Re: Loading components from actions
I can see your argument but I do not think it applies to me. You must
realize my current project it simply a dummy project to learn the
CakePHP framework better and to define for myself a set of good
practices and methods for future projects when I might be working for
a client. Whether I ever run/deploy this project is not a priority to
me. It is my nature to question everything. I will not fall into a
habit of using a certain practice unless I am sure it is the most
optimal practice there is for the given type of problem. I have now
found (or created rather) a more optimal solution for my problem, and
I will use it until I am enlightened by a better one.

Re: Loading components from actions
No, it does not work for components that take use of startup()
shutdown() or initialize()
Sure, there will be worse bottlenecks, but why not solve this one now
instead of later?
I have created a ComponentLoaderComponent that will do my bidding for
the meantime.
I am assuming cake has no built in commands to load components on run-
time then. I have created a ticket for this.
Thanks for your help (*not being sarcastic)

Re: Loading components from actions
Erm... yes that will work, kind of, but then initialize(), startup()
and shutdown() will not be called in the component (at least I don't
see how they could... am I wrong?).
I did not do any speed tests, but I would not like components to be
instantiated unless needed (for instance what if the email component
had a very heavy startup() method? I am trying to develop good
practices).
My code seems more logical this way. Here is a pseudocode code
example
register action:
--if registration data validates {
save user
load email component
send email to confirm given email address
--}
This way the email component is not loaded until the app is 100% sure
it will even be sure.
...unless maybe cake will handle this potential speed problem for me
in some way I can not imagine? I am in doubt but anyone is free to
inform me.

Loading components from actions
I've come across a need to load a component via the action for speed
reasons.
My case:
I have a user controller with view(), login(), and register()
actions. I need the email component in, and only in, the register()
action. So using var $components = array(etc); is not something I
want to do for speed reasons. I do not want the component loaded for
actions that do not use it.
Looking at the docs it looks like this should work:
App::import('Component', 'Email');
But it doesn't. (??)
So how can this be done?
Thanks,
Jonah

Re: Alphabetizing SQL Data
the best way to do this is via your sql code not your php code. You'll probably need to add "ORDER BY `name`' to the end of the sql statement or something similar.

Re: Getting route-URL for internal controller/action-URL
This interests me. What if you have two routes set up though, like
so:
Router::connect('/gruppenAA', array('controller' => 'groups', 'action'
=> 'index'));
Router::connect('/gruppenBB', array('controller' => 'groups', 'action'
=> 'index'));
Now what would the below return? '/gruppenAA' or '/gruppenBB'
Router::url(array('controller' => 'groups', 'action' => 'index'))

Re: How do you make line breaks appear in views?
The best way to look up php functions is by using the search engine on the php site at http://us.php.net/ it's a very well written manual. This is what comes up when you look up nl2br() http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php Also, this is the main resource that I learned php with: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627 It's a very good set of like 10 different tutorials for php beginners good luck On Oct 8, 12:59 am, Cody Sortore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got a decent handle on PHP at least enough to get by.

Re: 2 column layout for $form->input() ?
Cake has no solution for this. css and html however, do. Instead of using html->input, use the corresponding function that does not wrap the form elements in anything, such as html->select or html->text etc. Then, use your own css and html to get it to do what you want.

Re: How do you make line breaks appear in views?
I hope I do not seem mean but I recommend learning the php language a bit better before getting into a framework. You sound like you are trying to create a form, and you want the data entered in it to be displayed with tags instead of newlines which does not output on the browser. Put the content through the nl2br() function before outputting it to the browser. when you hit "enter" in an editor, what it creates is called a "newline". As you seem to know, if you want a line-break outputted on the browser, you need instead of the newline. That is what nl2br() is for.

Re: Email component won't send
Question, will using SMTP as you suggested still work once I upload it
to dreamhost?

Re: Email component won't send
I can use mail() with localhost. I set up the php.ini to do it and it
works fine. I also got it to work with the email component, but only
if I don't contain < or > characters, that is my problem.

