one way could be ~
set your $auth_role as a property of AppController:
class AppController {
public $auth_role;
function beforeFIlter() {
$this->auth_role = whatever();
}
}
class XController extends AppController {
function anyFunction()
if ($this->auth_role = blah) { }
}
}

Re: AuthComponent: reset session info on user->save()
That's brilliant and simple, thanks for that. I boiled it down a bit
to something that fits right into the AuthComponent, as follows. Not
sure if it is core-worthy as I am fairly new with cake, but I will use
it via a subclass of AuthComponent for now (since it looks like I will
have one anyway for other reasons)
/**
* Reloads the given field and value within in the session. If no
arguments
* are given, will read the AuthComponent::userModel and re-load the
Session
* using the result.
*
* @param string $field
* @param string $value
* @return void
*/
function refresh($field = '', $value = '') {
if (!empty($field) && !empty($value)) {
$this->Session->write($this->sessionKey .'.'. $field,
$value);
} elseif ($user =& $this->getModel()) {
$this->login($user->read(false, $this->user('id')));
}
}
cheers ~

AuthComponent: reset session info on user->save()
Is there any easy way I am missing to reset the values saved in the
session under Auth()?
For instance when a logged-in user edits their own profile, and
changes their timezone. The $model->Auth->user('timezone') is still
returning the old timezone from when they first logged in.
Have tried calling login() and startup() again to no avail, the data
structure it expects is not what I have from $this->data in the
controller.
Also found this and tried something similar, but seems a bit kludgey.
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/b1e1012e5dfe112a/2fdd09f820a8bcd9?lnk=gst&q=AuthComponent#2fdd09f820a8bcd9
can I propose/offer a method like $model->Auth->reload($this->data)
that would merge the existing stuff under Auth->sessionKey with the
passed array?

DB down, don't panic
I have a cake app on a server on which the database (mysql) has been going down every couple weeks or so. I think I fixed that problem with mysql, but here is the small problem I have with cake: with Config.debug=0 cake seems to silently ignore the fact there is no database. This makes for some strange behavior - pages aren't populated with content, menus are empty, searches return nothing. with Config.debug=1 then you get a lot of WARNING this and that and then a message about "table not found" either way, my poor client gets very anxious when they see this and sends me emails in ALL CAPS So is there a way, maybe just in my default layout view, to detect if there is no valid DB connection and then display an message along the lines of: http://www.damninteresting.net/content/tech_diff.jpg thanks guys. -Sam --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

this is very cool. So this calls $CategoryController-

Nice! I will have to try that at some pint.

Well a transaction is good and useful, but it only contains writes, so
it still allows Thread B to come along and read the old position
values the instant before Thread A makes its UPDATEs. Then as Thread B
finishes its UPDATEs based on the now out-of-date values, it screws
things up.
Of course this is super rare and may take millions of tries. My
current app has 5 list items and one administrator, so not much of a
worry. But if you have a lot of concurrent users then it could
eventually happen.

I think you are describing a classic race condition.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition
A problem for sure, the list ordering may run perfectly for years and
then blow up one day while you are on vacation.
I don't think you will be able to fix it with LOCK TABLES in mySQL.
Hopefully you are using InnoDB anyway and it becomes irrelevant. LOCK
TABLES can't prevent Thread B from reading the table, which is what
you need to do.
In mySQL maybe you can try GET_LOCK()
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/miscellaneous-functions.html#function_get-lock
So run "SELECT GET_LOCK('L1',10)" before you proceed. If Thread B
comes along and needs to wait until Thread A is finished doing it's
business, then it will (i think ---haven't tested)
how then to make it DB-agnostic is another issue. Anyone?
have fun

But last night I figured out that I was calling it wrong from the controller, guessing from the function def., like this: $this->Project->moveUp($this->Project, $id); which of course is seriously wrong. First time using a behavior in Cake so I didn't know how to call it (and yes I did search and read). So your code is probably OK, may just need a line in the comments to show future noobs how to call it properly? $this->Project->moveUp($id); I know it is sometimes hard to understand how noobs can be so stupid, but that's just how it is ;) cheers, Sam --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: behavior acts_as_list
look, thanks for the finger wagging and challenge to a sword fight but I'll pass. I did find the thread and the code you linked to a long time ago. I rejected it because the comments mentioned MPTT, which again I don't need, plus it is totally incomprehensible to me. I tried the grigri stuff too but it didn't quite work. In any case I did also find this which is almost working and is more clear: http://bin.cakephp.org/saved/21838 I am new to Cake and expected this to be in Bakery, so when it wasn't I thought I would ask if there was any progress I was missing, besides these heaps of code in pastebin which I didn't understand.

behavior acts_as_list
hey folks, I need something like acts_as_list in RoR - I found some old threads on here where people were mentioning working on it for 1.2. So has anyone made any progress on it? I have a basic version implemented as a method reorder() of my model. But I'd like to get a more robust behavior if it is out there. If not, I will be glad to contribute if possible thanks Sam --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

SOLVED Re: cake is ignoring my hasMany/belongsTo (noob)
sorry folks I had model/project.php named as model/projects.php - I finally realized Cake was ignoring the whole thing, without complaining.

cake is ignoring my hasMany/belongsTo (noob)
I am starting out with Cake after messing with RoR for a while. I
jumped right in with a project where 'ArtWorks' are organized into
'Projects'. I wrote it all thusly:
===
class Project extends AppModel
{
var $hasMany = array('PubWorks' => array('className' => 'ArtWork',
'foreignKey'=> 'project_id',
'dependent' => true,
'exclusive' => false));
}
-
class ArtWork extends AppModel
{
var $belongsTo = array('Project' =>
array('className' => 'Project',
'foreignKey' => 'project_id'
)
);
}
class ProjectsController extends AppController
{
function show($id)
{
$w = $this->Project->read();
print "DEBUG: at line " . __LINE__ . ' of ' . __FILE__ .
"\n";
print_r($w);
print '';
}
}
=
I have set up the DB correctly with FKs using mySQL InnoDB. And
entered some sample data. But when I call http://localhost/projects/show/2
I get the debug dump of:
DEBUG: at line 8 of /xxx/cake_1.2.0.6311-beta/app/controllers/
projects_controller.php
Array
(
[Project] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[name] => War Room
[begin_date] => -00-00
)
)
=
no sign of the ArtWorks belonging to the Project. The SQL dumps show
the artworks table was never queried. I am out of ideas, according to
the manual this should work right? What am I missing?
thanks
Sam
