I would like to have a Form, where I can fill in multiple Phonenumbers and 
I don't know bevor hand

Hi, Create the form name in /src/UserForm1.php
namespace App\Form;

use Cake\Form\Form;
use Cake\Validation\Validator;

class UserForm1 extends Form {

protected function _buildValidator(Validator $validator) {
return $validator
->notEmpty('annul_income', 'please enter the Annual 
income')
->add('annul_income', 'annul_income number should 
be numeric', ['rule' => 'numeric'])

->notEmpty('terms', 'You must accept our terms of 
service')
->add('terms', [
'equalTo' => [
'rule' => ['equalTo', '1'],
'message' => 'You must accept our terms of 
service'
]
]);
}

public function setErrors($errors) {
$this->_errors = $errors;
}

}
In Controller File:
-
$rate = new UserForm1();
 
  $this->set(compact('rate'));
Don't forgot to add use App\Form\UserForm1;
Top of the controller

Cake 3 - Modelless Forms with nested forms / elements

[slowjack2k]

Hi,

within the documenation I did only find a simple example 
(http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/form.html).
Is it possible to create a form with "Sub-Forms"?


class PhoneNumberForm extends Form
end

class ContactForm extends Form{

protected function _buildSchema(Schema $schema)
{
return $schema->addField('name', 'string')
->addField('email', ['type' => 'string'])
->addField('body', ['type' => 'text']);
->addField('phonenumbers', ['type' => ? ]); } // should be an 
array of PhoneNumberForms
}


regards
dieter

Lo que yo quiero es ir poniendo las cantidades y luego hacer la operación 
con respecto al precio hacer un solo calculo y colocarlo en el total, 
por ejemplo en cantidad_adulto ingresar 2 y por detras multiplicarlo con el 
7.50 que es el valor y asi con todos y hacer un calculo global y guardarlo

RE: Validate Dynamic Forms

[Advantage+]

Sorry that makes no sense. Add or remove from what fieldname since we do not 
know the name? How do you validate the name of the field when the name is 
generated dynamically?

 

User makes a quiz with 20 questions,  15 questions that will need a text area, 
the other 5 are yes/no radio inputs. 

There are no names such as password, email as you noted in overriding 
validation the fields are dynamic so there is no way to know the name to 
hardcode it ahead of time.

 

Field names end up being : " name="data[Question][q-123asd569yhu]", we do not 
know the names of the fields

 









…… and so on

Question about cakephp forms and JS

[Thomas Goeminne]

Hi,

I am trying to make a form which collects data on submit. Maybe someone can 
help me.

I have a  

Then I have a form:

Form->create('Drawing');
echo $this->Form->input('id');
echo $this->Form->input('name');
echo $this->Form->input('description');
echo $this->Form->input('canvas');
echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit'));
?>

When the user clicks submit, I want the page to collect the canvas data, 
and send it along with the rest of the post data.

How would I do this?

var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL();

Also after submit I would like to store it. Normally I use the upload 
plugin from Jose gonzalez, but not sure if it can handle the raw data. So 
maybe I need save it first to the server. This will not be a problem. The 
main problem is how I can get the dataURL into the forms canvas. 

Greets,
Thomas

Re: Questions regarding editing data in forms

[Stephen S]

Hey RoadRunner

I'm not sure I would use named parameters to update records like that, I
understand your concern and I think I would share the same concerns.

It sounds like you want to be able to edit multiple records in place
without having to view each individual record in a edit page, and go
through a form. If that is the case there may be several ways to do this,
ajax is probably the best way.

Make it so the data is sent to the server in the background and lock the
controller action so it only edits the record when it detects ajax (if
($this->request->is('ajax'){ .. }). This way if you sent an ajax request to
/controller/edit/$id/$newValue it wouldn't work if the browser just hit the
URL.

Something I have used before for actually editing fields is X-Editable for
Twitter Bootstrap. It works pretty nicely with CakePHP if you do use
Twitter Bootstrap: http://vitalets.github.io/x-editable/

It's hard for me to suggest much else without actual code snippets.

Kind Regards
 Stephen

Questions regarding editing data in forms

[RoadRunner]

Hi,

i'm new to CakePHP and try to build my first database application. So far i 
can list all customers in my test-database and view/edit a customer via a 
link with the customer id passed as a named parameter.

At the moment i have 2 links to different controllers in each row of the 
customer list, one for viewing the data and one for editing the data. The 
layout looks almost equal for both controllers, which is important for me, 
but in the controller for viewing the data the form input elements are 
readonly.
Is it possible to edit a record after it is displayed readonly instead of 
placing an edit link in each row of the customer list? Of course i can 
place my edit link inside the displayed record instead of placing it inside 
each row, but this way i allways have 2 different controller with nearly 
identical views, one with read only input elements and one with editable 
input elements. Is this the best way to do this?

Then i noticed that all the controllers, actions and my named parameters 
are visible within the URL and that i'm able to edit values and call 
functions without clicking a button. Isn't it dangerous to pass parameters 
within the URL when i let users work with my database application?
I don't mean deliberately tampering the database records in the first 
place, but rather getting trouble because they use the browser history or 
bookmarks or they close the browser tab accidently. Users often try so many 
stupid things we can't imagine...is there a simple solution how i can 
harden the application against such dangers/mistakes? I would prefer it 
when the users can only "walk" through the application in the prescribed 
manner and that i can detect deviant behaviour and either reload the last 
page or discard the last action and start from scratch. Does this also mean 
that i should work with transactions to keep the database consistent?

Best regards,
RoadRunner

Submitting FormHelper forms in Internet Explorer 8

[Kieran Barnes]

I have a Cake 2.2.8 application with a whole collection of forms. All work 
perfectly in IE9/Chrome/usual suspects.

When submitting a form in IE8, it doesn't work, just reloads the page.