Re: Email component won't send
Update: I figured out I can get it to work if I remove all < and >
$this->Email->from = 'No Reply ';
$this->Email->replyTo = No Reply '';
$this->Email->return = No Reply '';
changed to this:
$this->Email->from = 'noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST');
$this->Email->replyTo = 'noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST');
$this->Email->return = 'noreply@'.env('HTTP_HOST');
Now it works, but of course now I can't supply a name. Is there a
better solution?

Re: Email component won't send
Ok, I went through the email component code and removed the '@' sign from the mail function to show error messages, and so now it gives this error: Warning (2): mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.1.0 <=?UTF-8?B??= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> '@' or '.' expected after '=?UTF-8? B??=' [CORE\cake\libs\controller\components\email.php, line 667] And this is what it ran (I put a little echo in it to see what it was putting into the mail() function) to get the error: mail(poppitypopATgmailDOTcom, =?UTF-8?B? V2VsY29tZSB0byBvdXIgcmVhbGx5IGNvb2wgdGhpbmc=?=, content stuff here , From: =?UTF-8?B??= Reply-To: =?UTF-8?B??= Return-Path: =?UTF-8?B??= X- Mailer: CakePHP Email Component Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit, )' So I conclude the problem is the ?UTF-8?B??. Which is probably something I can not fix myself. This is a bug. Could someone make a ticket for this? hehe, I really have no idea how to use trac, otherwise I would do it myself...

Re: Routing: "/recipe-your_slug_here" instead of "/recipe/your_slug_here"
I do not think /jobs/london would rank in google better than /jobs- london. /jobs-in-london on the other hand probably would. I suck at routes, haven't written a working one yet. soo..

Email component won't send
I am having a problem with the email component. I am trying to get it to send a simple text email. I have set up the layouts and templates. But for some reason it will not send. nor will it throw an error. I am using WAMP, and set up the php.ini to send email correctly as far as I can tell. The funny thing is that the php mail() function DOES work, just not the email component. Here is the code in the controller: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/2104639841 could somone glance at it?

Re: constants or config?
Oh, thanks guys, the bootstrap seems to work perfectly. I could see how the database method would be helpful as you could easily do some quick scaffolding, and supply a client with an easy way to change website settings such as the site name, and little things such as 'posts per page' for instance. But since the website name is the only thing I need stored for now, i'll use the constant method. BTW Lecter if you updated it with the caching that would be great. I may use it some day actually.

Hey guys, do you think it would be better to use a php constant to store my website name? Over using the config stuff? Because a constant would be way faster right? I would use it on EVERY page.

Re: table driven select box example for cakePHP ver 1.2.0.xxxxx
I am totaling agreeing with you Wayne. I started learning cakePHP
about 2 weeks ago and it is very hard to learn from the
documentation. What I basically had to do was read it like 3 times,
because what it was trying to tell me didn't always make sense because
I did not understand other things that were not said until later in
the documentation that were required to understand the first thing.
Blech, it definitely would be great if some more people put more time
into it.

Yeah I guess I'm going to need to do a lot of thinking about this. Thanks. And thanks for the link Renan, it actually helped. I now see there is a 'fields' option in the hasMany field, maybe I could use the bind() or bindModel() function to temporarily change that setting before using find().

Re: simple noob problem with database fetching
Ok, now I have another question. I understand that I can set 'fields'
to return only some of the table columns of the categories table. But
how do I limit the columns returned from the Scripts/Entries table
which also gets pulled because of my hasMany definition?
1 SELECT `Category`.`name`, `Category`.`id` FROM `categories` AS
`Category` WHERE `Category`.`id` = 2 LIMIT 1
2 SELECT `Script`.`id`, `Script`.`title`, `Script`.`description`,
`Script`.`content`, `Script`.`category_id`, `Script`.`user_id`,
`Script`.`created`, `Script`.`modified` FROM `scripts` AS `Script`
WHERE `Script`.`category_id` IN (2)
How do I limit the columns from the second quarry? Doing this
prevented it from pulling `created` from Categories:
$this->set('category', $this->Category->read('name')); //(it still
pulls the id though, so I am assuming you can not prevent that)
//or (seems to do the same thing)
$this->set('category', $this->Category->find(array('id' => $id),
'name'));
Also, why is cake not doing a join, but instead two separate quarries?
wouldn't that be faster?
I would think this would work:
$this->set('category', $this->Category->find( array('id' => $id),
array('Category.name', 'Script.title', 'Script.description') ));
But it doesn't! grr
Thanks,
Jonah

