Browse By Letter (a php question)
I am working on a project where I would like to have a menu to search by Letters. For instance: A | B | C | D |E and so on... However I only want to show the letters that correspond to a product on the database. So if I have product: Apple, and Banana I would show the letters: A | B As of right now, I do it in a really bad way.. I have a loop that goes from A->Z which SELECT COUNTS each letter and throws everything in one array. What's a better way to do that? Instead of have 26 queries? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Query (using "greater than")
I was following the code and examples from a Book, not the book.cake.
Sorry I wasn't clear on that.

Select Distinct only for Unique fields?
I am having a problem with SELECT DISTINCT
This is what I have in my model:
This works:
$this->find('all', array('fields'=>array('DISTINCT Album.id',
'Album.year'), 'recursive'=>-1));
This Doesn't Work:
$this->find('all', array('fields'=>array('DISTINCT Album.year'),
'recursive'=>-1));
Album_id is a unique (index) field. Is that why it works on the first
one and not on the second one?

Re: skipping the add() view?
Thanks. That's exactly what I had in mind, just couldn't figure out
how to catch the errors. It's a bit of work, just to display errors,
but it will work for now.

I figured I can just do a redirect() but I can't figure out how to pass the validation errors along. Anyone?

skipping the add() view?
Ok, Here's the situation: I have a page that allows users to post comments, but this is not a ADD page... when I create the add() function in the CommentController it automatically looks for a add.ctp because it assumes that's where my form was. All the data gets saved, but it doesn't know where to redirect to... How can I skip the add view? I don't want to create an Add view just to post a comment's form. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Having a couple of problems using recursive = 1
Ok this is what I have set up:
Artist -> hasMany Album
Album -> belongsTo Artist
Album -> belongsTo Label
Album-> hasMany Track
Label-> hasMany Album
Track-> belongsTo Album
so fa so good
I provide the name of the Artist and the name of the Album and want to
get results from each table:
$this->Album->find('all', array('conditions' => array('Album.slug'=>
$thisAlbum, 'Artist.slug'=>$thisArtist), 'fields'=>array('Album.name',
'Artist.name', 'Label.name'), 'recursive'=>1));
This the array I get:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Album] => Array
(
[name] => The Art Of Breaking
[id] => 1
)
[Artist] => Array
(
[name] => Thousand Foot Krutch
)
[Label] => Array
(
[name] => Tooth & Nail
)
[Track] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[album_id] => 1
[name] => Hand Granade
[lyrics] =>
[slug] => handgranade
[created] => 2009-10-16 22:09:19
[modified] => -00-00 00:00:00
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[album_id] => 1
[name] => Breathe
[lyrics] =>
[slug] => breathe
[created] => 2009-10-16 22:55:16
[modified] => -00-00 00:00:00
)
)
)
)
Which is what I want.. except that I cannot specify what fields I want
to select in the table Tracks, because it's a separate query.
Look at the queries:
First:
SELECT `Album`.`name`, `Artist`.`name`, `Label`.`name`, `Album`.`id`
FROM `albums` AS `Album` LEFT JOIN `artists` AS `Artist` ON
(`Album`.`artist_id` = `Artist`.`id`) LEFT JOIN `labels` AS `Label` ON
(`Album`.`label_id` = `Label`.`id`) WHERE `Album`.`slug` =
'theartofbreaking' AND `Artist`.`slug` = 'thousandfootkrutch'
Second:
SELECT `Track`.`id`, `Track`.`album_id`, `Track`.`name`,
`Track`.`lyrics`, `Track`.`slug`, `Track`.`created`,
`Track`.`modified` FROM `tracks` AS `Track` WHERE `Track`.`album_id` =
(1)
Is there a way to tell find() what fields in Track to select? Do I
have to do another find()?
The only thing I can think of is to do recursive = 0 and run another
find() for Track.

I am learning about routes now, I used to write my own routes on mod rewrites before i came to Cake, so I just need some small guidance since I already have some knowledge... Here's what I need to accomplish: www.myswebsite.com/artist/ARTISTNAME/album/ALBUMNAME On mod rewrite I just had to sub ARTISTNAME & ALBUNAME for two variables and get the values through GET... I just need to accomplish the same using the Router.

Re: What to use? Elements? Behaviors? Helpers?
Ok... thanks for the tutorial. It helped some. This is my main problem
right now... that in order to use model and controllers they need to
be attached to a database table. And I don't always want to have a
database table that corresponds to that model.
For instance:
I have 3 tables:
artists
albums
tracks
I my home page I want to pull...
Latest artists added
Latest albums added
And just a featured artist
My question is, where would I write the queries? On a element? on a
helper? Because if I create a model (and route it to be the index)
than that model would need a corresponding database table, which I
wouldn't have. Can someone give me an example?
Thanks!

Re: What to use? Elements? Behaviors? Helpers?
Thanks. That helps a little. From what I've been reading it's better to use Elements for HTML chunks and Helpers for logic. But requestAction seems like a good option too.

What to use? Elements? Behaviors? Helpers?
On the index of my website I get content from several different tables in the database. Which is best to use? Elements? Behaviors? or Helpers? As far as I understand the index(home.ctp) page doesn't have a model or controller. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Beginners book!
I am new to cake (not to php, but to cake) and thought this book to be great help. If you know your basic php it really should make cake much easier to understand.

Re: Cake Bake Error: I just cant BAKE, please help
I don't know if this applies.. but i had problems running Bake because I have to use a socket to connect to the database.

Query (using "greater than")
I am learning cake using a book, which has been great so far, but I am
having problems with one example of the book when it uses the "greater
than" and similar operators in a query...
here's what the books says:
return $this->find('all',array(
'conditions'=>array(
'DATE(Post.date)'=> '>'.$date,
'DATE(Post.date)'=>'<'.$end_date
)));
here's what cake will query:
SELECT `Post`.`id`, `Post`.`name`, `Post`.`date`, `Post`.`content`,
`Post`.`user_id`, `User`.`id`, `User`.`name`, `User`.`email`,
`User`.`firstname`, `User`.`lastname` FROM `posts` AS `Post` LEFT JOIN
`users` AS `User` ON (`Post`.`user_id` = `User`.`id`) WHERE DATE
(`Post`.`date`) = ' < 2009-12-31 23:59:59'
You can see at the end of the query that cake doesn't recognize the
"<" or the ">" operators... so it just adds the "=" and then the "<"
as a string. I am using the latest cake version.

showEmpty?
I am new to cake... i have been doing a lot of reading, but somethings
i still can't figure out.
This is what I have:
echo $form->select('State', array('NJ' => New Jersey', 'NY' => 'New
York'));
I want to remove the empty option of this select box. According to the
API I need to add $showEmpty = false to the code above.. but where do
I add it? I tried in several different locations and it won't work.
Thanks
