# At Username Text
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:05 TonkaTruck Ohhh...
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:05 achew22 TonkaTruck: make sense?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:05 thestaff stevieboy, not sure I understood
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:06 poluta1 Martz: can we access $this->AppModel ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:06 TonkaTruck achew22: I follow ya. I just wanted to try an element with requestAction.
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:06 poluta1 can we access $this->AppModel ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:06 achew22 TonkaTruck: the practice can be done in objects too, if you know you will need a function later but its not necessary yet then you put function nameOfFunction () {} and call it a day
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:06 poluta1 i put my public $captcha = null in my User model class
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:07 stevieboy thestaff: look at any page, right click on a headline or sth and then select "inspect element". firebug will open at the position where the headline is
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:07 stevieboy this will help if you try to debug forms or sth
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:07 thestaff kool
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:07 Martz poluta1: ok, so in your User Controller beforeFilter() { $this->User->captcha = $session->read();}
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:08 Martz poluta1: or whatever the correct syntax is for session
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:08 poluta1 Martz: i need a beforeFilter() ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:08 thestaff yeah for some reason there is no form in my thickbox
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:08 poluta1 owww i must call beforeFilter callback
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:09 poluta1 ok
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:09 poluta1 i try
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:09 thestaff achew22, it doesn't appear in the div either
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:10 Djiize hi all
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:10 pgcd stevieboy: ok, I see that it was working all along, but it wasn't returning what I expected... what's the proper way to deal with the array returned from HABTM associations? should I use foreach in the view, or are there neeater ways? (i need to have a kind of "group_concat()" result)
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:10 TonkaTruck I just got reverse routes to work...fancy.
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:10 achew22 thestaff: use firebug to inspect. Sorry I can't hold hands this time around
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:10 achew22 TonkaTruck: have you read the thing from Felix on reverse routes?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:10 thestaff here is my view: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1965344384
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:10 TonkaTruck achew22: No. There's a really small bit about them in 3.4.5.4 in the book.
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:11 thestaff well I think I know where is the problem
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:11 stevieboy pgcd: there is a Set:: -class. maybe there is a good func
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:11 thestaff there is no form created
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:11 stevieboy thestaff: try to use debug()
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:11 pgcd stevieboy: thank you, i'll look into it
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:11 achew22 TonkaTruck: http://debuggable.com/posts/new-router-goodies:480f4dd6-4d40-4405-908d-4cd7cbdd56cb that is an awesome article from a GREAT resource. You should read everything he writes. I've only disagreed with him 1 time thus far and been a RSS reader for something like 8 months
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:12 achew22 TonkaTruck: in particular the static function url part, that is just amazing
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:12 thestaff debug() from where ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:12 thestaff cake or firebug ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:12 stevieboy thestaff: in cake
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:13 stevieboy thestaff: you got to figure out why the form istn inserted
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:13 thestaff might be this->element doens't like the htmland forms helpers
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:13 achew22 thanks stevieboy I owe you
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:14 stevieboy achew22: erm, for what exactly?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:14 stevieboy oh, ok :)
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:14 thestaff no worries
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 thestaff stevieboy, I wanna try by hand if the form would show up
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 TonkaTruck achew22: yeah that is fantastic. So is $this->redirect() reverse routable too?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 achew22 TonkaTruck: yep
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 TonkaTruck achew22: this is really great.
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:15 Martz TonkaTruck: i second achew22s recommendation. Reverse routing is amazing ;)
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:16 achew22 in my models I take it even one step further -- Model::link($id) which does the whole kit and kaboodle
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:16 achew22 I have the model::url too but I use link much more often
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:17 Martz i've been lurking in the ##php channel
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:17 Martz so painful to see people still blundering along without a framework
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:18 stevieboy forgive me but i still cant figure out the "reverse" in the reverse routing
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:18 achew22 TonkaTruck: remember, you're in this for money. You can sell something with stubs so long as you replace the "[TODO]" with "Feature coming soon" when you package it and sell it
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:18 stevieboy is it just the "url-string" to "array (controller,action,id)" ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:18 poluta1 Martz: can i assign $captcha to AppModel class model ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:18 Martz stevieboy: you can make a link like this $html->link('My link', array('controller' => 'user', 'action' => 'view', $id)); and then in the future if you want to change the URLs for /users/ to /members/ all you need to do is edit your routes file, and all your links still work
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 Martz stevieboy: instead of editing 100's of links to /users/view/$id
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 stevieboy oh,i see. i already use that :)
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 stevieboy its really great
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 achew22 ACTION hands off question answering to Martz and stevieboy
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 thestaff stevieboy, so know the form tags are there but doesn't submit
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:19 Martz poluta1: yep. thats what I recommended first, but you can keep it all in 1 model if you only need it there. Use app_model, app_controller - and get the controller to set a variable for you
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:20 slifox hello I'm new to cakephp I wanted to know how a php framework works do I just upload the files to my server and include the php files for specific functions?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:20 stevieboy thestaff: which action is called after submit? (look in the first form-tag)
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:20 Martz poluta1: so your app_controller gets the session data, and sets the variable in the model for you to use "later on"
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:21 stevieboy slifox: you should look at the tutorial in the book
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:21 thestaff stevieboy, none I removed it
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:21 thestaff you meant the method >
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:21 thestaff action="/index.php/categories/add"
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:21 thestaff sorry
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:22 thestaff so when I got to this url everything works fine
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:22 stevieboy slifox: cakephp is a very different approach at coding php. if you re "just" a php coder you will have to learn a bit
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:22 thestaff a new category is created
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:22 pgcd stevieboy: i couldn't agree more =)
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:22 stevieboy slifox: pgcd: but it is worth the effort
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:22 slifox I see I've been coding for a couple of weeks learning my way in php but I understand cakephp can help me
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:23 thestaff but the I go to items/add and I show up categories/add in a thickbox, then I can't submit
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:23 slifox with things like validation etc
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:23 thestaff \/s/the/then/
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:23 Martz slifox: its a steep learning curve but its well worth it. And if you're new to PHP, its "good" that you won't learn all the nasty ways people usually do things without a framework
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:23 Martz slifox: debugging typos will be the most "fun" for you ;)
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:24 stevieboy slifox: it helps you with data retrival (how is that spelled?), validation, html+form-generation, date/time-conversion and soooooo much more
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:24 TheBig is there a cakeway to truncate text? like before read all of some items?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:24 slifox heh cheers I'll give this manual a read
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:24 stevieboy thestaff: nerd!
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:24 thestaff stevieboy, ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:24 stevieboy slifox: see you next month

# Aug 7th 2008, 04:25 poluta1 Martz: failed :(
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:25 Martz TheBig: There is TextHelper::truncate - so do you mean in the query or in the view?
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:25 stevieboy thestaff: i referred to the replace-regex
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:25 Martz poluta1: 1 sec i'll bin some sorta logic for you
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:25 thestaff haha
# Aug 7th 2008, 04:25 poluta1 i can't modify AppModel model class
