# Apr 13th 2010, 20:12 savant one hell of an itch i picked to scratch
# Apr 13th 2010, 20:11 savant scratching an itch
# Apr 13th 2010, 20:11 Predominant savant: I understand :-)
# Apr 13th 2010, 20:11 Predominant Ahh
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:39 savant the only reason im doing this is because I want to get it to a point where I can add spam protection so I stop getting comment spam emails
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:38 savant that was my plan all along. why, am I going to be upset about what was actually planned?
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:35 savant at least that is my intention
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:35 savant with like actual 1.3 conventions
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:35 savant im making the existing bakery work completely in 1.3
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:34 Predominant I'm sorry, savant. Are you porting the existing bakery, for some reason?
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:34 savant so I dont know what is happening
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:33 savant and, well, the actual db has a 255 character field for the password
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:33 savant I mean, AuthComponent does hashing by default to 40 chars
# Apr 13th 2010, 19:33 savant so ummm, since Im going to change this all to AuthComponent, do I get to see my actual password?
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:58 savant that was a fun bug to trace and fix
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:58 savant another, intermittent, issue was the bbcode formatter breaking when there was a large incoming bit of encoded code. for whatever reason the regex just breaks completely in 5.3.1 when there are large bits. not sure why, but I solved it by storing the unencoded code in an array and then replacing it with a hash of that code before encoding/decoding
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:54 savant lots of the code is still yucky (using a custom Model::read() function) but it looks like it works and can be refactored
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:54 savant I have gotten it to the point where most (all?) public actions work. I haven't tested commenting, but theoretically that works as well
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:53 savant im just trying to stay away from building custom components or using outside plugins
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:50 savant unfortunately this is not available in 1.2.x or 1.3
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:50 savant and then tell the AuthComponent to use that whenever it tries to Authenticate a user
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:50 savant ideally, i could specify a function in my User model, say User::login()
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:49 savant which is okay, but the AuthComponent doesn't allow one to override HOW the user is found
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:49 savant well the way the bakery works, it pulls in data from related models
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 PhpNut savant: you talking about return $this->Session->read('User'); ?
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 savant im just hesitant to use plugins outside of the CakePHP core, like Authsome instead of AuthComponent
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 PhpNut I wrote most of the user model code
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 savant haha
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 savant i got hacky and added in replacements to functions in the AppModel, so most of it works now (I've not touched the admin functions) but I want to remove all of it
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 PhpNut btw I did not write that code :)
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 Predominant Sorry about the delay there
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:48 Predominant savant: I'll get this stuff together for you now.
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:47 savant but it breaks all over the place in 1.3
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:47 savant the bakery runs mostly fine in 1.2.x
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:47 savant PhpNut: yeah I saw. it took me a while to realize that
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:46 PhpNut there are different levels of users in the bakery
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:46 Predominant Perhaps your frustrations / issues, savant, could be channeled into productive discussion about architecture, rather than bitching about it on Twitter.
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:45 savant feel free to do so, my code is in the remaster branch at github.com/josegonzalez/bakery
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:45 PhpNut auth was not in 1.0 ;)
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:45 savant yes no problem
# Apr 13th 2010, 18:45 PhpNut I might just take time to review some of your current code and release my anguish of it on twitter, you like that idea? :)
