Solved.  For anyone that finds this in future the function is
$this->response->statusCode(404) not $this->response-> httpCodes(404).

Thank you Leandro - I can't see where that outputs a 404 header though?

Sending a 404 header from the controller

[Alex Bovey]

Hello all,

I would like one of my controller methods to be able to send a 404 Not
Found header, but still render the view as normal.  I've tried both of the
following at the beginning of my controller method, but Cake is still
returning a 200 OK header:

$this->response->header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
$this->response->httpCodes(404);

Please note that I don't just want to do a custom 404 page - I still want
to render the page using the current controller method.

I am using Cake 2.4.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks all,

Alex

Form helper not adding "required" class to fields from deep model associations

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

In my Cake 2.3 app I'm using saveAll($this->request->data, array('deep' =>
true)) to save deep model associations and the validation is working fine.
 My input fields for any deeply associated models have the error class
applied if I try to submit the form having left them blank, which is great.

The problem is that the Form helper isn't adding the "required" class to
the div of any deeply associated models - e.g.:

-

echo $this->Form->create('MyModel');
echo $this->Form->input('MyModel.required_field); // this field correctly
has the "required" class :-)
echo $this->Form->input('MyRelatedModel.required_field); // this field also
has the "required" class :-)
echo $this->Form->input('MyRelatedModel.AnotherModel.required_field); //
this field does NOT have the "required" class :-(

-

Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks!

Alex

Using Tree behavior with Postgres database

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

I am using Postgres for the first time and I am running into problems when
using the Tree behavior on my Page model.  I am familiar with the Tree
behavior and have used it many times with MySQL so I know my pages table is
set up correctly.

I can insert new records and the lft, rght and parent_id fields appear to
be updating OK, but when I run the recover() function on the tree, or I try
to use moveUp() or moveDown() I get an error from a specific query:

ERROR:  column "Page.lft" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in
an aggregate function
 ^
In statement:
SELECT MAX("Page"."rght") AS "rght" FROM "public"."pages" AS "Page" WHERE 1
= 1 ORDER BY "Page"."lft" ASC LIMIT 1

Anyone encountered this before or know of a solution?

Thanks very much,

Alex

Using Auth component with two different models

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

What's the best technique to use if I have two separate areas of my site
and I want the Auth component to use two separate models to log in to those
areas?

I have tried setting the $this->Auth->authenticate['Form']['userModel']
from the controller but that doesn't seem to have any effect...

Thanks all,

Alex

Hi Christian,

Thanks very much for your reply and advice also - revision behavior looks
like it might do the best job so I'll take a closer look at that now.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Vinícius,

Thanks very much for your reply and advice - sounds pretty sensible, and
actually sounds pretty similar to the revision behavior that Christian
suggested.

Thanks for the advice,

Content moderation in CakePHP

[Alex Bovey]

Hello all,

I'm just wondering how best to approach content moderation and wondered
whether anyone that has done something similar could offer any advice?

For example, I have Users that have many Posts.  Whenever a Post is added
it needs to be approved before being published (easy), but also when a Post
is edited the changes will need to be held in moderation before being
published.  Whilst awaiting moderation, the previous version of the Post
should stay live on the site until the new version is published.

Also if a User edits a Post that is currently awaiting moderation, they
should be presented with the latest (unmoderated) version to edit instead
of the current live version.

For this scenario Posts do not HABTM Tags, which keeps it simpler.

So far I have thought of two approaches:

1) Have two tables for Posts and ModeratedPosts and a ModeratedPost
belongsTo a Post.  A Post only becomes a ModeratedPost when it has been
approved.

2) Store both Posts and ModeratedPosts in the same table with a 'moderated'
boolean.  I would still need some way of linking records together so that a
Post belongsTo a ModeratedPost.

