Re: counting specific files in foldeR?

[gremlin]

Here is a link cleaning up the general idea and using some class methods to 
get, set the values and a member variable to store the results keyed by 
extension, valued by type. I whipped this up blind so it isn't tested *at 
all* but it should be pretty understandable.

Re: Fat CakePHP

[gremlin]

Even using the worst hosting in the world you still should only ever have 
to upload the core one time. If you have to wait 5 minutes for your isp to 
move the files to the remote server each time then you are uploading your 
app and a fresh copy of the core every time you update the site? That is an 
issue of bad workflow and sloppy development more than any bandwidth issue.

Second, if you care about being professional with your development you 
could perhaps invest in digital cable? Learn to keep your core as a 
submodule and use git on your hosting provider so that you can issue a pull 
request and update the core at the speed of their network instead of your 
own. It also helps with keeping your (small by comparison) app files 
separate and easily uploadable/git pullable as it's own package. Anyone who 
complains that they have to upload the whole cake package for every site 
update is advertising to the world that their development cycle is stuck 
using 90's methodologies.

Re: Fast alternative to "contains"?

[gremlin]

I believe the docs have this working alongside contains already - if you 
convert your habtm to hasMany through associations and use contains for the 
hasMany to generate the in( id, id2 ,id3 ) conditions then you should have 
it down to a single query or at most a small handful.

Thanks for pointing out that I grabbed the wrong repo - I was trying to 
find it for you in a hurry from a computer I don't use often.

Re: Fast alternative to "contains"?

[gremlin]

Try this - 

https://github.com/sams/linkable

It is a newer version of the old linkable behavior - uses relationships to 
create joins as well as allows you to create joins on non-default keys. 
This might be a fairly straightforward drop in replacement for containable 
in your case. It might not, but generating logical joins is a good start 
towards reducing the number of small queries usually generated by 
containable.
Good luck.

Re: Paginating cached data

[gremlin]

Use the 1.3 ArrayDatasource and set the $records member variable to the 
part of the array you need to use as if it came from a DB in the 
constructor. Then you can do whatever you want with it. It should be pretty 
straightforward.

Re: Javascript Helper modification. Opinions, please.

[gremlin]

Or - load your jquery with the normal html tag and not the helper and
reserve your use of the helper to include scripts that are strictly on
a controller/action/view basis.
Then your jquery can be the very first thing loaded always - also you
could modify the helper by passing in a configurable list of script
names or regular expressions to check against so you could whitelist
or blacklist certain scripts from even being includable (if you
include jquery manually, and have a blacklist including a regex that
catches the jquery filename you can make the helper simply refuse to
output that script tag )

Re: meioupload sql error

[gremlin]

Is your form created with the form helper and did you remember to do
type=>'file' in the options? This error happens when the form isn't
set to multipart/form-data as the file field returns an array of keys
with info about the uploaded file.

Re: Can a plugin component auto-load a helper

[gremlin]

Yeah, pay attention to what was shown above your reply - you are
setting the facebook helper's name to be the key of the array but the
code above your reply is very clearly not setting the key to the
helpers name but using a normal numeric index.

Re: redirect with # does not work in Opera and IE but in FF and Chrome?

[gremlin]

Looks as it you are using a named field syntax to pass the hash #
param.
Try this:

$this->redirect( array(
'controller' => 'pages',
'action' => 'display',
"#{$this->params['pass'][0]}"
));

Notice that I don't use quotes around the numeric array index - that
isn't needed and is actually wrong. You don't want the key named '0'
but the 0 indexed key. The following aren't the same array( '0' =>
'value' ) and array( 0=>'value' )
Second, since you aren't passing a named param (#:somevalue) but a
regular hash (#somevalue) you should simply pass the #somevalue as the
last item in the array you use to build the url.

CakePHP 2.0.0-RC2 Conslole baking error

[gremlin]

I originally thought this error had to do with my path setup - I had
separated the core from the app so I could work more easily with git
submodules, so I ignored it. I just did a fresh checkout from the git
repo / a download of the RC2 source / and a cakeinit install of the
2.0 package (also uses git) and all 3 installs have the same issue I
had before.

My code seems to work fine via the browser.

