Re: cake 1.18 - has it changed the behavior of Sessions?
I've experienced the same bug, and changing from high to medium
security seems to have solved it.
I'm doing a lot of AJAX stuff in the background, is that what is
causing it? Or this a general bug with security set to high?

I wondered if perhaps that might have something to do with my

So, I lowered CAKE_SECURITY from high to medium. That fixed the
problem. To double check, I raised it back to high, and problem
returned.
I reverted back to cake 1.17 and there was no problem both for
CAKE_SECURITY = high and low.
Anyone else experience problems withsessionvars in 1.18?
Are we supposed to do things differently now thatsessionid's are
being regenerated for CAKE_SECURITY = high?

Re: Session empty in Ajax call
The workaround I've found for this goes:
Make the Flash uploader post to /attachments/upload/(session id)
Then in attachments controller, recreate the session:
function upload($sessionId)
{
session_destroy();
session_id($sessionId);
session_start();
...
I then have to manually do any authentication checks and such.
Seems to work alright though.

Session empty in Ajax call
Hi, I'm making an Ajax call from the index page of my application to a simple controller called attachments, to a function named add(). I have a session variable called User which I can print on the index page, but which is empty in the attachments controller. If I do a pr($_SESSION) in attachments/add() all I get is the attributes 'useragent', 'time' and 'random', where I should be getting a whole host of other stuff I've stored in the session. Any idea why? It is a JavaScript + Flash widget called SWFUpload making the Ajax call, so my only thought is that it does something funny to the request that prevents Cake from initialising the session properly, but that sounds pretty far fetched. The session is definitely initialised, as a session_start() will generate an error in the log. I've looked in the $_SERVER variable and the logs but didn't find anything funny. Not sure where else to look. Any help very much appreciated! Simon --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: (Good) way of pulling data into view?
In my experience, specific problems that warrant breaking rules are a
lot rarer than many think. Are you wanting your users to be able to
edit the view files? if not, your controller calls the view files - it
knows which view file it's going to use it should know which data it
wants to receive; if so, why? and in any event I'd suggest designing
towards the same answer ;).
You're absolutely right... I think sometimes I come across as arrogant
when I'm just trying to get a discussion going :)
If you are still not convinced, what's the code in your controller
method /templates/get_items_this_month/ ? specific discussions are
more likely to give you specific answers.
The code in that function (get_items_this_month) just does a findAll
based on the function parameters. The problem was that I needed to
find a way of sending an array as a parameter. Like you said, I could
actually do that with requestAction but that would not be a great
solution.
The solution I've gone for now is to split the template up. So I've
got one THTML file (template_name.thtml) which contains some
iterations with html inside of them. I've also got a raw include file
(template_name.php) which gets included before rendering the template
file.
My include file basically builds a massive array with all the data I
need and then does:
$this-set('templateData', $templateData);
dardosordi: is this maybe what you had in mind?
I would have rather made the data file a component instead of an
include, but that gave me lots of problems with things like $this no
longer referring to the controller. Also I would have to hardcode the
array of components to include, which means that I would have to edit
the controller in order to add a template (I want to avoid this).
Enough of my ramblings. I think I've got something working fairly well
now, albeit not as elegant as it could be.