The add method for the controller method code is fairly basic;

public function add() {
// KB added for test
debug($_REQUEST);
debug($this->request);
debug($_POST);
debug($_SERVER);

if( $this->request->is('post') ) {
$this->request->data['User']['created_by'] = 
$this->Auth->user('id');

if($this->Auth->user('group_id') == 2) {
$this->User->addAdditionalValidationRulesForStaff();
}

$this->User->create();
if( $this->User->save($this->request->data) ) {
$this->flashSuccess(__('The user has been saved'));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->flashFailure(__('The user could not be saved. 
Please, try again.'));
}
}

$this->_setLists();
}

Again, it works fine in all browsers except IE 8. The output of 
debug($_SERVER); shows 'REQUEST_METHOD' => 'GET', in IE8, whilst other 
browsers show 'REQUEST_METHOD' => 'POST'
debug($_POST) is empty in IE 8 and is populated in other browsers.

The form view code is quite basic too

Form->create('User'); ?>
...
Form->Submit(ucwords($this->params["action"]).' 
'.ucwords(Inflector::singularize($this->params["controller"])),array('div' 
=> false, 'class' => 'btn btn-info')); ?>
Form->end(); ?>

Incidentally the identical "Edit" method works fine.
Other controllers are also affected by this issue.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or know how to fix it?

Thanks

HABTM and forms

[Gabriele Carioli]

Hi everybody,

I'm struggling with a particular hasAndBelongsToMany form data problem and 
need some help.

Quickly:

1. A recipe can have many ingredients.
2. An ingredient can be in many recipes.
2. An ingredient in a recipe can be mandatory or optional (or not present).
4. an ingredient in a recipe should be present in a certain weight.

I don't simply need to add or remove ingredients but also to set some value 
for each of them.

These are my tables:

CREATE TABLE `ingredients` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

CREATE TABLE `recipes` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

CREATE TABLE `ingredients_recipes` (
  `id` int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `recipe_id` int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `ingredient_id` int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  `mandatory` enum('M','O') DEFAULT NULL,
  `weight` int(10) DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)

There's an obvious hasAndBelongsToMany relation between recipes and 
ingredients.
I guess models could be something like this:

class Recipe extends AppModel
{
public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('Ingredient');
}

class Ingredient extends AppModel
{
public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array('Recipe');
}


When I edit a recipe, I would like to select each single ingredient from a 
list.
In each line of the list I would like to have three radio buttons (or a 
"select" with three values) and a in input field for the weight:

  (*) do not select
  ( ) mandatory
  ( ) optional

  weight: N

Values are validated before saving. If "do not select" is set, the row is 
not saved (or deleted, if present).


Can anybody please suggest me some sample controller and view code for 
implementing such a form?

Re: Multiple Forms on the same form

[david . suna]

I have done this using AJAX.  Have the button fire an AJAX event which 
calls an action on your controller which returns an empty workcenter 
section of the field.  Pass in to the AJAX call an index and have the form 
fields specified using the index.  When the form is submitted you would 
then have an array of workcenters as part of your data and you can use 
saveAll to save the factory model and all related models (assuming you have 
set up a hasMany / belongsTo relationship between factory and workcenter).

Just remember that when editing a factory you will need to present all of 
the existing workcenters associated with it as well.

Multiple Forms on the same form

[Steven Scaffidi]

Let's say I had a model called factory, and I wanted to add multiple 
workcenters to the factory. When I go to add a new factory, I want a button 
on the bottom of my form that says add workcenter. I want that button to be 
always there just in case they want to add multiple work centers. I don't 
want the form for workcenter to appear until they click the button add 
workcenter. How can I accomplish this?

Getting values from forms

[Diego Turcios]

Hi

I need a view with two textbox for getting this values for doing a query

This is my view reporteiario.ctp

> Reporte Diario Form->create('dates'); echo 
> $this->Form->input('Inicio'); echo $this->Form->input('Fin'); echo $this
> ->Form->end('Generar Reporte'); ?>


This is my function in my controller
public function reportediario() { if ($this->request->is('post')) { $d=$this
->request->data['dates']['inicio']; $q = "SELECT * from table WHERE Fecha 
>= "; $f=$q.$d; $this->set('vwrecords',$this->Vwrecord->query($f) ); } 
>
> }


The problem is I am getting a database error. I can't request the data from 
the text box.
Any idea?

HTML in forms

[Advantage+]

I have integrated CKEditor with a file browser / uploads and all that is
working fine except the actual image part.

 

If I used the editor to create a table, ul ol lists the html saves in the
database fine.

But whenever I insert an image the code gets encoded.

 

Example1: Random elements / table /lists saved to database, rendered view
shows fine

26

 

Example 2 Adding image

hello

 

So the image never gets displayed. 

View:



 

There is nothing for beforeSave() or edits to any of the data submitted.

 

I cannot firure out why it only escapes the Img tag but all other HTML is
fine.

 

Any ideas how to escape => false for input? Or suggestions to fix this?

 

Thanks,

Dave

Correct way to handle ajax forms

[Advantage+]

Just wondering what is the correct way to handle processing forms submitted
via ajax / json response?

 

What I have been doing is converting my add / edit forms into a single
element and placing them into the view/add/edit where needed so on error all
I need to do is return the form element or on success whatever is needed
success message.

 

In the controller :

 

if ( $this->Model->save($this->request->data, true)) {

 


$response = array(

'status' => true,

'html' =>
$this->render($this->autoElement('added_block'))->body(),

'message' => 'Saved!');

} else {

 


$this->set('errors', $this->Model->validationErrors);

$response = array(

'status' => false,

'html' =>
$this->render($this->autoElement('form'))->body(),

'message' =>  'Please
correct the following errors and try again!' );

}

$this->_ajaxReturn( $response ); //simply encodes $response array to json
that gets passed to the js

 

This way the js can act according to the response status and has all the
HTML info ready to drop into my  or where ever and has all the Cake
inputs with errors. Is this going about it wrong? Or is there an easier way?

Just curious how others are approaching this.

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Login Forms

[Andrew Johnston]

Hello Everyone-

I'm new to CakePHP and I'm a bit confused with the idea of login forms. 
I've read just about every page I could find on the issue, but none of them 
seemed to mirror my problem exactly. 

I'm using Wordpress for the static portion of my site and I wanted to have 
a link that said "Login". Upon clicking the link it would take the user to 
a form with the standard email/password boxes. When the user submitted the 
data, only then would it pass it over solely to the web app, which would 
verify the user, log them in, and redirect them to the home page of the web 
app. Is this possible?

Follow up question: If it would be easier/possible, can I modify my 
home.ctp to be a login form? If so, how?

