app-controllers-pages_controller
Hello all, This is the first time I have posted. I am relatively new to cakePHP. I have been working with an application and have run into something strange. My app/controllers/pages_controller is acting very strange. It works just fine in my development environment. I can view, add, edit and delete pages. I uploaded it into my host and now it doesn't work. At one point, it did, but now it's acting up. I first discovered the issue a couple of days ago when I tried to edit a page. When I tried to save it, it redirected me to the edit page and deleted my changes. It shows old pages in the views. I even made my changes in my development environment and imported the SQL into the database manually. I tried deleting the pages and according to the list in my admin area, they are gone, but the database shows that they are still there. This is all very strange. Has anyone seen this before? My site is on the live server, but our site hasn't officially gone live. These are important informational pages that need to be viewable and accurate. How could this work in one environment and stop working in another? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: app-controllers-pages_controller
Sounds like there is something wrong with your code and without seeing it hard to debug. You also mention lots of different errors with editing, deleting etc. Find the the most concise piece of code that you believe should be working but isn't. Paste that code to pastebin (http://bin.cakephp.org) and provide a link here along with what you think should be happening and what is happening instead. If your site is live, it can also help to tell us at what address so we can see the error for ourselves. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

pages_controller
Maybe because I never used it in my journey with Cake so far, but the pages
controller.
I understand the basic idea of rendering static pages display = some_page
but how can you define different layouts for each rendered static page?
All I can guess is pages_controller:
function index (){
$this-layout = 'default_index';
}
function about() {
$this-layout = 'default_internal';
}
And just skip the display function. link directly to the action controller
= pages , action = index
Am I wrong?
Thanks,
K

Why do your static pages have different layouts? I would have expected your
static pages (and your dynamic pages too, for that matter) to use the same
global layout, and only need a separate view file.

RE: pages_controller
Not sure what you're getting at?
The view is the guts of the page. View gets dropped into the layout. Index
page has a fat header with 400px high. Im not going to code that into every
view div header this view and internal pages do not have a fat header so why
put that inside the view every time? Imagine changing the image in every
page or just 1 layout header?
2 layouts left_default or right_default by saying this-layout which ever I
want I can change the page look do not have to go into each view and re-code
the cols
Example layout
div id=container
div id=header?php echo $this-Element('block_header',
array('cache' = forever)); ?/div
div id=sub_nav?php echo $this-Element('crumb_block',
array('cache' = forever)); ?/div
div id=content
div id=l_230?php echo $this-Sidebar-getSidebar(); ?
/div = my side gets dropped in here
div id=r_710 ?php echo $content_for_layout; ?/div
= my view html gets dropped in here
/div
/div
div id=footer?php echo $this-Element('block_footer', array('cache' =
if I feel like it)); ?/div
Ok changed my mind
div id=container
div id=header?php echo $this-Element('block_header',
array('cache' = forever)); ?/div
div id=sub_nav?php echo $this-Element('crumb_block',
array('cache' = forever)); ?/div
div id=content
div id=1_710 ?php echo $content_for_layout; ?/div
= my view html gets dropped in here
div id=r_230?php echo $this-Sidebar-getSidebar(); ?
/div = my side gets dropped in here
/div
/div
div id=footer?php echo $this-Element('block_footer', array('cache' =
if I feel like it)); ?/div
All I had to do was $this-layout = default_left to default_right, never
touched the view could not be easier than that.
If I want to use a different layout use left_side or right side I can just
use either layout. Your not saying code each view with left_col right_side
inside the view? So if you want to change from left to right or see what it
looks like you have to recode the view
I guess your layouts are just empty?
Your view files, you hardcode code the layout cols inside every view?
div left_colall left data, navigation/div
div rightall your code/div
Anyways thanks for just answering a question with a question :)

yes, You can create subfolders in app/views/pages, so url example.com/pages/projects/software_1 will look for file app/views/pages/projects/software_1.thtml If You want example.com/pages/projects then create file app/views/pages/projects.thtml --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Setting view variables from pages_controller??
Hi all,
I have setup a pages_controller.php with the following function to
call the static homepage (home.thtml):
function home() {
$this-set('searchElement', $this-requestAction('/docs/
search', array('return')));
$this-display();
}
However on home.thtml, it says the the variable $searchElement is
undefined. Does anyone know how to pass variables from
pages_controller.php to its views?
Thanks in advance!

