Re: The First CakePHP Book is out!
Just got the book and had a quick skim through it. The chapters on ORM and AJAX seem very interesting. Looking forward to going through it in detail. Thanks and congratulations to the authors and the team behind the project. I am also looking forward to David's book as well. I hope these will propel CakePHP to the next level. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

postgres dbo alterSchema and index
Hi, I was looking to use the schema shell tool for our project but it seems that postgres support is not quite there yet. In my attempts to use schema I've figured out that the postgres dbo does not have the alterSchema and the index methods implemented (overridden from the base class) which means if you're on postgres you can't use schema. So I was wondering if there was any plans to get postgres dbo upto what it needs to be so that schema would work. Is this something that will be ready for 1.2? I'd really like to use this as I think its a really neat way of managing database versions.

Re: schema shell problem
Was looking into doing the alterSchema function for postgres dbo and found that postgres dbo doesnt have the index function either! This seems a lot more complex than the alterSchema function so I might just have to wait for the Cake guys to get around to supporting postgres properly.

Re: schema shell problem
Yeah postgres dbo seems quite far behind MySQL which is a bit of shame. Just out of interest, how do you manage your database versioning?

Re: schema shell problem
Figured out what the problem is! the postgres driver does not override the alterSchema method which is responsible for generating the SQL for altering the schema. It is there in the mysql driver and works fine there. I'll try and do it for the postgres driver and update this post when/if I do.

Re: schema shell problem
Hi Marcin, I know in normal situation I'd run 'cake schema generate' to update my schema with my new DB and then commit that for others to pick up. But I am trying to emulate the situation where my schema is different to my DB and to use 'cake schema run update' to update my DB. Does that make sense?

schema shell problem
Hi,
I really like the idea of the schema shell tool. I am looking to use
it on a rather big project that we are about to embark on, this would
be really useful. I am just messing around with it to see how to do
things and have run into a problem.
I have this table:
--
create table users (
id serial primary key,
name varchar(200) not null,
email varchar(200) not null,
username varchar(20) not null,
password varchar(200) not null,
nickname varchar(20)
);
--
I ran:
--
cake schema generate
--
and i got this schema.php:
--
array('type'=>'integer', 'null' => false,
'default' =>
NULL, 'length' => 11, 'key' => 'primary'),
'name' => array('type'=>'string', 'null' => false,
'length' =>
200),
'email' => array('type'=>'string', 'null' => false,
'length' =>
200),
'username' => array('type'=>'string', 'null' => false,
'length' =>
20),
'password' => array('type'=>'string', 'null' => false,
'length' =>
200),
'nickname' => array('type'=>'string', 'null' => true,
'length' =>
20),
'indexes' => array('0' => array())
);
}
?>
--
Then I go to the DB and drop the nickname column and then try and run:
--
cake schema run update
--
and I get this:
--
Welcome to CakePHP v1.2.0.7296 RC2 Console
---
App : app
Path: /home/ziad/public_html/newmts/app
---
Cake Schema Shell
---
Comparing Database to Schema...
PHP Warning: array_diff_assoc(): Argument #2 is not an array in /home/
ziad/public_html/newmts/cake/libs/model/schema.php on line 396
Warning: array_diff_assoc(): Argument #2 is not an array in /home/ziad/
public_html/newmts/cake/libs/model/schema.php on line 396
The following statements will run.
Are you sure you want to alter the tables? (y/n)
[n] > y
Updating Database...
users is up to date.
End update.
--
Nothing changes in the database! I except the users table to have the
nickname column added but it doesn't.
Anybody have this problem? Any ideas how to fix this? I'd really like
to use this feature of Cake 1.2.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. I have Cake 1.2 RC2 and PostgreSQL 8.2

Re: Cake integration with other app and session
Hi Chris, Thanks for your response, that certainly goes some way towards explaining why it happens. What about my question of do you see any issue/problem with commenting out this session recreation code? I guess there is the general issue of sharing session data between two applications, but if both applications are generally secure then are there any other issues that people can see? Sorry to be somewhat pedantic about this, its just that if anyone out there can see an issue then that would save me getting too deep into this before having to pull back. Thanks again.

Cake integration with other app and session
Hi everyone,
I have an issue that I'd like people's comment(s) on. I am trying to
integrate an existing app with Cake. We are planning to move the
entire app over to Cake eventually but will have to do it in stages.
So we are planning to write new parts of the app in Cake and slowly
move old stuff over.
The problem that I was having was with sessions. It seems that Cake
closes any existing session before doing anything with sessions within
Cake. Session data from my other app is available in Cake. But session
data that I save in Cake is not available in the other app. I've got
around this by commenting out line 167 in cake/libs/session.php:
function start() {
if (function_exists('session_write_close')) {
// session_write_close(); <-- this line
}
$this->__initSession();
return $this->__startSession();
}
This seems to work fine but I was wondering if any of the Cake experts
could point out any negative implications/side effects of doing this.
I would really appreciate any feedback from you guys.
Thanks in advance.
Ziad

Model within Model
Hi all, I did some searching for this but could not find anything. Is there a way for me to get access to other models from within a model? What I want to do is have my own function inside one of my models that needs access to another model. How can this be achieved? So something like the $uses in controllers. Does it exist?

Re: Postgres sequence not updating!
Thanks Nate, that seems to have fixed the problem! We guessed it was a
caching problem but just couldn't figure out how to turn it off.
Thanks again for your quick response.

Postgres sequence not updating!
Hi everyone,
I have a sequence (in postgres) that I am using to get invoice
numbers. This sequence is not 'attached' to any of the models, I am
just using it to generate numbers. However, when I call a nextval on
the sequence in a loop, I keep getting the same number from the
sequence:
foreach(...) {
$invNumberRes = null;
$invNumber = null;
$invNumberRes = $this->Fee->execute("SELECT
nextval('invoice_number')");
$invNumber = $invNumberRes[0][0]['nextval'];
}
I am getting the same value each time I am going around the loop. But
each time I run the script the number is being incremented by 1. Even
stranger, when I run a:
SELECT currval('invoice_number');
on the database directly its not changing after the script!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Cake version: 1.1.13.4450
PHP version: 5.2
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.4
Thanks in advance.

Re: Mission critical application & high security user auth and access levels
Hello Langdon; thanks for the great advice. as far as security goes i will go with your opinion and use cakes ACL. about oscommerce it completely agree with you. i once built a site and integrated oscommers into it, it was the worse experince i ever had. this thing is a monster, every other line is a mix of php, sql, and straigh up html. looks like a spaghitti dish that went horribly wrong. but hey, its free! i researched and found "BakeSale" http://bakesalehq.com/, its a php based but very simple, i think im going to use it and hopefully be able to integrate a payment gateway into it. let me know about your custom shopping cart. thanks for hte advise again regards Zee On 3/27/07, Langdon Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Zee > > > Any suggestions? othAuth perhaps? oscommerce? hmmm > > My preference for authentication id d_auth (passwords not transmitted in > the clear). > > I use ACL for access control to both functionality (actions) and to data > > I have built a number of sites with osCommerce and Cake (and Drupal) and > frankly I am sick of it. osC is a great product if you spend all of your > time in it.