Thank you everyone for bearing with me as I struggle through this. I love 
Cake and it really is making my job easier!

Re: Best practices for AJAX forms

Your two options are essentially the same thing. Either way, you're
making a request to the controller. Another option would be to include
the form in the view from the start, but hide it.

Personally, what I usually do is have jquery intercept the edit link
and make an AJAX request instead using the link's href (which passes
the ID of the thing I want to edit).

I make the form itself an element which is included into my add & edit
views with $this->element('form').

So in the controller I set $layout to false and change $viewPath to,
eg. 'elements'.DS.'Products' and then call $this->render('form') to
send it back as the AJAX response.

Best practices for AJAX forms

[Florin Trifu]

Hi

On my page, I have a table with the information of a company and a
button to edit the information. On click, through jQuery and AJAX, I
want to transform that table into a form, and I can do that either by
adding the form with javascript (hard coding it in javascript and
requesting from the server via AJAX the information from the database)
or by making a request to the controller and load the form.

Which one do you think is better from the best practices point of
view?

Thank you in advance!

Re: Cached Forms Don't Submit

[BlenderStyle]

Dividing the form into two actions, one to display and one to save,
did the trick. Thanks for the help, 0x20h. I appreciate it.

Re: Cached Forms Don't Submit

[0x20h]

When beforeFilter() gets called cake is already rendering the "cached
version".
(see dispatcher::cached() and ViewHelper#__writeFile()).
Regarding to the docs its not recommended to use the callbacks (
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1380/Caching-in-the-Controller ) .
I would probably try to separate the "display" and "save" part into 2
actions or put the form into an
element and cache that element manually, not via cacheAction.
e.g. in your view script

if($this->data || !($content = Cache::read('big_form', 'persistent'))) {
$content = $this->element('big_form');
if (!$this->data) {
Cache::write('big_form', $content, 'persistent');
}
}
echo $content;

Cached Forms Don't Submit

[BlenderStyle]

I have setup the index and edit actions to be cached in my
PostsController as follows:

var $cacheAction = array(
'index' => array('callbacks' => true, 'duration' => '7 days'),
'edit' => array('callbacks' => true, 'duration' => '7 days'),
);

Everything is cached as expected, but the edit form doesn't submit.
This is expected as well, if you think about it, but is there anyway
to bypass caching when a user submits a form?

I set callbacks to true to allow AuthComponent to do its magic, so if
I could put some code in beforeFilter(), it's executed dynamically
(not cached). I have tried each of the following in beforeFilter(),
one by one, but none of them did the trick:

if(!empty($this->data)) clearCache();
if(!empty($this->data)) Configure::write('Cache.check', false);
if(!empty($this->data)) $this->cacheAction = false;

To avoid the "why would you even want to do that" argument I see in
other forums, I'll explain a little further. My edit action is fairly
intensive since it's such a long form with a lot of "stuff" in it and
caching definitely improves the performance. To avoid writing extra
code, the edit action displays the form as well as saves it.

Re: Embedded forms, model inheritance

[daf182]

Hi,

First of all I forgot to mention that I'm using CakePhP 2.0, PHP
5.3.1, and MySQL5.1.41, and Apache 2.2.14.
Some investigation has been done.
So the validation inhereted from the parent model is working. The only
thing I had to do is to no to put the name of the parent model on the
view as I mentioned.

so just simply use:
Form->create('ModelB');?>


Form->input('field1FromA'); // no need to use
ModelA.field1FromA
echo $this->Form->input('field2FromA');
// etc...
echo $this->Form->input('field1FromB');
echo $this->Form->input('field2FromB');
// etc...
?>

Form->end(__('Submit'));?>

This would be pretty cool, but some problem still exist. The form is
based on ModelB, and Form->input(...) function tries to figure out
which type the given field is. This works perfectly for the fields of
the given model but not its parent. It will not see the underlying
table of ModelA so eg. TINYINT(1) is not discovered well and simple
text input is showed instead of a checkbox. But, if I specify the
model in the view the checkbox appears well. (but the validation goes
away...).
I check the dump of the $object retrieved in _introspectModel() in
FormHelper.php which has type eg. ModelB. The validation part of the
dumped array seems ok, contains both rules from the child model and
from the parent model. The problem is that the useTable and table part
contain only the table used by ModelB, models_bs. If I take a closer
look at that object dump (printed by debug($object);) I found
parentClass, and parent. If it does not find the attribute in the
model and in the models joind to it (via habtm), it could look for
them in the model's parent. So this part should be corrected:
if ($key === 'fields') {
if (!isset($this->fieldset[$model]['fields'])) {
$fields = 
$this->fieldset[$model]['fields'] = $object->schema();
}
if (empty($field)) { // it's not my case now
foreach ($object->hasAndBelongsToMany 
as $alias => $assocData) {

$this->fieldset[$object->alias]['fields'][$alias] = array('type'
=> 'multiple');
}
return 
$this->fieldset[$model]['fields'];
} elseif 
(isset($this->fieldset[$model]['fields'][$field])) { //
returns here in success
return 
$this->fieldset[$model]['fields'][$field];
} else {
// it returns here if the give field is not found, inhereted fields
should be handled from here
return 
isset($object->hasAndBelongsToMany[$field]) ? array('type'
=> 'multiple') : null;
}
}

Hope this will help to somebody.

Embedded forms, model inheritance

[Gergő Nagy]

Hi,

I did not find any material about inheritance, and form embedding on cake
php sites so far.
I tried to use this:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/santino83/2011/02/19/behavior_for_model_inheritance_the_missing_feature
but did not work perfectly.
Basicly I use MTI (multiple table inheritance)
I have classes ModelA extends AppModel, class ModelB extends ModelA, class
ModelC extends ModelA and class ModelD extends AppModel.
Let's say ModelA  belongsTo ModelD and ModelD hasMany ModelA of course.

Tables:
model_as(id, model_d_id, ...)
model_bs(id, ...)
model_cs(id, ...)
model_ds(id, ...)

Id fields in model_bs and model_cs are the same as in model_as. So before we
can save a ModelB entity we have to save ModelA to have common id. This is
handled more or less by that behavior mentioned above. (One bug exists
related to this.)

