# Aug 8th 2008, 08:46 ammadsaleem1 each has it in its scorecard
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:46 ammadsaleem1 2000 players have attempted a question in a quiz
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:46 tbranyen_ over 10k records i would consider massive
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:45 tbranyen_ that doesn't seem very massive
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:45 ammadsaleem1 we have shared hosting plus we want the results to be real time
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:45 ammadsaleem1 the Quiz maker updates the answer of the question, then all the player who have attempted the question, their scores get recalculated
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:44 pgcd_away tommy0: thanks
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:44 TommyO or scheduler
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:44 TommyO ammadsaleem1: sounds like the work of a cron job
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:44 tbranyen_ Because the former is a horrible idea and the latter can be done by just adding a script to the rc local or windows startup
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:43 tbranyen_ whenever someone hits the site or whenever the server starts?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:43 tbranyen_ ammadsaleem1 a mass database update when?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:43 ammadsaleem1 ?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:43 ammadsaleem1 can cake help me in this regard
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:43 TommyO pgcd_away: $this->model()
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:43 TommyO pgcd_away: see Helper class, which all helpers, including your, inherits. it has a model() method
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:42 ammadsaleem1 ?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:42 ammadsaleem1 is there any other solution to the probelm
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:41 ammadsaleem1 since it may cause script time out, so i am going for threading
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:41 ammadsaleem1 The thing I want to carry out is to perform a mass database update
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:39 pgcd_away of course, i might resort to good old foreach, if needed
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:39 TommyO it is stateless
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:39 TommyO ammadsaleem1: do you understand PHP? the application starts on each new visit and ends when the page is returned to the client
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:39 pgcd_away I tried using $this->data in the helper, but the fields are grouped by model, and I'd like to avoid having to use model names in the helper...
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:38 ammadsaleem1 no just when the appliction on the Server starts
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:38 pgcd_away if i have a helper that sets default values for fields with a certain name (in any model), what's the best way to make sure the defaults don't overwrite the actual values when they are available?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:37 TheBig in which you can use standard functions as beforeFilter() and so on...
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:36 TheBig anyway you should work in AppController
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:36 TheBig ammadsaleem1, at any access?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:36 ammadsaleem1 any suggestions
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:36 ammadsaleem1 no basically I want to run a thread whenever cakePHP site runs
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:32 TommyO ammadsaleem1: by 'function' you mean which action you're in? where are you when you want to figure this out?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:29 ammadsaleem1 I want to find out which function is call edd by CakePHP at application start?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:23 ammadsaleem1 I want to find out which function is call edd by CakePHP at application start?
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:18 freebox2 like: <?php echo $form->text('username', array('class' => 'users','label' => 'Insert your username')); ?>
# Aug 8th 2008, 08:18 freebox2 have a "label" for input?
