Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
That was what I meant by "upgrade" in my previous posts. But I guess I should call it migrating the application to the newer version instead, if that's what you are suggesting. I would very much like to do that. But I have the most slimest idea about cakephp. I can use the scripts made by others, do some search/ modify of php to suit my needs on the very basic level. I know basic php. Would you be able to point me to the right direction as to where to start building the store on new version? I tried to use the complete new version of cake, and use the the magnik app folder to "merged into" the app folder, so that I have a new core (\cake), and modified \app folder, hopefully with all the files to suit the new core. But obviously, it was not easy since a lot of modifications have been made between the two versions, plus magnik app has a lot more code in it. My php level is simply not enough to manage it. Is that what you would do to "create a store from scrach using magnik and a current build of cakephp"? Or am I just using a completely wrong way and driving myself crazy? Your advice will be greatly appreciated!

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
At this point, I'd suggest contacting Magnik. http://www.magnik.com/api/terms_and_conditions See if it's compatible with the current version of CakePHP. If they do any URL rewriting of their own (or custom routes) it *may* break the default setup of Jake. If that's the case, you'd then need to compare and contrast the routes. As for an older version of CakePHP, I don't know how to get access to it without using an SVN client - and since I don't use SVN, I still wouldn't know for sure if it's available via that method either. Have you tried creating a "store" from scratch using Magnik and a current build of CakePHP? If you can get that working, the Jake interoperability can come after.

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
Hi Brendon, I appreciate your help. I am under the impression that it's not just the jake.ini configuration problem. I tried the latest cakephp version and it works like a charm. But using exactly the same configuration file, while using the script I mentioned written in an earlier version of cake 1.2, I am having the problem. So, I guess either between the two versions, there has been something leading to the problem, or it is the application-building process broke some connections. I thought that the building of the application will not break the relationship between jake and cake, since it should not touch the cake core, but I may well be wrong. But that was the reason I suspected it was the version difference. I am not trying to talk you into guiding me through the upgrading process, I am just trying to identify my problem. Is there a way I can get a cakephp 1.2.0.5427alpha version, so that I can try and see whether it is application-related or version-related? I searched online for long time and found nowhere to download such earlier version of cakephp. Do you have any resources, maybe a backup of earlier files? Again, thanks so much and have a good one!

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
Umm...what? You just went from having issues using Jake, a connector for CakePHP and Joomla, to a completely different application issue. If it is upgrade problems, I'm of the mindset that if you can't do it yourself, someone should be hired to do it for you. Anyhow, I took a look at Joomla (v1.5) and Jake (v1.0.3.38b for Joomla 1.5), running CakePHP v1.2.0.7962 (as it was the latest I happened to have, already downloaded). The primary step that Jake ignores, is that it *assumes* your CakePHP application is ALREADY installed, configured, and running. The configuration of Jake is then to simply point to where you have it installed. I misunderstood how Jake integrated Joomla and CakePHP. You install Joomla on its own. You also install CakePHP on its own. My (test) directory structure was as follows: - htdocs/ --- joomla/ -- joomla related files... --- cake/ - app/ --- webroot/ - cake/ - vendors/ After following the instructions on Jake's site, after importing the Jake ZIP archive and reading that I needed to configure the "jake.ini" file, I came to realize it expected the app to have already been baked, and all it was asking for was the full (or relative) path to the CakePHP application. As for Magnik.com's application, I'm not familiar with that, nor do I really want to be. Hopefully you can get that working on your own. Supposedly it uses a version of Cake v1.2, so the routing and htaccess rules should be the same, so it seems the Jake configuration is (hopefully) simply the problem here.

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
Thanks Brendon. Definitely appreciate your help. Maybe you can use the exact cake application I am using so that to reproduce what I am seeing right now. Here is the link: http://www.magnik.com/api/files/magnik%201.2.4.zip. It is a amazon script written in cakephp. I do think the version matters since I can use the latest version of cake with no problem, although I don't have the capability to upgrade that application to latest cake. Thanks again!

Whoops, Smelly Eddie is right. I think "below" as being outside the document root, not within.

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
I realized that this might be a completely different problem. Since the mainframe of joomla wasn't displayed after I called jake component with index.php?option=com_jake. It might be a problem that jake calls joomla files, including css files. If that's the case, it is the handling of joomla url be wrong. Since the cake\app path is defined relative to joomla folder, the path will be wrong as well. But I still cannot locate how jake could mess up with the joomla url writing. Anyone please?

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
Thanks Smelly. Actually, I did try both, and they gave me the same result. The way I avoided the mixing of index.php page is that I renamed index.php in cakephp to cakephp.php, and call that page in jake component. But still exactly the same symptom. I actually tried a few other ways, like put joomla files in a folder named joomla and put it under webroot rather than directly copying joomla files to webroot, etc. They all give the same error and symptom. One thing I almost forgot and I guess is important: I suppose any cakephp link originally in my cake application should be rewrite to a joomla component link, right? So, in my original question, I said the link is supposed to be "http://localhost/cake/about_us";, that's not correct! It should actually be "http://localhost/joomla/index.php? option=com_jake.../about_us. It seems to me that this simply indicates jake's rewriting is wrong. Still in need of help.

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
I have to disagree with Brennen about one thing.
For security reasons, it is recommended to have most of CakePHPs file
(the core) *above* the webroot.
Your servers (site's) document root should point to cake/app/webroot.
That is where you should drop Joomla.
visiting localhost/ would then show cake localhost/about_us would
show your static page
visiting localhost/joomla would then show Joomla.
Just mixing joomla files into the webroot directory (as your second
example above) would be troublesome because both the cake index and
the joomla index will be competing. In your case it looks like you
completing wrote over the cake index, which would explain the trouble.

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
Hi Brendon, Thanks for the response. I am following the documentation
on Jake's website:
http://dev.sypad.com/projects/jake/documentation/configuration/.
It didn't specify whether joomla has to be installed under app\webroot
or not. Since it does have a jake.ini configuration file, which allows
me to put in the cakephp folder relative to the joomla folder I am
guessing at least the component is trying to take care of the relative
paths by itself.
But I did try putting joomla in different locations. Here are a few
examples I tried:
1. >htdoc
>cakephp
>app
>webroot
>cake
>joomla
>components
>jake
2. >htdoc
>cakephp
>app
>webroot
>index.php (of joomla)
>components (of joomla)
>jake
>administrator (of joomla)
>other joomla folders and files
>cake
Neither of them worked for me. Same error and same symptoms (like the
missing "\cake" in the URL, etc)
Any clue? Thanks again!

Re: Jake question: rewrite problem?
Robin, I won't be able to respond again (most likely) until Monday at
the earliest, but maybe someone else can help you if you provide some
more information. It looks like your installation paths may be a
problem. Can I ask what documentation you were following to get this
setup (source)? Also, please give a textual example of your directory
structure, if possible. CakePHP typically expects to be *below* the
web root, which is why you may be having issues if both Joomla and
CakePHP are at the same level (I haven't used Jake, but I'd think that
Joomla should be inside Cake's webroot folder?).
