Discussion on optimizing-cakes-performance
"If users commonly search 'product names' you may want to make that field a FULLTEXT index. This will make searches much faster." Have you verified this? Using a fulltext index requires the "MATCHES" function in the SQL, it doesn't get used if you do a "WHERE foo=" type query. I don't see any code in CakePHP that uses the MATCHES function. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: CakePHP with PBX System.. Is it doable?
Hi Reza, Most PBX systems log with a feature called Call Detail Recording (or Records), CDR for short. How to get at them depends on the system, but generally there is a card in the PBX with a serial output that spits out the CDR records. Attached to this is often a buffer box that a PC dials into periodically to fetch records, or it could be tied into the hotel management system directly for real time reporting. It might also be done on the management interface by issuing a command to dump the CDR records and flush the logs. If this is the case, you'll probably attach the CDR port to the PC directly, and write a daemon that logs the CDR records (flat file, probably .CSV) into your database. Cake, or whatever other apps you use, will read the data from your SQL database.

Re: looking for a hosting company
I once had a Godaddy VPS, it started off pretty well but eventually the disk latency became absurd.

Re: Is cake generating inefficient SQL? (uses IN clause)
A covering index might also help, depending on what type of field b.field_2 is. CREATE INDEX cover_field2 ON b (id,field_2); If field_2 is a short varchar then there is a greater chance that mysql will just read the index and grab the data from there, and never touch the table. If you need a bunch more fields then the covering technique loses its effectiveness.

Re: newbie question - multiple functions in a page

That tutorial certainly explains requestAction and how cool it is, but
I'm left thinking "what happened to the skinny controller, fat model"
concept? Why am I going to wind my way (again) through the Cake
framework only to get at a piece of data that the model should know
about anyway?
For example, tag cloud. We have a tag model, presumably linked to
posts or something. Within the tag model I'd have a function,
tagCloud, that would return the tag cloud in an array, something like
$ret[0]["tag"] = "cake";
$ret[0]["count"] = "5";
$ret[1]["tag"] = "php";
$ret[1]["count"] = "6";
In the controller generating the post, we'd add "Tags" to the $uses
array, and in the action do a
$this->set("tagcloud", $this->Tag->tagCloud());
The tag cloud HTML would be encapsulated in an element so that anyone
could use it from the view, $this->renderElement("tagcloud",
array("data" => $tagcloud))
None of this precludes using requestAction... In fact the reason I
arrived at this conclusion is by starting off there, realizing the job
of collecting the tag cloud data belongs in the model, realized we
need an element anyway, so why bother using requestAction when I can
just set() it in the controller and still be blissfully unaware about
how the data is constructed?
BTW this extends to the other cases the OP mentioned, ie $this->Books-
>getReadingList(5), etc.
The post that opened my eyes to the fat model concept:
http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2006/10/18/skinny-controller-fat-model
It's written for Ruby on Rails, but it's easy enough to translate to
PHP.

Re: Multiple Slave Servers?
Mike, they'll both work. The advantages of load balancing are that
you can add and remove servers at will, without changing the app. If
a slave goes down, your load balancer takes care of it. You can apply
different load balancing algorithms, such as least connections, to
distribute the load. The advantages of the code based approach is
simplicity. If you ever partition/shard your databases you're going to
need some application logic to pick the right database, too.
My day job is as a network guy so I use load balancers frequently and
am comfortable with them, which is why it's one of the first things
that come to mind (I've also been involved in projects where we had
code across a dozen servers in multiple places for the list of
memcached servers, updating the list of servers was not a fun task).

Re: Multiple Slave Servers?
Most of those protocols are balanced at layer 4 (IP and port), the load balancer has no knowledge of the underlying protocol. Just balance port 3306 across your slaves, it'll work just fine.

Re: Multiple Slave Servers?
For multiple slave servers I'd look at a load balancer, either hardware or ipvs + heartbeat. There's more than just "which server do I send it to?", there's also making sure the server is alive and not too lagged.

Re: Auth->allow not working at all?
Arne,
Good to see you got the other stuff going, I just replied so I guess
you can ignore that :)
Use $this->Auth->allow("*") to allow access to all actions, or $this-
>Auth->allow("foo", "bar") to allow access to the foo and bar actions
of the current controller.
Your login handler is allowed access no matter what.

Re: Simplest usage of the new Auth component?
Arne,
You don't have to use the Acl component, I was just playing around
with various things and forgot to take it out :) (I'm just picking up
CakePHP myself)
If you don't have $this->Auth available, make sure you're using Auth
in app_controller.php

That's probably because the authentication is failing, or not being
checked.
Remember I don't use username and password, I use email and password.
So make sure that in app_controller.php where I have
$this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'email', 'password' =>
'password');
you have
$this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'username', 'password' =>
'password');
Did you also null out your salt in config.php?
I posted my code (login.ctp and users_controller.php) to
http://pastebin.ca/767192
