Re: Some Issues: multiple views on one page and help with javascript
Hi :) thank you both for your advice, it helped me to get going and so far I was able to implement the design I had in mind using elements and ajax. Should I encounter more difficulties, I will post them here. Oh and bs28723: No worries that you might've been too basic, I'm always glad for any advice, especially since I'm just beginning to learn Cake :) Timo -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Some Issues: multiple views on one page and help with javascript
I don't know a lot about AJAX - Need to learn :-)
What I am doing with the helper, is that I was finding that I was
repeating code in multiple views or several times in a single view to
get ready to call an element. So, I just moved this common code from
the view to a helper, then made a single to call to the helper.
In Controller
public $helpers = array ('Html', 'Form', 'Session', 'Address');
In view
$title = "Shipping Address";
Address->makeAddressElements($organization); ?>
In Helper
public function makeAddressElements($organization) {
// some details removed
$addresses =
$this->requestAction('addresses/getByOrg/'.$organization['id']);
foreach ($addresses as $address) {
$title = "Not Used Address";
if ($organization['ship_address_id'] ==
$address['Address']['id'])
$title = "Shipping Address";
if ($organization['bill_address_id'] ==
$address['Address']['id'])
$title = "Billing Address";
$html .= $this->_View->element('address', array("addr" =>
$address['Address'], "title" => $title));
}
return $html;
}
In the Helper in order to call an element that is associated with a
view, you need to use the call $this->_View->element(). This will
used the attached view to help render the element. This is not well
documented, but seems to be the way other helpers do this.
You may not need to do this since you are doing Ajax. You may be able
to load all this stuff in the beginning and have javascript hide and
display the details as needed.
As for the controller function mapping to views, while Cakephp will
defualt create add / index / edit / view functions and views, you are
not required to use them all. If you want to have everything displayed
and managed for the controller thru the view function and the view view,
I don't think this is a problem. You could then use requestAction, or a
bunch of set commands to pass information to the view.
This is where my Ajax knowledge puts me on thin ice, but I think you can
create Ajax or javascript functions that can call other functions in the
controller, like add or edit, and return information that you updated a
portion of the screen, so that you don't have to render the entire page.
I guess the way I would look at this is that the view is the webpage.
If you want everything to be processed in a single page, with pop outs,
etc. then you only need one view. It may be complicated, but if you are
familiar doing this with just PHP and Ajax then it should be fine. The
controller is where all the business logic is run. So this can be
organized based on how you want to process the data.
Not sure if I am getting to basic here, or if this answers your question
about views.

I see how elements can be used for what I am trying to do. I tried the
simple example from the link you provided, so now I can populate
multiple ares of one page with different views - that's great!
What I don't quite grasp is the usefulness of adding a helper as you
mentioned in your last paragraph. So basically the helper would get
all the data for my elements instead of me calling requestAction
multiple times?
I was told that AJAX can be used to put content into element areas
(via requestAction, too?), e.g. I have my slideout visible which shows
a data entry, then, with my table still visible in the main content
area, I choose edit on a different entry and instead of loading the
page anew, the slideout element loads new content. How would one go
about this task? A simple example would be enough to get me started,
since I cannot find any useful ones, e.g. a button that triggers an
element to be filled with a different view. I am aware of the .load
function in JQuery ( http://api.jquery.com/load/ ), but that does not
explain how to include such functionality in a CakePhp environment.
Can I simply use something like 'controllername/add' as url parameter
for load?
I use it in this way:
$("#someelement").load("/controller/action div.index");
loads html content of div.index in #someelement
You can handle it better with $.post / $.get handling the html response
$.get('controller/action', function(html){
var myHtml = $(html);
$("#something").replace( myHtml.find("#something").html() );
});
This works faster if you create an empty layout and print only the
$content_for_layout, I use it with a custom extension
eg. controlller/index.dhtml give me only the action response, without
the whole layout code around.
As I see it, one issue remains despite the element solution (which
might result from my limited Cake knowledge) -
...
Is there a way to put for example the rendered view of
"View/Company/add.ctp" into an element?
...
I suggest you to look at the new -cool- templating system (from 2.1 I think)