Any thoughts welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Alex

User login after register does not work

[alex sandor]

Hello,
in my opinion website usability wants me to log in my users right after 
registration. It makes no sense to force them to reenter their log in 
information after they already filled out the registration 
form successfully.

public function signup() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. 
Please, try again.'));
}
}
}
In this code $this->Auth->login() just returns false. The User is saved 
correctly however.

public function signup() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->User->create();
if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
if ($this->Auth->login($this->request->data)) {
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. 
Please, try again.'));
}
}
}
In this code the Auth and the Session only contains field that are also in 
$this->request->data, but not other fields of User like "id".

Both examples above do not do what i want. I need ALL fields of User right 
after registration/signup, including "id" and others.

My view(parsed) looks like this:
   
Name
Email
Passwort
Passwort
Sign Up   


And last but not least in my AppController:
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth' => array(
'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 
'settings'),
'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 
'display', 'home'),
'authenticate' => array(
'Form' => array(
'fields' => array('username' => 'email')
)
)
)
);

Hi Bill,

Yes I have done this before, but I didn't find an elegant solution so
I did exactly what you mention and walked the tree (to a fixed depth)
and inserted the nodes.

I'll post the code up somewhere now just in case it saves you a bit of
time, but it's pretty ugly.

I know what you mean though - it seems to be a pretty common
requirement so I'm surprised there isn't a more obvious way of doing
it.  I guess using find('threaded') and unsetting the parent_ids
didn't work?

Thanks,

Alex

The searches are within the database yes, the problem is that "not much of

Converting it after performing the search wouldn't help the performance of

Change created/modified to unix time

[Alex]

Hi,

I currently make use of the created and modified fields throughout my 
application but being datetime fields, performing searches/comparisons 
isn't as fast as they could be if unix timestamps were used.

I realise there may be the excuse that formatting would be required as unix 
timestamps are unreadable, but this is also the case with the current setup 
as how many people use -MM-DD HH:MM:SS when displaying dates? it's 
usually DD-MM- or MM-DD-.

What does everyone else think?

Is there a way to convert the current created/modified fields to UNIX 
timestamps with current CakePHP?

Geocoding

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

What behavior / component / plugin is everyone using for geocoding these
days?

I want to use either Yahoo or Google Maps and I've found a bakery article
from Nate in 2007 but can't find the actual behavior anywhere:

http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/nate/2007/04/13/geocoding-in-cakephp

As that was 5 years ago I guess there might be a more evolved solution now
anyway?

THanks,

Alex

Ampersands in URLs with CakePHP and Apache mod_rewrite

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing problems when using ampersands in named parameters (Cake
1.3) which is a well known mod_rewrite problem.

e.g. if I request www.mysite.com/test/search:this%26that

Apache rewrites it to:

webroot/index.php?search:this&that

That means it's not parsed correctly by CakePHP, as the ampersand in the
URL treats the query string as separate name / value pairs.

I don't want to double escape the ampersand as this results in ugly URLs.

Apache introduced a B flag to rewrite rules in version 2.2.7 which solves
the problem but it's shared hosting and they won't upgrade to that.  I also
tried the NE (no escape) rule but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Anyone experienced the same problem and found a good solution?

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks for the responses all.

Miles - I'm interested to know your rationale for that approach, which
I always used to follow, but find a helper so much more convenient
when you want to make a minor adjustment to the image size.

What happens when you find you need a different size for whatever
reason?  Do you simply have a function that lets you regenerate all
images to a certain size, presuming you keep the originally uploaded
image?

Thanks, Alex

Infinite re-direct during login

[Alex]

Hi,

First of all, I don't have any experience with CakePHP. I know PHP
itself but that is clearly not enough. I'm completely lost on this.

At work, I inherited this application that was developed using CakePHP
0.2.9. The application was working fine until 2 to 3 weeks ago, when
started having this problem (see below). Nobody else has access to the
application to change anything so it was not caused by code changes
(all files within the application are dated 2009). I contacted the
server's administrators to ask if any updates/upgrades/changes have
been done to the server, PHP and/or MySQL but they said none.