Is there any built in support from cake php, to support this kind of
architecture?
What I would need from the child entites point of view are:
- embedding the fields of the parent model on the child's form, now I put
them there by hand. Like ModelA.field1, ModelA.field2, etc. while form is
created eg. with $this->Form->create('ModelB')
- validation defined in ModelA, disapperad in the view of the child entity
- types of the fields of the parent class are not ok, on the parent form
they are ok, but on the a child form they aren't. Eg. booleans became simple
textfields.
- fields that are come via relationship of ModelA belongsTo property from
ModelD, has to be set by hand in the controller of ModelB
- on the update form these kind of fields (mentioned in the previous line),
are not field well, selected element has to be set by hand

I used the $uses = ('ModelA', 'ModelB') in the controller of ModelB.

So is there anybody who faces these situation or is it planned to be
supported in cake php?

Node and attachment forms on single page

[Constantin.FF]

I have very simple Nodes model/view/controller which by default stores
information like Title, Body... To each Node I need attached images,
or other files. So I created a Uploads M/V/C with the attachable
behavior from phpvideotutorials: http://pastebin.com/87pQtgib
Now if I use the Uploads M/V/C I am able to upload images and store
some of image information in the 'uploads' table, but I need to set
the attachment form into the edit nodes pages and use the 'nodes'
table for the uploads.
So I read the information for multiple forms in same page:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/RabidFire/2010/06/26/multiple-forms-per-page-for-the-same-model
I created:
models/add_attachment.php
---
 array( 'types' => array('image/
jpeg' => 'jpg', 'image/pjpeg' => 'jpg', 'application/zip' => 'zip')));
}
?>

views/nodes/admin_edit.ctp:
-

Form->create('Node');?>


Form->input('id');
echo $this->Form->input('title');
echo $this->Form->input('body');
?>

Form->end(__('Submit', true));?>
Form->create('AddAttachment', array('url' => '/
admin/nodes/add'));
echo $this->Form->input('attachment', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->end('Upload');?>


controllers/nodes_controller.php
--
..
function admin_add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
   $this->loadModel('AddAttachment');
   if($this->data['AddAttachment']) {
$this->AddAttachment->create();
if ($this->AddAttachment->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The node has been 
saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The node could not 
be saved. Please,
try again.', true));
}
   } else {
$this->Node->create();
if ($this->Node->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The node has been 
saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The node could not 
be saved. Please,
try again.', true));
}
   }


}
}
..
(i pasted only the modified part)

As a result I get an error message when trying to upload a file:
--
Notice (8): Undefined index:  Node [APP/models/behaviors/

How do I process forms via Ajax for a Quiz-like game in CakePHP?

[ujjain]

I have written a game in PHP, but I am planning to rewrite it OOP and
with CakePHP. Starting it was pretty easy and it seems I wasted a lot
of productivity in having written all the queries myself etc. I spent
almost 20 hours (wasted much though), while with Cake it could've been
done in a few hours.

This leaves me more time for making the game smoother and better. I
was using simple forms in the game in PHP, but I would like to do it
better this time.

I see so much helpers in Cakephp and am not sure what to use. The game
is for a my personal language learning site and is like Rosetta Stone.
Users should click on 1 of the 4 images when they see a text like
"perro (Spanish)".

What would be the best way to implement this? I was thinking about
xmlHttprequest forms that use Javascript. Jquery, Ajax, or prototype.

I am however embarrassed to say that after having had multiple sites
and have always heard people say Javascript is easy, never having
programmed any Javascript and don't find it easy-looking at all
compared to PHP. Can somebody point me in the right direction? It just
seems that I shouldn't be using POST-forms here. What should I use to
optimize user experience?

Re: The better way to create many register forms for many types of users?

[Vulinux]

Hi castarco,

Just to get this straight --> You got one User Model, that will be
build for every registered user. One User then belongs to either one
Student or one Company?

There are probably a lot of better attempts at doing this, but I would
do the following:
Build a method in your User Model, that is invoked in your after save
callback to either build a Student or Company Object and transfer the
id of your User to the invoked one.
The register method then would be implemented in your User Controller.

To display different register forms, you could load different elements
for each of your specialized User.

Kind regards,
Vulinus

The better way to create many register forms for many types of users?

[castarco]

Hello,

I'm programming an application that have many types of users (such as
Students and Companies), the case is that the register forms should be
different for the different types of users...

I have the Users, Students and Companies controllers... and my
question is, wich is the better place to create a register method? In
the User controller, or in the more speciallized Students and
Companies Controllers? (there is no inheritance, I'm using Acl to
stablish group permissions).

Thanks in advance.

What's the best way to change select box option labels when using Automagic forms?

[Seth Meranda]

I have a standard baked controller with add and edits for a list of
students. Each student belongs to one family, so I have this in my
Student Model:

var $belongsTo = array('Family' => array(
'className' => 'Family',
'foreignKey' => 'family_id')
);

In my student view, the Family select box (echo $this->Form-
>select('family_id');) only shows the family_id (INT) as both the
value and the label. What I'd like to do is instead, keep the value as
the family_id, but the label should be last_name, first_name. So I
wrote this in my students_controller (not sure if it's the best
approach):
$families = $this->Student->Family->find(
'all',
array(
'fields' => array(
'last_name',
'first_name'
),
'order' => array(
'Family.last_name ASC'
)
)
);
foreach($families as $row)
{
$families_list["{$row['Family']['id']}"] = "{$row['Family']
['last_name']}, {$row['Family']['first_name']}";
}
$this->set('families_list', $families_list);

Then in the view:

echo $this->Form->select('family_id', $families_list);

This works for my add view, but for my edit view, the select box is
empty.

Any ideas on how to get this to work for my edit view while still
maintaining the selected value?

Problem with bools and forms

[Ernesto]

Hello.

when the bool field is FALSE Cake reads that value as "" (empty
value).

this is causing some troubles in my newest app, where due to
customer's habits i'm using boolean selects (simple select boxes with
"Yes" ans "No" options) instead of checkboxes.

my select boxes' options are defined this way:
array(0 => "No", 1 => "Yes")

is there any way to change the default false boolean value to
"0" (zero) ??

