Re: 3 table join help?
hm... i'm not sure what you are trying to do. the conventions are
http://manual.cakephp.org/appendix/conventions . so you should name the
model CarMakeYear and the file car_make_year.php. However, it sounds
like you need a Car model, a Make model, and a Year model. Then use
cake associations and the {$model}->findAll() function to query the
database.
The associations you choose really depend on what you are doing and can
be overwritten at runtime, but an example might be:
Car
hasOne Model, Make
Model
hasMany Car
belongsTo Make
Make
hasMany Car, Model

How do i use findAll to sort one model by a second?
Hey, i have two models Post and Wiki. A post is a simple table with an 'id' and a 'wiki_id'. The Post table hasMany Wiki. Each of which store all the information about that post revision, including the 'created' field. The UI of my project references the Post 'id' so a simple search might be to five the 5 most recent posts. A direct sql statement would look something like this: SELECT Wiki.* FROM posts Post, wikis Wiki WHERE Post.wiki_id = Wiki.id ORDER BY Wiki.created DESC i've read that you can use the findall to do just about any type of association, but i can't figure out how to properly reference other tables in my models or findall statements. Can someone please help me out? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Model->findAll() based on conditions for an associated HABTM model - any progress?
There was an post a while back about this and a trac ticket https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/1209 I have a HABTM association between posts and tags. When a user clicks on a tag, only posts associated with that tag should be returned. Furthermore, a user can click on a series of tags to further refine their search. I have custom queries to handle this now, but i am curious where the cake team's progress is on adding this feature? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

using functions in elements
I have a recursive function that i'd like to use to optimize printing data from a multidimensional array. If i put the function in my view or element, then cake tells me that the function doesn't exist.

Re: Problem with Methods in AppController!!!
Your controller has an object for each model that you tell it to use
with
$uses = array('Config', etc);
then you need to reference this model to query the database
$this->Config->query('statement');
although as John states, your query is simple. I would use the built in
field function
$this->Config->field('value', 'name='.$name);

Help with Data Model for findAll querying
Hey, i've been trying to set my data model/database up to use the cake built in querying system, with partial success. I've temporarily written my own queries, except then i need to reformat the returned array to make it useful. I have several tables posts posts_users users wikis tags tags_wikis photos The logic i have setup is: posts HABTM users hasMany wikis wikis belongsTo users belongsTo posts HABTM tags hasMany photos users hasMany posts hasMany wikis tags HABTM wikis photos belongsTo wikis My goal is to do a search on post and it returns (in chunks of 5 for pagination) all the wikis and users, plus for each wiki it returns the tags and photos. The databases seem to communicate okay, but some of the parameters in my associations are completely ignored. For example i use the following statement in the controller: $this->Post->findAll(null, null, null, "5"); var $hasAndBelongsToMany = array( 'User' => array( 'className' => 'User', 'joinTable' => 'posts_users', 'foreignKey' => 'post_id', 'conditions' => '', 'order' => '', 'limit' => '', 'dependent' => true, 'exclusive' => false, 'finderSql' => '', 'deleteQuery' => '' ) ); // only return the most recent wiki var $hasMany = array( 'Wiki' => array( 'className' => 'Wiki', 'conditions' => '', 'order' => 'Wiki.created DESC', 'limit' => '1', 'foreignKey' => 'post_id', 'dependent' => true, 'exclusive' => false, 'finderSql' => '' ) ); Now when i do a find or findall cake returns array( Post = array of post row Wiki = array( 0 = array of 1st wiki row 1 = array of 2nd wiki row 2 = array of 3rd wiki row ... etc) User = array( 0 = array of 1st wiki row 1 = array of 2nd wiki row 2 = array of 3rd wiki row ... etc) ) But in my association, i asked it to only return one wiki. My first question then, is how do i get my association to only return 1 wiki, while returning 5 posts? thanks -matt --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

how do i using routing to pass an array to my action function?
hey, i'm working on a travel site and would like to use routing to change the url string into an array for easier processing in my action function. urls are formatted like this /posts/search/country_id/region_id/location_id/tag_id1/tag_id2/tag_id3/etc and might look like this /posts/search/12/34/23/1/2/3/etc my search action function is function search($country, $region, $location, $tags) i want $tags to be an array of all the tag_ids, otherwise, i have to store the tag_ids in a parsable string format that can be passed as the 4th variable i'd like to use routing to convert all the tags after location_id into an array. /posts/search/country_id/region_id/location_id/* can i do this? please, let me know how. thanks --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

i've added this function to my appController. as far as i know this
should be called automatically by every controller on my site, however,
none of them do. what am i doing wrong? -thanks
function beforeFilter() {
echo "WTF";
$this->set('userID', 0);
$this->set('username', '');
$this->set('auth', false);
$this->set('query', '');

What is the best ajax user login solution?
Hi, i've been looking through the different resources off the cake website and around the web over the past week, and i haven't been able to find an elegant ajax user register. I just have 4 fields: email, username, password, confirm. Confirm is not in my data model which has given me some grief. Some of the features i'm looking for are: 1) data validation in javascript and/or model all can't be empty valid email valid username between 4 & 20 alphanumeric valid password between 4 & 12 characters confirm == password 2) real-time data validation the labels updates to inform the user if the field is valid as they fill it out all fields are checked to be valid before submitting the form 3) flexible enough to be used with multiple forms on a single page most of the examples i have found require duplicating code to handle multiple forms 4) compact (many examples have ajaxValadateField1, ajaxValidateField2, etc functions; it would be much better to have a single function that can handle multiple fields from multiple forms) what ajax process do you use? if you can provide a link or explain your setup, i (and i'm sure others) would appreciate it. thanks --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