The problem is simple. When I get in to the site (http://
www.mysite.com/, it automatically tries to redirects to the login
page.

If I simply type http://www.mysite.com/ it returns saying that page
http://www.mysite.com/login not found.

If I type http://www.mysite.com/index.php it crashes. In Firefox, it
says "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request
for this address in a way that will never complete" In Chrome it says
"The webpage http://www.mysite.com/index.php/login/login/login/login/login...
has resulted in too many redirects. (...)"

BTW, the server runs PHP 5.2.13.

Any ideas on what might have caused this problem outside code?
What other information can I give to help you help me?

Thanks,
Alex

I'm not overly familiar with Cake's core architecture, so what code
would this be?  i.e. something in component / helper / behavior?  I
was wrongly under the impression that the rendering would start as
soon as the controller action had finished...

It wasn't the first component but it is now!

DebugKit Toolbar timeline isn't adding up

Any ideas where this may be coming from?  This is v1.2.7.

You can't control memory in PHP.
I'd try different combos of max_execution_time[1] and memory_limit[2]. 
However I don't think this will help you much with the huge data sets 
you've mentioned.
Another approach will be to split you data into blocks of n size and 
save it using Model::saveAll($data).


HTH.

P.S. Providing a DB schema and some code would help everyone to better 
understand your situation.

Hi Dave,
I use something similar in one of my apps. Here are some snippets from 
my code, slightly adapted to your example.


app/config/database.php
class DATABASE_CONFIG {

var $default = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'host',
'login' => 'user',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'default_db',
'prefix' => '',
);

var $resource = array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'host',
'login' => 'user',
'password' => 'pass',
'database' => 'resources_db',
'prefix' => '',
);

}

app/models/user.php
class User extends AppModel {
   ..
public $belongsTo = array(
'Country' => array(
'className' => 'Country',
'foreignKey' => 'country_id',
),
);

}

app/models/country.php
class Country extends AppModel {

public $useDbConfig = 'resource';

public $hasMany = array(
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'foreignKey' => 'country_id',

)
);

}

With this setup I can do something like:

$this->User->find('random', array('contain' => array('Country'), 'limit' 
=> 10));

Re: Get Random Articles.

[Alex Ciobanu]

max = select max(field) from table
select * from table WHERE field>= ${rand(1, max)} ORDER BY field ASC
LIMIT 1

OR

select * from table ORDER BY (field>= ${rand(1, max)}) DESC, field
ASC LIMIT 1

If you're use case is more demanding/complex than that here's a
behavior which does the above using a field named "random" and even
allows you to paginate 'random' data:

Why don't you try something like:

$this->Model->find('first', array('order' => 'RAND()'));

Yup - I know, but I have multiple prefixes; so if I am diverted from, say,

$this->Auth->loginAction = array('user' => false, 'admin' =>

Have you considered teknoid's method [1]?
The downside is that you'll have to create actions for all your prefixes.

Login from external service

[Alex Schlieck]

Hi
I'm new to CakePhp. So far it's been a great framework, but now I've
run into a bit of a snag.
The web app that we're working on has a client front end which is
completely separate from cakePhp (Currently using the Qooxdoo
library). The client and server comunicate using json and named
parameters, and for the most part it works great. The only thing that
I can't get working from the client is the login. I've tried to adapt
what's shown in the tutorials, but I think that I don't understand
Cake well enough yet.

I'm trying to take the username and password from the URL, and send it
to the Auth component. It fills what I send in to the fields, but it
doesn't actually log me in.

Thank you for your help
Alex



Here is what I have so far:

Url:
localhost/server/users/login/username:name/password:pass

Controller:
Auth->allow('*');

if(isSet($this->passedArgs['username']))
{
$this->data['User']['username'] = 
$this->passedArgs['username'];
}
if(isSet($this->passedArgs['password']))
{
$this->data['User']['password'] = 
$this->passedArgs['password'];
}
}

function login(){
}


function logout()
{
$this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
}


View:
Log in
create('User',array('action'=>'login'));?>
input('username');?>
input('password', array('type'=>'password'));?>
end('login');?>

How to identify functions causing apache CPU usage

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

I've got a number of apache processes using a lot of CPU on my VPS.