The output of a ./cake bake Model from inside the local copy of the
core in the lib/Cake/Console folder is here
https://gist.github.com/1233884

This totally prevents me from using bake. Baking a project doesn't
work, baking a new database config doesn't work - it also doesn't
matter which of the datasources I try.

Can someone point me in the right direction here? I want to use some
of the bake tools and work on converting some shells for 2.0.

I am using XAMPP (latest version for OS X - I reinstalled it 20
minutes ago as a last ditch attempt)
OSX 10.5.8

The database.php I am working with is here with the passwords removed
but otherwise working
https://gist.github.com/1233891

I have tested it with and without the unix_socket setting and encoding
settings. All works fine from the browser but again not via the cli.

Re: Using $this->set in view doesn't set the var

[gremlin]

Keep in mind - when you are doing $this->set from an element: You
aren't calling View::set - you are calling Element::set. Why would you
expect that to behave as if it was an instance of the View class when
it isn't? Also, the two pass rendering of CakePHP means that in order
for what you propose to work you would need a 3rd pass through the
stack of set variables and rendered elements before parsing the
combined view output. This isn't how Cake works and struggling this
much to force the framework to do something it isn't meant to is going
to simply be a waste of your time, either now - getting it to work -
or later when you have to support it.

Re: joining strings in model

[gremlin]

You can't do that in *any* php class - you have to already have the
class constructed before $this->name is set - so how would your class
know how to set $this->name inside a property before instantiation?
You *can* do this in the __construct( ... ) function.

Re: calling Controller::render() from a model

[gremlin]

I think you are likely over-complicating the issue.

What you seem to really need is an event dispatching system that can
fire off events that your models, controllers, etc can simply respond
to.
Interestingly enough - there is a plugin for that.

https://github.com/m3nt0r/eventful-cakephp

This allows you to have an APP / events folder that can hold model or
controller events (or even a app/plugins/pluginName/events folder)
that simply hold listener functions and a pass by reference instance
of either the model or controller.
I even use it by passing an stdClass into the event lib at the
bootstrap level to fire events @ plugins to collect plugin routes.
There is literally near unlimited flexibility in the coupling of MVC
components using this plugin.

Good luck.

Re: Ordering images that belong to a product

[gremlin]

First, passing 'product.id' to the parent_id param isn't going to work
unless you have a field literally named "parent.id" in your images
table.
Second, unless you are going to relate images to each other using a
parent->child structure you do not need a tree - and using the tree
behavior for sequencing is silly when you can find a number of
sequencing behaviors on github if you bother looking.

Re: Model relations beginner question..

[gremlin]

If your UserType table has some a name or title field cake will
automatically use it when populating drop down lists created with
Model::find( 'list' ).

If you have a field that you use as a group name or title - which it
seems you do - that isn't called name or title you have to set the
displayField property in the model and perhaps empty the cake model
caches. I think simply setting debug in core.php to 1 and refreshing
should work.

http://book.cakephp.org/view/1062/displayField explains it better and
has sample code.

Re: HABTM again!

[gremlin]

What is being said is that you have some conventions you didn't
follow. As a result, you are writing overly-complicated code to handle
what should be automatic within the framework.

Do this:

1) move / rename your users_links table and data to a links_users
table inside mysql.
2) remove completely the model for your join table - the UsersLink
model.
3) define a normal habtm relationship between the User model and the
Link model.
4) read the manual before you start another project - all of this is
clearly explained in many translations.

Re: Does this suggestion for core feature make any sense? Please let me know.

[gremlin]

Why not use a custom passed key => value pair in the original element
call and handle the logic in your element itself.
ie

echo $this->element( 'element_name', array( 'birds' => $birds,
'controller' => $this->controller ));

Re: validation is not working properly and generating "Notice (8): Undefined property" error

[gremlin]

There is no set function in the Model class so the line $this->Contact-
>set( $this->data) is obviously not going to work.
The controller has a Controller::set function for sending data to the
views. If you want to load the Contact model and prefill it with data
use $this->Contact->read( $this->data[ 'Contact' ][ 'id' ] ) or
similar.

Re: advice on refactoring beforeFilter in app_controller

Start with breaking the chunks out into smaller private functions. See

Re: count(*) how to retrieve?