Re: partial recursion?
Should not have posted so fast. I seem to have found a solution:
$this->Script->unbindModel(
array('belongsTo' => array('Category'))
);
That temporally removes the relationship. Works perfectally to remove
the extra join. But it still performs quarry #2, "DESCRIBE
`categories`". humph. Why does it do that?
Thanks,

partial recursion?
Ok, so I have a Scripts table, holding php script entries (tutorials),
a Categories table, and a Users table. Each script has a category and
a user. I have all the hasMany belongsTo etc set up properly.
On my /scripts page, under the index action it lists all of the
scripts, displaying the script title, and it's user that created it,
but not it's category. So it should not even fetch category data. So
this is what it needs to fetch:
[0] => Array
(
[Script] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[title] => DB connect
[created] => 2001-06-18 16:05:40
[description] => This class that will connect to the
database test
)
[User] => Array
(
[name] => man
[id] => 1
)
)
The find() code that is working and doing the above:
$this->set('scripts', $this->Script->find('all', array(
//'recursive' => -1, //this is commented out
'fields' => array('Script.id', 'Script.title', 'Script.created',
'Script.description', 'User.name', 'User.id'),
)
));
Setting the 'fields' option kept it from returning any categories
data.
This successfully returns the correct data. BUT, when I looked at the
quarries, I saw a problem:
1) DESCRIBE `scripts`
2) DESCRIBE `categories` //not needed!
3) DESCRIBE `users`
4) SELECT `Script`.`id`, `Script`.`title`, `Script`.`created`,
`Script`.`description`, `User`.`name`, `User`.`id` FROM `scripts` AS
`Script` LEFT JOIN `categories` AS `Category` ON
(`Script`.`category_id` = `Category`.`id`) LEFT JOIN `users` AS `User`
ON (`Script`.`user_id` = `User`.`id`) WHERE 1 = 1 //excessive!
You see, it is doing a left join on categories in quarry #4, and
quarry #2 is not even needed. I understand joins can be slow. Thus I
am asking how can I get rid of it
I tried setting the option 'recursive' => -1 (you can see it commented
out), but that obviously stops it from collecting the user data too.
So I guess what I need is a partial recursion? So it performs
recursion to the Users table but not the Categories table? How can
this be done? any ideas?
Thanks,
Jonah (is very new to cake BTW, try not to use big words lol

Re: how do I handle foreign keys??
Eh, it did not work. And I read those pages, it does not seem to tell
me. Do I need to do this manually using find() to find all the
categories and than pass those to the input through 'options' or will
cake do some magic because of my $belongsTo definition? Also, if I do
it manually, how would I call the Categories modal from the Scripts
controller? This obviously did not work in my Scripts controller:
$this->Category->find('all', array('recursive' => -1));

Re: simple noob problem with database fetching
It worked. But why? I did check the api, and it said this should do
it:
$this->set('categories', $this->Category->find('all', array(), null,
-1));
The definition:
Model::find ( $conditions = null,
$ fields = array(),
$ order = null,
$ recursive = null
)
Shouldn't both codes do the same thing? is this a bug?