I've used lsof -p to see which files are open but I presume because it's
CakePHP and therefore uses a dispatcher the only open dir I'm seeing is
/home/%sitename%/public_html/app/webroot

Any other tips for tracing what is running so slowly?

Thanks all,

Alex

Admin interface templates / themes for CakePHP

Has anyone used any nice admin interface templates with CakePHP?

templates working nicely with Cake?

Why are PHP notices still displayed when debug level is 0?

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

I'm sure a few versions ago, PHP notices were never displayed when in
production mode (debug 0) but now they are being shown.

What's the best way of turning off notices when in production mode?

Xampp from Apache friends

[alex]

Hi,

I am new to cake and I am running xampp from apache friends on a
Windows vista pc.

I am having trouble getting it to run though.

The home page is missing image & the css is not working.

I have read someplace that this is a .htaccess problem and else where
taht it can be sorted by making changes to the apache http config
files.

Has anybody here had experience of & found a solution to this problem?

Thanks

Re: contain param ignored

[Alex Payne]

You probably just need to set the model to be containable.
i.e.
$this->ModelName->Behaviors->attach('Containable');
var $paginate = array(
   'limit' => 10,
   'page' => 1,
   'order'=>array('Site.sort_order' => 'ASC'),
   'fields' => array('*'),
   'contain' => array(
   'SiteIllustration' => array(
   'fields' => array('id'),
   'SiteIllustrationThumb'
   )
   )
);
$result = $this->paginate('ModelName');

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers Mike - I will give that a go in the first instance  - might even go
to 1.3.

Interesting what you say about custom queries.

I definitely need to add some more caching but I thought there might be a
quick fix reducing the number of queries first.

Re: Too many SQL queries!!

[Alex Bovey]

Well, my debug level is 0 for production but since I can't see the SQL log
I'm turning it to 2 for debugging.

Can I get cake to log the SQL somewhere and still set debug to 0?

Interestingly I found this, which seems to imply that Containable is the
cause of the problem, rather than the solution:

http://www.endyourif.com/cakephp-containable-statement-pitfalls/

Indeed if I stop using containable and instead set recursive to 0 or 1, I
get fewer queries.

Hmm, maybe it's time to start writing custom queries?

Re: Too many SQL queries!!

[Alex Bovey]

Hi Nick,

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry I should have said in my original post - I'm already using Containable
AND setting recursive to -1 in app_model.php.

But still the selects are incredibly inefficient - a single query to fetch
each individual row?!

I'm not specifying 'fields' but surely that's not going to mean the
difference between what should be 2 queries at most, and the thousands I'm
ending up with...

Thanks,

Alex

Too many SQL queries!!

[Alex Bovey]

Hi all,

Using Cake 1.2.0.6311 I'm having real problems with the number of SQL
queries in my app.

For example, I have Enquiry belongsTo User and User hasMany Enquiry.

A simple $this->Enquiry->find('all') results in one query to fetch the
enquiries, and then a separate query for every single Enquiry to fetch the
User for that Enquiry.

When I have more complex model relations I'm ending up with over 10,000 SQL
queries.

What am I doing wrong?!

Thanks,

Alex

helper, which has the value method for turning arbitrary PHP objects

App::import('Helper', 'Googlemap');

class GooglemapHelperTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
function startTest() {
$this->Googlemap = new GooglemapHelper();
$this->Js = new JsHelper();
}

function testJs() {
$testArray = array(
'border' => '1px solid black',
'padding' => '5px',
'float' => 'left',
'clear' => 'both',
);
debug($this->Js->value($testArray));
}

function endTest() {
unset($this->Googlemap);
unset($this->Js);
ClassRegistry::flush();
}
}

The intention is to test my helper (Googlemap above), which uses the
Js helper, and the same error will appear if I just test a method in
my helper that uses $this->Js->value. I wonder what I'm missing in
this setup?

