Re: How can controller action function distinguish whether URL ends with .xml or not?
From what i remember this should do the trick, in your controller action
if ( $this-RequestHandler-isXML()) {
// do some xml specific code
}
Check out the documentation on Request Handling for more details.

Dear Cakephp gurus,
I am creating some web services using cakephp with XML. When user visit a
URL, cakephp is smart enough to detect the URL extension and direct to the
correct view folder. For example, if URL ends with .xml, view is directed
to the xml folder. My problem comes with the controller. If there any way
for controller to know whether URL ends with .xml? Currently, I have to
create new actions for add, edit, delete and view just to handle .xml URLs.
THank you.

Re: PHP Warning: SplFileInfo::openFile(/srv/www/lighttpd/app/tmp/cache/persistent/cake_core_file_map)
Hi I joined and I am posting right now because of the lack of succes I have
seen all over the web about this issue and while looking for the solution I
found MANY production sites with this warning messages all overas this
is the first post that comes up on google when you search for this issue
here goes the solution.
I solved this problem on fedora 17. I did two things:
1 Add my user to apache group, add apache user to my user group.
2 Read carefully SELinux logs, on fedora I had to issue some commands (that
was sugested copy/paste by the details in the SELinux warning) to let cake
write files. If your distribution of SE does not give you a simple option
to allow or not, disable SELinux as last resort.
So add apache and your user to each other group and disable (or allow cake
on) SELinux.
I hope this helps and bring me good karma =]

If you're encountering the SplFileInfo error in CakePHP2 and you're
absolutely certain that your file/directory permissions are set up

PHP 5.2.8 or greater and although you'd usually be alerted on the default
page if you were using the wrong version, you wouldn't be alerted if you'd
developed your app on one server and then moved it to another.
I experienced this error after developing a Cake2 app on a PHP5.3 server
and then moving it to a PHP 5.1 server. Upgrading to 5.2.17 (which is above
5.2.8) solved the problem.

Re: browser compatibility: the weirdest thing ever with IE. throws flash message all the time!!!
If it only occurs on IE it might be a prolem with the user session.
Try setting Session.checkAgent to false in core.php and see if that
helps.
I had problems with sessions getting dropped in IE, with this setting

I am not even close to getting this. I am totally stunned. Its so

Is there any way, that IE cant handle cakes flash messages, or the CSS

here is my controller profile code:

so IE always(!) goes to that certain profile throws this line
$this-Session-setFlash('this account is not active.');
BTW i am using this code to throw the cake typical messages
if($session-check('Message.flash')):
echo $session-flash();
endif;
appreciate your help. thanks s much

loadModel() changes FormHelper output in Cake 2.0.4
I suspect this might be a bug--looking for confirmation, and/or advice on the best place to report it. I have a controller with no associated model. In other words, public $uses = null; I use FormHelper to build a form for a controller action. Because there is no model, the form's ID and input names are not decorated with the model name. I use loadModel() to help process the submitted form values, after checking $this-request-isPost(). When FormHelper creates the form after this, it uses the loaded model name in the form's ID and input names. This means subsequently submitted form values have moved to a different location in $this-request-data. Maybes the workaround is to call loadModel() on every action, whether I need to use it or not...but that is awkward. -- 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.

