Depcrecation
Was wondering if there is any documentation on the main site, that tells you when those particular functions listed as deprecated in the API, will actually be removed from the framework. I'm using some depcrecated functions now, because when I tried to upgrade to a higher version of 1.2 to use the form->checkbox, I ended up with just all blank pages on the entire site, and so I reverted to my back up of the "cake" directory (which I'm glad I backed up.) For the time being, I'm going to just hold off on upgrading for a while but was curious about the older functions.

Re: Need to be corrected on my idea of hasOne
I'm not sure you are interpreting it correctly, the way the
associations should work.
Anyway, here is how I ended up coding it, as the result of Grant's
reply, and it does works.
In my model, post.php:
var $belongsTo =array('User' =>
array('className' => 'User',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '')
);
In my model, user.php
var $hasMany = array('Post' =>
array('className' => 'Post',
'conditions'=> '',
'order' => 'Post.Id DESC',
'limit' => '',
'foreignKey'=> 'user_id',
'dependent' => false,
'exclusive' => false,
'finderQuery' => ''
)
);
-
The way my tables work :
In my Post table,
I have a "user_id" field. -- Each post can only have at the most
one single user associated with it. --
But I can't use hasOne, because I'm not linking the user table with
the Post's primary key.
I'm simply taking some field in my posts table, user_id, and
linking another table to it.
My User table:
-- Each user can possibly have many posts. --
In this case, there is a direct link between
"users" table and "posts" table,
and this is the user_id field.
So above I can specify a foreign_key, and this is user_id.
Hope this clears some things up and didn't confuse you.

2 newbie requireAuth questions
I'm reading in the manual that when using requireAuth, upon cakephp's entrance into your controller action, the Secur component checks that the auth key submitted through the POST, and the key that was placed in a Session array element, are the same key. So of course I don't have to manually compare these two myself, with a "==". ? My other question is about this statement in the Manual: "Next, it sets the key in your controller, to be referenced later." Is this in $this->params ? I guess I should I test myself by doing a print_r. But figured I'd slip this in there. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Posting a form with a regular link
HI All, I have this list of discussion posts that is accessed simply by going to index.php under /posts/. And currently, under each post I have a delete link ( of course it only shows up if you're the user logged in, who also created those posts, but that's an aside.). It's just a regular text url link like: /index.php/posts/delete/ But now I decided I'm going to use the cakephp Security component, and will now need to POST this form to the delete() action. But the problem is that with a regular text link, you have to use javascript. The url will now need to be javascript:submitdelete(); which sets a hidden form variable to the particular postid, and then calls form.submit(). I'm wondering how many users have javascript disabled. And wondering if anyone else went from having to go from get to post and how you handled it .

Discovered My Very Unsecure Urls
I realized humorously, that my delete links for the posts on my mini-
discussion board were clearly showing in the status bar:
"www.mysite.com/index.php/posts/delete/45".
So of course even though the delete link only shows up only for posts
where post.userid = session[userid], if you are a user who has half a
brain, you would eventually see the URL on the status bar and you
could just type it in manually to delete any post you want that other
people posted.
So along with setting the status="" attribute for each "href", I
realized I need to add to my controller's code for the delete()
function:
If ( $session->read('userid') = $data->post[userid] )
Would you do even more than that, to prevent unwanted post deletions?

Need to be corrected on my idea of hasOne
Hi, hope someone can clear this simple thing up. I have a Post model (posts table) - Pri Key: int ID varchar[100] comment int User_id ( the user who posted it of course ) and a User model (users table) - Pri Keyint ID varchar username .. other fields, too... On my Posts view thtml page, I need for my findAll (run from posts controller of course) to get all of my Posts plus the User table record that belongs to that post. But if I have a $hasOne in the Post model, the query attempts to join the Post.ID field with User.user_id which doesn't work of course. But User table doesn't have any fields relating to posts at all. I simply have a user_id in the posts table so that I know who posted what. Do I need to just use the Execute api call from the Model class to manually run this query? It looks like cakePHP is needing for the Post.ID field specifically to link up to a foreign id in User.