Email Component - Double Send

[alex]

Hi, I have used this component with this following snippet code:

foreach( $list as $mail ){
$this->Email->subject = 'HermesList';
$this->Email->replyTo = 'i...@alex.it';
    $this->Email->from = 'Alex ';
$this->Email->to = $mail['mails']['mail'];

$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
$this->Email->template = 
'email/html/Template/template';
$this->Email->sendAs = 'html';
$this->set('titolo', 
$data['Content']['titolo']);
$this->set('descrizione', 
$data['Content']['descrizione']);
$this->set('mail', $mail['mails']['mail']);
$this->set('image', $data['Content']['link']);
$this->Email->send();
$this->Email->reset();
}

It works fine but some emails are sent twice!!!
Thanks

Re: Release: CakePHP 1.3.1

[Alex Seim]

According to this:
http://cakephp.lighthouseapp.com/projects/42648/tickets/769-unserialize-error-cakephp-131-unusable-on-windows
You have to edit file.php in order to fix it (which in not desirable
too)

WorldPay component

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a WorldPay component available for CakePHP?  All
I've really found is bakepay which doesn't seem to be complete:

Using a controller in a shell task

[Alex P]

Hi guys,

Can anyone help me out with this. I have a function that I use within
say a messages controller, but I also want to call this from a cron
shell task.
I can get to it by doing various App::imports but then the model -
>Behaviors->attach doesn't work.

Can anyone provide a definitive solution to using a controller with
all the helpers/models needed from within a shell task?

Thanks in advance.

increase performance with often used queries

[alex bailey]

Hi people :)

I've been working on my cakephp project for some time now and now i
start to realize that I must be able to do something with the
performance. I've read alot of tutorials and I will for sure use them
later on but now I have a different concern. Lets say for example I
have a Car model a car has a user, speed, name etc.
Every user who is logged in has a certain car like

 User id 4 has car id 4
 User id 5 has car id 5

You get the idea.

Now what my problem:

I have to use this 1 car belonging to the user in many different
controllers.
The result is I use something like  $this->Car->findById(5); very
often creating maybe 5-6 times the same query on 1 page!

Is there a way to reduce this somehow? Like fetching the model data
once and use it for all controllers or cache it somewhere for that 1
user?

I really appreciate any help.

Regards

Alex

Re: repeatedly call controller action through ajax

[alex bailey]

Hi John,

thanks for your answer could you explain a bit further how to retrieve
the condition and return it with the result? I've worked with php a
long time now but i just recently delved into ajax so I still have to
find my way around. And btw my normal page loading works without ajax
I only want a action which reacts to specified events (like a change
in the database) to be executed over and over again and "do something"
if that certain event happens.

Regards

Alex

repeatedly call controller action through ajax

[alex bailey]

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with my project where I could freak out about.
The situation is the following:

I have a controller foo which has an action bar.

Now the thing i want to get going: have the bar action running all the
time while your on the page by a fixed interval with a condition if a
certain entry is made in the database.

I got it to work by using ajax and the remoteTimer method. But now I
have the following problem:

I can't figure out how I can have a "dynamic condition"  like: Only
run the ajax event if a certain field in database is set to 0 or 1

I know I can control the execution by the condition param and using a
javascript If() (Like: 'condition' => '10 == 90' which will prevent it
from running) in there but is it possible to populate this condition
dynamically from the database or is there even a better way to handle
this whole situation?

Big thanks in advance.

Regards

Alex

Always there with solid advice JB - ta!

Yeah I think I'm just too lazy when it comes to indexes.  Definitely
using Containable, but should probably be making better use of
caching.

Whilst there is the core cache library which is great, do you use any
kind of component in front of this to abstract it?  Or is it a case of
manually checking whether the cached element exists in your controller
action and then if not fetching from the DB?

