Re: Cakephp 2.x best practice when adding/editing content?

Hi Mark.. 

- Setting validation errors to view to display them in an element => You need to correct: Error message 1, Error message 2, Error message 3 => Need it ;)

- __('some text', true) => For translation strings, not sure why I started to use the TRUE, but I think it is because of not beeing able to only have __('some text') inside the strings (Suggestion??)

And for the validation Redundancy ? what exactly do you mean? 

I am validating in models => and pushing messages to the view (not using the error => true on my form fields, all are set to false and display the validation messages in element as explained before.

And regarding baking.. Have never used it..  =) Any good tutorials on it? I need to use terminal right? 

I am developing on my development VPS server, not local, but have terminal access.. 

Thanks for your time!

-Tom

for starters, take out the validation redundancy

why setting the errors to the view? also not necessary 

also, in 2.x your __() looks differently (arguments usually are not "true" but replacement strings)

why dont you use baking? it would display a better output than you currently have

Yes, I understand what you are doing :) 

Have a couple of those myself.. 

But my question is (perhaps not clear enough), the best practice for a function like add and edit.

I am thinking about:

if ($this->request->is('post')) {

$this->User->set($this->request->data);

if ($this->User->validates()) {

++++

Those things inside the function. Like,, what approach/setup would you use on cake 2.x to talk with the db and make things happen :)

I am just wondering if I am doing it 100% correct, as I can not find any good tutorials on it anywhere..

Here is my add function as is today, any pointers?

public function admin_add() {

$this->set('title_for_layout', __('Add new role',true));

if ($this->request->is('post')) {

$this->Role->set($this->request->data);

if ($this->Role->validates()) {

    if ($this->Role->save($this->request->data)) {

$this->Session->setFlash(__('New role created.',true), 'admin/flash/success');

                $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));

} else {

$this->Session->setFlash(__('Could not create role, please try again.',true), 'admin/flash/error');

}

} else {

// Didn't validate

}

}

$this->set('errors', $this->Role->validationErrors);

}

i use a single method, add/edit even if is user or admin, the difference between add/edit is that on edit you have the ID set, or in parameter or in $this->data

admin_editpost($id = null){

       if(is_null($id){

           //something

       }

}

i guess you understand

Hi all..

I am in the process of migrate one of my apps fra 1.3 to cakephp 2.x  and I am wondering, what are the best practices for the new framework?
AND YES, I have read the documents/book :)

I am just wondering how you do it, so I can compare my work and see if I am heading in the right direction with my app.

So if anyone could give me an idea about a couple simple add/edit functions, and how the best practice for this, I would appreciate it :)

like:

admin_users_add() {
}

admin_users_edit() {
}

and other regular functions you might have an example for.

Thanks all!
Awesome!

-Tom