Using EmailComponent inside a component or abstract controller

Re: Want generatetreelist() results in alphabetical order
OK, I decided to bake up a solution myself. I don't contend that it
is the fastest or the best, but it is simple and it seems to work.
Drop these two functions into your model and call the first.
//
// Convert the results of a $this-find('threaded') call into a list,
wherein all items
// are ordered as a tree. Unlike generatetreelist() (as of Cake
1.3), peers in this
// list are also ordered (however they were by the preceding
find() ).
// This is meant to be used in models with Tree behavior.
//
// Inputs:
// $find_results - output from $this-find('threaded')
// $table - the name of the model containing keys and values
// $key - the name of the value in the model to become the key in
the output array (e.g. 'id')
// $value - the name of value in the model to become the value in
the output array (e.g. 'name')
//
// Output: a flat, one-dimensional array similar to that from
generatetreelist()
//
function _threadedFindToTreeList($find_results, $table, $key, $value,
$spacer = '--')
{
$our_results = array();
$this-_threadedFindToTreeListR($find_results, $table, $key,
$value,
$spacer, 0, $our_results);
return $our_results;
}
//
//
function _threadedFindToTreeListR($find_results, $table, $key,
$value, $spacer, $recursion_lvl, $our_results)
{
foreach($find_results as $item)
{
if ( isset($item[$table]) )
{
// Add one entry to the bottom of our
accumulated results.
$spaced_val = '';
for ($i = 0; $i $recursion_lvl; $i++)
$spaced_val .= $spacer;
$spaced_val .= $item[$table][$value];
$our_results[ $item[$table][$key] ] =
$spaced_val;
if ( isset($item['children']) )
$this-_threadedFindToTreeListR($item['children'], $table, $key,
$value, $spacer, $recursion_lvl+1, $our_results);
}
}
}

Adding multiple form fields with autocomplete
Hi, I've noticed that CakePHP has an autoComplete helper, but I'm
having trouble figuring out how to make it work for my application:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/632/autoComplete
I have 3 controllers:
PracticeItems
PracticeInstances
PracticeSessions
A PracticeSession will have 1 or more PracticeInstances
A PracticeInstance has 1 PracticeItem
I'm working on the add method for PracticeSessions.
This form should start with 4 fields:
PracticeItem.0.name (this one is autocomplete)
PracticeInstance.0.timeminutes
PracticeInstance.0.tempostart
PracticeInstance.0.tempofinish
It shouldn't be hard to add a button that will generate another 4
fields with the value 0 incremented accordingly. My problem is that
autoComplete() accepts its argument as ModelName.FieldName. I can't
use the notation with a number in the middle.
This means when I get back $this-data I have something like:
Array
(
[PracticeItem] = Array
(
[name] = Another Test Item
)
[PracticeInstance] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[timeminutes] = 20
[tempostart] = 100
[tempofinish] = 120
)
)
)
But what I want is
Array
(
[PracticeItem] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[name] = Another Test Item
)
)
[PracticeInstance] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[timeminutes] = 20
[tempostart] = 100
[tempofinish] = 120
)
)
)
This would be trivial for a single entry, but as I'll be adding more
form fields on the fly, I'm not sure how it will work if I can't say
$ajax-autoComplete('PracticeItem.n.name', '/practice_items/
autoComplete')
I'm thinking I could add an extra parameter to the autoComplete
function, but since it's built in, I'm not sure how to go about this.

Re: Adding multiple form fields with autocomplete
So I've looked further into this, and I tried the obvious solution
It seems that the items in $this-data are assigned a number from the
name field of the input element.
name=data[PracticeInstance][0][tempostart]
means the form will feed the data back as $this-
data['PracticeInstance']['0']['tempostart']
So when I created my ajax autoComplete field I tried:
$ajax-autoComplete('PracticeItem.name', '/practice_items/
autoCompleteName', array('name' = 'data[PracticeItem][0][name]'));
For some reason the second autocomplete field won't autocomplete. When
I submit the form though, my $this-data looks like:
Array
(
[PracticeItem] = Array
(
[name] = TEST
)
[PracticeInstance] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[timeminutes] = 20
[tempostart] = 120
[tempofinish] = 130
)
[1] = Array
(
[timeminutes] = 40
[tempostart] = 100
[tempofinish] = 110
)
)
)
As you can see, the PracticeItem element has the first autoComplete
field's data missing, and it acts as though the only bit that
qualifies as [PracticeItem][name] is the last entry in the form.