Tips on performance monitoring / profiling

Hi all,

Has anyone got any tips on performance monitoring and profiling a cake app?

I'm using containable and number of queries doesn't look too bad but
it's all running pretty slowly at the moment.

Auto create new entry in database wenn model is saved

[alex bailey]

Hi folks,

I recently started using cakephp for one of my projects and I already
really like it, now I have a problem which I worked on for a while but
couldnt solve it yet...

Lets say I have a User model and a user has a related table like Car:

User 1 -- 1 Car

Now by using a Form I want to save the user and the car to the
database but now comes my problem:

Car also has relations to 3 other tables which must be also created
when a new car is created for example:

   1 Carmodel table
User1 -- 1 Car -- 1Attribute table
   1 Misc table

Is there a way I can also create those 3 related tables for car when I
save User and Car?

Thanks in advance

regards

Alex

Re: Loop Issue Cakephp

[alex]

I notice that removing $this->flash(...) and writing only the code of
redirecting $this->redirect('action'=>'index'); that pic isn't
appeared again...

my index function is that standard :

function index() {
$this->Content->recursive = 0;
$this->set('contents', $this->paginate());
}

why ?

Loop Issue Cakephp

[alex]

Hi, I'm trying to develop a mailing list  In the controller
CONTENTS there's a function called sendMailingList
[code]
$list = $this->Content->query("SELECT * FROM mails WHERE sub =
'1'");
$data = $this->Content->find($id);

$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
  .
);

foreach($list as $info){
$this->Email->subject = 'Test';
$this->Email->replyTo = 'no-re...@.it;
$this->Email->from = 'xxx ';

$this->Email->to = 'mailingl...@alexgenovese.it';
$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
$this->Email->template = 'html/default';
$this->Email->sendAs = 'html';
$this->Email->to = $info['mails']['mail'];
$this->set('title', $data['Content']['titolo']);
$this->set('content_for_layout', 
$data['Content']['descrizione']);
$this->set('image', $data['Content']['link']);
$this->set('mail', $this->Email->to);
$this->Email->send();
}

    $this->flash(__('Email sent', true), array
('action'=>'index'));
[/code]

Multiple Email with Cakephp component

[alex]

Hi... I have an issue about multiple send...my view call a function
called simplesendmail:

[code]

function sendSimpleMail($id = null) {

$list = $this->Content->query("SELECT * FROM mails WHERE sub =
'1'");
$data = $this->Content->find($id);

/* SMTP Options */
$this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
  .
   
);

foreach($list as $info){
$this->Email->to = $info['mails']['mail'];
}

$this->Email->subject = 'Test - Mailing List';
$this->Email->replyTo = 'Test@ Test.org';
$this->Email->from = 'Test < Test@ Test.it>';

/* Set delivery method */
$this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
$this->Email->template = 'html/default';
$this->Email->sendAs = 'html';
$this->set('title', $data['Content']['titolo']);
$this->set('content_for_layout', 
$data['Content']['descrizione']);
$this->set('image', $data['Content']['link']);

if ( $this->Email->send() ) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Simple email sent');
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Simple email not sent');
}
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}

[/code]

it works for a single send i modified the simple send adding the
follow code:

[code]
foreach($list as $info){
$this->Email->to = $info['mails']['mail'];
}
[/code]

where $info is an array of emails...

how can i add multiple recipients for a multiple send ?

Thanks

Re: cake 1.3 var $scaffold redirect

[Alex Ciminian]

I've got it working by overwriting the scaffold controller in the cake
library with the controller from version 1.2.4. I did a diff on the
two files and I noticed that the main difference is the use of
$_validSession in the newer file. I'm new to CakePHP (this is my first
project), so I don't know if what I did is heresy, but it seems to
work. Maybe we should submit a bug for version 1.3?

