pre production check off list

2009-06-22 Thread justclint

I remember seeing a check off list of things to do before making your
app live (ie: set degub to 0). But I cant seem to find it anymore. Can
some one point me in the right direction where this info is.

Thanks!

Clint

Re: retrieving data from another table

2009-05-18 Thread justclint

Ok, im not sure what I was doing wrong but it was just as simple as
you mentioned. I just added $this->Product->recursive = 2; and viola,
everything was fetched properly.

Thanks a million!

Re: link TO an image

2009-05-18 Thread justclint

Are you placing the folder "upload" somewhere in the webroot folder?

If not, you would want to create your upload folder in the webroot
folder. If they are images getting uploaded you might make a folder
structure like:

webroot/img/photos/mediagallery/uploads/

Then your image helper would look something like:

$html->link($html->image('photos/mediagallery/uploads/main_demo.jpg'),
array($html->url('
photos/mediagallery/uploads/main_zoom.jpg')), array('title' =>
'hello', 'escape' =>
false, 'class' => 'mg_main'));

Hope this helps.

Re: retrieving data from another table

2009-05-18 Thread justclint

Hey Faza and Rick thanks for your reply. Yes, I am trying to get
Gender.name. So what Im trying to do is get my array to show up
something like:

[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 21
[color_id] => 3
[image_thumb] => aw_ls_black.png
[price] => 27.95
[shipping_price] => 5.00
[style_id] => 1
)

[Style] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => All Weather Longsleeve Compression Shirt

   [Gender] => Array
   (
 [gender_id] => 2
 [gender_name] => Men
 )
[category_id] => 2
[material_id] => 2
[application_id] => 2

*Notice the sub array Gender under Style array

I tried doing the "$this->Style->recursive = 1; " and "$this->Product-
>Style->recursive = 1; " in my products_controller as shown below but
still not getting the correct results.

function view($id = null) {
if (!$id) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid Product.', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}
$this->Style->recursive = 1;
$this->set('product', $this->Product->read(null, $id));

}

And in my product/view Ive tried echo $product['Gender']['name']
$product['Style']['Gender.name'] but obviously its showing as an
unrecognized variable.

Im reading up on the containable right now as I've never used that
behavior before.

Any additional help would be great. Thanks guys!

retrieving data from another table

2009-05-17 Thread justclint

Im pulling the data successfully but Im trying to get the "name" value
as opposed to the "id" value in a separate table.

When I do debug I get this:
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 21
[color_id] => 3
[image_thumb] => aw_ls_black.png
[price] => 27.95
[shipping_price] => 5.00
[style_id] => 1
)

[Style] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => All Weather Longsleeve Compression Shirt
[gender_id] => 2
[category_id] => 2
[material_id] => 2
[application_id] => 2


For sake of example I will just reference the gender_id. I need it to
show the name not the id.

I have the following tables/models.

Products
Styles
Genders

Product Model:
class Product extends AppModel {

var $name = 'Product';

var $belongsTo = array(
'Style' => array(
'className' => 'Style',
'foreignKey' => 'style_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
),
);

}

Styles Model:
class Style extends AppModel {

var $name = 'Style';

var $belongsTo = array(
'Gender' => array(
'className' => 'Gender',
'foreignKey' => 'gender_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
),
'Category' => array(
'className' => 'Category',
'foreignKey' => 'category_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
),
'Material' => array(
'className' => 'Material',
'foreignKey' => 'material_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
),
'Application' => array(
'className' => 'Application',
'foreignKey' => 'application_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);

}

Gender Model:
var $name = 'Gender';

var $hasMany = array(

'Style' => array(
'className' => 'Style',
'foreignKey' => 'gender_id',
'dependent' => false,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
)
);

}
?>

The page im trying to get this on is my product view page. Action
looks like this:

function view($id = null) {
if (!$id) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid Product.', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
}

$this->set('product', $this->Product->read(null, $id));
}

Ive been playing with this for hours and I just cant seem to get it.