It seems that the items in $this-data are assigned a number from the
name field of the input element.
name=data[PracticeInstance][0][tempostart]
means the form will feed the data back as $this-
data['PracticeInstance']['0']['tempostart']
So when I created my ajax autoComplete field I tried:
$ajax-autoComplete('PracticeItem.name', '/practice_items/
autoCompleteName', array('name' = 'data[PracticeItem][0][name]'));
For some reason the second autocomplete field won't autocomplete. When
I submit the form though, my $this-data looks like:
Array
(
[PracticeItem] = Array
(
[name] = TEST

[PracticeInstance] = Array

[tempostart] = 100
[tempofinish] = 110

As you can see, the PracticeItem element has the first autoComplete
field's data missing, and it acts as though the only bit that
qualifies as [PracticeItem][name] is the last entry in the form.

Re: Adding multiple form fields with autocomplete
digging through the DOM further, I notice that the autocomplete form
element creates a div after itself with
id=PracticeItemName_autoComplete. It has the same id for each
autocomplete form (which would explain why only one works), so I guess
my question comes down to:
How can I specify the name of this helper div when invoking the
$ajax-autoComplete method?

Re: Adding multiple form fields with autocomplete
I can edit the name of the helper div with the 'div_id' option, but it
doesn't seem to let both fields use the autocomplete function. At this
point, I'm not sure how to diagnose the issue any further.

At least you'll find out if Cake thinks it has saved it correctly.
Also, try this in your model:
function beforeSave() {
die(debug($this-data));
}
Might be interesting to see what is being passed out.
Can you show and tell more of the code that is calling the save?

This is odd because cake is telling me that it saved $this-data, and
as you can see, the values above are not zero. I have the feeling that
I'm not understanding something about data relationships. Any idea why
these fields are getting set to 0?
In the final application users won't really create PracticeInstances
manually (it will be part of creating a PracticeSession), but I'd like
to be able to add fields for testing.

Re: Cake won't save data in $this-data (data relationship weirdness)
Okay, I feel like an idiot.
I said:
$this-PracticeInstance-save();
instead of:
$this-PracticeInstance-save($this-data);
foolish me. The datetime fields were autopopulating because a record
was being inserted, but it had no data and those are the only fields
that get filled automatically. Everything works now. Sorry to kill
time with a slight oversight.

At least you'll find out if Cake thinks it has saved it correctly.
Also, try this in your model:
function beforeSave() {
die(debug($this-data));
}
Might be interesting to see what is being passed out.
Can you show and tell more of the code that is calling the save?

What happens when you put the data straight into the table without Cake?
What are the data types of the fields? Do you have any validation rules
in your PracticeInstance model? If not (I have experienced this before)
it passes Cake validation but fails at the database level, tricking
Cake into thinking that all is OK.
Are you running this from within the practice_instances controller? If
so, try this:
if ($this-PracticeInstance-save($this-data['PracticeInstance'])):

Re: Cake won't save my data
Thanks Alan, my table is definitely being populated now. I've fixed up
the controller names to follow the convention.
On my PracticeItems/index view I have created a link to the add form
like so:
echo $html-link('add new item', array('controller' =
'PracticeItems', 'action' = 'add'));
When I arrive at the page, the url is /cakeRoot/PracticeItems/add
When the form submits, the url changes to /cakeRoot/practice_items/add
Why won't $html-link put the url in the conventional format?
(practice_items)
Would it make more sense to say
echo $html-link('add new item', array('controller' =
'practice_items', 'action' = 'add'));
in order to keep with convention?
Furthermore, when I enable the redirect in
practice_items_controller.php, I get an error when the redirect
executes. The redirect line is as follows:
$this-redirect(array('action' = 'index'));
which should take me to /cakeRoot/PracticeItems/index, but instead I
get the error:
Warning (2): Cannot modify header information - headers already sent
by (output started at /var/www/go/htdocs/practicelog/cake/basics.php:
306) [CORE/cake/libs/controller/controller.php, line 644]
EDIT: I fixed this issue by disabling the line that said
$this-set('debug', pr($this-data));
It would seem sending data to the view makes a redirect impossible.
I've included this in case anyone has a similar issue in the future.

