Re: Custom tags.php not working in 1.2
Still curious about this - using custom tags in 1.2 - is it possible, and what format is it looking for? It looks like tags.php with a $tags array merging with the $tags in HTML helper. Is this correct? Does it load by default and check for custom tags?

Re: R: Menu from database
Just a 'second thanks' as LSL said. I was looking for this same
solution (seems others are too, in other threads) - and this seems to
be the best solution/placement to get the desired effect. Seems simple
now that I look at it.

Re: Using multiple databases with Cake
Nate,
Thanks for the code sample. I am glad I was wrong in this instance,
this proves to be very helpful.
I apologize for not trying the earlier example - not sure why I
bypassed it last time I read this thread.
Peace,
Nate

Re: Using multiple databases with Cake
Grant, I would be interested in finding out how you accomplish this (not to hijack the topic)? Any code examples? I don't doubt you are right - I just haven't found a solution that would let me manage the application between 2 databases. For instance, in a recent application (that already had data) they had a database 'users' that housed all user information, profile, emails, addresses, etc. Then there was another database just for news, events, reviews, etc. Inside of the second database were the relationships to the users in the first database. So I would need to manage a User (from the user database) who has many Reviews (from the content database). I don't need to switch between databases - I want to manage two simultaneously. I know you can set $useDbConfig, but I have tried using that and it doesn't seem to recognize the relationships between two databases. I hope I am incorrect - as I would love to find a solution for this.

Re: Using multiple databases with Cake
If you are looking to actually use both databases, I don't think this is possible with cake. The options others are giving you are to switch between development/production/etc databases. Are you looking to use 2 together throughout the application, or just switch between two? I had an issue where I had 2 databases - and tables in each were linked to each other. This wouldn't work for Cake (at least to my knowledge). Hope that helps...

Re: Assigning variables to default layout with PagesController

Assigning variables to default layout with PagesController
I have a project I am working on where I have several static pages
that use the default layout. This is not an issue. However, I have the
default layout broken into several elements. Some of these elements
require getting data from a database.
I checked other threads here, as well as cakephp.org, but maybe I was
searching for the wrong things (I apologize if this is in another
thread somewhere - point me in the right direction if so). I am not
confident that my solution was the best way to achieve the task at
hand. Here is how I got it to work:
1. I copied pages_controller.php and placed it into my controllers
folder.
2. I created 2 functions to retrieve featured links and shows ('Link'
and 'Show' models) in app_controller (as they need to be available on
all pages).
3. I used beforeRender in my app_controller to set the variables I
needed (and limited in SQL).
4. In my default.ctp, I rendered the element with $this-
>renderElement('shows', array('layoutShows, $layoutShows).
$layoutShows was the variable I set in my app_controller beforeRender
(the other is $layoutLinks).
5. I had to edit one line in the pages_controller that I placed in the
controllers directory, and this was the $uses. I had to add 'Link' and
'Show' into the array. pages_controller extends app_controller, but in
the child class (pages_controller) it sets $uses = null, which would
effectively wipe out what I set in the app_controller.
Some have said use a component, but I don't feel this is the best
option as a component should be used to alter data in the controller
that was retrieved from a model - not work (or query) a model
directly.
Would this be the best route to achieve the task at hand when dealing
with several static pages - and the rest which have controllers/
models?
Thanks in advance for any help

Re: Custom tags.php not working in 1.2
I am now having the same issue in 1.2 trying to create custom tags. The previous loadConfig file used to parse an ini file. Now, it looks to be including a tags.php file. Is it now looking for a tags array or still an ini format? Also, does it need to be manually loaded in custom helpers?

Question about $this->redirect()
In 1.1 you were required to call exit() after your redirect. This was
not a problem, but looking at the API for 1.2 - you can specify the
exit call within the function:
function redirect($url, $status = null, $exit = false)
I also like that you can specify a status code as well. However, I
have a question about how it works with the status code. For instance,
I have my controller calling:
$this->redirect('http://www.domain.com','301',true);
Now, I would assume that this would redirect to the domain with a 301
moved permanently (and call exit itself). However, when I telnet the
URL that calls the redirect, my 301 status code is nowhere to be
found. I get:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 20:53:34 GMT
Server: Apache
Set-Cookie: BPI=2f639fea6334d665798f12a336b1f9cd; path=/
P3P: CP="NOI ADM DEV PSAi COM NAV OUR OTRo STP IND DEM"
Location: http://www.domain.com
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
It shows 302 as the code - is there something I am missing to get this
to work properly?

Using acl.php to create the database with shared domains
My setup is a little different from the default setup for cake (1.2 nightly). I have the core cake library shared among several other domains. The structure looks like: /home/core/cake /home/domains/www.domain1.com/webroot /home/domains/www.domain2.com/webroot The core holds files/aliases I need for stats/dbadmin/scripts - along with the Cake core folder. Now, I would like to implement ACL, but running 'php acl.php initdb' will throw errors because it can't find the proper files with the changed directory structure. Should I backup the original and then edit the script to fit my needs per domain, or should I just use the SQL and create the tables/permissions myself? When running acl.php I get the following error: Warning: require(/home/domains/core//app/config/core.php): failed to open stream...on line 94 Any thoughts or ideas?

Re: How to validate a custom form?
I think it is clear. Validation rules are setup in the model. BUT - what if he was making a contact form that never wrote to the database (or even used a model) - but still needed to be validated before the email was sent? I think that is what he is saying - being able to have validation rules outside of using a model. Maybe making your validation checks manually and then marking them as invalid with invalidate(). However, validation seems to be tied into the model (even to the save function). However, not all validation needs to be saved to a database - there could be other needs (write to file, email, etc). I think that is what he is askingam I correct?