using find + recursive causes repeated data
When i use the find function to get rows from my database, i've noticed
data being recursively repeated when i set the recursion value to 2 or
higher. Here is what i mean. I have 2 tables Post and Wiki. A post
hasMany Wikis and a Wiki belongsTo a post and a user. A wiki contains
the foreign key post_id and is also connected to an image and tag
table, so i need to expand to the second level.
in Post i have:
var $hasMany = array(
'Wiki' => array(
'className' => 'Wiki',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => 'Wiki.created DESC',
'limit' => '1',
'foreignKey' => 'post_id',
'dependent' => true,
'exclusive' => false,
'finderSql' => ''
)
);
in WIki i have:
var $belongsTo = array(
'Post' => array(
'className' => 'Post',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '',
'foreignKey' => 'post_id'
),
'User' => array(
'className' => 'User',
'conditions' => '',
'order' => '',
'foreignKey' => 'user_id'
)
);
in my controller i use:
$post = $this->Post->find('id = ' . $id, null, '', 2);
The array that is return contains:
post array
wiki array
[0]
post array again
And if i wet my recursion to 3
post array
wiki array
[0]
post array again
wiki array again
It seems to me that this isn't the behavoir that should be happening. i
really like the easy of the find function, but i can't use it if it's
do all this extra work. does anyone know why/how to fix this.
thanks

How do i validate using the model with ajax
http://wiki.cakephp.org/faq:how_do_i_validate_a_form_with_ajax?s=ajax
I built a login validator using the above wiki entry. It works great,
but we setup the data validation rules in the controller instead of in
the model.
I've created a hybrid function that can accept different fields as
input instead of creating a slew of function (ajaxValidateUsername,
ajaxValidateEmail, etc):
function ajaxValidateInput($type) {
$this->Session->write($type . '_valid', false);
$regex = array(
'username' => '/^[a-z0-9][\w]{2,18}[a-z0-9]$/i', //
starts/ends with
alphanum; anything in between; 4-20 characters long; no case
'email' => '/^\w(\.?\w)[EMAIL
PROTECTED](\.?[-\w])*\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i', // starts
with character; before & after '@' has 0 or infinite '.' and characters
on both sides; ends with '.' followed by 2-4 letters; no case
'password' => '/.{4,12}/', // case sensitive; 4-12
characters
'confirm' => '/.{4,12}/', // case sensitive; 4-12
characters
);
$message = array(
'username' => '4-20 alpha-numeric characters',
'email' => 'not an email address',
'password' => '4-12 characters',
'confirm' => '4-12 characters',
);
if (empty($this->data['User'][$type])) { // No value set
$this->set('labelText', ucfirst($type) . ' - required');
} else if(! preg_match($regex[$type],
$this->data['User'][$type])) {
$this->set('labelText', ucfirst($type) . ' - is invalid
(' .
$message[$type] . ')');
// TODO: FIX isUnique function, isn't properly detecting
} else if($type != 'password' && $type != 'confirm' && !
$this->User->unique(ucfirst($type), $this->data['User'][$type])) {
$this->set('labelText', ucfirst($type) . ' - is taken,
try
another');
} else if($type == 'confirm' &&
$this->Session->read('password_valid') != $this->data['User'][$type]) {
$this->set('labelText', ucfirst($type) . ' - passwords
do not
match');
} else {
$this->set('labelText', ucfirst($type) . ' - ok');
$this->Session->write($type . '_valid',
$this->data['User'][$type]);
}
/*
if ($this->User->load_validation()) {
$this->set('labelText', ucfirst($type) . ' - passwords
do not
match');
} else {
}*/
$this->set('type', $type);
$this->render('label', 'ajax');
}
I think it would be much cleaner if i could use rules i setup in model
instead. Is there a way to use the $validate variable to test only one
of the rules in validate (such as just username) and capture the
message so that i can use $this->set('labelText', 'message') to pass
the message to my label.
The validate variable array i've setup is
$this->validate = array(
'username' => array(
'required' => array(
'method' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'message' => 'Username - invalid
(required)',
),
'format' => array(
'method' =>
'/^[a-z0-9][\w]{2,18}[a-z0-9]$/i',
'message' => 'Username - invalid
(choose 4-20 alpha-numeric
characters)',
),
'unique' => array(
'method' => 'unique',
'message' => 'Username - invalid
(already in use)',
'parameters' => array('username',
$_POST['data'][$this->name]['username']),
),
),
'email' => array(
'required' => array(
'method' => VALID_NOT_EMPTY,
'message' => 'Email - invalid
(required)',
),
'format' => array(
'method' => VALID_EMAIL,
'message' => 'Email - invalid (not an
email)',
),
'unique' => array(
'method' => 'unique',
'message' => 'Email - invalid (already
in use)',
'parameters' => array('email',
$_POST['data'][$this->name]['email']),
Re: How do i use $javascript->event ????
Oh... thanks nate, that makes a lot of sense.
couple follow up questions:
1) is it considered best practice with the framework to handle events
this way? if not, what is?
2) can i use a callback function as the variable in the observer such
as
event('myid', 'click', 'myFunction'); ?>
thanks

How do i use $javascript->event ????
Hey, i'm relatively new to cake. Prior to this framework I have been
using the YUI toolkit for my javascript needs.
>From my experience with setting listeners in javascript and YUI I would
expect this function to work like:
javascript->event('elementID', 'callbackfunction');
However, this doesn't seem to do anything. I can't find any useful
information on the cakephp site or the wiki or this group, explaining
what this function does or what the inputs really are.
event
* string $object ???
* string $event ???
* string $observer ???
* boolean $useCapture ???
In my code i have
[my link]
If anyone could please explain what these values are and how i should
use them or point me to where some useful information is, i would
really appreciate it.
thanks