[gremlin]

You can also use a virtualField in the DepartmentBook model. The
virtualFields end up indexed into the correct array as if they were
real fields - this means you don't have to shuffle your results around
before using the data.

I put together a little gist showing what I mean.

https://gist.github.com/1073889

Hope this helps.

Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake

[gremlin]

If the fpdf libraries are at all recent you shouldn't have to use the
goofy php4 constructor. I think if you add your custom pdf class to
your vendors folder and instantiate it from a custom helper as a
member variable you could do a lot more, much more easily.

I actually enjoyed this question so I whipped up a quick example for
you - https://gist.github.com/1055702
I make no guarantees that any of the code works right out of the 'box'
seeing as how I just wrote it and it hasn't been tested or even really
checked for consistency or errors but it should get you well on your
way to doing this the right way.

Re: binary (36), is changed by Blob (36) in testing.

I answered your other thread also - Binary(36) does nothing to
generate UUID - try char(36) instead. Why would you want your UUID to
be only 0's and 1's? The correct column type is in the documentation -
maybe try reading it.

Re: FormHelper custom label overriding inputDefaults

[gremlin]

You could create a custom helper that extends the formhelper and write
an input function that merges the keys you need instead of resetting
them. Use the helper's existing input function as a starting place.
The portions handling the use of options is pretty clear.

Re: Am I Violating MVC?

[gremlin]

@Jeremy:

I think you misunderstood me. My point was that both the array-source
and a db-table are good solutions to the problem and that you don't
*need* to have your unique key be meaningless in either. You can use a
'slug' type of key in the array source or a unique key constraint on
the data in the table in such a way that you never have to deal with a
meaningless foreign_key.

Also - if you were doing an iphone app why wouldn't you just REST
enable your Cake app and build it out using something like Sencha
Touch or jQuery mobile? Which frontend doesn't dictate your backend
unless you were talking about native apps? Also - there is a million
reasons a model might not have a table. That might be the only thing I
*disagree* with you about.

Re: Am I Violating MVC?

[gremlin]

Yeah but one side effect of the array datasource is that there is no
constraint on your 'id' column. You can make it a text string - as
long as it is unique in the $records for each records id field there
is no reason to use an integer. The array datasource doesn't auto-
increment or care about uuids or column types.

Second, the question was specifically about the right way to do this
in MVC - CakePHP specifically. Worrying about how to do something
outside of cake with this data isn't in the scope of his question.
Also, any system that uses db storage for the genders is going to have
this issue. If you care you can easily enough do a structure similar
to ( id => auto increment int, slug => male/female/etc, key => 'M/F/
etc', value=>'Male/Female/etc' ) and simply do a key / value lookup to
generate options and the slug field for lookups based on gender. Easy.
I think the hardest part of the above solution would be overriding the
Gender:find( ) for generating list type finds. That might even be
overkill since you can pass options to the find( 'list' ) call.

I still think the configure method would be the easiest - plus you can
store form helper defaults in there, field defaults for field types
and then all of the other little options sets and messages that get
used could be in one place.

Re: Am I Violating MVC?

[gremlin]

Personally I dislike all the methods mentioned.

This is configuration data - load it from a config file. In your
bootstap.php do a Configure::load( 'forms' ); somewhere near the
bottom.

Then in /app/config/forms.php

put the configuration information for the select options.

$config[ 'Forms' ][ 'genderSelectOptions' ] = array( 'M' => 'Male',
'F' => 'Female' );

and load them in your views with
Configure::read( 'Forms.genderSelectOptions' ) when you need the
options loaded into the form helper.

http://book.cakephp.org/view/924/The-Configuration-Class

Another option - more robust than the method above and similar to the
Model options mentioned above is to use an ArrayDatasource and have a
Gender model that relates to the User (or whatever model has the need
to select a gender)

Re: Problem with the CakePHP Search Plugin

You didn't follow the instructions correctly.

You have to attach a behavior to the Post model. From the very

You need to edit your view file. You can do a debug( $variableName )

Re: Security component and HTTP Basic Authentication

Actually - he asked for http basic digest authentication. Meaning all
of his "protected" pages will pop up the browser credential window
instead of the html form based login that auth promotes. Before you
criticize the poster for "making zero sense" and not having "read your

Re: User/Admin definable forms (schemaless forms)

[gremlin]

Look into EAV structures. Basically you build tables that map data
types (field types) to their values and the owning model by name and
id. A polymorphic behavior would do most of the work. There are a few
of on github that google finds pretty easily.