(Good) way of pulling data into view?
Hello, I have a scenario where I'm not sure how to apply Cake conventions. I'm building a reporting app where the most complex part is the report templates (views). My main question is: if I really, *really* want to make a function call to a controller from a view (even though it is against the convention), is that possible? RequestAction is proving inadequate as I need to give more complex arguments than a string. The main problem is that each template requires a different set of data which is unknown to the controller, so it has to be pulled from the view. If you have the time, continue reading, cause I could do with some advice/opinions on what the best solution for the following is: - The relevant modules for this part are the reports controller, the template controller and the various template files. The way the flow currently works is: the user requests to create a report to the reports controller. A report type is specified, i.e. /reports/create/ monthly_update The reports controller will then render the template which is a THTML file, e.g. monthly_update.thtml. Inside the template file there are various requestActions which from the templates controller requests the Items that are relevant. Items are tied to an Artist and have a type and a status. So a simple template could look like: h1Monthly update.../h1 ?php $items = $this-requestAction(/templates/get_items_this_month/ $artistId/.ITEMTYPE_NEWS.'/'.ITEMSTATUS_CONFIRMED); ? h2Confirmed news:/h2 ?php foreach($items as $item): ? p ?php echo $item['Item']['text'] ? /p ?php endforeach ? As a first draft this worked fine, but requestAction quickly becomes inadequate, as each template wants to display it's specific selection of types and statuses of items. Calling requestAction is limited as you can't send complex stuff like arrays as arguments. So is there any way I can make actual function calls to the template controller instead? Or should I be going about this in some other way? Maybe having a separate file per template specifying what data to request before rendering the thtml file? Would like to avoid this as I like the idea of having a standalone template file. Thanks, and apologies for long post...

Re: (Good) way of pulling data into view?
Why isn't all of that retrieval logic in the controller? I.e. you generate all the data you want in your controller, and you simply loop on your retrieved data in the vew. Ah, see I'm totally with you on this... I have a quite specific problem though: each type of template needs a specific set of data. So for instance the monthly update might want all items of types A, B and C with status confirmed and rating 3, whereas the weekly update might want something completely different. The controller does not know what the template needs, and I kind of need to keep it that way. I want to be able to add a new kind of report without having to add specific code for that report type in the controller. (Obviously I could for instance add a function in the reports controller for each report type, but want to keep the controller clean.) You will find that it is phenomenally slow if you requestAction all your data, and btw the second parameter for requestAction is an array - anything in it is received by the requestedAction.(but please, don't use requestAction to turn MVC into spaghetti). I didn't realise that requestAction had performance implications, thanks for pointing that out. It does indeed go against MVC a little bit. My problem is that the template (which is the view) needs to pull the data, which inherently is un-MVC. Or can anyone think of a better way of structuring the code? As I said I've considered having an include file that fetches the data, but would like to have a single file if possible.

Saving hasAndBelongsToMany with selectTag
Hi, Oddly enough Cake doesn't seem to understand that it should make an entry in the join table for HABTM related models when the foreign key isn't supplied from a multi select field... Let me try and explain that :) Say you are creating a new Item which belongs to one or many Persons, you will need a select tag with the name Person/Person. However it seems this needs to be a select tag with multiple selection enabled. This is so that the form generates the following: Array ( [Item] = Array ( [field] = Value ) [Person] = Array ( [Person] = Array ( [0] = 1 ) ) ) In other words you can't use a normal select tag, as this will generate: [Person] = Array ( [Person] = 1 ) As the value of person isn't an array here, Cake won't pick it up and won't make an entry in the join table. I haven't found a solution for this yet, I'm assuming that I'm either missing something or that I'm going to have to do some ugly hack in the controller's add/edit functions to turn the value into an array.

Re: Saving hasAndBelongsToMany with selectTag
The way I've worked around it for the moment is to add the following
to the add function in the controller:
if( !is_array($this-data['Person']['Person']) ) {
$this-data['Person']['Person'] = aa(0,
$this-data['Person']
['Person']);
}
It's not pretty, I know.

Re: Saving hasAndBelongsToMany with selectTag
Well, considering other people seem to be able to use HABTM-related models, I'd say that perhaps something is wrong in your configuration. :) The weird thing is that everything works perfectly normally as long as I use a multi-select field, i.e. a select tag that has the multiple attribute. The whole chain of saving and reading works and entries are made in the join table. All the examples I've found in the manual and online also all use multi-selects. I should point out that this is only if you use the HTML helper to generate the field - otherwise all you should need to do is add []: select name=data[Person][Person][].../select --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.
