Re: Html Helper: Better way to generate table ?

[Aday Talavera]

I've this methods in a helper:

Html->tag('table', null, array('class' => 
$table_class));
if (!empty($headers)) {
$content .= $this->Html->tag('thead', $this->Html->tableHeaders(
$headers, array('class' => $header_class)));
}
if (!empty($rows)) {
$content .= $this->Html->tag('tbody', $this->Html->tableCells(
$rows));
}
if (!empty($footer)) {
$content .= $this->Html->tag('tfoot', $this->Html->tableHeaders(
$footer, array('class' => $footer_class)));
}
$content .= $this->Html->tag('/table');
$content = $this->Html->div('table-responsive', $content);
return $content;
}
?>

And use them in views this way:

Paginator->sort('product_category_id', __('Categoría'));

// Table rows
$rows = array();
foreach ($products as $data) {
$row = array();
$row[] = $data['ProductCategory']['name'];
$row[] = $data['Product']['description'];
$row[] = $data['Product']['price'];
$rows[] = $row;
}

echo $this->Util->simple_table($headers, $rows);
?>

Feel free to use if you find them useful ;)

Hi,

Specifically I have to link to an image in the ckeditor which is at

When I use $this->Html->image() it gives me a reference at webroot/img by

Re: Html helper - stop adding prefix unless explicitly specified

[Zaky Katalan-Ezra]

I have 3 roles in my app.
To Avoid adding the prefix arrays to each url, I am using this helper
function.
View code to create musician prefix url:
echo $this->Html->link('Dashboard',
$this->RoleLink->linkRole(array('controller'=>'users','action'=>'dashboard'),array('musician')));

Helper function:
function linkRole($default=array(),$whitelist=array()) {
return array_merge($default,
array('prefix'=>array('admin','label','musician'),'admin'=>
in_array('admin', $whitelist),'label'=>in_array('label',
$whitelist),'musician'=>in_array('musician', $whitelist)));
}

I hope it will help someone or even better if someone will give me a simpler
way to do it.

Thanks... that got me thinking so I dug into the whole thing and I
found out the solution... Long story short - I overrode Router's url()
method and set it to explicitly set 'admin'=>false for urls in
prefixed routes...

Here's the code that goes into app_helper.php:

class AppHelper extends Helper {

  function url($url = null, $full = false) {
 if(isset($this->params['prefix'])){
$prefix = $this->params['prefix'];

if($this->params[$prefix] && (!isset($url[$prefix]) || !
$url[$prefix])){
   $url[$prefix] = false;
}
 }
 return parent::url($url, $full);
  }
}

So far it works like a charm... we'll see how it goes...

You could create a custom helper inheriting HtmlHelper, then use the 
joeb'sAnalogue pluginto masquerade your 
helper as core HtmlHelper. This way, you don't have to 
modify your view files

i use a custom app helper method i called defaultLink() which resets
all prefixes unless specified.
although thats maybe not exactly what you have in mind
but you could make sth similar with your own default values

either way - called via
$this->Html->defaultLink();
in any view as always

Some browsers use link rel=icon. Some browsers use link rel=shortcut icon. To 
support all browsers, you must add both lines. That's why CakePHP adds both 
lines.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[Josh]

Ahhh... passing a handle as an argument. It seems so obvious now.
Thanks

I have actually already moved things to a helper, which makes more
sense anyway. The helper I have will suit my needs fine this time
around.  It will be easy to wrap tags around the menu elements when I
get around to the CSS. Next time I will use the TreeHelper... I'm sure
it will save time.

Thanks again.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[brian]

Pass a handle to the helper to your function:

outputMenu($html, $linkTree, $level);

function outputMenu(&$html, $array, $level) {

Even better, have a look at Andy Dawson's TreeHelper. I think it's
precisely what you need for this.

http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/tree-helper-1

Let me know if you need help. I've implemented it for an
ACL-controlled menu and it works great.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[Josh]

@James - The code I have up there should produce the error. Throw the
$this-> object reference in front of the html->link() to get the
reference to a non-object error

@Martin - Are you sure you can do that with an object? I think Global
can only be applied to variables, no? I'll try it out of curiosity.

@Grigri - Ultimately, a helper makes most sense, I agree. I'll be able
to extend it with the Html class and reference the whole object from
within the function.