having trouble understanding associations
Looking here: http://book.cakephp.org/view/78/Associations-Linking-Models-Together I'm certain my issue is due to a personal lack of understanding. I'm trying to homebrew a simple app to keep track of my guitar practice. I have the following models: PracticeItem: a specific exercise to be practiced any number of times PracticeInstance: an instance of having practiced one specific PracticeItem PracticeSession: a collection of PracticeInstance My immediate instinct is to say PracticeInstance hasOne PracticeItem. According to the Book: X hasOne Y = table Y having an X_id field. In my case PracticeInstance hasOne PracticeItem would mean: PracticeItems has a field practice_instance_id This makes no sense because if I were to create a PracticeItem called Major Scales 2, I would plan to practice it multiple times. If the field for this PracticeItem looks like id = 123 title = Major Scales 2 practice_instance_id = 23 then I would have to duplicate the PracticeItem every time I practiced it. To me it would make more sense if PracticeInstance looked like: id = primaryKey, autoincrement datetime = ... comment = ... timeSpent = ... practice_item_id = 123 Can anyone explain where I might have mixed things up?

Re: having trouble understanding associations
It's a little difficult to wrap my head around, but I think I see
what's going on.
belongsTo is a many to one relation, so many PracticeInstance belong
to 1 PracticeItem
That defies my intuition, because it's more natural for me to think of
a PracticeItem as belonging to a PracticeSession. The PracticeSession
has a PracticeItem.
I'll work through developing this app, and see if my understanding
doesn't grow a little. Thanks, Gian.

redirect to anchor link for form validation
Hi, I've successfully set up a contact form in cakePHP, and when validation rules in my model don't pass, the form is reloaded with all my validation errors displayed properly. That battle was won :) Now for the tricky part. Can anyone think of a way to not only have the form page reload with error messages, but jump to an anchor link at the top of the form if errors are present? I'm sure I could use javascript for this, but as it stands I can't count on users having javascript enabled. Currently when the form reloads with error messages in place, users have to scroll down from the top of the page, and I see this as a slight problem. Obviously CakePHP is smart enough to redirect to an appropriate URL when validation fails, all I need to do is add #myAnchor to the end of that URL somehow. Any ideas? I've thought of adding a line to my beforeFilter that says something like 1. if we're visiting the form page 2. and if some error flag variable is set 3. catch the URL somehow 4. Add the anchor to the end But I'm not sure on the specifics of how I'd go about this, and as this filter would run before the any page in the controller runs, I have concerns about efficiency. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your input. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Validation issues for Contact form (doesn't use database)
Hi, I've poured over all the documentation I possibly can, and searched the newsgroups, and haven't yet found a solution to my problem. I'm creating a contact form which doesn't use any databases. As the controller action never calls save(), I don't get any of the nice automatic validation. Here are my files: Contact Model: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/568757600 Contacts Controller: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1939947381 /views/contact/index.ctp (main form):http://bin.cakephp.org/view/ 526960429 /views/contact/add.ctp:http://bin.cakephp.org/view/378503276 The add() method of my ContactsController will take the data from the form at index.ctp, and if it all validates, send off an e-mail. The else clause near the bottom of the add() method attempts to send the user back to the original form if they made any errors, passing the array of errors so that they can be displayed near the form fields. It doesn't look as though $this-redirect() can pass data to a view, so I'm wondering how I can achieve this. It just seems inefficient to reproduce the form on the add.ctp view. If this is the only option, I'll have to go ahead with it, but if anyone can offer a more elegant solution, I'd be interested to hear of it. Thanks for having a look. If I get this figured out, I'll be sure to write an article on my blog so that complete newbies like myself can figure this out. To me a contact form with validation is extremely basic, and I didn't figure it would be so hard to get this going. I have found articles on how to do this, and although the Contact model has a validation array, the errors aren't automagically popping up on the form, so I need to do it manually somehow.

