# Aug 7th 2008, 14:27 TommyO contain is driving me batty. one minute it creates a left join, the next minute it doesn't :) first time really exploring its depths
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:24 lqdice__ oh ok
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:24 TommyO no, I mean in my own models
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:24 lqdice__ oh you made the tree behavior?
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:24 TommyO lqdice__: I'm in the process of reworking a lot of this type of method so that it's used like: $this->find('children', ...
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:23 lqdice__ took only an hour or so
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:23 lqdice__ )
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:23 TommyO lqdice__: looks good
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:22 lqdice__ it could get heavy if a user has tons of access but since it allows you to give people access at the parent nodes there shouldnt be a problem
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:21 lqdice__ used both contain and regular conditions
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:20 lqdice__ TommyO: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/577899715 .. users have groups so this is what nodes the group has access to
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:19 TommyO lqdice__: cool. the kind of conditions that containable might help with?
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:12 lqdice__ TommyO: I got it .. the tree thing.. it's a bit of work but not tooo bad.. you do have to do custom conditions on left/right nodes
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:10 TommyO iirc
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:10 TommyO as far as views/layous are concerned, it used the app's where necessary
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:09 TommyO mandys: sorry, I thought you were talking solely about unit testing
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:09 TommyO oh I see. hmmm.
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys and it doesn't create the views directory under app/tests/
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys not web testing
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys the caketest examples are all for unit testing
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys i just am confused whether to use caketest or cakewebtest for web page testing
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys i even wrote sample tests
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys and run tests
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys i can view /tests.php
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys i have setup everything
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 mandys TommyO: i am passed that stage
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:06 TommyO *let
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:06 TommyO your app will have a url that will elt you run the core tests and your custom app tests
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:05 TommyO mandys: then look into how the core tests are written to write tests for your own app
# Aug 7th 2008, 14:04 TommyO mandys: bake an app skeleton and it will bake the proper test directory structure for you. bake a model and it bakes the model test file skeleton for you, etc
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:58 mandys anyone on my question?
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:57 ethanm is there a way to specify that?
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:57 ethanm I am providing $form->input with an array of $options that are numerically indexed, but the form helper doesn't preserve the keys when it makes a select box
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:56 mandys or should they be under controllers?
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:45 darkangel Hi. If you are using a multi-select box for a HABTM, and therefore the field name is Category.Category, for example, where do you perform the validation? As a 'Category' validation rule in the Category model?
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:44 jaredhoyt beatzombies: the easiest way to perform that in the controller is add if(empty($this->data)) { $this->data = load some data here ... } else { process submitted data }
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:37 beatzombies jaredhoyt: wait, so when i reference ContributorsItem as in $form->checkbox('ContributorsItem.contributed'); what does cakephp look at to get that value?
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:36 beatzombies jaredhoyt: thanks, ill definitely be back with more questions
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:36 beatzombies jaredhoyt: alright, i see i need to think about this some more
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 jaredhoyt you're view variables are lost ;)
# Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 jaredhoyt beatzombies: when you hit submit, only form data is passed into the controller action