Re: User/Admin definable forms (schemaless forms)

[gremlin]

Look into EAV structures. Basically you build tables that map data
types (field types) to their values and the owning model by name and
id. A polymorphic behavior would do most of the work. There are a few
of on github that google finds pretty easily.

This of course doesn't do the form building work, or decide how to map
value types to input types etc. But it should give you something to
play with.

User/Admin definable forms (schemaless forms)

[Greg Skerman]

Hi,

I'm currently toying with the idea of a user definable form. This would
allow a site administrator to create new forms to capture various data, and
report on the data in the admin section.

I've got the basic data structure, being a forms table, having many
form_fields, each having one form_field_type, and storing information into
form_field_responses

There are 2 approaches I'm playing with to do this.

Approach 1 would be a simple helper which can be used to autogenerate the
form. This would require the data for the form structure to be passed to the
view in each method.

Approach 2 is to use a behavior with a generateForm method that overwrites
$_schema (based on form_fields and form_field_type) to facilitate auto-form
generation leveraging the form helper's inputs() method.

anyone got any thoughts on the best approach for this sort of thing?

Re: Building spell check into forms

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look into it.

In regards to the previous post about why I would bother. The client
I'm producing the website for has requested the functionality. The
website will be public facing and could be viewed on a variety of OS/
Browser platforms, so I can't rely on the fact that modern browsers
have it built in.

Meh. Does anybody actually want that? Why not just use a browser or operating 
system that already provides spell check on the client side? (e.g. Mac OS X has 
system-wide spell check)

Building spell check into forms

[chris]

I realise that this isn't stictly a cakePHP question. But as I'm
building my application in cakePHP, I just wanted to see if anyone had
any advice in the area.

I have a requirement to provide a spell check functionality in some of
my forms. The input fields are simple 'textarea' fields.

Looking around, there seems to be a number of solutions. Most, if not
all, seem to be javascript front ends, with a php file that is called
to do the spellchecking.

The few I've looked at include

http://code.google.com/p/jquery-spellchecker/
http://www.phpspellcheck.com/

I've tried the first one and can't get the demo code to work once
downloaded, the second one the demo works fine, but I havn't gone
further than this.

Anyway, what I'd like to know is. Does anyone have expereince of
adding a spell checker to their cakePHP application? And if so, are
there any recommendations of which to use?

Thanks

Forms, Polls and others..

[Miloš Vučinić]

Hi,

I am working on a project where I need to make polls and surveys on
the web site. Those should be very similar to google spread sheet, but
it has to work from my web site.

Does anyone know if there are components for form generation or
something similar to that, or is there a propper way to start.. ?

All the best

If you can't remember whether it was wrapped in CDATA, the fact that
it's not now working does not indicate that CDATA has anything to do
with it.

Setting it to false will guarantee that it will not work.

I gave up on Prototype a long time ago, so I'm not sure what to
suggest. But, evalScripts is an option for Ajax.Updater. There's also
a more general Ajax option, evalJS:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/ajax/options

Can you see which Content-type header is being returned?

Without seeing any code, though, it's difficult to suggest anything else.

Re: evalScripts and AJAX forms

[Rory]

Okay, I think I've found out why it isn't working - the Javascript in
the Ajax response is coming through surrounded in CDATA tags, which is
why it's getting stripped.

I can't remember if JS has always come back in CDATA tags because like
I said, it was working at one point, which would indicate JS wasn't
coming back within CDATA tags.

evalScripts and AJAX forms

[Rory]

I've recently stumbled across a major problem which has brought the
development of my application to a complete stand still.

Basically, the way the application has been working up until now, is a
view would be loaded into a div tag via AJAX. This view would contain
an AJAX form which when submitted updates a status div with the
returned AJAX content. This was working fine until a few days ago when
it just simply stopped working.

The views still load via AJAX ($ajax->link) but the submission of the
forms via AJAX does not work.

I've used the Web Inspector tool in Safari to inspect the HTML view
being returned by the $ajax->link and the appropriate JavaScript is
there, however when loaded into the page, the JavaScript is stripped.
I thought it may be something to do with prototype's evalScripts
stripping the JavaScript from the returned view, however even when I
turn it off, the JavaScript isn't included.

The strangest part of the whole puzzle is that I've literally done
nothing that I can think of that would universally stop all forms from
working. I could understand if it wasn't working for a single form -
but not all of them simultaneously.

Anyone got any ideas, because I'm totally stumped.

Thanks,
Rory

Extending might not be necessary. See below.

You could do it with radio buttons. They needn't be created with
FormHelper (in fact, it'd be simpler to do it manually). Add a
listener with JQuery to hide/show the appropriate fields for
Passport/NationalDocument depending on the radio button selected.
Then, when the form submits, remove the hidden field altogether. You
could then create validation rules in the Person model to ensure that
only one was included in the submitted data before saving. You can
access eg. $this->data['Passport'] from within your custom validation
method. Then you could have rules in both Passport and
NationalDocument to handle validation for their respective values.

Actually, because you may have more than one field required for
Passport, instead of hiding/showing form elements, you could put them
in their model-specific fieldsets. Give both of them IDs and hide/show
the fieldsets. Again, before the form submits, remove the entire
hidden fieldset from the DOM.


Form['Passport']['code'];
echo $this->Form['Passport']['expiration'];
?>




> Apart from that, when you say, "create the association array" what do
> you mean?

Sorry, that wasn't very clear. I meant that you could update
$this->data with whatever values you needed, depending on which was
chosen. But that shouldn't be necessary if you go the route I
suggested above.

I do need different fields for passport and National document. For
example, the passport has an expiration date whereas the national
document has not. So I think I should extend the Credential model.
How could I do that? I know how to do it at the PHP side but I don't
know how I should create the tables for that to work.

Let's say I require the following:
For passport: An alphanumeric code and an expiration date.
For national document: A numeric code, no letters.
I would like to be able to change the available view fields at
runtime. For example, if I check the checkbox, the passport fields
would appear and the national document fields dissapear.
I could do it with JQuery or maybe with multipage forms, but the
latter is another problem, isn't it?
Apart from that, when you say, "create the association array" what do
you mean?

Thank you very much for your help.