Re: Validation issues for Contact form (doesn't use database)
Ajax is definitely a working solution, but I'm somewhat leary of requiring users to have javascript enabled (call me a purist :P) An element is definitely a good idea. I'm still wondering if it would be possible to pass data as part of a redirect. I've thought of writing a function to create this functionality, but I'm not sure if it would break the MVC paradigm. Definitely a function I would be interested in knowing about, or seeing in future versions of CakePHP. Thanks for the suggestion, John.

Re: Validation issues for Contact form (doesn't use database)
Having the form submit to the index() function worked brilliantly. To my surprise, this enabled the automagic validation messages! All I have to do now is style the messages with CSS, and I have the trickiest part of my project done. I'll be sure to post a link to the blog post I plan to write on this topic when it's finished.

Re: Validation issues for Contact form (doesn't use database)
Now here's a tricky extension (still determined to avoid AJAX). When my form fails, and validation errors pop up, how could I have the page jump to an anchor link connected to the form? The top section of my page is somewhat large, so I'd like to avoid excessive scrolling with an anchor link. + 1,000,000 bonus points to anyone who can figure this out On Mar 16, 5:07 pm, Johnny Ferguson hyperfle...@gmail.com wrote: Having the form submit to the index() function worked brilliantly.

Re: After the Cake is baked...
I am most concerned about legal issues because I am least equipped to handle those myself. While I do not necessarily expect to be sued, frankly I do expect to be threatened with lawsuits in short order, and I want to know exactly where I stand before that happens. (I intend to create a crowd-sourced review site, somewhat similar to Yelp.) I could pay a lawyer $400 for an overview, but I'd rather spend $40 on a book with the same information. Or even better, get input from people in this group who have already walked the path.

Identifying the moment of successful login using AuthComponent
How can I run code on AuthComponent's successful login _event_? For example, to record the login date/time in the database? I've tried writing my own login() action in the controller--but by the time that function executes, login has already been performed by the component--so I don't know whether the login _just occurred_, or it happened five minutes ago!

Thanks. I am just a Cake novice--should I infer that there is no solution to my problem that uses AuthComponent as-is?

Re: Identifying the moment of successful login using AuthComponent
Nevermind, the book does cover this situation. http://book.cakephp.org/view/248/AuthComponent-Variables#autoRedirect-395 The key to the puzzle is understanding that when your login() executes, your form contents have _already_ been processed by AuthComponent...so the login event condition is when (FORM_NOT_EMPTY CREDENTIALS_NOT_ALREADY_REJECTED).

Re: Pretty URLs don't work without .htaccess ?
Right, I was referring to mod_rewrite and not .htaccess in particular. I see the links generated by HtmlHelper are wrong too. They point to /app/webroot/filename when Apache's root is already set to /app/ webroot/, so they ought to therefore point to /filename. At this point I am only guessing the bug is related to not using mod_rewrite?! I see nothing in the docs about reconfiguring HtmlHelper's base directory, and I followed the instructions in the core app config file to no avail. I'm going to re-enable mod_rewrite and just pray all these problems disappear. On Jan 27, 4:34 pm, Miles J mileswjohn...@gmail.com wrote: Yes .htaccess is required because its uses mod_rewrite.

It DOES work if I tryhttp://myserver.com/index.php/items/view instead, but that isn't a very pretty URL. So I wonder, is there anything I can do short of turning on .htaccess, to make the clean/ pretty URLs available? Using Cake v1.2.5, that is. Thanks.

Re: Pretty URLs don't work without .htaccess ?
Why did I disable mod_rewrite in the first place? Well, the core config file says pretty URLs are available regardless (see line 48), so I figured I'd keep complexity to a minimum. Having re-enabled mod_rewrite, both the problems I listed above are resolved.