simple noob problem with database fetching
Ok, I have a scripts table, a categories table and a users table.
The scripts table $belongsTo = array('Category', 'User');
The categories table $hasMany = array('Script');
I have not made a modal or page for the users yet.
I have a index page for the categories. This page shows all of the
categories as a linked list. Here is the controller code:
function index() {
$this->set('categories', $this->Category->find('all'));
}
And in the view I have it display (loop through) all the categories
and it works perfectally.
The problem: it is pulling more data from the database than is
needed. This is what it is pulling (it is pulling the scripts also as
you can see):
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Category] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => cat1
[created] =>
)
[Script] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[title] => DB connect
[description] => This class that will
connect to the database test
[content] => content here
[category_id] => 1
[user_id] => 1
[created] => 2001-06-18 16:05:40
[modified] => 2008-06-18 19:58:29
)
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[Category] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => Second Category
[created] =>
)
[Script] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[title] => shoutbox
[description] => this is an easy to
install shoutbox
[content] => content goes here
[category_id] => 2
[user_id] => 2
[created] => 2008-06-05 22:29:09
[modified] => 2008-06-19 15:54:19
)
)
)
)
When all I really need is this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Category] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => cat1
[created] =>
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[Category] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => Second Category
[created] =>
)
)
)
I do not need nor want it to pull the scripts!
It is doing both these quarries:
SELECT `Category`.`id`, `Category`.`name`, `Category`.`created` FROM
`categories` AS `Category` WHERE 1 = 1
SELECT `Script`.`id`, `Script`.`title`, `Script`.`description`,
`Script`.`content`, `Script`.`category_id`, `Script`.`user_id`,
`Script`.`created`, `Script`.`modified` FROM `scripts` AS `Script`
WHERE `Script`.`category_id` IN (1, 2, 3)
But I really only need the first listed quarry. It seems to me that
the $recursive argument of find() should do it but it is not working
for me. I tried setting $recursive = -1
I feel like there is some simple option that needs to be set somewhere
and that's it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jonah

Hey that works. Thanks. I'm surprised this is not documented though.
BTW if anyone else knows any other ways also do tell, as this method
might not work in later versions of cake.

I do not understand I did not give an answer I gave another question,
the question mark indicating that. Does the RAM not effect
performance? also, it does not matter if the database is slower than
the loading of the helper. That does not mean I should not optimize
other areas besides the database. Also I do not want the Time helper
loaded into all the actions because they are not used there, and that
is bad organization, and organization is what cakePHP is about,
right? So why not try to be organized.

Jonah

No, I have not tried that. I am using 1.2. It still does not work
though. Here's my code:
controller:
class ScriptsController extends AppController {
function index() {
App::import('Helper', 'Time');
$timeHelper = new TimeHelper;
$this->set('scripts', $this->Script->find('all'));
}
[...]
View:
[...]
nice($script['Script']['created']); ?>
[...]
I got this error though:
Notice (8): Undefined variable: timeHelper [APP\views\scripts
\index.ctp, line 31]

If it does not slow it down why don't all the helpers just all get
loaded automatically? I mean, the Time helper is 538 lines of code.
It must slow it down to load that into RAM and deal with it.

Importing a helper
hello again guys
I grew a question (type: noobQuestion, cakeVersion: 1.2)
I need to include the Time helper in the 'index' action of the
'scripts' controller page. I understand I can put this in the
controller:
var $helpers = array('Time');
But that would include it into all the actions, not just the 'index'
action which I need. How do I include it into in index action alone?
I always worry about speed. Also, can I include it from the view?
that would be best, as it is only used in the view. How do i do this?
PS don't say I am to lazy to figure it out for myself, I tried.
Thanks,
Jonah

Re: Model Validation help
Looking back over my last reply I think I might have sounded a bit rude, sorry about that I did the search as you said and found one instance of the function, but was not able to make sense of it. I did do some googling and found this page though: http://grahambird.co.uk/cake/ quote from page: What will Cake do for me? Some of the things Cake does so you don’t have to: * [...] * automatically escapes data saved to the database (to prevent SQL injection attacks) That's all I needed to know.

Re: Model Validation help
If you are using cakephp and publish websites to the internet, you should very well know if it is secure. My question is do I have to do something to the data before saving it to the database manually to keep it mysql injection safe or does cake take care of that? For instance do I need to use mysql_real_escape_string() with cake? I will look at the code too but as I can barely code with cake at this point I doubt I will be able to understand it's inner workings very well at this point either.

Re: Model Validation help
Thank you! That was exactally what I was looking for. That should work nicely. Still looking for the answer to this question though: Also, does cakephp take care of mysql injection checking automagically or do I have to call mysql_real_escape_string for everything manually? Or is there something else?

