there might be something in the paginator though that will let you change the limits in the pagination links, but i'm not sure ;) |

jaredhoyt: makes sense. shoulld have thought of that. thanks :) |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:36 |
jaredhoyt |
i don't think it's setup to just change the limits on different pages automatically |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:36 |
jaredhoyt |
infantigniter: then i'd imagine you'd have you to do a check on the 'page' param and set the $paginate variable on the fly accordingly |

teknoid, so in otherwords, I was unable to group order the condensed results |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:35 |
CrazyTux[m] |
teknoid, I wasnt able to get the ORDER BY RAND(), and LIMIT 5, THEN ORDER alphabetical effect |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:34 |
infantigniter |
jaredhoyt: but i already have my paginate var set to limit 5. the limit should CHANGE to 20 upon clicking the "next" button. feel me? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:34 |
teknoid |
CrazyTux[m]: find('all', array('order'=>'rand()', 'limit'=>5)); you can probably figure out the rest |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:34 |
jaredhoyt |
infantigniter: var $paginate in your controller |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:33 |
infantigniter |
ie, where to put an option such as "limit" and "offset", if that's possible. the API is hard to read about this |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:33 |
CrazyTux[m] |
teknoid, the SQL bit using find |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:33 |
infantigniter |
i have my $paginate far set up so that it limits 5 for the first find, which is what I want. but i want it to start showing 20 per page once the user clicks the "next" button. i know i will probably have to create my own "next" link, but does anybody know how to go aobut this specifically |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:33 |
teknoid |
CrazyTux[m]: which part? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:30 |
CrazyTux[m] |
Alright guys, I'm giving in, and getting rid of MainController |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:29 |
CrazyTux[m] |
teknoid, care to shed some light |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:29 |
teknoid |
CrazyTux[m]: that's accomplished pretty easily with find() |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:29 |
TommyO |
if you HAVE to (and you don't) you'd make a custom model method and do it in there |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:28 |
TommyO |
CrazyTux[m]: for 1 thing it NEVER belongs in a controller |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:28 |
CrazyTux[m] |
TommyO, Cake, could not easily acomplish this simple SQL task AFAIK. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:28 |
CrazyTux[m] |
TommyO, whats ugly about the SQL? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:28 |
teknoid |
CrazyTux[m]: well, that's not a correct approach (most likely) in this case |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:27 |
TommyO |
it's gonna be 20 minutes of fixes before we even get to the ugly sql code on line 20. ughh |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:27 |
teknoid |
CrazyTux[m]: what exactly does your main/home page accompish? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:27 |
CrazyTux[m] |
teknoid, well thats why I decided on a seperate controller? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:27 |
teknoid |
CrazyTux[m]: that's for you to decide... |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:27 |
CrazyTux[m] |
or anything else that relates. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:27 |
CrazyTux[m] |
TommyO, so why throw it in Conditions Controller, over Therapies |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:27 |
CrazyTux[m] |
TommyO, well, so does conditions. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
TommyO |
well, could |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
TommyO |
it does directly relate |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
TommyO |
why have so many models in $uses when you only need one? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
CrazyTux[m] |
even though the main page, does not directly relate, to controller X, or controller Y, yet you guys say throw a method in there, and route it to that, inside of a pre-existing controller? |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
TommyO |
I don't think you should. but set that aside for now |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
CrazyTux[m] |
So I should not create a seperate controller for the main page |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
TommyO |
and the key is in the phrase "best known practices" |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:26 |
TommyO |
*very |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:25 |
TommyO |
CrazyTux[m]: the "why?" means "why deviate from best known practices?" "why not?" therefore would mean "why not deviate?" which has a ver obvious answer to it. |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:24 |
TommyO |
and here you wouldn't need more than 1 model in it |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:24 |
teknoid |
CrazyTux[m]: because you are bending rules, loading extra objects and setting yourself for problems down the road (if you don't do things correctly to begin with) |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:24 |
TommyO |
CrazyTux[m]: in any case $uses is an override. you wouldn't need it if you used one of the real controllers |
| # |
Aug 8th 2008, 14:24 |
CrazyTux[m] |
TommyO, ok now your confusing me :) |