I see the links generated by HtmlHelper are wrong too. They point to /app/webroot/filename when Apache's root is already set to /app/ webroot/, so they ought to therefore point to /filename. At this point I am only guessing the bug is related to not using mod_rewrite?! I see nothing in the docs about reconfiguring HtmlHelper's base directory, and I followed the instructions in the core app config file to no avail. I'm going to re-enable mod_rewrite and just pray all these problems disappear. Any path problems inevitably stem from having your config badly defined. Are pretty URLs available without using .htaccess? yes Are pretty URLs available without using mod_rewrite on apache? no Did you disable mod_rewrite for a reason? You can't achieve pretty urls without mod_rewrite or equivalent, and asking how to get pretty urls while actively preventing the possibility is a bit confusing.

Pretty URLs don't work without .htaccess ?
This issue was last discussed here in 2006, as far as I can tell. I'd like to know if anything has changed since then. Are pretty URLs available without using .htaccess? For example, with my Apache document root set to my app's webroot dir, a controller items and an action view, and scaffolding on, I would expect something to be available at http://myserver.com/items/view . But it is not; the result is a 404 error message. IOW, the example given in the book (http://book.cakephp.org/view/105/ Scaffolding) doesn't work.

HtmlHelper does not like multiple URL parameters?
My code (Cake 1.2.5):
echo $html-url( array(
'controller' = 'users',
'action' = 'activate',
'?' = array('e' = 'EMAIL', 'c' = 'CODE')), TRUE );
The output:
http://localhost/index.php/users/activate?e=EMAILc=CODE
This output is wrong, right? Should be:
http://localhost/index.php/users/activate?e=EMAILc=CODE
Workarounds? Must I use slashes as argument delimiters, or just build
the URL myself?

Moving the SQL debug information from its default location
Wondering if there is some method of moving the SQL debug information from the bottom of the page with some kind of variable. This may be nitpicking, but I'm sort of irritated with how cake is placing it outside my /html tag. something like: ... default.ctp layout file ... ?php echo $debugInfo; ? /html --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Prefix routing behavior is not OK
I found this article to be usefull regarding prefix routing: http://www.pagebakers.nl/2008/12/04/cakephp-router-and-prefixes/ It shows how you can get the right urls for paginator, links and forms using cake's prefix functionality.

I tried many workarounds and changed many times and nothing changed. I tried to set prefix in the url array for different functions, in pagination urls everything failed to work with me.

custom routes issue
I have the following routes set up for the front end of my app:
Router::connect('/become-our-client', array('controller' = 'users',
'action' = 'register'));
Router::connect('/contact-us', array('controller' = 'contact',
'action' = 'contact_us'));
Router::connect('/latest-projects', array('controller' = 'portfolio',
'action' = 'index'));
Router::connect('/latest-projects/*', array('controller' =
'portfolio', 'action' = 'view'));
Router::connect('/', array('controller' = 'pages', 'action' =
'display', 'home'));
Router::connect('/*', array('controller' = 'pages', 'action' =
'display'));
The problem i have is with the first two links, become-our-client and
contact-us. Cake calls the pages controller instead of what i
specified for these routes and returns a view not found error. The
latest-projects link on the other hand works perfectly. I don't
understand what the problem is, from what i've read about it and
programmed so far in cake, the routes are parsed in the order they are
declared in the routes.php file, so /contact-us should allways lead to
what i've specified, and anything else in the form /* will be routed
to the pages controller.
If i leave the default route /pages/* it works fine but it is not an
option for this project.
I don't understand what the problem is, i've built similar routing
rules for other apps i created in cake and never encountered such an
issue. Could it be a bug with the latest cake 1.2.2.1820 stable
version?

Re: scaffold
Scaffold is not supposed to be used in production environments. Use bake instead to physically create the model,view and controller files and edit those according to your needs.

Re: Change view by userstate
if you are using the Auth component for user authentification, you can
check if a user is logged in or not simply by using:
$session-check('Auth.User.id')
as a condition in your if clause