Model Validation help
Ok, so i've been experimenting with model validation. It all seems very cool, except I am seeing some holes. >From the tutorial this is what I have in the controller: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/2080892837 Problem: What if data is sent through that should NOT be stored in table? How do I stop that? For example, say I had a column named "do_not_store_data_here" in the table. For some reason I do not want any data stored there. I can't think of any particular cases where I would want to do that at the moment but just go with me. I am asking how can I stop people from injecting data into there? I mean, they could easily inject it by sending post data with the key data[Script][do_not_store_data_here]. Or say I am sending POST data with $_POST['foo']. I am using the $_POST['foo'] to decide which page to redirect the user to after he submits a post on his blog. I also happen to have a column in the table named 'foo', but I do not want to store 'foo' there. What can I do in a situation like that? Also, does cakephp take care of mysql injection checking automagically or do I have to call mysql_real_escape_string for everything manually?

Routing
What I want:
/scripts/
to route to
/scripts/view
Simple. What I have:
Router::connect('/scripts/*', array('controller' => 'scripts',
'action' => 'view'));
This works for urls such as /scripts/2
But /scripts/2fsdfsdfe will also work as /scripts/2 which it shout not
Also now /scripts/ with a trailing slash does not work as expected
grrr I'm starting to consider going back to codeigniter... they
allowed for regular expressions...

Re: Static pages
Hmm ok thanks! I'll stick with this for now.

A question though, why does the above code also have 'items|images'?
I understand the admin| part but why the items/images? What pages are
those?

Re: Static pages
I tried this one: http://snook.ca/archives/cakephp/static_pages_cakephp12/
It did not work. I saved the file in app/error.php and it didn't seem
to effect a thing. I had a test.ctp vew in both the /views and /views/
pages directory (I wasn't sure where it was supposed to be so I tried
both) and they did not load.
So then I tried this method:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/taking-advantage-of-the-pages-controller
It works! Someone commented though that it will mess up admin routing
(haven't learned what that is yet). So I am not sure if I should
search for a different method. Does anyone know any good ones? That
does not require a route for each static page?

Re: Static pages
Ah, thanks guys, Dardo and b logica, I didn't realize cakephp had a
default method of handling static pages. But the default cakephp way
requires the static pages to reside at the URL /pages/staticPage
too... I'm still figuring this all out I guess. I am about to try to
attempt to use this method (thanks Dardo):
http://snook.ca/archives/cakephp/static_pages_cakephp12/
I like the sound of this method because it does not require making a
new route for every static page.
Now I also understand why my posts were taking so long to appear.
haha. Hello Chris ;-)

Static pages
Hey I'm just starting to learn cakephp and have a question... I was
wondering what the best way to handle static pages and the home page
is. This is what I've done:
In the routes file I added:
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages'));
And I commented out these two lines:
//Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' =>
'display', 'home'));
//Router::connect('/pages/*', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'
=> 'display'));
So now the top directory (the home page) routes to PagesController-
>index(); and it uses the view pages/index.ctp
Furthermore if I want a static /about page I create the route:
Router::connect('/about', array('controller' => 'pages/about'));
And now /about routes to PagesController->about(); and uses the view
at pages/about.ctp
Using this method I have to create a new route for every static page
as well as add an event for each static page in the PagesController.
Is this the best method or is there a better way? I feel like I just
made this way of doing static pages up and it's not the way they are
meant to be handled.
Also on an unrelated note, how do I find threads that I previously
made in google groups? Yesterday I made a new post and it took 6
hours to appear. And to see if it had any replies I have to search
through the Topic list
Thanks

Should I learn cake 1.1 or 1.2?
I learned the very basics of codeigniter before school started and now that school is out I decided to learn cakephp instead. However I just realized that there is a 1.1 and 1.2 beta. Which one should I learn? It seems that if a learn 1.1, by the time that I finish learning it enough to be able to release a website, 1.2 will then be out and I will want to learn that one. Which one should I learn? I also noticed that they both have separate documentations, which one would be easier to learn from?