Thanks for all the help.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[grigri]

Hi Josh,

With that sort of code, you'd be better off putting it in your own
helper. That helper can load its own helpers, so doing links wouldn't
be a problem.

This thread: 
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/f3a8243e2226c696
deals with this approach, but for radio boxes not links; the principle
is the same though.

Cheers

Re: HTML helper in function?

[Martin Westin]

I don't know how you do it James. I just did a quick test in a view
and defining a function inline in the view will not provide that
function with access to the local variables outside the function
($html, $form...)

One ugly way of making it work is to make a global reference to the
html helper (if passing it as an argument is not to your liking).

global $htmlHelp;
$htmlHelp = $html;
function testing() {
global $htmlHelp;
debug( $htmlHelp->url('/') );
}
testing();

This is not a fix but a very ugly workaround.
Another possible workaround is to, instead of a recursive function,
try a recursive element.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[Josh]

It works fine outside of the function. I've run into this before;
helper functions not working within View functions. Are you sure
you've had that work in the past?

I think the issue is that you normally (in models, controllers,
components...) need to reference the object where the function is
located with $this-> in order to access functions accessible to the
whole object. However, View files don't typically have their own
classes and objects (excluding helpers) since most of the logic is
handled elsewhere in the app.  Therefore, you get either an unknown
method error or non-object error.

I think I will throw this all in an array -> menu helper with the Html
helper. That way I'll be able to reference the object with the link()
function.

Thanks for your help.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[JamesF]

if you have time would you mind posting a test case or example code? i
would love to see some more of the code in context just so I can
improve my understanding of the issue.

please let us know what works in the end for you it might help someone
in the future

Re: HTML helper in function?

[JamesF]

hmm im not sure if this will work but you could try in your element:

App:import('Helper', Html');

$html = new html();

does html helper work in other parts of your element outside the
function? i usually have no problems at all using $html->link() within
an element function.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[Josh]

The helpers are set and work fine. However, $html->link() does not
work when called within a function in the view.

As for where the logic is written: this is an element that appears in
all admin tools throughout the site. requestAction() would allow me to
put some of the logic in the controller, however since this is an
array used only for constructing a menu, I don't really see any
advantage to that.

Re: HTML helper in function?

[JamesF]

if your controller is set up with var $helpers = array('html') ; you
should be fine..that error is just telling you that cake can't find
HtmlHelper...is there a reason you are executing that logic in your
view and not the controller?

Do you have var $helpers = array('Html') in your controller or AppController ?

That is great that you think that, and you should go ahead and open a
ticket at https://trac.cakephp.org/  if you submit a patch even
better.  Because without opening a ticket it will likely never happen

Re: html helper issue

[soosa]

Thanks for your reply Lance!

but still this is not a good way to handle this issue, at least because the
code in the view will be ugly since some metas have been generated by cake
and others you should put them in plain hard coding!
i already did it as you said but IMHO i still think that the missing metas
must be implemented by cake to complete the bundle!

Thanks again.

Hi soosa,

The "meta" HTML helper currently supports building meta elements for
"rss", "icon", "atom", "keywords", and "description". For all the
other types of meta elements, you are better off inserting them in
plain old HTML, which is what I do for all meta elements, anyway. You
can still use dynamic elements in the meta content area, like "" to insert the current page title.

See the meta API reference here:
http://api.cakephp.org/1.2/class_html_helper.html#9489839503311b5167336ae0abdd0f8a
and the accepted types on line 200 of file html.php (http://
api.cakephp.org/1.2/html_8php-source.html#l00200).

HtmlHelper::input() is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. Most
of it's functionality is now in the FormHelper, see

Re: HTML Helper webroot not correct

[Joel Perras]

Add the line:

RewriteBase  /~user/

to the .htaccess files that already exist in your cake installation.
They should be found in app/.htaccess and app/webroot/.htaccess (this
last one may be redundant).  Assuming you haven't changed the location
of any Cake folders and files, this should solve your problem.  If you

Re: HTML Helper webroot not correct

Joel,

Thanks for the advice, but I am not sure what to set it to.

The site is currently in folder on URL http://localhost/~user/cakephptest/...

The images that the default layout includes are referencing to
http://localhost/img rather than http://localhost/~user/cakephptest/img

Can you advise what I need to put in the htaccess file?