This of course doesn't do the form building work, or decide how to map
value types to input types etc. But it should give you something to
play with.

Re: CakeDC users plugin

[gremlin]

Just a guess - is there a routes file in the plugin that you didn't
copy over to your config/routes.php? A route mapped from /users/add
to /users/register would make sense for this sort of error.

Re: cache action not working

[gremlin]

Do you have debug set to 0? If you are seeing the query log then you
likely don't and with a setting of anything higher than 0 the cache is
cleared on each call to the action.

Re: How to properly use "conditions" in model associations

[gremlin]

I tend to define conditions in associations on very few occasions. One
good use is for polymorphic models (you need to define the field =>
modelName mapping) and for models that have a enum field (or similar)
that determines some behavior of the model. IE log models and for
defining self referencing tables where I tend to use an relationship
alias (ParentNode, ChildNode)

This isn't the only time you might define conditions in the
relationship but these are the only ones that pop to mind.

The awful thing is I read it all and I think I may have actually

Please don't ever post an esoteric rant again - this is a list for
asking questions about how things work, not to brag about how long you
have been in the DaVinci fan club while blaming developers for not
bringing you a damned ladder.

The edit form should include either a hidden field for id, or pass the

Re: Custom router question

[gremlin]

What about a custom routing prefix ( ie. admin routing ) - just add
'reports' to the prefix array and then in the sales controller do a
reports_index function and in the customers controller define a
reports_index function and cakes default routing will give you the 2
urls you used as an example.

Don't wrap the DS with curly braces if you are going to use the

Re: Validation - Multiple attempts

[gremlin]

Make sure if you are passing id's for edit actions that the edit
action is in the forms action attribute ie
array( 'url'=>array( 'controller'=>'foo', 'action'=>'bar',$foo['Foo']
['id'] ))..

Also, if you use char(36) for id's then you get UUID's - and it would
be really unlikely that a user will guess a correct uuid, although
this isn't a reason not to check the action in the controller for
tampering (Security component etc)

Re: Breadcrumbs

[gremlin]

I think something similar to the form input syntax would be good. Have
it return nothing but links, all in one string and allow some options
i.e. : around, before, first, between, last as keys to input html
around, before the first item, between all items ( meaning between
consecutive links - not the first or last ), and after the last would
be enough to generate an xhtml correct unordered list. You could also
do like the tableRows function and pass more parameters for
controlling the html attributes of the ul, and li elements.

At this point I might just write the damned thing since I half specced
it already and have easy reference code =)

The point here is that you obviously haven't read the manual. Why

*READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL* then see if  you still need to post your

Re: v1.3 App::Objects not finding controllers in app/controllers/subfolders

[gremlin]

Also *I* sometimes want my controllers in sub-folders as an easy way
to use the File / Folder classes and folder locations to act as a
quick way to generate a filtered list of controllers. I have one
project with simple controllers in a widgets folder that all inherit
from a different parent controller than usual. Some parts of that app
list only the controllers in that folder as menu items/options
(Folder, Inflector, and App::build and class introspection for the
win). When I add a new module and put it in the right place with the
right docblock I don't have to worry about those rather critical menus
or synching what isn't application data with any databases.

Also just because you were told something once by a cake dev in the
past doesn't mean a) that they were right, or interested in explaining
something to you at the time or b) that the framework doesn't *now*
support the feature - either way you were wrong and rude about it.

Re: v1.3 App::Objects not finding controllers in app/controllers/subfolders

[gremlin]

I was answering his question. I don't know what his actual situation
is - perhaps he simplified his scenario when he asked his question.
Also the answer is useful to someone else who might have a legit
reason for wanting an alternate folder structure.
Thanks though, for your useful input.

Re: v1.3 App::Objects not finding controllers in app/controllers/subfolders

[gremlin]

App::build( array(
'controllers' => array(
DS . join( DS, array( 'parts', 'to', 'your', 'path' ) . DS,
... other paths for controller lookup
),
));

should work for you. I am not sure if you need to set the "normal"
path as one of the array items or not. Play around and let us know.