You do either. That is, a model can have a $hasOne association that is
empty. Your data from a find() would just return an empty array for
Passport or NationalDocument (whichever didn't exist). But, if the
model can only have one or the other, it might be simplest to create a
more general model, eg. Credential. That model could either be
extended by Passport and NationalDocument, or it could be associated
with a CredentialType model whose table was a list of types. It really
depends on whether you need other firleds for Passport and
NationalDocument.

What information do you require in either case? If it's only, eg. a
number, you could use a single field in conjunction with a checkbox,
neither of which directly corresponds to an actual Person field. In
beforeValidate, look at the checkbox value and create the association
array according to it. Then assign to it the text element value. Can't
really suggest much more without knowing what the information is that
you require, though.

Dynamic forms

[Andr?s Manikis]

Hello.
I have the following questions.

Let's suppose I have, say, a person model which has an id, a name and a 
boolean that tells whether this person is native from a specific country or 
not (for example, native from Argentina or not).

In the case of being native, he has a national document, otherwise, he has a 
passport.

So, the first question: is ok to have a person model that has one passport 
or one national document? Maybe I should make this person to have one 
generic document which then can be a passport or a national document.

The second question would be: how can I change the form fields dynamically 
in the view depending of the person being native or foreign? I mean, if the 
person is native, the "add person" form should have a "national document" 
field present whereas if the person is foreign, the field present should be 
"passport" instead of "national document".

Hope I made myself clear. If not, please tell me where I'm not being so.
It's very important for me to discuss this as I'm working on a project which 
model is very dependant on the nationality of the people.

Thank you very much.
Andrés

RE: possible to create a nested post with forms?

If they're two separate forms you shouldn't need to do anything
special. If you want to save multiple records from the same form
you'll be using saveAll(). See this link for a good writeup on that:

I'm sorry, I can't really follow the question. Can you give us a bit
more information about the purpose of the Order Positions and how they
relate to an Order, or how you need them displayed?

Ah that would explain it, I did scan your email over 3 times to be sure I
wasn't misunderstanding!

I haven't used the security component in this way yet so I am afraid I can't
be of any further help

I will use this component soon however, thanks for reminding me of its
existence :)

Re: Forms security: Not displaying input means it is protected? --zivi-muh

[Joshua Muheim]

Thanks for the hint to the $whitelist, Stephen. But this seems not
necessary to me anymore when using the Security component (which I do
and I forgot to mention in my first post). Look at this
(http://book.cakephp.org/view/175/Security-Component):

"When using the Security Component you must use the FormHelper to
create your forms. The Security Component looks for certain indicators
that are created and managed by the FormHelper (especially those
created in create() and end()). Dynamically altering the fields that
are submitted in a POST request (e.g. disabling, deleting or creating
new fields via JavaScript) is likely to trigger a black-holing of the
request. See the $validatePost or $disabledFields configuration
parameters."

So if you're using Security component, the end user can't mess with
the POST data anymore. :-)

Any other comment about this, anyone?

Re: Forms security: Not displaying input means it is protected? --zivi-muh

[Stephen]

Hi There

You should use a whitelist to specify the fields to save, any other fields
will not be saved.

Even if you don't display the field on the page, a user can still create the
post variable from within their browser and use it to change data they
shouldn't really be allowed to.

Hope this helps

Stephen

Forms security: Not displaying input means it is protected? --zivi-muh

[psybear83]

Hey everybody

In my application, users can edit their email, phone number etc., but
they are *not* allowed to edit their username - only admins are
allowed to do that.

So I'm wondering: is it safe to simply not display the username field
to the user? Afaik CakePHP makes sure that the form hasn't been
manually edited (e.g. adding a username input field), right? So I
don't have to double-check on the application's side, e.g. by
unsetting the $data[User][username] field, as long as I'm only
displaying form fields using CakePHP's form helper (and not
"deactivating" them by just hiding them using CSS or so), right?

If so - yeah, sweet! Thanks, CakePHP! :-)

Re: Making Forms using Loops for Populating Multiple Database Entries

[Rameez]

Hey I was looking around in the cake folder and opened to model class
to look at how save was working, found this lying in the create()
function there

$this->id = false;

seems to have done the trick, it. Thanks for your help, I am trying to
resolve the saveall() issue now, still can get that to work. I ll get
back to you on that as well.

Re: Making Forms using Loops for Populating Multiple Database Entries

[Rameez]

No I haven't used Bake as yet, but the structure is really simple. I
ll skip the answers part because that is not relevant here

Survey Model
---ID (primary key)
---Name

Question Model
---ID (primary key)
---Text
---Survey ID (foreign key)

so what happens is I am looking at all the surveys I have, and I
decide to add a question to a particular survey, so I call the add
function from questions controller passing it the parameter,
(survey_id) to use for its foreign key field. The add action is a form
where i take the question text and recalls the same add action with
$this->data and the passed parameter.

function add($surveyid=null)

debug($this->Question->id);
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->data['Question']['survey_id']= $surveyid;
if($this->MasterQuestion->save($this->data, array('validate' =>
true))){
   //redirect me to another page
}
}
}

Now when we submit the form and enter the function, $this->Question-
>id is magically made equal to the $surveyid. So when save() is called
it thinks that it needs to update the db which has the given id. As
you can see the the debug function is outside the if statement so it
runs even before i press submit. If i pass parameter 1($surveyid = 1),
$this->Question->id is set to 1.  If i pass parameter =2,  $this-
>Question->id is set to 2 and so on. Thanks.

Re: Making Forms using Loops for Populating Multiple Database Entries

[Pablo Terradillos]

I'm not sure if i understand correctly your first issue...
Have your associated model the corresponding foreign key and, also, a
primary key?
For example,

Questions
id
text

Answers
id
question_id
text



Regarding the second issue,

remember to enclose modelName.$i.field with double quotes so $i is treated
as a variable or you could use 'modelName.'.$i.'field'

Re: Making Forms using Loops for Populating Multiple Database Entries

[Rameez]

Thank you for your response, I in fact did do what you said about the
first problem and resolved that error. I was passing the parameter to
a page that has a form. The create function in the view, would recall
the same action using the $options as 'action'. I added the 'url tag
to the' $options array. Without the tag my parameters kept
disappearing

1) However now I have come across a new problem. The parameter I pass
is to set the foreign key field of the Question (Survey ID). But when
I save $this->data, it takes the id to be the same argument
automatically. So it goes into the database and over writes the entry
with that ID instead of making a new entry.
 Here is my view code:

echo $form->create('ModelName', array('url' => array('action' =>
'create',$this->passedArgs[0])));
echo $form->input('text',array('label'=> 'Enter the Question Text'));
echo '
echo $form->end();

Inside the controller i just try to debug the id
Code:
if (!empty($this->data)) {
 debug($this->ModelName->id);
 $this->ModelName->save($this->data, array('validate' => true));
 redirect(somewhere);
}



2) As for the second question, saveAll() tries to save all the answers
options with the same primary id which is zero for this case. If I use
a loop I change the syntax like this ModelName.0.FieldName becomes
ModelName.$i.Fieldname where $i is the loop variable. This doesnt save
anything.