Thanks,

Toby

Re: HTML Helper - flash support

[MrTufty]

Unlikely.

My theory on this, others may disagree, is that Flash is better added
by the theory of progressive enhancement. That's why I use jQuery plus
the jQuery Flash plugin to handle it at the client side. I'm pretty
sure other libraries have similar solutions.

You can pass a full path to the HTML helper image function.

echo $html->image( 'http://cakephp.org/img/cake.power.png',

Re: html helper: not valid xhtml

Presumably you should be using 'password' instead of 'input' anyway
for the above example?

'password' => ''

I'm using 1.1.14 stable and my standard input fields are coming out
fine... (i.e. with the />) - what code are you using in your view to
generate the offending (non XHTML)?

Re: HTML Helper UTF-8 Issue

[uzyn]

Yup meek. I did extend my own class. I do not like to hack files in
cake directory as well.

The problem here is because of MySQL integration. When data is grabbed
straight away from MySQL, it is grabbed as string of UTF-8 numbers
(with the &#). The h() function would have change the & to HTML entity
(&) instead of passing it directly to the the browser as a whole
UTF-8 character.

I hope I explained it clearly.

BTW, the 3 chinese characters mean 'interaction group'. Nothing rude
here. :)

Re: HTML Helper UTF-8 Issue

[meek]

Glad you found a solution, but I'm still confused. Maybe it's something
to do with bake which I haven't used.
if i put this in a view:



I don't get any entities.  As I wrote above, AFAIK, the
htmlspecialchars function -  the function used in 'h' - only replaces a
few entities (ampersand, corner brackets etc).

I think it's good to avoid changing anything in the cake directory, and
I think the h() function is in there for a good reason. Another way of
solving the problem might be to extend the HtmlHelper with your own
class:

http://groups.google.de/group/cake-php/browse_frm/thread/75e0d9ae6ad6b8c6/0416b42514fa2d3c?lnk=gst&q=Replacing+Html+Helper&rnum=1#0416b42514fa2d3c

- You could override the methods that are causing you problems, or add
new methods with the required functionality.

Re: HTML Helper UTF-8 Issue

[uzyn]

meek,

Thanks for your response. It is certainly what is happening to me,
using the view files generated by bake. The UTF character would be
shown as 中

The '&' character is converted to HTML entity.

This happens to me at least in $html->input and $html->selectTag. I did
not test other functions.

For input, it is fixed by simply adding the 'value' attribute, ie.:
input('Node/name', array('size' => '60',
'value'=>$this->data['Node']['name']));?>

from the original problematic:
input('Node/name', array('size' => '60');?>

Re: HTML Helper UTF-8 Issue

I have found out the cause of this problem. It's due to the use of h()
functions. Simply remove the use h() in input() and selectTag() in HTML
Helper would solve this problem.

Not sure should I submit this fix to the repository.

Re: HTML Helper UTF-8 Issue

I'm probably missing something, but are you sure this is a problem with
the html helper? I just built a form using it and had no problems with
chinese characters in field values being turned into entities (I always
use UTF-8). As far as I can see, the html helper will only
automatically turn a few characters into entities using the
'htmlspecialchars' function. In fact it's only the 'link' function that
uses 'htmlentities' - and that can be turned off as noted above.

Re: HTML helper error messages output

[MicroAngelo]

This is a functional work-around, but in answer to your original
question I would suggest that yes, this should be a feature request /
bug report, as the preferred way to do this would be to override
/cake/config/tags.ini.php with your own /app/config/tags.ini.php,
therefore $html->tagErrorMsg _should_ be modified to get its output
from tags.ini.php.

Re: HTML helper error messages output

[Mikee Freedom]

yes, unfortunately that function doesn't use any of the snippets from
the tags.ini.

as i mentioned in the previous email, you may have to write your own
helper and include a function that modifies the output of the
tagErrorMsg function or replicates it using different HTML.

i've written a form helper which wraps my own HTML around the current
html helper form functions. i did it so i could easily output form
elements with different naming conventions if i needed to. was fun to
do.

does that make sense?