Can I simply use something like 'controllername/add' as url parameter for load? As I see it, one issue remains despite the element solution (which might result from my limited Cake knowledge) - concrete example: The application has tables for companies, users and posts, each table and corresponding controller has index / add / view(show the data) / edit views. Index is displayed in the main area, the other views are supposed to be displayed in the slideout. Would I not need many different element specifications depending a) on the chosen table b) the chosen option (add / edit / etc) ? Is there a way to put for example the rendered view of "View/Company/add.ctp" into an element? Because as far as I understand requestAction, I can only get the data provided by the controller (which makes sense due to the MVC pattern) and this data still has to be echoed and styled. And that is the problem since there is not a common style for add / edit / view (add and edit would have inputs for data values, view would use labels). My thought would be to put those options into one element and control which style is used by a parameter given to the element, I just want to know if that is viable or if there is another, better way to do this. I hope that was somewhat intelligible :) Many thanks in advance for any helpful advice Timo -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Some Issues: multiple views on one page and help with javascript
I will try to help with the view issue.
First look at the 2.x View Template section
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views.html
And look into Extending Views. This will allow you to break up the
view. You create a frame work for a controller, then the view can have
different content in the main section depending on the function.
I would then look at each of these areas that slide in and out might be
a good fit for an Element. (see same doc page).
You can pass parameters to them to customize them. I use elements for
addresses. I have shipping, billing & other address. It formats the
address. I pass a title to element to be displayed by element.
you can use the requestAction function in the Elements to get data from
another controller function. See sample code in same documentation page
under elements.
This way you have a few main functions and views to go with them. Then
you have the elements, that may use other functions in the controller or
possibly other controllers, to get data. You could do this for a
dashboard, or to fill these slide outs that you describe.
You may want to consider adding a Helper to get some of this data for
the view, if you think you may want the data on multiple views. The
helper can make calls via requestAction to this controller, or possibly
other controllers to get some data, that can be formatted by the
elements for the view.

Some Issues: multiple views on one page and help with javascript
Hello everybody,
since I am fairly new to CakePhp and since my research has not yielded any
definitive results concerning my specific problem so far, I figured the
best thing to do would be to ask here. :)
Bear with me, this is going to be rather elaborate, I fear...
I'm creating an application with CakePhp (2.1) and Javascript / JQuery, one
basic functionality is that table entries can be viewed in different ways,
to which I will come in a moment. My main content area consists of 2 sub
divisions, one is the actual main content, the other is a horizontally
sliding area which can be toggled on and off (in the following text
referred to as "accordion"). I will attach an image at the end of the post
to exemplify what I mean.
The afore mentioned different views ( / edits / adds) are:
*1. Standard view* would be in accordion which is hidden until a table
entry is chosen, once the view is triggered, the area is supposed to slide
from the right side into the screen and overlap the underlying table, the
area can be toggled on and off. Basically it acts as a horizontal accordion
window, the user is able to quickly manipulate table entries, hide the
entry to look something up in the table, and show the entry again to
continue whatever he was doing before.
*2. Fullscreen view *is supposed to be rendered in the actual main content
area, in this view the table is transferred to the accordion, basically
table and table entry swap positions.
Another aspect of the application is that table entries can be stored in
"favourites" or "clipboard", those two are small windows which can be shown
on any page of the application and which are also part of the start page.
Now that I have started to try to implement this layout, I have encountered
some problems, which might result from me being a beginner in CakePhp.
After baking controllers and models via the console, I created the index
view for one controller ("companies") and went on to the "add" view for
this controller. Naive as I was I simply put the generated "add" view code
in the accordion div and left the table (index view) code in the main area
div which led to errors. So if I understand this correctly, I cannot simply
fill 2 divs with different view contents from only one query, which makes
sense. My research led me to the "elements" functionality of cake, though I
could only find the cookbook entry for 1.3 (
http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/view/1081/Elements ).
Please tell me whether this will help me with my problem, or if there is a
better, simple solution for what I am trying to do. (I might have to fill
not only the accordion and the main content area with data entries, but
also the "favourites" and "clipboard" area once the user clicks the button
to show those). I also searched for a way to "fetch" multiple content in my
default layout like
echo $this->fetch('content');
echo $this->fetch('accordion');
but I did not find anything. So this is my first issue. A second one:
When the user clicks on a table entry in the table, an option menu is shown
at the mouse position from which the user can choose to edit, delete or
view the clicked entry. This option menu is also shown when the user clicks
on an entry in the favourites or clipboard area. Is there a way to combine
PHP and Javascript to determine, which kind of data is clicked (e.g. which
controller must be used)?
And furthermore, is there a way to integrate (cake)php in code in
javascript?
Example:
$('#listEditButton').click(function(){
window.location.href="companyEdit.html";
});
Instead of window.location.href="companyEdit.html"; the cakephp edit view
for the correct controller should be triggered.
*Breathes deeply* Excuse my excessive question, but I just started with
CakePhp (did research, went through the blog tutorial - which as far as I
can tell does not cover what I need for my application), maybe I even
missed some CakePhp functionalities which provide exactly what I am looking
for.
To sum it up:
*1. Multiple Views on one page: *How does one for example show the index
view AND the view of one entry of a controller on a single page with
CakePhp.
*2. Javascript and CakePhp: *How do you use CakePhp view "calls" in
javascript, is this even possible, how would one approach the above problem
with the option menu (if there is any way apart from separate option menus
for all pages AND for "favourites" and "clipboard").
If you have read all the above - Thank you very much! I would have put this
in caps but that is just hurting for the eyes. I hope someone can help me
and put me on the right way to what I am trying to do :)
Kindest regards
Timo