Re: Making Forms using Loops for Populating Multiple Database Entries

[Pablo Terradillos]

Have your model the corresponding associations?
Questions have many answers?

if so, you could check what your form is POSTing using debug($this->data);
in order to check if you are making all in a the correct way

You may not have any problems putting the form generator in a loop, as long
as your associations are correct (is saveAll working whenever you try to
save the answers without the loop?)

Making Forms using Loops for Populating Multiple Database Entries

[Rameez]

I am new to cake php so please bear with me. I am trying to create a
survey for which i can create multiple choice questions. i am running
into two issues

1) for multiple choice questions i have a form that takes all the
answer choices and saves them as separate entries inside the answers
database table. Can someone tell me how to take same input field for
multiple entries in a loop? This because i have a varying number of
answer choices for every question. The cook book only shows how to it
indivudially using 'Modelname.0.fieldname' and Modelname.1.fieldname
and so on. I tried replacing the numbers with a loop variable but then
the saveall() didnt work?

2) i cant pass parameters from an action inside the surveys controller
to an action inside the questions controller. Can someone help me with
this? The url indicates that the parameter is being passed, but the
receiving function always gets a null.

Could someone help me with this. Thank you in advance.

Re: Named parameters, forms and redirects

[WebbedIT]

Nah, deffo not doing anything wrong, just getting used to the
framework :)

Although I do advise spending time trying to do everything to the best
of your ability first time around.  You will reuse a lot of CRUD code
throughout other models/controllers/views.  With my first CakePHP
project I had over 50 models and by the time I had finished I had
probably bettered my early model/contoller/views twice.

Nothing worse than having one model expecting variables in a different
way to another and possibly behaving different across one app.

Re: Named parameters, forms and redirects

[chris]

Thanks for your reply and suggestions, I have adjusted my code since
and it seems to be working fine, will look at these options as well
and see how I can improve it.

At least it dosn't sound like I am doing something completely wrong.

Re: Named parameters, forms and redirects

[WebbedIT]

As I suspected, the issue is when you initially request the form you
are passing it in via $_GET as a named parameter, then when you submit
the form you change to passing it in via $_POST into the model's data
array instead.

I actually do it this way myself and have my method specified as
something like

function add($foreign_id = null) {
  $foreign_id = $data['Model']['foreign_id'] ? $data['Model']
['foreign_id'] : $foreign_id;
  if (!$foreign_id) {
// error
  }
}

You could move this logic to the controllers isAuthorized() method to
throw an auth error

function isAuthorized() {
  switch ($this->action) {
case 'add':
  $foreign_id = $this->data['Model']['foreign_id'] ? $data['Model']
['foreign_id'] : $this->params['named']['foreign_id'];
  if (!$foreign_id) return false;
  break;
  }
  return true;
}

but I think this is wrong as the existence of a foreign_id is not
really an Auth issue.  The other method would be to  amend $form-
>create in your view so the form submits to '/model/add/foreign_id:1'

No hard and fast answer really.

Re: Named parameters, forms and redirects

[chris]

Thanks for the reply, I seem to have found a way to make this work, by
only checking for the parameter if $data is empty, as otherwise the id
is kept in the data array.

But still not sure if I'm doing things right.

To answer your points below

1.This bit of code is the only part which is doing anything related to
accepting the parameter, the passedArgs seems to be automatically
filled in.

if(isset($this->passedArgs['foreign_id']))
$this->data['model']['foreign_id'] = $this-
>passedArgs['foreign_id'];

2. I do not explicitly pass it to the view, the above code puts the
parameter into the data variable.
3.The form is generated by the form helper, this line is used for the
forigen key, the value gets automaically filled in when I have
assigned it to the data variable,

echo $this->Form->input('foreign_id',array( 'type' => 'hidden'));

Thanks

Re: Named parameters, forms and redirects

Hi,

Need to post the relevant parts of your controller and view so that we
can see how you are

1. accepting the variable into your controller method
2. passing it to your view
3. including it in the form to pass it back to the controller.

Named parameters, forms and redirects

[chris]

I'm passing a foreign id to my models add funtion via a URL such as

/model/add/foreign_id:1

The /add/ method generates an error and redirects if it does not
receive this parameter.

I assign the foreign id to the model and it auto populates the form

if(isset($this->passedArgs['foreign_id']))
$this->data['model']['foreign_id'] = $this->passedArgs['foreign_id'];

This all works, until the form has a validation error and has to be re-
displayed to the user. The URL then changes to

/model/add/

So the foreign_id information is then lost.

Firstly, is what I'm doing correct, and how can I fix this issue?

Multiple Forms in the same controller / model to be validated differently?

[Shaz]

Here's an old article that shows how to do exactly what I want - but
doesn't quite work:

http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/multiple-forms-per-page-for-the-same-model

Any other way of using CakePHPs form validation on different forms? I
have an add, edit function/view/form for my controller and I want to
validate different rules on the forms...

Re: Multiple login forms submitting to one login action

[tersmitten]

I already found the solution myself. It was because of the stupid
pages controller :-(

Re: Models, joins and forms

[Joachim Nyqvist]

Ok. I have changed the tables and these are my files:



-



-

 array(
'className' => 'Merit',
'foreignKey'=> 'category_id',
)
);
}

?>

-

 array(
'className'=> 'Category',
'foreignKey'=> 'category_id'
)
);

function index() {

$this->layout = 'cv';

$this->set('utbildning', $this->Merit->find('all', array(
'conditions' => array('Merit.category_id' => 1),
'order' => array('Merit.modified DESC')
)));

function edit($id = null) {
$this->Merit->id = $id;
if (empty($this->data)) {
$this->data = $this->Merit->read();
}
else {
if ($this->Merit->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Meriten har uppdaterats.');
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'merits',
'action' => 'index'));
}
}
}
}
?>

Now to my issue. How do I do with the edit-action? It saves everything
to a single table, however I would like to have a

['Category']['name']
['Category']['name']
['Category']['name']


and post the value to ['Merit']['categories_id'].