Re: HTML helper error messages output

[Mikee Freedom]

morning mate,

i'm pretty sure you can access the HTML the HtmlHelper uses in the
following file:

/cake/config/tags.ini.php

actually, looking at it, tagErrorMsg is one of the only functions that
doesn't refer to this file at all.

in the HtmlHelper:

/cake/libs/views/helpers/html.php

you can see that it returns the following:

return sprintf('%s', is_array($text)
? (empty($text[$error - 1]) ? 'Error in field' : $text[$error - 1]) :
$text);

you *could* change it here but it's not recommended as next time you
update your Cake version you'll overwrite this.

what you could do instead is write your own helper that includes a
similar function. this could be a wrapper that removes the DIV or a
function very similar to this one. If you have a look at the function
you can see what it's doing and replicate it.

HTH

Re: Html helper emits id attribute that i don't want

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I don't think Nate was flaming Dieter.  So, it shouldn't be a problem.
Nate was flaming all those people that want to configure and
reconfigure over and over again.  Those are the same people with
spaghetti code.  And even the ones that don't have spaghetti code, that
have studied well and make their own standards, wouldn't it be much
easier if they just used CakePHP which has standards which is what the
conventions are.  It is a standard way of outputting so you know what
to expect without having to type all over the place.

Before I found CakePHP I use to wonder how people can do open source, I
mean I realized it was good at getting the best result because the most
minds could work on it, but why not make money?  I just didn't get it.
Now, I found CakePHP and donate my monthly money, contribute to this
Google group, and worked hard to debug the code when it was RC and
preRC.  I did all this because I believed in CakePHP and it's mission.

I know that I myself often get frustrated with people who are new to
CakePHP and want it to do things the way they use to do them.  Back in
the days when they took months to write applications and ended up with
some level of spaghetti code just simply because it worked.  I also get
frustrated with people who are so quick to say, CakePHP is screwing up,
or not working right!  Instead of trying to actually debug their app,
discover the behaviour, become familiar with CakePHP and love it.  So
many people it seems forget that this is code, not life.  It follows a
predesigned set of rules.  The output is predictable.  And when you get
unpredicted results, you can debug it because there isn't chance, or
life in the equation.  Making any application work isn't the result of
throwing dice until it lands on 7.  It is the result of resolving
problems as they arise.  Every programming problem has a solution.  And
often it is simple and not that CakePHP is broken, but that you forgot
case sensitivity or didn't know how to turn off mod_rewrite in CakePHP.

So, it wasn't a flame, but an expression of angst against those that
just don't get it.  That don't realize that by following standards
(even if imposed by CakePHP) is much better way of coding than
reinventing the wheel from the ground up.

What I expressed was a strong opinion, which goes to the core of the
philosophy of this project, as well as my belief (which I stand by)
that people who do not agree with the philosophy of the project should
not use it.

Further, the expression of that opinion was not about or directed
towards any one person.  Rather, it was directed towards an idea, and
idea which runs counter to the philosophy of this project.  Once again,
this project has a very specific philosophy, and as such, very strong
opinions.  Therein lies the problem: it is difficult, if not
impossible, to have strong opinions without upsetting some people or
offending their sensibilities.  However, this is something I'm willing
to deal with.

Such is life.

Nate,

The above message from you to the list is almost a flame. Well, it is a
flame.

On purely neutral grounds -- as I would tend to agree with your opinion
on this topic -- I've found that things work out better in a mailing
list if people refrain from writing flames and almost-flames.

Of course, I also know how tense one can get with a busy mailing list!
It's exhausting, especially when the original group is overwhelmed by
newcomers.

No problems Dieter.  Just seemed so weird to us that use the natural id

really should try AJAX.  CakePHP makes it SO easy to implement.

Okay okay guys, you made your point very clear.

Re: Html helper emits id attribute that i don't want

[John Zimmerman]

Related to how the htmlHelper outputs tags, I just read a blurb about the tags.ini file at http://www.avatarfinancial.com
/pages/cake/Here is the relevant infoCustomizing HTML generated by the Helper  
I needed to change the default  generated when I called $html->selectTag() to say something like "Please Select" rather than an empty space (default). I also wanted radio buttons to have labels so the user doesn't have to click exactly on the radio button itself but can instead click anywhere on the text associated with it. 
Create the file /app/config/tags.ini.php and add the following:; Tag template for a input type='radio' tag.
radio = "
; Tag template for an empty select option tag.
selectempty = "-- Please Select --"You can get a full list of available tags in /cake/config/tags.ini.php. I wouldn't recommend modifying that file, however, because you could lose your changes when you upgrade CakePHP.
So using this configuration file, you can change the convention and omit the id tag.

