# Aug 14th 2009, 16:22 markstory most do
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:21 ADmad i just go with 1.0
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:20 markstory not like xhtml 1.1 ever worked.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:20 ADmad until that new road is fully paved and ready to tread i will stick to my dead end
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:19 markstory xhtml5 lives on!
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:18 ADmad give an option, yes would like that.. go back, i would say no
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:16 alkemann since we are sorta on the issue, can we make the helper go back to html4strict?
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:16 poLK I dislike mozilla way how they hacked view class
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:16 markstory need another map var.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:16 markstory poLK: that setup conflicts with passing params to helpers.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:16 alkemann u tell cake to put a different class instance in $html variable, but intention is that this new helper extends the one one expects to be there?
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:16 poLK declared to use in controller by $helpers = array('Html' => 'Canonical', 'Form', ...);
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:15 poLK alkemann: no, to overwrite meta() method in CanonicalHelper extending HtmlHelper, and then use it from views like $html->meta('canonical')
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:13 alkemann to add one method to do one line of code?
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:13 poLK I still think this way for replacing core helpers would be sweet
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:13 alkemann i dont think that helper is a reasonable solution to this issue. poLK gave two much better using the existing html helper
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:12 poLK (time to chat about ... again'
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:12 poLK markstory: probably time to chat about var $helpers = array('Html' => 'Canonical'); (class CanonicalHelper extends HtmlHelper, and then $html->meta('canonical'))
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:10 markstory but making a helper is a reasonable solution.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:09 poLK +1
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:08 markstory well I think the article is fine as it, making a separate helper is a bit overkill, you can do it with HtmlHelper right now, just not as nice.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:06 alkemann so get the patch in and tell the guy to rewrite the article as a tutorial? linking to the commit for people that cant wait
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:03 markstory right.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 alkemann the words "just" and "to" makes a big difference in that sentence ;)
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 markstory which I've been doing as I find them.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 markstory just have to document the options.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 markstory nuh uh.
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:02 alkemann well yea, except this sort of api gets hidden in the Api
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:01 markstory yeah
# Aug 14th 2009, 16:00 poLK I would prefer extension of meta, it uses hardcoded array $types (rss/atom/icon/keywords/description) already
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:59 markstory but flexiblity is nice.
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:59 markstory me neither.
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:59 alkemann can think of a case where you would want to, but sure ;)
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:59 markstory $url can be used to override Router::url() or something.
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:58 markstory html->meta('canonical')
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:58 alkemann if u prefer
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:58 markstory or an extension of meta()
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:57 alkemann i dont see why it couldnt be a matter of echo $html->canon(); view and helper knows the current url and can ask router for the correct url
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:56 markstory alkemann: so some sort of method that makes canonical links for the current url>
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:55 alkemann because of /pages/home and /
# Aug 14th 2009, 15:55 alkemann i got this on my website's public layout : <link rel="canonical" href="http://illustrata.no<?php echo $html->url(); ?>">
