# Oct 6th 2016, 16:20 nemmons @hmic oh, i see. I guess i don't understand the code base well enough yet to see how beforeFilter is relevant to my question. I'll keep reading.
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:18 hmic still: even though this is a mess, it has for sure not been changed since 3.0, so not since may - 2015!
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:18 hmic which are run on completely different times
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:17 hmic nemmons: i am talking about the beforeFilter callback and event
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:17 nemmons @hmic Thank you but I'm sorry, I'm not sure i understand what you mean here. $controller->startupProcess is called which dispatches the Controller.initialize and Controller.startup events, After the controller action is invoked, $controller->render is called which dispatches the beforeRender event.
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:16 hmic the solution to your problem is using an iframe and echoing the html in there - you might need to utilize js to get this done easily.
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:15 hmic julez, so you echoed it out already? - yes this breakes the whole thing. as you have a complete <html> page in there. this is one of the reasons i said you might want to only render the element.
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:14 hmic i am quite sure nothing in this sequence or names has changed since may.
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:14 hmic the controller starup sequence is quite a mess regarding the names of events and callbacks!
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:13 hmic nemmons: you need to distinguish between the callbacks and events
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:13 nemmons (For background, Footprint is working great in my app in general but it's not working for my Users table. I think it's because UsersTable is initialized in AppController::initialize but i'm trying to prove that to myself and determine a workaround)
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:12 hmic passing it already? without you doing anything to it? whats in the logs? oom?
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:12 slackebot definitely called before Controller::beforeRender().. Is it possible this has changed since May when you said this, or am i horribly misreading this code?
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:12 nemmons @admad if you have a second i'm wondering if you could clarify a statement you made regarding a closed Muffin/Footprint issue (https://github.com/UseMuffin/Footprint/issues/13>).. I came across it while trying to debug a problem I had. "A table initialized in Controller::beforeRender() won't get the footprint since AuthComponent::startup() has still not run." Looking in Http/ActionDispatcher-_invoke() it looks to me like component startup me
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:10 hmic good luck! feel free to ask for help
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:04 hmic so as i said: basically replace the cake folder with the new one and give it a shot
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:04 hmic additionally this sentence, the first one of the migration guide: "CakePHP 2.5 is a fully API compatible upgrade from 2.4"
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:03 hmic just run your testsuite
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:02 hmic you should really give it a try and dont hide after the unknown codebase and size - and time constraits and so on :p
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:01 hmic as you can see, its quite good. it tells about things that have changed and are common pitfalls to look out for and about new things that might be handy too
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:01 hmic follow the things mentioned in there. then go on till you hit a problem
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:00 hmic thats it. you start with 2.4 -> 2.5 of course
# Oct 6th 2016, 16:00 hmic there is actually!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:59 Neon1024 Hah
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:58 hmic if you want it upgraded faster, tell me the url, i'd see if a known security vulnarablity makes your decision makers want to upgrade it :p
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:57 hmic not that this would be enough :p but its far better then the 2.4 thing already
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:57 hmic upgrade to 2.6 should be a drop-in, really!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:56 hmic 2.6 should be just a drop-in upgrade. from there you might get the one or the other warning of things you need to fix actually
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:55 hmic upgrade!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:54 hmic still: i'd just render the email element instead!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:54 hmic just assign it to a viewvar to render in the view later!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:54 hmic so you've got the html and text data in the array - hurray!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:52 hmic dont create the actual email at all! just render the email element inside your "preview" view
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:52 hmic you can quite easily render the email element in any view, if you set the same viewvars before!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:50 hmic you *cannot* easily extract this of the already ready to send mail with a custom transport anymore!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:50 dereuromark @admad Almost perfectly working, after logout I always need to flush the profiles table, though: $this->Users->SocialProfiles->deleteAll(['user_id' => $this->Auth->user('id')]); Otherwise re-login fails
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:49 hmic so in case of your email, if you render the html element, you get this in return. just set it as a viewvar
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:49 hmic julez, if you render a view, it will return you exactly that. - the rendered view!
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:48 hmic why dont you upgrade this ancient version to a decent 2.x release?
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:09 dereuromark Most answers are given looking at the awesome list :slightly_smiling_face:
# Oct 6th 2016, 15:07 titans thanks