Re: multiple views or one massive view
I think it should be something like this:
in your views create the views that you need, ex: game1.ctp,
game2.ctp, etc...
in controller:
if($var==1) $this->render('game1');
if($var==2) $this->render('game2');
etc...

multiple views or one massive view
So I am working on a site that would display characters from several different games, many of which share the same types of attributes but just call them differently. I have a variable setup to tell me which game we are currently dealing with so my question is this, do I just have the view contain multiple if statements and set it up like a large switch, or is it possible to have the controller call a different view depending on that variable as would be my preference.

Re: render multiple views within single layout
See the CakePHP book regarding elements and their usage:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/97/Elements
Use Elements to present parts of the interface, that can be used in
more than one page/view.
So if your main action is "upload_photos", then in your
"upload_photos" view, you can invoke an element named "edit_progress"
and thus present both of your parts.
Enjoy,
John

Re: Struggeling with MVC and multiple views
Thanks for your response, however I don't think this solves the acl
part of it, e.g. i would like to archive the following setup;
main index page containing three elements, all with its own acl
management;
->Login form
->If user is logged in show logout view (containing username +
link), otherwise display standard login form.
->Add form
->If user is logged in and allowed to add, show add form, otherwise
display 'not able to edit message'
->View post table
->Always display the last 10 posts.
Does this mean I have to include access managements from within the
templates or can I control this on the controller level?
Thanks in advanced,
Reinder

What I usually do for my forms is to put them in an element. So, for
Post model, I'd have in views/posts/add.ctp a line with
$this->element('posts/form'). And the file
views/elements/posts/form.ctp includes all of the logic for creating
the form, including whether to show an add or edit form, stuff for
admins only, etc.
switch ($this->params['action'])
{
case 'edit':
echo $form->create('Post', array('action' => 'edit'));
echo $form->hidden('Post.id');
echo $form->hidden('Post.user_id');
break;
case 'add':
default:
echo $form->create('Post', array('action' => 'add'));
echo $form->hidden('Post.user_id', array('value' => $user_id));
}
This way, you can include the form in your add or edit views, as well
as in your index view. Put a debug($this->params) in your view
somewhere to get an idea how that's set up.

Struggeling with MVC and multiple views
Hi, I seem to be struggeling with possibly something so obvious, i can't find it in the tutorials or books. Hopefully someone here is able to enlight me. I have made a good number of sites with PHP and just moved to cakephp as a mvc framework. I completed the blog and auth/acl tutorials. So far I like the speed of development, however I don't seem to grasp how to properly create a page combining multiple views, leaving the mvc framework (with auth in tact). E.g. In the blog tutorial a simple blog is created based on a model for post. This model has functions for view and add, in the blog tutorial you either view posts or add a posts. I would like to create a page that shows the last top 10 posts, AND an add form to add posts when needed, as effectively as possible. The way I ended up doing it is to change the index to display a form for the add post, linking to add, and a seperate table viewing the lasts posts. However I basically copied the code for the 'view.ctp' and add.ctp', which means dublicate code. For this reason this does not seem to be the proper way. Not only because I have dublicate code, also because the add form is now visible to everyone while 'guests' can't posts. (based on the ACL, guests should not be able to add posts, only view them) I would like to understand what best practice is to cover this in cakePHP; -> Create a page seperate from the models; -> Create elements, in this case to show and add, that calls the functions controller? -> Use requestAction to call controller functions from within those elements? If someone whould have (a link to) an example that would be highly appreciated.