If you need more info, please dont hesitate to ask.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

the same issue but I've just deleted them so just to simplify and to
work with one item and then I can repeat whatever the solution is.

Yes, you are correct about the foreach. It is as follows on the index
view:
-
counter(array(
'format' => __('Page %page% of %pages%, showing %current% records out
of %count% total, starting on record %start%, ending on %end%', true)
));
?>



sort('id');?>
sort('name');?>
sort('color_id');?>



>










link(__('View', true), 
array('action'=>'view',
$product['Product']['id'])); ?>
link(__('Edit', true), 
array('action'=>'edit',
$product['Product']['id'])); ?>
link(__('Delete', true), array
('action'=>'delete', $product['Product']['id']), null, sprintf(__('Are
you sure you want to delete # %s?', true), $product['Product']
['id'])); ?>

Thanks!

Re: retrieve specific data

2009-04-03 Thread justclint

I'd never used the debugger before so I had to do a little reading
first but I ran it and here's the results:
---
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Item 1
[color_id] => 2
)

[Color] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => White
)

)

[1] => Array
(
[Product] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => Item 2
[color_id] => 1
)

[Color] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Black
)

)

)



So in the following under the products->color_id, I know the field is
getting populated in the table as an id but how do I get it to show
the color name that corresponds to that id?

Thanks Brian!

Thanks for the quick response Brian!

When I add:



I get error:

Notice (8): Undefined index:  Color [APP\views\products\index.ctp,
line 48]

Any suggestions?

retrieve specific data

2009-04-03 Thread justclint

My app is working but a couple of my fields are not pulling the data I
want.

I have a table called products and another table called colors. My
colors table has 2 fields, id and name.

When adding the product, you select the color (from drop down menu)
and it will insert the color id into the color_id field of the
products table.

Once I add a product, instead of displaying the actual color it shows
the colors id. (ie: 2 instead of blue)

How do I get my page to pull the actual color name not the color id?

When launching the page it does the following query:

SELECT `Product`.`id`, `Product`.`name`, `Product`.`category_id`,
`Product`.`material_id`, `Product`.`color_id`, `Product`.`sport_id`,
`Product`.`price`, `Product`.`image_link`, `Product`.`buy_link`,
`Category`.`id`, `Category`.`name`, `Material`.`id`,
`Material`.`name`, `Color`.`id`, `Color`.`name`, `Sport`.`id`,
`Sport`.`name` FROM `products` AS `Product` LEFT JOIN `categories` AS
`Category` ON (`Product`.`category_id` = `Category`.`id`) LEFT JOIN
`materials` AS `Material` ON (`Product`.`material_id` =
`Material`.`id`) LEFT JOIN `colors` AS `Color` ON
(`Product`.`color_id` = `Color`.`id`) LEFT JOIN `sports` AS `Sport` ON
(`Product`.`sport_id` = `Sport`.`id`) WHERE 1 = 1 LIMIT 20

I think I need the following part of the query to be changed from:

`colors` AS `Color` ON (`Product`.`color_id` = `Color`.`id`)

to

`colors` AS `Color` ON (`Product`.`color_id` = `Color`.`name`)

My controller is just the default one after creating through the
console so Products->index looks like:

function index() {
$this->Product->recursive = 0;
$this->set('products', $this->paginate());
}


My Product model looks like:

var $belongsTo = array(
'Color' => array(
'className' => 'Color',
'foreignKey' => 'color_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);

My Color model looks like this:

var $hasMany = array(
'Product' => array(
'className' => 'Product',
'foreignKey' => 'color_id',
'dependent' => false,
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => '',
'limit' => '',
'offset' => '',
'exclusive' => '',
'finderQuery' => '',
'counterQuery' => ''
)
);

And Products->index view looks like this:

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Re: view pdf files?

