Re: making a layout with CSS in CakePHP
Your css files go in /app/webroot/css/. You include them by putting echo
$this-Html-css(array('filename')); in the head section of your layout.
You do your data retrieval in the controller, although your function actually
calls methods of the models, which do all of the database heavy lifting (e.g.
$this-User-find('all'); - this is run from the users controller and talks to
the user model).
You don't want to call profile.php as the action of the form -- use the form
helper instead which calls the right controller/model combination. This is pure
MVC stuff - it's different to doing usual php.
I'd recommend looking at the tutorial (http://book.cakephp.org/view/1528/Blog)
because that will cover the bases.

this is what i got worked so far:
i put all my divs containers into a view template:
div class=frame
div class=rightcolumn
div class=databox
div class=titleAllgemeines/div
form action= method=post name=profile
id=profile
div class=row
span class=labelVorname/span
span class=profiledata?php echo
$row['firstname'];?/span
/div
div class=row
span class=labelNachname/span
span class=profiledata?php echo
$row['name'];?/span
/div
div class=row
span class=labelNickname/span
span class=profiledata?php echo
$row['nickname'];?/span
/div
div class=row
span class=labelMitglied seit/span
span class=profiledata?php echo
$row['date_created'];?/
span
/div
/form
/div
form action=profile.php method=post name=gotoEdit
id=gotoEdit
div class=buttoninput name=editProfile
type=submit
id=editProfile value=Ändern //div
/form
/div
/div
/div
now, where do i put my css file (where all the divs are defined)? is
there a special folder for that? and where do i inlcude this file in
my code to tell cake to use this specific css file?
do i retrieve the user information for his profile in my controller?
probably with the find method?
do i put the code to print/show the information in my model?
right now i am using a loop to show the data:
div class=row
span class=labelMitglied seit/span
span class=profiledata?php echo
$row['date_created'];?/
span
/div
but that wont work with cake
so technically i dont know how to tell cake to use my css file, where
(model or controller) to get the data from the table, and how/where to
show the data (model or controller) that it appears in my divs
any help would be great. thx s much