Re: base path route don't work

[Alex]

I have the same problem. I'm not very familiar with mod_rewrite, cake
or apache in general so it's a bit hard to figure out. I can access my
website at http://localhost/site1/ but can't find how to change
settings to http://localhost. When I open http://localhost it shows an
empty page instead of index.php page as in http://localhost/site1.
DocumentRoot directory in apache is set according to Cake install doc
and other params as well.

Please advise

MVC Design Question

[Alex Jeffery]

Hi,

I am building a small cake application to learn MVC and cakePHP.
I have a question about where to put business logic, I have read that
controls should be skinny and models should be fat. Eg the business
rules should live in the models.

In my application I have the following models User, Portfolio,
Currency.
A user has 1 portfolio which has 1 currency. When I register a user I
would like to create their portfolio and assign it the default
currency.

My question is where to do the creation of the portfolio?
(Fat Controller)
1. Call the User model to create a new user.
2. Call the Currency model to get the default currency.
3. Call the Portfolio model to create a new portfolio for the new user
with the default currency.

Or

(Fat Model)
1. The controller calls a custom function on the Users model. Eg
registerUser($formData)
2. The User model validates and saves the new user.
3. The user model then calls the Portfolio model to create a new
portfolio for the new user.
4. The Portfolio model calls the Currency model to get the default
currency and creates the new portfolio for the new user.

The advantage I can see to the Fat Model way is that the logic for
registering a new user is all in one spot.
So if I have many controllers that need to register a new user I can
just use the same code.

Is this on the right track?

Thanks,
Alex

Re: Debug Comment Data in JSON Results

Ahh, I see. Didn't think to write the debug configuration based on the

Annoying though that it appends that right? What practical purpose

Debug Comment Data in JSON Results

[Alex]

I'm using the javascript->object() method to return JSON data for XHR
requests. All works great when the cake debug level is set to 0, but
when higher will append an html style comment to my JSON data like so:
"", indicating the response time of the request. This
prohibits the JSON data from being evaluated. Is there anyway to keep
a non-zero debug level and keep cake from appending this value?

Thanks,

Strange problem with App:Import of controller class

[Alex, the Marrch Ca'at]

I have two controller classes:
class PagesController extends AppController {
(...)
function home() {
App::import('Controller', 'NewsPosts');
$controller = new NewsPostsController();
$this->set('NewsGrouped', $controller->_getNewsGrouped());
}
(...)
}
and
class NewsPostsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'NewsPosts';
var $uses = array('NewsPost', 'NewsType');
(...)
function index(){
$this->set('NewsGrouped', $this->_getNewsGrouped());
}
function _getNewsGrouped(){
$types = $this->NewsType->find('all', array('conditions' =>
array('max_num >' => 0),
'order' =>
'NewsType.order'));
(...)
}
(...)
}

When I call http://mysite/news_posts/index, everything works fine, but
when I call http://mysite, that is mapped to PagesController::home
action, I get an error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function find() on a non-object
in Z:\home\test1.ru\www\app\controllers\news_posts_controller.php on
line 24
I can't really understand that, since I use the same scheme in several
other places and it works fine everytime. What could be the problem??

session reset issues

[Alex]

I have been trying to get session to not reset going from one
controller action to another via a link, but it seems pretty difficult
to try and troubleshoot. I am using cakephp 1.1. I turned all of the
security settings I could find to low. It still seems to break though.
I am guessing that there is a server setting run amuck. When I try to
apply configurations to php via .htaccess I get a nifty internal
error. This is all using a machighway.com account. (Not my choice at
all.)

What are the possible reasons for this? This was all working fine from
my testbox running XP and XAMP.

Also what are some inexpensive isp's with cakephp friendly settings?

Not using NOW(), but does the trick.

How to handle request not connected to a model ?

[Alex Devry]

Hi everyone, I'm new to CakePHP and find this set of tools very
useful.

I understand how to build an app when it's drived by a MVC approach
(model, views, controlers created with the Console, w/i or w/o
scaffholding or the default CRUD methods).

