Re: blog tutorial errors

I highly recommend you to become familiar with basic php http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php, http://php.net/manual/en/ and object oriented programming (OOP) in php http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php first. Sure you can learn php and OOP using CakePHP but this will be a very hard way.

CakePHP makes use of OOP and some so called design patterns like MVC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern

Hello Matt

Thanks for the suggestion.   Can you give me a link to something simpler ?  I am really struggling to understand how cakePHP works, coming from a raw HTML (with minimal javascript) background.     As you suggest, I would like to start up simple and then progress to more complicated models once I can see how the simple stuff works.

Regards

Hello Lorne,

Might I suggest working on something that is simpler for the moment?  Something that doesn't require both core app logic *and* auth code.  Back off.  Find something that isn't so meaty and ease into it.  Failing that, try to implement this blog tutorial without the auth component and then start over (yes over -- you'll benefit from solving the same problems with different eyes) with it.

Good luck!

Matt

Hello John !

Thanks for responding.   My major problem seems to be interpreting the tutorial properly and not making typo errors.  The tutorial neglected to mention that <?php tags should enclose some of the samples.   I have made some progress since yesterday but still have not got the authorization stuff completely coded.

I was hoping someone on the list might have accomplished a clean installation and would be willing to share their work.

I will keep working at this and perhaps post later if I encounter more problems.   I think there might be some design problems in part one of the tutorial on how
the flow between various screens works but I will hold off detailing that "problem" until I get the authorization part "completed".

A download of the completed working code sure would have been nice !

Can I understand you correctly, that there are no actual error in the blog tutorial, just that it gives you grief?

If I am mistaken, please be so kind and explain to us, how you experience the error? How far have you got in the tutorial? What is not displayed correctly? ... and provide screenshots if possible.

Thanks in advance
Enjoy, John

Hello !

I am a new user to cakePHP (version 2.6.0-RC1) and am attempting to learn by tutorial.

The blog tutorial at http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog/part-two.html is giving me grief in that it does not display as expected.

Does anyone have a properly working example who would be willing to send me copies of the following files ?

/app/Config/routes.php
/app/view/Posts/edit.ctp
/app/view/Posts/add.ctp
/app/view/Posts/index.ctp
/app/view/Posts/view.ctp
/app/Controller-PostsController.php
/app/Model/Post.php