Re: Returning false from beforeValidate wont abort save

[gremlin]

beforeValidate runs before validation, but doesn't actually prevent
saving. If there is something you need to check that prevents saving a
record, you should put the logic in beforeSave

-Abba

Re: DatePicker / Calendar popup

[gremlin]

I already answered your question Toby.
The datepicker class is added to the date input element. That is all
that cake has to do with it. After that it is purely javascript. The
javascript is then using the classname to attach a behavior to the
element. The javascript is not a part of the CakePHP core - there are
dozens you can choose from - learn to use google.

Re: Suggestion: Improving the cakephp homepage

[gremlin]

There is nothing in the core having to do with a Calendar. That might
explain why you failed to find one.

More importantly, you seem to be under the impression that because you
saw something somewhere having to do with a Calendar ( I assume you
mean a javascript date picking widget ) referenced somewhere while
reading about CakePHP, that you expect it to be findable through some
'official' channel. As something that isn't in the core, nor CakePHP
specific, your expectations aren't very realistic. Why would they
track / document / publish information that has absolutely nothing to
do with the framework itself on the website?

For user contributed extensions or tool for CakePHP ( of which a
datepicker certainly is ) you should look to the bakery ( 
http://bakery.cakephp.org
) or use google. If you want to specifically use a datepicker widget
in your application you should figure out how to use any one of the
dozens available through a quick google search. The process should be
fairly simple - include the javascript and css files and then call a
function from within a script tag or external script somewhere on your
page. This is the same process you would have to use whether or not
you were using CakePHP. If that is too complicated then perhaps you
should study up on some of the fundamentals. They are in chapters 1 &
2 of the book you don't want to read.

Re: Re-saving user re-hashes password

[gremlin]

in the case of a password field - where the field should *always* be
cleared when the view loads - all of the clearing logic should be at
the view level.

Using the form helper

e( $form->input( 'User.password', array( 'type' => 'password', 'value'
=> '' ) ) );
I believe that should do the trick for views needing to have the hash
removed from the form field as well as allow validation to continue
working.

Re: FormHelper: unwanted "required" class

[gremlin]

Also
var $validate = array(
'fieldName1' => array(
'rule' => 'ruleName', // or: array('ruleName', 'param1',
'param2' ...)
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'on' => 'create', // or: 'update'
'message' => 'Your Error Message'
)
);

from the book - it is an example validation rule. The 'required' key
if set to false removes the required class name from the input.

Re: Weird problem with validation, bug?

[gremlin]

You should use add a field i.e 'change_password' to the model's
validation array. You can then use the Security::hash to hash that
value for saving in the action.
http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/2008/01/22/simple-user-registration-in-cakephp-12-part-ii/
should help you somewhat.

The article refers specifically to confirming passwords but the
premise is the same. You need to grab the new password and the old.
Check if the old is correct, if it is hash the new, move it to the
data array and save the appropriate model.

Re: Form Helper

[gremlin]

As long as the field is a date field in the database you should be
able to simply use $form->input( 'Model.datefieldname' , ... ) as
usual. I believe it autocreates a number of select boxes.

Good luck._

Re: How to make a good use of Elements and DRY principe ?

[gremlin]

Somehow lost some of the post.

Also in views that dont have a $users variable set you can use the
element $this->renderElement( 'users_list' );
Using ajax to return html snippets would work as well. - jquery style
- $( '#element' ).load( Url/users/index ); would load the cached
element into the #element.

Remember you need to play with the RequestHandler component and either
extension parsing or request handling code to serve the ajax view in a
blank layout.

Again have fun with this stuff. Let us know what you come up with.

Re: How to make a good use of Elements and DRY principe ?

[gremlin]

What you need to do is write an index action for your users_controller
like you would if you were NOT using ajax or reusing that action at
all.
Once you have that done, modify that function to check isset( $this-
>params['requested'] ) to see if the view action if being called via
the requestAction function.