But I'm a bit confused when it deals with handling request not related
to a model, or related to several models.

For instance:
1/ Having a generic home page, leading to different pages and models
(users profile, content admin)
2/ Having a stats module which displays (on one or several pages)
statistics on data stored on several and unrelated model

My idea, based on a non-MVC driven experience, will have to build a
generic controler that will forward requests to different methods,
depending on the parameters passed to the URI, ie something like
"page.php?page=statistics&action=view&item=users" but applied to
CakePHP.

The problem is that I'm not sure it is correct, or in accordance with
the CakePHP /MVC philiosophy.

Have you already met this kind of problems ? How have you solved it ?
Is there any white book or best practices concerning this ?

Thanks for your help,

Alex Devry 8)

Sorting related object according to their related objects

[Alex]

Hi folks,

I have a model like the following:

Article hasMany Comment
Comment hasOne User

Now I want to fetch all comments from one article limited by ten.
These ten should be the comments with the most popular users
(User.popular). Is it possible to define the "Article hasMany Comment"
relationship with a limit and an order by his sub-object
"User.popular"?

Bye,
ALex

GoogleBot gets a 404 on site with out index.php

[Alex Jeffery]

Hi,

I have a strange issue where I have installed cakePHP and it looks
like it works fine.
If I browse to http://AlexJeffery.org/ I see what I would expect.
How ever googlesite maps says it gets a 404 on http://AlexJeffery.org/

I have tried several spiders to generate a sitemap and they all get a
404 on http://AlexJeffery.org/
If I point them to http://AlexJeffery.org/index.php they can find that
and spider correctly.

I tried adding the following line to the .htaccess in the app/webroot
DirectoryIndex index.php
But it still gets a 404

Any ideas on how to fix this?
I would like my sitemap to work :)

Thanks,
Alex

Re: How to make session expire after browser close?

CAKE_SECURITY = low causes the session cookie to be saved for
78894 seconds - even if your browser is being closed, the cookie
session is saved. also CAKE_SECURITY = low multiplies
CAKE_SESSION_TIMEOUT by 300. Just wait 3600 seconds and look what's
happening ;-) You have to put CAKE_SECURITY to 'high' which results in
not saving the session into a cookie, but then you have to set
CAKE_SESSION_TIMEOUT to a higer value (CAKE_SECURITY = high multiplies
CAKE_SESSION_TIMEOUT by 10 resulting an active session for 120 seconds)

Performance Time (debug variable)

[Alex]

Hi,

Is it possible to replan the concept of the debug-variable?
I need to hide the performance time which is printed (index.php) as a
html-comment at the end of each view. The ajax-inplaceeditor handles
this comment as a value.
what i need is to run in debug=1 mode and to hide the performance time
separately.

Greetings,
Alex

Re: HTML-considering Truncate()-Function

[Alex]

I submitted this function also as a possible enhancement of the
default truncate function in the TextHelper.

I also wrote a test case for this function

Spam-protected, accessible forms?

[Alex]

Hi,

Since my site was attacked by spammers, I was working on a solution,
that generates some random input boxes inside my formula.
when these (hidden by several methods) were filled by an automated
spam-robot, the following action will not take place.
the other inputs had to be randomly renamed. the posted data would be
mapped to get the original inputs-name (saved via session).
this solution prevents spam robots from searching the whole web page
for input fields containing "text", "homepage" or "name/username" and
filling it and does not use captchas (better accessibility).
but my solution required many heavy changes in the html and form
helper.
so has anybody got an idea, how to implement this into cake without
making the application unupdateable?
in general my helper have to change the html-code returned by the form
helper. the controller offers a function which maps the posted data
back.

Greetings,
Alex

Re: HTML-considering Truncate()-Function

[Alex]

Hi gwoo,

Cool to hear. Do you mean I should submit the whole function to
trac.cakephp.org to suggest it for 1.2 or should the users submit bugs
in this function there?
I don't know how the process for this works :-)

Thanks,
Alex