Re: pages_controller
I think you might be happier if you split the functionality into two different controllers.I have modified the default pages controller to add a few tweaks by first copying it to my app directory. I then renamed it to static_controller.php, modifying the code and the views directory appropriately.
I then created my own new 'pages_controller.php' which is actually a content management system.The way the default pages controller (which is now my 'static' controller) is setup it is not meant to have multiple actions defined.

Re: pages_controller
Chris Lamb: Nice. It worked when I modified the roues.php :) it was not necessary to call the display function in test function. I had problems passing variables through the url, so I discarded the idea of modifying the original pages controller, and did it the same way as John did. John Zimmerman: I just tried your suggestion and that worked very well. (renamed pages_controller to static_controler and created my own new pages controller.) Thanks guys. I was totally stuck with that problem! It is really nice when people have the patience to help us newbie's. Best regards.

Otherwise the pages/* route will try to send your parameters to the display action. I found it much cleaner to separate the two controllers rather than have 1 controller that required another route modification.Also having that route modification (i.e. pages/dynamic ) or whatever your new action would be called would cause a static page called ' dynamic.thtml' to no be displayed. That is fairly minor, but is a collision none the less. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

pages_controller
I have added my own function to the pages_controller:
function test() {
$this-set('abc', 'something');
}
The controller does load the correct view! (test.thtml) But the $abc
var is Undefined! I tried everyting, and can't figure out what is
wrong! It works perfect if I put the function in an other controller.
The reason I want this is because I would like to put all my really
simple actions in one controller. E.g page about_us has a menu and 4
bottoms. (stuff like that)
Best regards.

What's happening is that the routes are configured so that all URLs in
the form /pages/something actually call the display() function in
pages_controller, regardless of what something is.
You can confirm this by putting die('in test function') inside
test() - it won't get called.
As for a solution. try adding another route in core/routes.php:
$Route-connect('/pages/test', array('controller' = 'pages', 'action'
= 'test'));
And then modify pages_controller.php:
function test() {
$this-set('abc', 'something');
$this-display()
}
Might be a nicer way of doing it, however.

Customizing pages_controller
Does anyone have any insight on how to customize PagesController
(pages_controller.php)? I want to add my own methods like add, edit,
and delete but I can't get it working. First, I copied
cake/libs/controllers/pages_controller.php to app/controllers and added
my own method called add(). I browsed to /pages/add in my browser and I
got an error about a missing view. Okay, that makes sense.
So, I made my view file (app/views/pages/add.thtml) with a form to
submit data to /pages/add using $html-formTag. I browsed to /pages/add
and I saw my form. Hooray!
I filled out my form and submit it but nothing happens, it just returns
to my page. So, to test, I add a simple echo command to the add()
method but it doesn't work, the echo command doesn't run. I also tried
using $this-set('testing', 'testing') in pages_controller.php and echo
$testing in add.thtml and still no luck.
I also tried not using the word 'page'. So, I renamed pages to posts in
my filenames, classes, and database. So, to clarify, I renamed
pages_controller.php to posts_controller.php (PagesController to
PostsController), page.php to post.php (Page to Post), views/pages/ to
views/posts/, and my table pages to posts. That works!
So, I can't use the word 'page' because it's already used by CakePHP.
Am I right about that? Just so you know, I'm kinda following the blog
tutorial on CakePHP.org for reference. Does anyone know a way to use
PagesController?
