gellin: what's your question? |

optimator: if you can't find a plugin that meets your requirements. then the helper approach (putting the library in app/lib) is a good one. |

Can someone please help me with a, seemingly simple AND/OR condition, I can't seem to get it right |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:59 |
optimator |
oh - there was one that used google, but I need to to not use a public website |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:58 |
optimator |
no! but I'm sooo new I'm not sure I'd know how to make it work |

optimator: are you sure there's not already a cake plugin for this? |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:57 |

the helper will just be a kind of shim to direct the calls to the library |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:57 |
optimator |
sweet. thanks |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:57 |

then include it in your helper with App::uses() |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:56 |

optimator: put it in app/Lib |

todds: so where would I put the qr include directory if I'm using a view helper? |
| # |

Is anyone here that will help me with a, and/or condition statement |

ten1: derp -- sorry, I thought you meant use the shell to trigger the curl call rather than requestAction(). |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:53 |
ten1 |
todds: requestAction() wouldn't hit the web stack |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:53 |
todds |
cool, it'll probably end up inside a view helper or element then. |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:51 |
optimator |
it renders a qr code as a png |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:51 |
todds |
depends on what the file does. what does it do? |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:50 |
optimator |
the file isn't a cake MVC |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:50 |
optimator |
hey - I'm new to cake, I have a php file I want to include. Where/how do i do that in the view? |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:48 |
todds |
lol, the shell is just more unecessary overhead if he is gonna go through the web stack anyway. I mean the situation is jacked, but i think it's probably the best approachâ?¦if a re-write is out of the question, that is. |

why always the assumption that coders are guys? 'night all. |

Jan 29th 2014, 20:47 |

ACTION shrugs |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:47 |

but if he has the shell... |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:47 |

freakin ten1â?¦. :-P |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:47 |

...or that :/ |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:46 |

instead of calling cake from cron you'll just do a curl call to your web app |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:46 |
nif |
i will. thanks! and thanks for all the advice. |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:46 |

lol |

requestAction() being made from pure clarified Satan and not to be used except by the brave, bold, needful, and exceptionally stupid |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:46 |
todds |
nif: just do the curl call. |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:45 |

requestAction() should be possible, in anything that extends Object |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:45 |
nif |
except the curl option? |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:45 |

...it's either a) fix the problem, or b) figure out how to solve the maze you've constructed |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:44 |

ya, but you're looking for an answer that doesn't really exist |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:44 |

see previous comment |

ok. i get that. can we move on from it? awareness of it has been there for a while, but like i said, low budget, no time and learning a new framework all contributed to this. everyone has to start somewhere, otherwise they may never reach those higher places where they get to tell other people how they screwed up. but i have a deadline and i have to get this working. next time i will do better |

it would be compounding error with worse error |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:43 |

ya...you basically asking a question that can't really be answered..."how do I make my poorly written code do this?"...and expecting a simple answer in return |
| # |
Jan 29th 2014, 20:43 |
ten1 |
you could try a requestAction, and may whatever powers govern code have mercy on you |
| # |

I wish there was some answer that would make things okay here, but you have screwed up very badly |
