# Aug 9th 2008, 08:06 TheBig I've a user registration form, in case of success of registration you go to a page which contains a form for inviting people by mail
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:06 Wisp hello all
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:05 lqdice__ im asking what you are doing because you are probably reinventing the wheel
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:05 lqdice__ TheBig: are you making like a wizard?
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:05 TheBig and then check (and unset) at the second page...
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:05 kamalcom yes, the difference, is that the edit view contain a hidden input named id
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:04 TheBig lqdice__, it works fine, in user register, i make $this->Session->write('invite.allow', true');
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:04 [TSK] lqdice__: Ah. So, it WAS as simple as I'd thought, just not the exact means to go about it that I had thought from looking at the API docs. TYVM. :)
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:04 lqdice__ the add/edit view can be almost identical w/ the exception of the id field
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:04 lqdice__ [TSK]: $this->render('edit')
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:01 [TSK] Hi. I remember reading somewhere about re-using the edit view for the add action, but I cannot for the life of me find any information on this anymore. I suspected that it might be something simple like setting $this->view = "edit" in the add action, but that errors out, so I'm guessing that might not be it after all. So, my question is simply this. How do I choose an alternate view template other than the default from a particular ac
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:00 lqdice__ is it form submission?
# Aug 9th 2008, 08:00 lqdice__ what are you trying to do ?
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:58 TheBig So the best way is use session, of cuorse...
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:58 lqdice__ refer is a header sent by the client
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:57 NetersLandreau TheBig: initial research proves lqdice__ is correct.. do not trust referring page as reported by apache
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:57 kamalcom Hi francky06l
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:57 TheBig I've a registration page, after that you can invite people... Would like to prevent people using that page for spamming
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:56 francky06l Hi bakers
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:56 TheBig NetersLandreau, yes, is that what i'd like
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:54 Anon323 I have a form, one input. Saving to database works. Now I want to save the datetime in the database, but not having an datetime input field. how can I manipulate $this->data to add the datetime?
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:54 NetersLandreau hmm.. i guess i need to do some research on how apache sets the refering page.. i didn't realize you could fake it
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:52 cl0s_ yes true
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:52 lqdice__ otherwise they can go page1.. some other page.. page2 and it still works
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:51 lqdice__ but to guarantee they are coming from page1 you also need to unset the key if they go anywhere else
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:51 cl0s_ page1 - set the session... page2- check for the session if not there redirect to page 1 else execute code, delete the session..
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:51 lqdice__ there is very little you can do to guarantee that one page was sent from another.. what are you trying to do exactly?
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:49 cl0s_ yea i think a session would work best there.. but again thats not gauranteed..
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:49 lqdice__ its not guaranteed.. its sent by the user.. they can fake it and some browsers dont require sending it
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:48 lqdice__ refererr should not be used like that
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:48 NetersLandreau TheBig: check the referrer and only allow certain ones?
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:47 lqdice__ TheBig: its hard to guarantee that
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:47 TheBig btw, can I restrict the access to a page only if reached by an other page?
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:47 lqdice__ good morning :)
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:46 TheBig zeen. I was in doubt what I was able to use session only when logged, but simply I was storing empty data... :( me idiot :)
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:26 zeen punish me if i'm doing bad :)
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:25 zeen should be in there about sessions
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:23 TheBig like writing them in sessios, for example...
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:23 TheBig not using post or get
# Aug 9th 2008, 07:22 TheBig how can I pass arguments form a page to another?
# Aug 9th 2008, 06:48 zeen guess i can just add something to libs
