Re: Url problem
In dispatcher::dispatch(), this is where cake handles loading things.
This is also where cake detects if the url passed doesn't match up
with a controller.
On line 100:
elseif(!class_exists($ctrlClass)){
$missingController = true;
}
I would do some additional logic here, for example, you might consider
setting $ctrlClass = ProfilesController; and manually rewriting the
url.
I'm not Cake guru, but that seems to be the most logical approach.
An easier approach would be to use a route such as /profile/user = /
profiles/view/user

Re: Question about finding last record in the database
If you just added the record then
$this-Model-getLastInserID(); //will give you the id you're looking
for
Now, suppose you added the record a while ago, and you just want to
find the highest ID, then you can add the following to your app_model:
function getHighestID()
{
$res = $this-query(Select `{$this-name}.id` from `{$this-name}`
ORDER BY `{$this-name}.id` DESC LIMIT 1;
return $res[$this-name]['id'];
}
Then from any controller you can do:
$this-Model-getHighestID();

How do I find the last record in the database and have it's ID value
in the controller and be able to manipulate it mathematically.
Because all i want to do is put the ID of the last record of the
Clients table add 1 to it and append the result to a string that will
be used to create the Client account number.
Also if I want to create my own custom functions or classes to add to
my cake APP how do I do that.

Re: Creating form array variables using form-input
I have to agree, form helper sometimes just doesn't bring enough to
the table to make it worthwhile.
If you really insist on using the form helper you can modify the
template it uses for field names. so instead of doing data[%s][%s],
you can just do %s.
I would either (a) create your own helper and use a similar function
function input($name=null,$options=array())
{
if($name != null)
{
echo 'input type=text name=' . $name . ' ';
foreach($options as $option=$value)
{
echo {$option}=\{$value}\ ;
}
echo '';
}
}
$myHelper-input('name',array('style'='myStyle', 'size'='20');
Or, just modify cakes to suit your needs :0

Hello to all,
I am trying to create a form which will pass an array style data
structure through to the request via _GET.
This should be of the format
$search['variableName']=variableValue
and might sometimes have arrays within the array, thus:
$search['variableName'][] =variableValue1
How can I achieve this? In the application I am converting, I was able
to use:
input name=search[variableName]
in the HTML form, and the data would come through intact.
However, now that I use in the view:
?php echo $form-input('search[variableName]', array('label' = ''));?
This renders as:
input name=data[ControllerName][search[variableName]]
which seems to screw things up so that the resulting array is:
Array
(
[search[variableName] = variableValue
)
Obviously Cake is doing some escaping stuff that interferes here.
Is there a way I can get around this? I would rather do it the
'proper' way using form-input than have to write it manually.
Thanks,
Benjamin

Re: use different model in different controller.

Re: Un-escaping sanitized data for display
But, as far as I understand Cake already handles Sanitize::SQL for
you. So you shouldn't need to do that again. That might be why you
think you're getting stuff back in an unreadable format, you're likely
sanitizing twice.

Unless there's another way to go about this, shouldn't the Sanitize

readable, user-friendly, format? Otherwise, what's the point of having
it sanitized?
I'm no big expert, and there's probably a way for me to un-escape data
from the database before displaying it back to the user, but so far, I
have failed to find such a way. And to me, it only makes sense that
the class that is responsible for re-formatting the data going into
the DB will also be responsible to format it back to readable form
once it is pulled from the DB.

From what I can tell from the cake source it doesn't salt variables or

$this-Session-write('name','brian');
and

Re: hasOne association question

Yes. You can do something like
if(isset($question['Answer']['id']))
{
/* do something with answer */
}
You might consider reversing it and putting the foriegn key in the
questions table, and having each Answer haveOne question and each
Question belongTo an answer. If you do that you can do:
$questionsWithNoAns = $this-Question-
findAll(array('Question.answer_id' = 0));

Log controller
Hi,
I have a website that is basically a shopping cart. It has Products,
Manufactures, Users, etc.
I've added a 'Notes' controller with the following fields:
id
user_id
product_id
manufacturer_id
text
The idea is that I can set the respective foreign key so that I can
use the notes controller to add notes to any object. Is this the
correct way to do it?
My next question is, I want to automatically add a note when an
administrator does certain tasks, eg, modify a user account.
I was thinking about using the $controller-requestAction(), however,
if the note is fairly long it will be kind of weird to do this:
/* this is just psuedo code, I do not actually store session
information like this */
$ses = $this-Session-read('currentUser');
$note = User account was suspended by {$ses['User']['username']};
$this-requestAction('/admin/notes/add/' . $note);
It would seem weird to request an action with spaced text like that.
Is there another way to do it, i guess what I'm asking is...
requestAction is like GET, is there another way that's similiar to a
POST. Is it safe to do what I want to do this way?

