Re: Very basic question about the 'CakePHP Project Files'
Hi Farid,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, Dave also suggested that the maps issue was unrelated to cakephp, but
that a number of other problems were related.
I agree that the radio button needs a default setting, but once selected
... should remain where set until that search session is over ... and
it does not do that.
I have now employed Dave to repair the code and he is making great strides.
It is great to see it moving forward at last.
Thanks for your help too.

hi,

it's just wrong data parsing to google map api, not in your CakePPH

var mapProp = {

where Lat_Data and Lnd_Data is your client location from your
Databasename.clientTable, not 5253 Murray Bridge location.
'bout radio button, maybe developer set dafault input of radio button to
*'the

options as default input.

Re: Very basic question about the 'CakePHP Project Files'
If you have the site/application sitting on your server, that's all you will need to have the amendments made. I am of course assuming that you've full access to the server? Usually, if you have paid to have a site written, you OWN the code, unless there was some sort of other arrangement that had previously agreed with the original programmer.

Re: Very basic question about the 'CakePHP Project Files'
Hi Dave, I really appreciate your reply. Yes, the site is on my server ... I have the log-in and password and can see all files and folders via the cPanel. The site also has a CMS that I can log-in to ... to add info and make changes to content ... that all works ok. So the comments about me needing the 'cake project file' to have someone make changes to the 'background workings' of the site ... is a load of nonsense then? This project was started over 2 years ago ... so I would need to find the original agreement, but my understanding certainly was that once it was finished it was going to be my site. I paid enough for it. The intention was to later, create several more sites using the same code ... just with different content. Thanks again for your help ... I can stop holding my breath maybe :) Cheers, Roger On Thursday, 26 March 2015 22:45:04 UTC+10:30, Dave Edwards wrote: If you have the site/application sitting on your server, that's all you will need to have the amendments made.

Re: Very basic question about the 'CakePHP Project Files'
When CakePHP is installed there are a number of files which come automatically with the framework. There should then be a set of files that have been created by the developer, usually in a directory called 'app'. This is probably what they are referring to when they mention the 'cake project file'. You will/should have a copy of these files on your server. There should be no additional files held by your original developer which you would need, or prevent you from making changes to your site. As suggested can you post the specific problems you are having so that people can help you. Or if you are reluctant to do so, email me and I'll see if I can help, or at least put you on the right road.

Re: Very basic question about the 'CakePHP Project Files'
I've had a very quick look for you... The map issue is almost certainly not a specific CakePHP issue, but rather a javascript one. Basically when you make a call to the Google maps api, you specify which point on the map that you want to be displayed as the centre. '5253 Murray Bridge' has been used as the centre of all of your maps. This needs to be changed to the location of the business that you want displayed. The search radio button is a CakePHP issue. I would guess that as this search parameter is not a database field it is not being passed back from the relevant controller to the view, so that it correctly reflects the previously chosen option. One other thing that I have noticed is that it appears as though nearly all requests go through the same controller 'homes'. The normal CakePHP convention is that the controller name normally reflects the database table that it is reading/writing to. Without knowing your schema, I don't know why they've done that. That said, ultimately if it works it works! :) HTH Dave On Thursday, 26 March 2015 22:21:53 UTC, rogerdw...@gmail.com wrote: There should be no additional files held by your original developer which you would need, or prevent you from making changes to your site.

Re: Very basic question about the 'CakePHP Project Files'
Thanks for your input again Dave, You wrote ... The map issue is almost certainly not a specific CakePHP issue, but rather a javascript one. Basically when you make a call to the Google maps api, you specify which point on the map that you want to be displayed as the centre. '5253 Murray Bridge' has been used as the centre of all of your maps. This needs to be changed to the location of the business that you want displayed. Ok, that makes sense. Somehow I feel my requests were always either misunderstood ... or perhaps they just couldn't be bothered. Any business or service without a physical address probably could use the display as it is ... but the other 95% of listings should display as I've indicated. The search radio button is a CakePHP issue. I would guess that as this search parameter is not a database field it is not being passed back from the relevant controller to the view, so that it correctly reflects the previously chosen option. Mmm ... so do you think that is something reasonably easily fixed ... or a major job? Again, I could never understand why they couldn't see what I was looking for and fix it ... to me it is very clearly an error in function. The only thing I understand is that there is only one database ... and all listings are lumped in together ... the only thing that differentiates between the two is .. the column for 'located IN M/B' Yes/No Therefore all the listings in the city are *'Yes'* and all others within the surrounding 25km radius are *'No'*. One other thing that I have noticed is that it appears as though nearly all requests go through the same controller 'homes'. The normal CakePHP convention is that the controller name normally reflects the database table that it is reading/writing to. Without knowing your schema, I don't know why they've done that. That said, ultimately if it works it works! :) Now that statement I don't understand ... remember I'm an end user ... not a coder ... haha. Having said that ... apart from the wrong convention ... is it likely to cause any problems ... slow down the process or hang it up at times??? Is it something I should plan on addressing too? So do you do this as paid work Dave ... or is this just a very in-depth hobby? Again, I can't thank you enough for your help and explanations.
