# Sep 21st 2011, 15:32 ujjain Can you use this->set for same variable name multiple times?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:31 Oldskool Hey guys, I have a forum in my Cake app under /app/webroot/forum, which functions just fine, but I was wondering if there is a simple way to have the URL's to show just /forum, instead of redirecting to /app/webroot/forum/ as it does now.
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:29 jbaanus franki: you can do UNION manually - makes sorting easier
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:28 friskd but not sure how to make what would be a redirect (HTML) become a json response with "user is not logged in"
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:27 jbaanus franki: then just merge in PHP... sorting is pita tho :)
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:27 friskd i want to have auth enabled.
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:27 franki yea i thought about it too but i cant really touch the db
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:27 friskd Is there a way to have the Auth component work nicely nicely with a RESTful api
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:26 jbaanus or create a view in database that merges results from both databases and create a new Model for that View - fake a database table )
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:25 ADmad Oleander: anyways, setting the post_type_id in beforeSave is the proper way of doing it
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:25 franki oki
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:25 franki aaah
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:25 jbaanus and then merge the results
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:25 jbaanus franki: create a new controller and make it use both models
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:25 ADmad franki: no, each request is handled by single controller, but you can use multiple models in a controller
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:24 franki or whatever was called..default.ctp
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:24 franki should i use home.ctp?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:24 jbaanus franki: I can't see why not
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:23 Oleander I just throught cake could get post_type_id in save if i specified a condition
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:23 ADmad Oleander: so how are you going to decide what post type to use?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:23 Oleander becuase the user isnt selecting the post type
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:23 franki if i have 2 distict controllers and 2 models for 2 tables of same db,is it possible to have 1 single webpage which gives results from both controllers?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:23 ADmad whats wrong with the standard way to putting a select box for the post types on the form
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:22 ADmad and what parameter are you gonna use to retrieve it dynamically?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:21 Oleander well i didnt want to have it in form. i wanted to retrieve it dynamically, im new to cake and thought perhaps this is how you do it. if not i can put it in form.
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:21 ADmad sounds liek you have a Post belongsTo PostType so why don't you have the post_type_id in form itself?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:20 ADmad Oleander: well i dont know your models, but yes
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:19 Oleander Admad: that would mean i need to query PostType before save to find the id of the type i want to save Post as, yes?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:17 ADmad Oleander: if $data is the var you are passing to model->save() you can set $data['Foo']['post_type_id'] = x
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:14 Oleander when saving a post, i need to set post_type_id, do i only have two options. 1. set post_type_id in form as hidden value, or get find post_type_id in model before save? Is it possible for cake when saving to find the id $this->data['Post'Type]['name'] = 'foo' ?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:14 jbaanus I might have had a typo in the model variable then
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:14 jbaanus ah, nice, it does support it
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:13 ADmad jbaanus: https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/1.3/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_postgres.php#L275
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:10 ADmad )
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:10 jbaanus Actually it was just easier to alter sequence name
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:09 jbaanus Model has primary key (ID usually) and PostgreSQL has sequence for it. When it is automatically created, the the sequence name is usually table_id_seq. I have a differently named sequence but Cake does not recognise it
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:08 ADmad jbaanus: you mean primary key?
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:06 Oleander hey
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:04 jbaanus Can I define custom sequence for a Model's key field (PostgreSQL)
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:02 daVinciWanaB i've asked 4 or 5 questions in here and gotten half of one answer, and been ridiculed 3 times
# Sep 21st 2011, 15:01 daVinciWanaB i can't believe how unhelpful this room is - it's kind of amazing