selectTag confusion
I tried searching the board and reading the 1.2 API, but couldn't get
this working completely.
The option drop down does appear, and the values do appear. Very
simple one:
echo $html->selectTag('Post/genre_id', array("0" => "Biography","1" =>
"Drama","2" => "Comedy","3" => "Action","4" => "Sci Fi","5"=>
"Horror"));
And I have this Option control in an "edit post" page, where users
edit their comment on a particular book.
( The various other fields are Post/title, Post/body, etc..)
The Select option control, specifically, is named "Post/genre_id" as
you can see in the selectTag statement above.
So all I really need is a way to auto-select the value
according to the particular Post table record that is being edited.
I don't think I need generateList(), because I'm just listing a static
list of id/labels. The "Post" table only stores the integer in
genre_id. That's why I'm hard-coding the genre names right into the
View file.

About the Blog tutorial
In the official Cakephp blog tutorial, as we know it obvoiusly takes
you through creating a blog, i.e. a way of adding new posts or
editing posts.
There is an add.thtml and an edit.thml page.
The add.thtml form action link is: $html->url('/posts/add')
The edit.thtml form action link is: $html->url('/posts/edit')
Besides these two difference, they are both virtually the same file.
Would it be a good idea to put the Form data into a single element
file, and then in edit.thtml and add.thtml, you use
renderElement( , array("action" => '/posts/add') , or of course
array("action_url" => '/posts/edit') for the edit view ?
Then in the element thtml file , it would be $html->url($action_url)
I realize that the blog tutorial was meant to provide the beginner
with the basics and didn't want to introduce elements yet, but figured
I'd ask this.

Re: Seems like waste of effort to have both ...
Yep, that was a mistype. I meant to say, if I had two different
actions with the Post controller (one action for editing a post, and
one for creating a new post), then cake would expect to have two views
with these two actions. And I'm trying to avoid having to maintain
two different, almost duplicate views (they both show the same exact
form).
But I'll just use render().Thanks.

... editpost and newpost pages. I'm creating a mini-discussion forum, and not sure whether or not to have the "new post" and "edit post" pages just simply combined. But I don't want the URL bar to say "edit" if someone is creating a new post.

Thanks, but getting same thing.
I tried both:
$this->set('error', 0); and
$this->set('error', 1); in case their was reverse logic from what
was intended.
And the IF condition is always seeing that there is an error and
displaying the message.

Frustratingly confusion with this very simple thing
I'm working on my User model ( I'm not using any Auth libraries or
anything, just doing it like the CAke blog tutorial did it ).
And I just
1. Created my register.thtml file for the user.
2. Then created the register() function in UsersController.
At this point, this function is:
function register()
{
$this->set('error', false);
}
And my register.thtml file is simply:
Please correct the following errors
( And a basic form to input username, password, etc.. )
According to the code above, the message: Please correct the
following errors should *never* appear, correct?
Wel, It's always appearing and that's blowing my mind.
I'm using CAke 1.2.
Note: -
As far as the login function goes, for this controller, I copied
the bulk of the login() function from the Cake blog tutorial, and when
I successfuly log in, I get successfully redirected to another page..
and I don't get any errors essages even though I have the same if/
endif code in that view file.
T.I.A.

Re: Your client and cakePHP
Thanks Rajesh and all. I haven't yet done anything with CakePHP, yet, for clients, so I figured I'd wonder out loud. It makes sense to me to simply explain the facts of the matter to a nontechnical customer .. and after all, there really is no choice regardless, when you've been paid to deliver a quality application. A quality application should always be based on separation of the entities such as presentation/logic, etc.. whether it's CakePhp or anything else. Explaining the benefits clearly, behind using it, should immediately cancel out the doubts and make them feel even better about their choice to hire you. So a large part, I'd bet, is even preparing ahead of time, your own summary explanation of why a framework/CMS should be used. So you can deliver that explanation to them confidently On Apr 18, 10:26 am, "R.

