Re: complex query with virtual fields
I don't save a column in the invoices table because when an invoice gets
saved there are sometimes discounts that get saved with them, if you try to
calculate the balance based on payments and discounts in the afterSave
method, you can't determine the balance due because the related data hasn't
been saved yet.

I was going to suggest replacing the balance_due in the 2nd query with
the 1st complex query, but it looks like that would become pretty
messy.
So, why not just add a balance column to the invoices table and update
it from the model?

Re: complex query with virtual fields
Thanks Geoff for the idea. I got it working by adding an extra SUM() and
retrieving invoices instead of customers. Now my virtual field in the
Invoice model looks like:
'SUM(IF(Invoice.due_date \''.date('Y-m-d', strtotime('31 days ago')).'\',
(SELECT IF(SUM(amount) IS NOT NULL, Invoice.total_due - SUM(amount),
Invoice.total_due) FROM transactions WHERE transactions.invoice_id =
Invoice.id), 0))'
It's definitely not very clean but it works.

fly2279,
In order to get the aging for the customers, you need to use the data from
the invoices model. You need to select the invoices, Cake will join in the
customer data because of the belongsTo relationship, then you group on
customer, summing up the various fields that you want.
If I where you I would do a join of a sub-select of the total payments,
into an invoices select grouped by customer.
- Select Invoices
- join Customer (automatically done by cake)
- join sub on TotalPayments.invoice_id = Invoice.id
- select transactions as TotalPayments
- group by invoice
- group by customer
Does this make sense?
Happy Coding.

FYI: manually logging in a user and acl in cakephp 2.0
If anyone else has problems with getting an Aro node lookup error after manually logging in a user you might check the array that you use to login with. As in the example in the cookbook, the user gets logged in with the array of submitted data from the login form in the format: $this-request-data['User'] = array( 'username' = 'johndoe', 'password' = 'secretpassword' ); If you login the user and then debug this-Auth-user() or use the static method AuthComponent::user(), you'll see that it returns an array without the 'User' key. Even though you submitted the data with the 'User' key, it is being used and returned to you without it. You can manually set user information to an array (maybe by running a find on a specific user) and then use that data, with the 'User' key to log a user in. Then Acl will give you an error about node lookup because it's using an array formatted like so: 'User' = array( 'User' = array( 'username' = 'johndoe', 'password' = 'secretpassword' ) ) To avoid errors you can manually log in a user by adding the user key to the array variable that you use. i.e. $this-Auth- login($user['User']): $user['User'] = array( 'username' = 'johndoe', 'password' = 'secretpassword' ); To log in a user from posted form data use: $this-Auth-login($user); To log in a user from other methods such as a find use: $this-Auth- login($user['User']); -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Figuring out CakeEmail in Cakephp 2.0
I debugged the MailTransport.php in the core and then debugged php's
mail function. Turns out it was giving an error for smtp server. I
changed my php.ini to reflect my isp and all works well now. I'll
leave the original post in case anyone else has this problem and can't
figure out why because cake only returns a 500 error.

If I put the path to the php bin in front of the command like for a regular cron job it runs but then it just logs the contents of the cakeshell file that I created following the cookbook's instructions. I can also put the php bin in front of the same command that starts the cake console (in the .bashrc file) and the log shows the console welcome message like it executed correctly. Any ideas?

Differences with extract and classicExtract
I've noticed a difference in the extract and classicExtract methods of
the Set class. When extracting data from an array that only has one
numeric key set the results aren't the same when using extract and
classicExtract if the numeric key isn't 0. For example:
$data = array(
15 =
'Post' = array(
'id' = 15,
)
)
$results = Set::extract('/Post/id', $data);
Using extract with xpath syntax $results is an empty array. When using
classicExtract it works either way. However if you have sequential
numeric indexes starting at zero then Set::extract does return
results. There are many times when I use Set::combine to change the
keys of a find operation to the id of whatever is being found.
The below works with both because the numeric key is 0.
$data = array(
0 =
'Post' = array(
'id' = 15,
)
)
$results = Set::extract('/Post/id', $data);

model conditions
I am trying to set conditions on relationships in a model to better

var $belongsTo = array(

'conditions' = array('User.booleanfield' = 1)
)
);
Obviously I could place that condition in the find call but isn't this
what is supposed to happen when you put conditions in the model? I've
also tried putting the condition in the User model under the hasMany
variable but that doesn't work either. What am I doing wrong?

