timestamp (when the edit page is generated) Upon save I check if the record has a greater timestamp than the one from the hidden input and if so i redirect back with a flash message saying This post has already been updated by user XXX 3 minutes ago. I think this is a better approach as it does not lock the page rather than check whether the record has been updated while you were editing the page. The problem with this is that all the changes are lost. So I am thinking of creating custom validation function that will handle the data.

Re: Lock a page that is being edited by another user
Ok, this is what I did for the multiple messages.
I created an array
$allmessages = array();
and then on every action on the same function I pushed a message into
the array like so:
array_push($allmessages, 'my message here');
and at the end of the function I imploded the array and set the flash
message like so:
$allmessages = implode('br /', $allmessages);
$this-Session-setFlash($allmessages,'flash_failure'); // All failure
messages use same template
good / bad practice? Cannot think of any other easy / fast way to do
it...

Cache filenames messed up
Hi. I have moved one of my applications to a new server (CentOS) and I have the following problem. The cached view files (elements or whole views) are created with messed up filenames. Here is a screenshot from the folder on two servers. I am not sure what to do... has anyone else experienced something similar? Can I create cache elements with custom filenames?

Re: Cache actions vs elements
Thank you for your replies.
I am still somewhat confused. So how do I cache view.ctp ?? it is not
an element, it is displayed through $content_for_layout
I've tried adding cake:nocache on my elements but it does not seem
to give the result I need.
For example I have this element:
cake:nocache
if($this-params['controller'] == 'frontapage'): display image 1 else:
display image 2 endif;
/cake:nocache
This is not working. When a user requests 'frontpage' the element is
cached with display image 1 and stays like this even if the user
requests another page. If the cache is deleted and the user requests a
page other than the frontpage image 2 is displayed and stays like
this I guess I have to use two different cached elements? Give
them a different key, one for the frontpage and one for the other
pages? But this is not very efficient is it?
On Oct 10, 5:33 pm, euromark dereurom...@googlemail.com wrote:
i would include the helper but NOT use the

You would have to use nocache on the sections of your ctp file you
don't want cached
To cache just the elements, you would have to cache the actions
associated with each element.

This creates two cache files in tmp/cache/views