Re: Log controller
How would you instantiate a note object? Can you please give me an example? Thanks. Brian On Jan 7, 8:28 pm, Robby Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would setup the notes one of two ways: id parent parent_id text created Where parent = the model name you want to link to and parent_id is the foreign key. This allows you to link to any model that you want to, instead of just the ones you listed, and is a bit better design. (I'd also add a user_id column to link to the adding user.) However, this always limits a note to a single entity. You can also create notes with two tables: id text created and a second note_parent table id note_id parent parent_id Again, where parent = the model name you want to link to and parent_id is the foreign key. (And again, I'd add a user_id to the notes table.) This allows you to link a single note to multiple models (much like tags). As for auto-creating a note on certain actions, why note just instantiate a note object, pass it the data you want to save and save it right then and there? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Log controller
I've completed this using Robby Anderson's suggestions. I found that
it would probably be easiest to create a Notes component to do the
tricker, here is all the code:
NOTES COMPONENT
?php
class NoteComponent extends Object
{
var $note_model = 'Note';
var $parent_field = 'parent';
var $parent_id_field = 'parent_id';
var $text_field = 'text';
function saveNote($parent,$parent_id,$text)
{
//create a new note object
if (ClassRegistry::isKeySet($this-note_model))
{
$UserModel = ClassRegistry::getObject($this-
note_model);
}
else
{
loadModel($this-note_model);
$UserModel = new $this-note_model;
}
$arr = array($this-note_model =
array(
$this-parent_field = $parent,
$this-parent_id_field = $parent_id,
$this-text_field = $text
)
);
$UserModel-save($arr);
}
}
?
- NOTES MODEL
?php
class Note extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Note';
var $belongsTo = array(
'Product' =
array('className' = 'Product',
'foreignKey' = 'parent_id',
'conditions' = Note.parent =
'Product',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'counterCache' = ''
),
'Manufacturer' =
array('className' = 'Manufacturer',
'foreignKey' = Note.parent =
'Manufacturer',
'conditions' = '',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'counterCache' = ''
),
);
}
?
- Product model (for example)
class Product extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Product';
var $hasMany = array(
'Note' =
array('className' = 'Note',
'foreignKey' = 'parent_id',
'conditions' = Note.parent =
'Product',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'limit' = '',
'offset' = '',
'dependent' = '',
'exclusive' = '',
'finderQuery' = '',
'counterQuery' = ''
),
);
}
?
Then this can be used very easily from any controller:
function admin_view($id = null) {
$this-Note-saveNote('Product',$id,'Product was viewed.');
}
Make sure to do $components = Array('Note');

Re: Log controller
I've completed this using Robby Anderson's suggestions. I found that
it would probably be easiest to create a Notes component to do the
tricker, here is all the code:
NOTES COMPONENT
?php
class NoteComponent extends Object
{
var $note_model = 'Note';
var $parent_field = 'parent';
var $parent_id_field = 'parent_id';
var $text_field = 'text';
function saveNote($parent,$parent_id,$text)
{
//create a new note object
if (ClassRegistry::isKeySet($this-note_model))
{
$UserModel = ClassRegistry::getObject($this-
note_model);
}
else
{
loadModel($this-note_model);
$UserModel = new $this-note_model;
}
$arr = array($this-note_model =
array(
$this-parent_field = $parent,
$this-parent_id_field = $parent_id,
$this-text_field = $text
)
);
$UserModel-save($arr);
}
}
?
- NOTES MODEL
?php
class Note extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Note';
var $belongsTo = array(
'Product' =
array('className' = 'Product',
'foreignKey' = 'parent_id',
'conditions' = Note.parent =
'Product',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'counterCache' = ''
),
'Manufacturer' =
array('className' = 'Manufacturer',
'foreignKey' = Note.parent =
'Manufacturer',
'conditions' = '',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'counterCache' = ''
),
);
}
?
- Product model (for example)
class Product extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Product';
var $hasMany = array(
'Note' =
array('className' = 'Note',
'foreignKey' = 'parent_id',
'conditions' = Note.parent =
'Product',
'fields' = '',
'order' = '',
'limit' = '',
'offset' = '',
'dependent' = '',
'exclusive' = '',
'finderQuery' = '',
'counterQuery' = ''
),
);
}
?
Then this can be used very easily from any controller:
function admin_view($id = null) {
$this-Note-saveNote('Product',$id,'Product was viewed.');
}
Make sure to do $components = Array('Note');
I hope this helps someone!
