# Aug 7th 2008, 09:50 Lemon|work Would it be possible to create "client side views"
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:50 TommyO as long as you have the proper security features in place, that is :)
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:50 moelee word
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:49 Eddie_CRO but that is some predefined values (vars from post/get, ...). You are suggesting that i can use this var to do, for example, $params["my_param"] = 'my_value' and will work. yes?
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:49 TommyO yeah. really flexible. and if you give the params names in a url it gives more clues to the user as to what the url means. allowing them to tweak a url to get what they want is imho a great usability feature
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:49 stevieboy this might help some

# Aug 7th 2008, 09:48 moelee neat
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:48 moelee ah k
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:48 TommyO moelee: cake finds things in the url like param:value and puts them in a 'special place'. this allows for out-of-order param passing, and missing pieces, etc
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:48 moelee ah
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:48 Eddie_CRO yes i see it now, i somehow missed this page: http://book.cakephp.org/view/55/the-parameters-attribute-param
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:47 moelee i haven't had to deal with multiple params via url passing, but it would be good to know for reference
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:47 TommyO Eddie_CRO: a session in http-land is a number of requests and replies between a particular client and the server, $params is defined on a per-request level, not a per-session level
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:47 stevieboy nope, it's empty
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:46 moelee TommyO can you explain named params
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:46 stevieboy i'll try anyway
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 TommyO at least I don't think so :)
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 TommyO stevieboy: no
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 stevieboy as param?
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 stevieboy can i add it there too?
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 stevieboy TommyO: i need to use it in the beforefilter
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 Eddie_CRO )
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 TommyO is a good way
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 TommyO stevieboy: function action($id = null) {
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:45 Eddie_CRO explain.
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:44 TommyO ummm... in a request. Session has a specific definition
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:44 stevieboy TommyO: well.... so i use the only and right way using $this->params['pass'][0]
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:44 Eddie_CRO so i guess $params var is always passed in a session?
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:43 Eddie_CRO yes, i noticed it :D
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:43 TommyO $id will be set to the very first param
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:43 Eddie_CRO D
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:43 TommyO stevieboy: function action($id = null) {
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:43 TommyO stevieboy: wow, you're here just in time for the same discussion with Eddie_CRO :)
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:43 Eddie_CRO ...
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:42 Eddie_CRO ok...
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:42 TommyO if you find yourslef doing: function search($word = null, $count = null) etc, you risk having params out of order or missing
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:42 Eddie_CRO psychic: that was for me?
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:42 stevieboy hello, is there a better way to retrieve the id than use $this->params['pass'][0] ?
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:41 _psychic_ /search/query:stufff/otherstuff:foo
# Aug 7th 2008, 09:41 Eddie_CRO how then?