***

function index( )
$users = $this->User->findAll( );
if( isset( $this->params['requested'] ) ){
return $users;
}
$this->set( 'users', $users );
}

Then you create an element - users_list.ctp

if( !isset( $_data ) ) {
   $_data = $this->requestAction( array( 'controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'index' ) );
}

foreach( $_data as $row _) {
echo use data
}


You can then use the element in your users_controller index view file.
$this->renderElement( 'users_list', array( '_data' => $users );

For a good write up check out the bakery articles..
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/creating-reusable-elements-with-requestaction
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/cache-elements-individually-for-each-user
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/optimizing-your-cakephp-elements-and-views-with-caching

This will show you how to create these reusable elements as well as
how to cache them based on the freshness of the model data, timestamps
and on a per user / instance basis

Enjoy.


and in other view without the $users data $this-
>renderElement( 'users_list' );

Re: Siloing in cakephp?

[gremlin]

I have had good success by using a model function to generate a custom
query from the url. Search for other posts on nested categories for
some solutions. I generally resolve the id of the article/category -
whatever is nested - using a recursive function in the model and then
pass that along to a regular find call.

Re: Workflow engine for cake

[gremlin]

All of the workflow issues are DOMAIN SPECIFIC PROBLEMS and should *
NOT * be in the framework. If you need a workflow solution you could
use CakePHP to * MAKE * one that did exactly what you needed - or even
better make a general workflow solution and release it as a Behavior /
Component / App_Controller / Plugin whatever to the Bakery.

Re: Using jquery's Ajax functions in tandem with CakePHP...

[gremlin]

You need an ajax view for the action that either prints out just the
snippet of html ( HIJAX or AJAH method ) and renders that by itself
without a layout.
Or..
You can return a javascript array in your view. ( JSON method )
Or..
You can return a well formed XML document ( AJAX method ) with an xml
layout that sets the content type headers correctly for you.

With the first one the $( "selector" ).html( returnedHtml ) will put
the markup into the the element selector ( usually a container div )
With the second two you need to parse and transform the JSON or XML
into html using jquery ( or even better, any one of the jquery dom
creation tools on the jquery plugins page ) and insert the content
into the document. Usually this would happen in one of jquery's ajax
method callbacks. There are a few good tutorials on the jquery
tutorial page.

If the appended elements need to have even handler applied to them you
can do so in the callbacks as well. There is an excellent tutorial
linked from the jquery site named something along the lines of
"Correctly using callbacks" or some such listed under the Ajax heading
that explains this very well.

Good luck.

Re: Using jquery's Ajax functions in tandem with CakePHP...

[gremlin]

You can call a script the same way, just use $( "#quote p" ).load( "/
contoller/action" );

Make sure your controller handles ajax requests. If you don't know
what that means look up requestAction or parseExtensions in the
groups.

Both are capable of internationalizing your email campaigns I believe.
As for european solution, I don't know of any of the top of my head.
Both services are quite cheap. I think campaignmonitor is $5.00 U.S. +
$0.05 U.S. for each email recipient beyond the first 5 ( they let you

Re: Reverse recursive findAllThreaded queries?

[gremlin]

gwoo that is the model I used. Nothing I have found works to lookup the
id of a category  when the category tree is passed via the url as
params. The function crazylegs wrote is logically sound but why would I
execute N queries to get to the id only to use it to do lookups against
other tables?

Just to clarify the logic is all in the model. The controller is only
calling the model function and passing the params in.

Re: Reverse recursive findAllThreaded queries?

[gremlin]

Not sure if it helps you at all but I once needed to know the ID of the
current category in a tree structure where the 'token' of the category
was the url param and not the id.

IE. http://server.com/categories/art/painting/van_gogh
and I needed to resolve the id of the category 'van_gogh' in order to
look up related records in other tables.

I used this in my category model.

function setCategory( $c = null )
{
if( is_array( $c ) )
{
$this->id = 1;
if( count( $c ) > 0 )
{
$d = array_values( $c );
$t = array_pop( $d );

$query = "SELECT parent_0.id FROM categories as parent_0 
";
$where = "WHERE parent_0.token = '" . $t . "' ";
$loop = 1;
while( count( $d ) > 0 )
{
$t = array_pop( $d );
$query = $query . "LEFT JOIN categories as parent_" 
. $loop . " ON
parent_" . ($loop-1) . ".parent_id = parent_" . $loop . ".id ";
$where = $where . "AND parent_" . $loop . ".token = '" . 
$t . "' ";
$loop++;
}

$category_id = $this->query( $query . $where );
if( $category_id )
{
$this->id = $category_id[0]['parent_0']['id'];
}
else
{
$this->id = -1;
}
}
}
}

Where the category had id, token, created, modified, description, and
parent_id fields.

