is it worth wrapping it all up in a DB tableless model to take advantage of
validation magic and so forth?

Re: Bootstrap access to a model?

2011-01-06 Thread Miles J
Saving the routes to a file will probably be much easier and less
error prone then trying to connect to the database during the
bootstrap process. Most likely less logic required also.

Re: Bootstrap access to a model?

2011-01-06 Thread Greg Skerman
they wont be editing the php files themselves, no unless they want to..
but i'm trying to provide an option that doesn't require them to know how to
code to do it

I intended on caching the result from the DB which would be akin to
serializing an array and saving to the file system.db just seemed like a
logical place to persist it

Re: Bootstrap access to a model?

2011-01-06 Thread Miles J
I guess I still don't understand why a database is needed for this?
Are they not going to be editing the PHP files themselves?

If they aren't, then just save the "routes" as a serialized array into
the filesystem and load that everytime instead of hitting the
database.

Miles, not users, site admins.
The reason i want them to be able to define routes is so they can define
their URL structure themselves, and not have it imposed on them by the
content management system

suppose they have
/articles/1
/articles/2
/articles/3

but want them to be accessed as:

/products
/products/services
/about

...basically i want a way that they can add content to the site, and then
arrange the URLs in anyway they see fit.

But this will break reverse routing, if used. All routes must be
"connected" for reverse routing to work.

Bootstrap access to a model?

2011-01-05 Thread Greg Skerman
Hi,

So i've ditched the idea of having one controller call another. Instead,
i've decided a better approach might be to use routes, and have "custom"
routes stored in a database, added at runtime in bootstrap.php, and of
course cached.

This will allow people to define their own simple routes for site map
organization.

So, I know I can probably use App::Import('Controller', 'CustomRoutes'); in
bootstrap, and manually initialize the class, but are there any reasons why
i shouldn't do this? I'd appreciate thoughts on whether bootstrapping a
controller/model is a good thing or a bad thing.

Have at it :)