Re: Multiple views
First you need to create an element that contains the HTML code to
display your data.
Store it in views/elements/.ctp
In that code(the element) you can make a call to any controller action
to get the needed data.
$this->requestAction('/controller/action') (I think)
Then you would add the code that calls the element to your main page;
$this->element('');

Multiple Views
Hi I am a newbie in Cake.
I wan to know if we can load more than one view in a single view .
To be elaborate more lets take an example of Code Igniter
in a view we can call
$this->load->view('view2'); // in a certain portion say in a row
$this->load->view('view3');/// in other row the the table.
Where view2.php , view3.php are separate view files.
Hope I am clear enough in my views :)

Re: Differing Array structures with HABTM find requests? Multiple Views?
Ok, I have had a good search on filtering HABTM and also found your earlier post on this, but haven't had any joy getting it working, is it possible you could give a slightly more detailed example? I really don't want to get beaten by this as I have pretty much everything else nailed, I've used BAKE and everything working fine, and I've redesigned all the pages, even got LDAP and multiple checkboxes working but its just these little extra bits of functionality imposed by the interface design that are causing headaches...

Differing Array structures with HABTM find requests? Multiple Views?
Hi all,
I have a page that displays a list of projects, projects can habtm
teams and vice versa, when the page first loads the $projects array is
populated via:
$this->set('projects', $this->Project->findAll());
Which returns ALL projects. Now on the page there is a select box that
posts back to the controller an id of a team in order to show projects
JUST for that team. This time the projects array is filled via:
$this->set('projects', $this->Project->Team->find(array('Team.id' =>
$_POST['team_id'])));
My problem is that these two requests return different array
structures, so my index.thtml is fine for the initial view all, but
falls over for the other request.
I have currently got around the problem by creating a second view file
and call 'render('secondview')' which is altered to accept the
different array (ie the looping etc)
What I want to know is if this is the correct way of doing this or
have I missed something fundamental?
TIA,
toby.

Re: Multiple Views for same controller?
I have approached as francky06l said. When I moved to 1.2 I found that using the builtin admin functionality of bake was very nice. It simply replecates the scaffold views and methods with your choice of prefix, in my case admin_ . So after my initial bake, I go in and strip the "public" views and leave the admin views pretty much stock.

Multiple Views for same controller?
Happy Holidays all, Just getting into Cake this week thanks to some slow holidays. I'm building a Residence Directory system and using Cake. I've built everything initially using bake. The application is coming along well thanks to some examples from the IBM site and downloaded modules on the Bakery site. So my question: I basically have 2 levels of authenticated users. I want one view for the general user. But I want a different view for admin-level users. The Views are not all that different. The admin-level user would see more fields on the list, edit, add forms. Using PHP outside a MVC framework, I would generally wrap the extra admin fields in some conditional statements and move on. But wanted to ask what the 'correct' MVC method for this would be. My apologies if this is a basic question. Regards, Paul --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

One controller action and multiple views
Hi! Just one question, can one controller action have multiple views and select any of them depending on a setting/parameter/whatever?

Re: Multiple views inside one Layout
In my opinion, a view is the visible mode of one controller... Showing more controllers in one page is responsability to layout, isn't it? Like, if I need to change the layout (what's going to appear and where in the page), I want to edit only the layout and none of views... That's because I want (and I need) to allow the web-art-designer not touching any web-programming file. But, anyway, thanks for the help.

Why not? See the info on the use of requestAction and elements listed here: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/web/frequent-discussions hth, AD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Multiple views inside one Layout
Hello people! Well. I'm programming a extreme-large portal and using Cake. I need to include several (about 6 to 8) views in a layout (including the 1st page). I can't just use the requestAction() method in the view classes, it would be very complicated... Is there some how?

Re: multiple views in one page?
Use RequestAction().
for instance let's say you have controller Registration with method
edit($step) and you want the output of controller User method
listening($cat_id)
you use to call the adress registration/edit/1
transform edit($step) in edit($step, cat_id)
inside the method use RequestAction('User/listening'.$cat_id) in
combination with set()
Look at the manual about RequestAction()

multiple views in one page?
I have a page that consists of a registration form on the left and user listing on the right. I want the registration page to be separate view or element and the user listing another separate element. How do I create two elements like that. They both have their own controllers.
