| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:07 | pyite | markstory: that's ok, it's important. maybe you can point me to a doc i can read more about? |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:07 | markstory | you need to make /find an xml datasource. |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:07 | pyite | markstory: i agree. i am intending to make, if i can not find |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:08 | pyite | mark: but in making one i want to preserve functionality within cake that is usually reliant on knowing the DB schema. Such as auto-generation of form fields, where cake "knows" what type of field is in a form |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:08 | pyite | essentially i believe this requires making one's own model... |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:08 | pyite | or database type within the model i guess |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:08 | Matt1 | pyite: why are you doing that ? |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:08 | markstory | well if it has to supplant all the model database functions. you need to make an xml datasource. |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:09 | pyite | Matt: i am using Cake to create a set of libraries/APIs that interface with a program that stores it's configs in XML. |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:09 | markstory | probably better and easier to have a db table, that can be transformed into xml if need be. |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:09 | pyite | Matt: I want others to be able to use my softtware to make their own programs, so they should not need to have any knowledge of the changes i've made to the db layer theoretically |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:09 | Matt1 | pyite: I would agree with markstory |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:09 | pyite | the key is that the software must remain relatively light as it is going onto an embedded processor chip in a small device (256MB memory) |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:10 | markstory | and your using php / apache? |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:10 | pyite | Matt: I would too :-) if i didn't have the limitation of not having enough room to have a mysql or other instance running |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:10 | markstory | sqlite? |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:10 | pyite | mark: it is php w/ another http engine, yes. |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:10 | pyite | mark: yeah, that was my "fallback" plan |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:10 | pyite | still wish i could just generate XML and use it as-if it was a DB... |
| # | Aug 9th 2008, 17:10 | pyite | poop |