In my controller I look up the category params like so.

function index( $path = null )
{
$this->Category->setCategory( $function_args );
$this->set( 'category_data', $this->Category->findAll(
"Category.id = $this->{Category->id}", null, null, 0 )  );
}

The limit is absolutely not an option. I think perhaps a arg count on
the parameters could be used to set the recursive depth for the findall
query on the parent category relationship though.

Anyone tell me if I am on the right track?

Re: Nested categories controller and routing

[gremlin]

I have thought of all of this before and none of these solutions quite
seems to solve my problem.

I need to be able to recover the id for the category entry in order to
reference various related models to generate the content.

The number of parameters in the url needs to be dynamic and must
control a mysql self join. The results of this self join need to
populate the category model.

I can not pass the id into the controller in this case. I also can't
use a findall or findallbyname since the names of a category might not
be unique. I need to be able to handle an url like the following
examples. All of them.

domain.ext/categories/books/
domain.ext/categories/books/programming
domain.ext/categories/programming/
domain.ext/categories/software/
domain.ext/categories/software/product/
domain.ext/categories/software/product/downloads
domain.ext/categories/software/product/reviews

where the parameters passed to the categories controller will determine
what else happens. I can control the rest but I can't seem to get
around populating the category model with the information it needs. I
can get the param count and construct the query manually - is there a
trick to approaching this problem from such an angle? Am I missing
something entirely.

I cant split the controllers up. I need this to work from a single
categories_controller and I need to get the id of the category from the
nested url in a single query if at all possible. A self join will do
this. I can manage the sql generation easily enough.

Nested categories controller and routing

[gremlin]

If I create a model with a relationship to itself ie a nested
categories model with a belongs to and has many relationship I can
easily enough get a set of nested categories data.

The problem for me is that if I wish to reference the content related
to that category I must either reference it directly or set a nesting
depth limit on the parameters I pass via the url. More clearly I can't
figure out how I could set a controller to read category information
from an url that might have no parameters or 5 or 13 or any other
number.

Is there a way to take a structure like so :
Categories
__
id   -   parent_id   -   value
__
0   -   null-   null
1   -  0-   articles
2   -  0-   files
3   -  1-   programming
4   -  3-   php

etc..

and represent the actual hierarchy in the url as parameters?
domain.ext/
domain.ext/articles
domain.ext/articles/php

particulary in the case where in the future I might want to add a
sub-category to "php" thus making the url into
domain.ext/articles/php/cake or similiar?

Just my 2 cents.
Keep addresses in an address table.
A join table could connect contacts to addresses   -  likewise for
companies and addresses.
Disallowing a company to have the same address as a contact is going to
eventually bite you in the ass. I for one do private contract work from
my home. My own companies address is my home address. I could be a
contact REQIURING a company address identical to my personal one.

Re: Association help for an internal table hierarchy

[gremlin]

I use even shorter keys id and pid since I like short names. I was
writing out long names to make them obvious in the source as to what
they are.

Use whatever names you want. Just make sure to use cake conventions or
make sure you set the table and all of the keynames in the model

also this assumes you have your categories table with a name field.

Re: Association help for an internal table hierarchy

[gremlin]

Try being more verbose with your association declarations.
Assign one for both the parent and the child. I will post an example.

[snip]
class DownloadCategory extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'DownloadCategory';
var $displayField = 'download_category_name';

var $hasMany = array(
'Child Download Category' => array(
'className' => 'DownloadCategory',
'foreignKey' => 'download_category_parent_id' )
);

var $belongsTo = array(
'Parent Download Category' => array(
'className' => 'DownloadCategoryCategory',
'foreignKey' => 'download_category_parent_id' )
);
[/snip]

I used long table names here. I might be doing this incorrectly as when
I scaffold this I get some interesting menu items in the scaffold view
method for a category. It has list category ( from the belongs to ) and
list categories ( from the has many ) displayed as options. If there is
a better way to do this I am unaware of it.

Hope I helped and that someone can help both of us beyond this point.

also just using the html in the view and giving the button the onclick