2009-02-11 Thread justclint

Thanks Brian. That helps a lot. The only thing Ive been using webroot
for was just images and my ccs and js. I didnt realize it was meant to
be (literally) the webroot. This is the first MVC framework I've used.

Well my forms finally link correctly now.

However I did notice one little detail. It doesnt bother me, I dont
need to fix it but I just thought Id throw this out there.

I noticed that if I had a directory in my views like:

/fitness_lab/forms (forms being a folder with views in it)

then I could not make the same directory in the webroot. I had to
change it to:

/fitness_lab/form (no 's').

Brian, thanks again for all your help!

Re: view pdf files?

2009-02-09 Thread justclint

Thanks mscdex. Your 2nd suggestion is exactly what Im trying to do.
Brian suggested adding the directory to webroot which works as
intended.

However, I did have the pdfs in a the views folder and I tried the
redirect() but I run into the same problem trying to define what the
controller and action would be for a pdf file.

How would I use this redirect to show the pdf file?

Thanks!

Re: view pdf files?

2009-02-09 Thread justclint

Thanks Brian. I created a folder in webroot that leads to my pdf. It
works great!

Just on a side note, is this a standard way of doing this, creating
additional folder structures in the webroot?

I was just under the impression that all this was supposed to be done
in the views folder.

Thanks!

Re: view pdf files?

2009-02-08 Thread justclint

Thanks for replying Brian. Actually I had a wrong link in there but
after fixing it I dont get the error message anymore. Now it just
renders my index page while the url still end in .pdf.

In my controller I got this:

function forms() {
$this->pageTitle = 'Fitness Lab : Forms';
$this->set('page', 'forms');
$this->set('pageName', 'Forms');
$this->render('/fitness_lab/forms/index');
}// end forms()

function health_questionnaire() {
$this->pageTitle = 
'Fitness Lab : Forms : Health
Questionnaire';
// set page info
$this->set('page', 
'forms');
$this->set('pageName', 
'Health Questionnaire');
// set view file

$this->render('/fitness_lab/forms/health_questionnaire.pdf');
}// end health_questionnaire()

Im not using a mode since the content is static.

In my views folder I have fitness_lab/forms.

My link in fitness_lab/forms/index looks like this


image('/img/logos/pdficon_small.gif', 
array('class' =>
'pdficon')); ?>

If it helps heres a url to the page im working on.

http://www.networkfitness.com/nf_dev/fitness_lab/forms/

You can see that when you click on the download a form link that the
url displays correctly but the page does not render the pdf file.

Thanks!

view pdf files?

2009-02-08 Thread justclint

Everything I've seen doing a search on google and in this group seems
to be based on converting files/views to pdf.

I have pdf files that I just need to link to. I keep getting this
parse error when I click on the link to the pdf file:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting T_FUNCTION in /
data/15/1/101/96/1753748/user/1895223/htdocs/nf_dev/app/error.php on

Is there a way to just link to existing pdf files?

Browser Detection?

2009-02-08 Thread justclint

I was hoping someone could tell me what the best solution is to do
browser detection in cake. Via js or php? Is there a helper for this?

All I need to do is check the browser to see if it is ie 6 or older so
I can send them to an "update your browser" page.

Ive googled this and Im not finding much.

Thanks in advance!

acl - book 10.3.7 -setting up permissions - baking error

2008-12-27 Thread justclint

So I thought I got the acl up and running smoothly and it does work to
some degree but now that Im testing with various users of different
categories I noticed my permissions aren't working as suspected.

I did have a problem with one of the steps in the acl tutorial (pg.
10.3.7: permissions) which I just kind of bypassed but I believe this
might be why its not working properly.

** 1 ** So the first step here is to go to shell and type "cake acl
grant $aroAlias $acoAlias [create|read|update|delete|'*']" but the
console keeps throwing back an error saying that "read is not an
internal or external function". If I delete read it gives me the same
error for the next unit like "update is not an internal or external
function". The directions say instead of using console you can use Acl
component by adding "$this->Acl->allow($aroAlias, $acoAlias);" but Im
not sure where to put it and im not sure if its something you would
leave in the code permanently or is it just so you can run it that one
time.