How do I do that?

Re: Models, joins and forms

[Joachim Nyqvist]

No need to apologize about language. I was just lazy, so I didn't
translate, I just wanted to show which columns where corresponding.

Thanks for the answer. I will certainly look into this in detail when
I have a little more time over.

You're definitely right about dropping the join-table. As the setup is
today, a record can belong to many categories, however that wasn't the
intention. The intention was only one category per record. I don't
really know why I made it more complicated. So "Category hasMany
Record" and "Record belongsTo Category" makes perfect sense.

Yes, you should be following Cake's conventions so that you can take
advantage of associations (hasOne, etc.). However, I'm goingto have to
show you using english, simply because I'm unsure of the inflections.
Sorry about that. Maybe someone else can adjust this to use your
laguage.

First thing, use "id" for the PK:

CREATE TABLE merits (
id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
ar varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
titel varchar(40) NOT NULL,
plats varchar(40) DEFAULT NULL,
stad varchar(40) DEFAULT NULL,
beskrivning text,
modifierad timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (meritId)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;


For this table, normally we would use "name" also, so that
find('list') will work properly. To use "kategoriNamn" instead, you'll
need to change the $displayField in the model definition:

var $displayField = 'kategoriNamn';

You /can/ also change the PK for the model to "kategoriId" but that's
complicating things.

CREATE TABLE kategoris (
id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
kategoriNamn varchar(40) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (kategoriId)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;


Normally, the join table name is made from the names ofthe two tables,
"kategoris_merits" in this case. Then, column names are based on the
singular tablename plus "_id". If your tables were "records" and
"categories", your table would be:

CREATE TABLE kategoris_merits (
category_d int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
record_id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
UNIQUE(category_d, record_id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

This is where the inflections fget confusing for me. You see that the
column names are singular. I don't know how that would work for you.

Note that you don't make a multiple-column PK. You can add a UNIQUE
key, though, and, if you really want a PK, add an auto_increment
column, like with any table.


Once you have the tables set up, you then need to define the
associations in the models. Because you've got a join table, I assume
that you a Record can belong to more than one Category. In thatcase,
you need to set up HABTM associations in each model.

If a Record can only belong to a single Category, though, you should
drop the join table, add a category_id column to the records table,
and your assoc. would be:

Category hasMany Record
Record belongsTo Category


Again, I apologise for the lack of language-specific help. Perhaps all
this can be done without resorting to english names.

Models, joins and forms

[Joachim Nyqvist]

Ok, I'm new to Cake, but not php. I don't know how to build my models
for easy creation of add, edit and delete actions.

I have three tables:

The records:

CREATE TABLE merits (
  meritId int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  ar varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
  titel varchar(40) NOT NULL,
  plats varchar(40) DEFAULT NULL,
  stad varchar(40) DEFAULT NULL,
  beskrivning text,
  modifierad timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (meritId)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

The categories:

CREATE TABLE kategoris (
  kategoriId int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  kategoriNamn varchar(40) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (kategoriId)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

and the table to connect categories and the records:

CREATE TABLE cvs (
  kategoriId int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  meritId int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (kategoriId,meritId)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

For now I have managed to produce a index view with the following:

layout = 'cv';

$this->set('utbildning', $this->Cv->query("SELECT merits.ar,
merits.titel, merits.plats, merits.stad, merits.beskrivning FROM
merits JOIN cvs ON merits.meritId = cvs.meritId JOIN kategoris ON
cvs.kategoriId = kategoris.kategoriId WHERE kategoris.kategoriNamn =
'Utbildning' ORDER BY merits.modifierad DESC;"));
}
}
?>

A simple SQL-query, because I know how to work them.

Now, I don't know how to write the models, so i can add the other
actions, add, edit, delete. After some researches, I think it has
something to do with (hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo) but would certainly
need some help.

Set debug to 2. When it's at 0, Cake throws a 404 when it encounters
an error. This is so it doesn't reveal them in production mode. You
probably have some unrelated error happening.

That should go in AppController::beforeFilter()

Multiple login forms submitting to one login action

[tersmitten]

I'm having 2 login forms in my (cake) application. One on the home
page (served by pages controller) and one in my user controller. The
one from my user controller is working fine. But when I try to login
from the homepage I get a blank page and I see in firebug I got a 404.
The strange thing is that the session is setup OK.

It's looks like it has something to do with $this->Auth->autoRedirect
= false (which is set in user controller beforeFilter()). What could
be the problem?

Forms/Model SQL Error

[Nabeel]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a form - I have a  Users model with some simple
validation. I'm creating a form with:

http://bin.cakephp.org/view/2134760139

The output from this on the page is:

http://bin.cakephp.org/view/220211324

Hmm, that's not right. So I turn up debug:

http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1647080842

Not so pretty but basically:

Warning (512): SQL Error: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the
right syntax to use near 'entity' at line 1 [CORE/cake/libs/model/
datasources/dbo_source.php, line 673]

Showing where the form starts, and then:

Warning (2): implode() [http://php.net/function.implode]: Invalid
arguments passed [CORE/cake/libs/view/helper.php, line 643
Warning (2): array_shift() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean
given [CORE/cake/libs/view/helper.php, line 597]
Warning (2): array_map() [http://php.net/function.array-map]: Argument
#2 should be an array [CORE/cake/libs/view/hel
Warning (2): join() [http://php.net/function.join]: Invalid arguments
passed [CORE/cake/libs/view/helper.php, line 598]

When I remove the public $uses = array('User'); from my controller,
there are no errors, and the fields show up properly. But then of
course, I can't do any validation or saving of the data.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: forms

[Andrei Mita]

I don't see way it doesn't work. As Shaz suggested, double check if you have
the helper enabled.