Re: Html helper emits id attribute that i don't want

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Chris that is so funny that people fight something that would make over
90% of their programming lives MUCH easier.  And for the 10% that you
have to figure out how to make it do it the CakePHP way it would still
be hard programming it the conventional way of configuration.  It is
just that by that time you are used to configuring everything so why
not configure the 10% as well.

CakePHP takes all that away and lets you JUST configure for the special
cases.  And isn't it nice that they made it with classes that you can
extend the functionality and wrap your own code around it?  How
awesome!!!

There is nothing stopping your from creating your form without
the use of the html helper to omit the id, or as suggested earlier in
the thread, wrapping the html helper in your custom helper.Not
including the id by default would cause people to have to write more
code/configuration in other situations that differ from your "special

Special cases are treated as special cases for a reason.Please
do not take shots at the work being done (for free in fact).  Calling
it stupid does not help.  There is a lot of intelligent design work
that has been done with Cake and chances are if it works one way there
is a good reason for it.  Ask for an explanation or help with a solution instead.  If
there is a bug it will be taken care of promptly if you submit it to

During my presentation on Thursday at php|works I talked about
convention over configuration and I fielded a lot of questions from
people about why convention over configuration is good, and the
opinion of a lot of developers seemed to be, well, they wanted to
waste lots of time configuring everything and couldn't understand how
Cake (or Rails for that matter) would be any good if there weren't all
sorts of configuration files to tweak.

/me throws his hands up in the air

Me, I'm lazy and would rather have people smarter than me come up with
solutions that I can work with so I can get back to my life.

Sorry, I accidentally sent in the middle.But anyway, do some checking on attributes and preg_replace the output from the Html helper.Would that be a bad practice, or fine approach in Cake?Sohei

Re: Html helper emits id attribute that i don't want

[EMAIL PROTECTED] If it is really causing some problem or bothers you, but you still want to use Html helper,why not write a simple wrapper helper that strip out id attribute when you don't specify?
class HtmlwrapperHelper extends Helper {    var $helpers = Array("Html");        function input($fieldName, $htmlAttributes = null, $return = false)    {    }

Yes, you're right: the usual, dumb, wasteful approach to coding is that
you have to explicitly specify every little thing you want your program
to do.

If that's how you want to write your code, you should not, I repeat
*not* use CakePHP.  CakePHP does things like automatically generate DOM
ID's for form inputs, because 99.9% of the time, that's exactly what I
want it to do, so I'd rather it just do it, as opposed to me having to
tell it to do it.

That's called "convention over configuration".  If you *do not* want it
to follow this default behavior (a.k.a. "convention"), you can
*explicitly specify* something else.  Like, for example, a custom DOM
ID.

Re: Html helper emits id attribute that i don't want

It is auto outputting to aid in javascript and AJAX.  Which is a little
hiccup in this stage until 1.2 is releasing with the multiple form
elements for a single field and auto id.

For now you could modify the HTML helper yourself to not do the auto
id.  That is the best suggestion I can give.  Probably something more
elegant, but that does what you need until 1.2 is released.  I
personally love that the framework has taken the turn to closely start
integrating AJAX and Web2.0 tiny helpers like making ids nice and
pretty for us automatically.

I would like to see the Event.Selector code make its way into Cake 1.2
for even prettier degrading.  Also, which Event.Selector and the rules
it would be possible for an end user with problems to switch off AJAX
rather quickly since if the Event.Selector never starts up neither does
AJAX.  Isn't that nice!??!?!

and what's wrong with just not outputting an id attribute unless
specified?
(like is the usual approach for attributes, you have to specify them if
you want them)

Currently, the helpers do not support multiple form elements for a
single field.  We're working on a solution for this in Cake 1.2.

Re: Html helper emits id attribute that i don't want

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

i've looked in the sourcecode of htmlhelper. apparently if you didn't
set an id yourself, the helper will always automatically set the id

setting id to null will trigger the behaviour above, setting id to ''
sets id to '' so we don't want that either :'(

this really isn't fun, because i have several forms of the same type on
1 page. (eg many newsitems each with a reply-form) and thus, i have
many elements with the same id in my xhtml code.  if i don't want this,
i have to type the html code manually instead of using the html
helper.. that's a bit a stupid solution imo