I really like the way cake deletes all the existing join table rows and creates new ones when you use this like a HABTM and 'unique' is set to true. Should I use a behavior (is there one out there?) or manually delete the existing rows in a beforeSave? What happens if the existing join table rows get deleted but for whatever reason the new ones don't get saved then? If you end up using a transaction to save then you have to clutter up a controller to begin and commit the transaction. I don't think that's the best but I'd like any ideas or best practices anybody can give.

Defining constants like APP for use in javascript
Has anyone done something like declaring cake's constants in a javascript file for use in all javascript files created for the app? I keep wondering what approach I should take for things like a path that might change depending on where the app is installed. Should I just set a variable to APP and serve the javascript file blended with php so that I can access it in other included javascript files? How does everyone else do it?

Re: Defining constants like APP for use in javascript
Andy, thanks for the quick response. I guess what I'm trying to do is
include an absolute path that is relative to the app's path. For
example:
$.getJSON(/path/myson.json, function(json) {
// code here
});
What if the app is installed in a subdirectory? Then I'd have to put /
subdir/path/myson.json. How do I keep the code flexible without
having to change it for each install?
From the comments of your jquery.mi.js file it looks like it does what
I'm talking about. I'm not very experienced and I'm a little fuzzy on
how to implement that code.

I'm not really clear on what you mean - but I include this js file (js
files which cake serves - i.e. not directly in the webroot - can
include php logic)http://github.com/AD7six/mi_js/blob/master/jquery.mi.js
which allows your js code to know if it's running in a subfolder
if that doesn't help a description of what you're trying to do would
likely get you help.

If you included the js file I linked to (and were using jquery) it'd
be:
$.getJSON($.url(/path/myson.json), function(json) {
// code here
});
If you used euromarks example it'd be:
// baseurl is a global var set in your layout in a script tag
$.getJSON(baseurl + /path/myson.json, function(json) {
// code here
});
They both achieve the same thing. Do whatever works and you're most
comfortable with.

how to save data from a model and all related models to a new table on 'completion'?
I am building a 'work_order' table that I need to convert to an invoice once it's been flagged as 'completed'. I need to save all the related models' information also when converting so that I can go back and look at an invoice and see all the related data too, even if the original related data to the 'work_order' table has been changed or deleted. I'll use the standard blog schema to make it easy. I have a Post model that hasMany Comments, HABTM Tags, and belongsTo User. In the Post table there is a boolean column for 'published'. When the Post is flagged as 'published' I'd like to copy over the data from the Post into a new table for archiving purposes but I also need to copy the Users, Comments and Tags data that are related to that Post to their respective 'archived' tables so that if a User gets changed (i.e. address or phone changes) or deleted from the User table the row of user information is still in the archived table as it was originally. Is there an easy or good way to convert the data to a new table for archives? Going back to the real project tables of using a work_order and invoice: Once a work_order has been flagged as 'completed' on the afterSave maybe create an array with all the related data 'belonging' to Invoice and save it all? If you did it that way how would you save the Invoice from the WorkOrder model since they're not really related? Does anyone have a good practice or suggestions on how it should be done?

Re: inventory management
I agree that metric would be much easier to convert but therein lies the problem. Every time you convert from the user input of imperial to metric you lose some accuracy in the total inventory. I guess I just need to use the smallest unit to store it in the table and then convert when inventory is added/subtracted. Are there any good tutorials/examples on methods to add/subtract inventory? Should I be using a 'transactions' table and total those transactions to come up with a quantity on hand or will that get out of control with thousands of rows?