** 2 ** In the 2nd step your supposed to run the function initDB()
which has allow/deny statements. After running you are supposed to see
a bunch of "1's" and "0's" in the aros_acos table. After running this
function and checking the table, the table has a bunch of "1's" and
"-1's". Is this normal or is my table totally jacked?

Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Re: acl public access

2008-12-27 Thread justclint

So I think I got this working as intended. I added the following to
all my controllers to allow public access:

function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allowedActions = array('*');
}// end beforeFilter()

Now I can just use the Auth component to show only certain things on a
page. But I must admit, Im scratching my head and laughing at myself
wondering if due to what Im trying to do, if creating an ACL was what
I really needed in the first place. Good news is I definitely learned
a crap load and a bunch of details about cake came clear while
building this.

Anyhow, since I got the ACL working I figure Ill keep it but can
anyone please tell me if what Ive done above (adding the beforeFilter
function to all controllers) is a good or at least reasonable solution
for what Im trying to do or is this something I should not be doing
since its, well kinda defeating the purpose of an ACL.

Thanks!

acl public access

2008-12-26 Thread justclint

Well first off, I friggin love cake. I finally got my ACL up and
running last night. So now I'm implementing it over to my already
built site and everything is working well. I am having a little issue
though and I believe it has to do with this code in my app controller.

function beforeFilter() {
//Configure AuthComponent
$this->Auth->actionPath = 'controllers/';
$this->Auth->authorize = 'actions';
$this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users', 
'action'
=> 'login');
$this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login');
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'posts', 
'action'
=> 'add');
$this->Auth->allowedActions = array('display', 'index');
}// end beforeFilter

I'm trying to figure out how I declare what is public. Per code above
the actionPath is all controllers so controllers are on lockdown and
we allow users based on actions and then by default any actions
"display or index" can be viewed.

For my site the whole site is public. The ACL comes in based on
membership. So lets say you are a member you would still be accessing
public pages like products for example but since you are a logged in
member you would see a cheaper price for the product. The only section
per say that I can think of that I want to be totally on lockdown is
the users account page. In future I may add sections specifically for
them but I  dont have dedicated areas just yet for members.

So basically to refine my question, how do I seperate public and
private access without declaring every single public action in $this-
>Auth->allowedActions = array('display', 'index');

Oh and one other question that Ive been trying to figure out. Is it
possible to put subfolders in the controllers forlders or is it
something you should not do or maybe can do based on certain
scenarios.

Thanks!!!

Simple ACL tutorial ?'s

2008-12-25 Thread justclint

Im setting up my first acl app. Ive tried a number of tutorials but
all of them seem to have gaps in between instructions leaving me at a
deadend.

I figure Im just going to use the Simple ACL tutorial at:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/641/Simple-Acl-controlled-Application

But I run into the same problems.

Ive installed a fresh copy of cake 1.2. Ive created my tables per the
tutorial. Heres where I get stuck though. The tutorial like all others
Ive dealt with skip steps here. The tutorial says at this point:

"Use cake bake to quickly create your models, controllers, and views.
Leave out admin routing for now, this is a complicated enough subject
without them. Also be sure not to add either the Acl or Auth
Components to any of your controllers as you are baking them. We'll be
doing that soon enough. You should now have models, controllers, and
baked views for your users, groups, posts and widgets."