Your client and cakePHP
For those who have done PHP development for a client, and used cakePHP to build their sites, a question: Have you received complaints from the client, when they have tried to add a page on their own, ? like: "This cakephp stuff is complicated, and I just want to add another page that accesses the database, and I didn't know you have to create three different files for it.I can't get a php coder to help me, because they don't know cakephp or MVC" Just curious and thought I'd ask Steve --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Organizing, Keeping straight, your Javascript collection
Thanks for sharing how you do that, Kjell. That was definitely helpful. I know I will eventually decide on one of the major frameworks to adopt permanently. But sometimes, you're sitting lazily at the PC on a Sunday afternoon, reading blogs or whatever, and you come across a Javascript function that you want to add to some permanent library somewhere, and this function isn't in whatever Framework I adopted, so I add it to a central generic utility JS file that grows and grows (and of course shrinks sometimes when I realize I've added junk to it as well.). What prompted my post originally is when I ran into this page: http://www.dustindiaz.com/top-ten-javascript/. Even though it's over a year old, there's a couple of handy things in there, so keeping organized allows one to, on the fly, add something useful that one runs into on a website.

Organizing, Keeping straight, your Javascript collection
I know that many Cakephpers use frameworks/libraries like Prototype and JQuery. What about if you come across some general purpose Javascript functoin and you add those to a "common.js" file that you keep accumulating to ? And I'm talking about a common.js type file that you might use even *outside* of your CakePHP websites. If you keep this general purpose common.js file inside you app/js directory, but you also use *elsewhere*, then pretty soon they become un-Synchronized, like if you forget to make a copy of one to the other location after making changes to only one of them. I think it's a common challenge some of us face -- or not. Wondering what you guys do.

Re: content_for_layout
Thanks both of you, appreciate your help! I saw mention of Elements,
but I thought it was related html elements. Understood now.

content_for_layout
HI, I'm using cake v1.2 My question relates to content_for_layout (I think), and for the past hour I've been reading the results of a group search for this search term, but couldn't find an answer. My views are more or less PHP code that iterates through the results of an amazon product lookup. And really, the code is the same, except for the very small that changes from view to view... and that is the amazon searchindex such as 'books', 'dvd', etc.. So I took out the generic php look-up and "looping" code and put that it in a file called generic.php. (I don't know where to put that). And now, each of my views is stripped down to just: == books/index.thtml== $searchindex = 'Books' $display_string = "best selling books"; ==dvds/index.thtml== $searchindex = 'dvds' $display_string = "best selling DVD's"; However, I have no clue on how to get that generic.php "included". I tried the obvious thing, i.e., in each view, just put "include 'generic.php', below the top two php assignments but of course I didn't expect that to work, because of the way that cakephp is built -- it makes you use its own keywords. Is there an easy way of doing this. Should I be editing the layout/ default.thml file?

Re: Ready to upload cakePHp files to my Hostgator account.
Thanks for your guys' help. Very helpful. I'm trying to make this as simple as possible, so for now, I think I'll go with Tarique's advice. As far as the mod_rewrite, Hostgator support told me that "I can create a mod_rewrite in .htaccess". Didn't know I could. Very new to Apache configuration. In a way, cakePHP presents an opportunity for me to have to learn more about Apache, so I ordered a book on mod_rewrite in the meantime. Then when I have learned CakePHP well and completed the actual Web App, I wil then take another look at how much more secure I could make it by redoing the folder structure and playing with the cakePHP constants per DJ Spark's advice.

Ready to upload cakePHp files to my Hostgator account.
HI, I have a question about folder organization of a CakePHp installation. I'm about to upload my cakephp files to my Hostgator "baby croc" Shared server space. In the CAkePHP manual, the suggested folder structure is: ../path_to_cake_install /app /controllers /models /webroot <-- Should be DocumentRoot .htaccess index.php Should I send a Support Email to Hostgator that I need to have the httpd.conf changed for rmy account, so that my webroot is "Mydomain.com/app/webroot" ? I really have no particular way that I prefer the folder organization to be. I just want it to work, basically, and preferably with the mod_rewrite enabled, so that I don't have to stick that "index.php" in the middle of everything.But if I do have to use the "index.php" inside the URL, no big deal even. ( if anyone has a method by which I need to rely on H.G. support as little as possible, please let me know. ) Thanks, Steve --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