How to set a due date on events?
I need help figuring out how to set up my tables or logic or both for figuring out how to set a 'due date' on events. I have: 'Company' hasMany 'Category', 'User' 'Category' hasMany 'Event' 'Category' belongsTo 'Interval' (rows in the interval table are: days, months, years, etc.) 'User' hasMany 'Event' The first question is how do I ensure that a user has only one event in each category (no duplicates)? I suspect a 'unique' = true, somewhere in a model but where? The second question is where/how do I process the logic to set a 'due' column in the 'event' table using the associated data? For example: A user submits the add event form that has the user_id, category_id, and completed (which is the date it was last completed). Let's say the associated category that was selected is 'annual training' and is set to 12 months for how often it needs to be completed. I need to add a year to the 'completed' date that was submitted and store it in the events table. How do I process the associated category data to set the 'due' column for the event? I think it should be done in beforeSave in the Event model but I don't know how to get the category information in $this-data to calculate when it should be due.

Whenever an user search for a term, the search engine should look for

Although I'm pretty new to Cake, I managed to do the Article.name part

Where $q is my properly escaped search string.
But for the Tags part, I'm pretty lost. Any advice on how could I add

Re: Form intermediate confirmation step in Modalbox

There is no 'label' parameter with a submit button, this needs to be

Your 'onclick' parameter also needs a lot of extra information, the
main part being 'return: false;' to stop the form from submitting in
it's usual manner. Because you are submitting a form through ModalBox
you also need to serialize the form data and tell it to use POST
method instead of the default GET. All form data will appear in the
controller as $this-data as normal.
If you have not already done so I advise you add the RequestHandler
component to /app/app_controller.php as that will automatically switch
ajax calls to use the ajax layout. If you want to run any flash
messages etc. within your ajax view you will need to copy /cake/lib/
views/layouts/ajax.ctp to /app/views/layouts and add your flash
message echo in there along with any other layout/content changes.
Updated code:
?php echo $form-end ( array( 'value' = 'Granska beställningen',
'onClick' = Modalbox.show('/orders/add', {params: Form.serialize
('NameOfForm'), method: 'post'}); return false; ) ); ?

allowing an override of validation with a reason
Here is my setup on something similar to a weekly planner or punch clock with on-duty time blocks.: DutyPeriods has many Deviations Deviations belongs to DutyPeriods I have a validation setup that checks to see if data being added to DutyPeriods doesn't overlap with existing ones. I need to be able to run the validation and if it fails offer the user the option to create a Deviation (a reason for the exception to the rule) that belongs to that DutyPeriod and save the DutyPeriod. I know you can add 'validate'= false to the save() function but what I don't know is how to go about this. Can someone help me out with a logical flow of how to do this?

Where to validate multiple fields?
I am creating an app that's similar to a punch clock in the way that it functions. The user enters a start and stop datetime and I need to do some validations. I need to check that there is not a previously entered time block in the database that conflicts with the data being entered. No two time blocks may overlap and I have additional rules also regarding how much time there needs to be in between two blocks. I considered running a custom validation function on the 'start' field but I need to make sure that there is no time block overlapping the time period from 'start' to 'end'. I'm not sure how to go about this. Since it needs to check two fields (start and end) against the database should I run a function in beforeValidate() instead of in validate? Then should I validate the normal stuff such as date/time/ alphanumeric etc. in the validate portion of the model? What's the best practice way of doing it?

Re: Validate date from model
I'm also new to cake and I just accomplished this myself a few days
ago. I only do the start before end validation and not end after
start. I don't know if that's a good way to do it or not. In the
startBeforeEnd validation you specify which field you want to compare
the 'start' field to, in my case it's 'end'. I included a can't be in
the future validation in case you might have use for that too.
Here is a portion of my model's code:
var $validate = array(
'start' = array(
'startBeforeEnd' = array(
'rule' = array('startBeforeEnd', 'end' ),
'message' = 'The start time must be before the
end time.'),
'futureDate' = array(
'rule' = array('futureDate', 'start'),
'message' = 'The start time can not be in the
future.'),
),
);
function startBeforeEnd( $field=array(), $compare_field=null ) {
foreach( $field as $key = $value ){
$v1 = $value;
$v2 = $this-data[$this-name][ $compare_field ];
if($v1 $v2) {
return FALSE;
} else {
continue;
}
}
return TRUE;
}
function futureDate($data, $field){
if (strtotime($data[$field]) time()){
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}