1. My question here is, when I go into my console to build these mvc's
for the users, groups, posts, and widgets there are many options that
the console asks you. So where is the info on how exactly I should set
up my mvc's for this tutorial? For the controller should I build
controller interactively?, include class methods?, use scaffolding?,
etcIn my models should I add validation fields? define model
association: has many, belongs to, etc

On the following page of the tutorial it states:

"We now have a functioning CRUD application. Bake should have setup
all the relations we need, if not add them in now. "

2. So here it says we now have a functioning CRUD application. So I
guess that means in my 1st question I should of created my controllers
with class methods? Anyway the part that says "Bake should have setup
all the relations we need, if not add them in now." is stumping me. So
what are these relations? is this referring to the has many, belongs
to associations? If so, what are the relations this tutorial wants me
to setup. Which tables belong to many and which ones are hbabt?

After reading through this google group I had found some people saying
they followed this tutorial and got it up and running with no problem.
I do acknowledge that it is my level of cake experience (or lack of I
should say) that makes this confusing for me. But any help on this
would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Re: Improved Captcha Component not validating

2008-12-21 Thread justclint

I forgot to add my code.

my controller: the send() is for my email on contact form and the
captcha() and add() are from the component.
Obviously Im trying to get captcha to validate to allow email send.

function send() {

$this->Contact->set($this->data);
$this->Email->template = 'email/contact'; // this will use
contact_html.ctp
$this->Email->from = $this->data['Contact']['Email'];
$this->Email->fromName = 'Web Inquiry';
$this->Email->to = 'justcl...@gmail.com';
//$this->Email->cc = 'justcl...@gmail.com';
$this->Email->subject = 'Network Fintess - Contact Request';

$result = $this->Email->send();

$this->redirect('thankyou');
exit();

}// end send()

function captcha() {

$this->Captcha->show();

}// end captcha()

function add() {
if (!empty($this->data) && $this->Captcha->protect()) {
$this->ModelName->save($this->data);
}

}// end add()
-
my form: the action is going to send. I believe this may be problem
because as some point on submit it
needs to check captcha but Im just not getting how to tie it all
together.
-
create(array('class' => 'contact', 'type' =>
'post', 'action' => 'send')); ?>

Contact Info


label('Name:'); ?>
input('Name', array('div' => false,

label('Email:'); ?>
input('Email', array('div' => false,

Improved Captcha Component not validating

2008-12-21 Thread justclint

Ive just gone throught the Improved Captcha Component and it was super
easy to install. The only problem Im having is that it doesnt seem to
be validating. If i hit submit on my form it gets submitted whether
captcha input is correct or not.

The directions state the following:

"First in the controller you want to implement it into add the
component then create a function called captcha and and in the
following and on the form you want to protect where it checks if the
data is empty just add "&& $this->Captcha->protect()". That will
return a boolean back."

Im a bit confused about this part: && $this->Captcha->protect()

It seems to reside in the add() function (default code) and Ive tried
putting it into the caption function as well as in my form as
directions state above but just cant get it to work.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks!

But this simple solution is a significant help to me so thanks again!

exclude form helper markup?

2008-12-21 Thread justclint

I notice when I use the form helper like:

input('Email'); ?>

it keeps resulting with an added div tag around it like so:

Email

Is there a way to prevent the form adding its own markup?

Also, I notice cakephp automatically gives the input name the name of
the label. But say I want my label and input name to be different. How
do I accomplish this?

For example, I would like my label to be Email: (with :) but I dont
want the : in my input name.

Thanks!

Hi Alexander, well I just couldn't get away from the computer last
night. It was driving me nuts. I found out what my problem was and it
was being caused in my routes.php.

Thanks!

basic email via contact form

2008-12-20 Thread justclint

Hello all, I am building my first site with cakephp and Im now putting
together a simple contact form for the site but Im running into
problems. Ideally Id like to use phpmailer. But I cant find much info
on setting this vendor up in the framework.

Ive been to http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/sending-email-with-phpmailer
but didnt help much and I cant find any tutorials online on setting
this up.

What I have so far is the method explained in the link above. I guess
I want to know how you tie it all together. On my contact form, how do
I tell it to go and send the email? Every time I hit submit it tells
me either it cant find the controller (because it keeps looking for
plural name -which my controller is singular-static page) or if I
change the action in the form then it cant find the view.

