As far as i know there is no such thing in CakePHP. The closest thing
I could imagine is to use a afterFind-callback to inject the
"attribute" to the returned array...

I really don't think you offended anyone unless you got someone in a
"delicate mood". I thought the sudden change of subject was pretty funny!!

This is like taking thread hijacking to a new level! Matt, didn't you just
start a different thread on a totally different subject to what
"trustfundbaby" was asking about?

Re: How do you specify custom properties in a CakePHP model?

[mattcamuto]

hi sam

i think i made things even more confusing in my post.

I am just ttrying to accomplish plain ajax in multiple pages.

Suppose I have 3 pages

a.html
b.html
c.html

And they all in some form have an 'Article' model in them.

I want to rate the article (i.e. /Article/rate//) 
for instance on any of these pages and then update a DIV on any of those 
pages.

HOWEVER suppose in my cake controller

ArticlesController() {

function rate() {
   ///...
   /// 
   $this->set('rating',$rating);
}
}

If i use this using ajax helpers it complains that I have no view file 
rate.ctp. What I want to do is have this method just return so it can be 
used in any ajax/html context it is used. The only examples I have seen 
have something like this:

function rate() {
   ///...
   /// 
   $this->set('rating',$rating);
   $this->render('index'); // To foward back to the page it came from
}

which seems kludgy.. Maybe I should use a component that can be called 
from anywhere instead of the controller?!?!

thanks

Re: How do you specify custom properties in a CakePHP model?

[Sam Sherlock]

As I understand the example of virtual attributes in rails (that link being
the only basis of info)  it concats two fields depending on certain things
(eg spaces in the names)

so virtual attributes perform set routines on data under certain
circumstances.   without know what you want these *custom properties* to
*do* and without knowing the ins and outs of rails its really hard to say.

I believe that whatever your trying to accomplish can be achieved with cake
but unless you explain what your trying to achieve any answer may well be
misleading.

so what are you trying to accomplish?

Re: How do you specify custom properties in a CakePHP model?

[trustfundbaby]

At the risk of repeating myself, I am looking for something that works
the same way as virtual attributes in rails.

Re: How do you specify custom properties in a CakePHP model?

[trustfundbaby]

Thanks for that.
I'll have to look into it further, but I'm hoping it works the same
way as virtual attributes in Rails.

Re: How do you specify custom properties in a CakePHP model?

[Sam Sherlock]

models have behaviours

controller have components

and views have helpers

also you can add a function to the appmodel and then all models have access
to it
there is an example that shows this on the link to book you posted.

Re: How do you specify custom properties in a CakePHP model?

[RichardAtHome]

A CakePHP Model is just a PHP class. You can still use all of PHP's
class abilities.

for example:

class MyModel extends AppModel {

   var $myCustomPropery = "w00t!";

}

in controller:

echo $this->MyModel->myCustomProperty;

I'm trying to do this, but there is no sample code any where that
shows how its done, can someone point me in the right direction?