Im running cake 1.2 and php5.

My current code receiving this error is as follows:
-
ERROR
-
Missing View
Error: The view for ContactController::display() was not found.
Error: Confirm you have created the file: /nfs/c03/h03/mnt/53057/
domains/dzinewize.com/html/client_dev/network_fitness_cake/app/views/
contact/send.ctp
Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app/views/
errors/missing_view.ctp

--
CODE
--
Controller: (with no model associated)
contact_controller.php @path: app/controllers/

set('site_section', 'sect-contact');
$this->set('sect_title', 'Contact : ');
$this->layout = 'content';
$path = func_get_args();
if (!count($path)) {
$this->redirect('/');
}
$count = count($path);
$page = $subpage = $title = null;
if (!empty($path[0])) {
$page = $path[0];
}
if (!empty($path[1])) {
$subpage = $path[1];
}
if (!empty($path[$count - 1])) {
$title = Inflector::humanize($path[$count - 1]);
}
$this->set(compact('page', 'subpage', 'title'));
$this->render(join('/', $path));

}// end display()

function send() {

$this->set('data', $data);
$this->Email->to = 'justcl...@dzinewize.com';
$this->Email->subject = 'my test email';

$result = $this->Email->send();


  }// end send()


}
?>


View: (the form)
contact.php @path: app/views/contact/

create(array('Contact', 'type' => 'post',
'action' => 'send')); ?>

Contact Info

input('Name', array('type' => 'text',
'name' => 'name')); ?>
input('Email'); ?>
input('Phone'); ?>

Message

textArea
('message'); ?>




submit('Send Message'); ?>


end(); ?>


And then I have the component email.php with the contents as described
in the link above.

Ive been trying to figure this out for about 3 days now and Im not
finding any additional helpful info on the web so any help on getting
this simple send mail function is greatly appreciated.

If supplying a link to the contact form helps, then just let me know
and Ill email it your way.

Thanks guys!

Hannibal, I just saw the info on the CMS your working on, NeutrinoCMS.

Re: basic site concept

2008-11-06 Thread justclint

Thank you so much Anja and dr. Hannibal. This helps me very much. As
you described dr. Hannibal your not sure why I would want many apps
for what Im doing and nor do I. So having you confirm that I can do
all this in a single cake folder is a relief.

So I guess than its true to say that I can have one app folder and I
can just keep adding as many controllers, models and views as I
please.

I really do appreciate your help here.

Thanks again!

basic site concept

2008-11-05 Thread justclint

Hello all, thanks for having this group available for newbies like
myself. I have a pretty basic question that Im having a very difficult
time finding an answer on. I've done google searches, read the cakephp
manual and I am also reading the book "Beginning CakePHP" by David
Golding which is a great book by the way.

Any way I've never used a framework before and Im totally new to the
MVC concept. Ive done a couple tutorials such as the blog and also a
to-do list. I have a site I will be converting over to cakephp and
want to make sure I am using best practices and that I understand the
basic concept.

So my question is; if Im building a whole website, is the whole
website a "cakephp app" or does my whole website have many "cakephp
apps"?

Through my reading it seems every tutorial is based on just a piece of
a website (ie: blog) and every tutorial required a new cake folder
with the usual contents (app, controllers, views, webroot etc.).

I need to make a single typical website with the usual stuff like
products section, support section with search/download functionality
and contact/request forms.

Im not sure if each one of these things are supposed to be different
apps or if the whole site is in one app. It seems a bit cumbersome to
keep adding cake folders over and over on a single site but nothing
Ive read says otherwise. Also, If you are supposed to keep adding cake
folder after cake folder you would endup with multiple webroot folders
which also kinda of boggles my mind.

Your help is greatly appreciated and I do apologize for having such a
primitive question but I have no where else to go but here.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Clint
