How to manage HABTM that is reflexive?

I have a table of users, and I want to make links between users, so
each user can have links to one or more other users. I can't see,
however, how to set this up in Cake. The linking table has two fields
that link to the Users table, but how to I create the correct model?

Re: Search Engine Bots Generating Strange Queries

Hi Mike,

Disallowing that in your robots.txt is a waste of time.

The robots.txt file was started by Google, and is not an officially
supported feature of all crawlers. So they don't have to follow it,
and I can tell you this doesn't sound like the google bot anyway,
because that bot doesn't generate phantom URIs.

Web crawlers can extract URIs from many different sources, and they
can generate URIs as they see fit. URIs can come from HTML, CSS, SWF,
JavaScript, and form post/get actions. I've even seen crawlers submit
post requests to generate more URIs to crawl.

Crawlers will also clean URIs removing ids, changing queries, fake
cookies, and sometimes rotate their IP address.

There are no rules about crawlers, no guidelines they have to follow,
or limits on how long they will crawl or how aggressively they will
request URIs from your server.

You should modify your Routes to point to a 404 if they request paths
that you don't want them to see.

Re: Test Suite and HABTM Models - Not Working

Thanks Anupom,

That got me past the missing table cake errors, but now 2/3 of the
tests that cake generated are failing.

Here is my post.test.php

App::import('Model', 'Post');

class PostTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
var $Post = null;
var $fixtures = array('app.post');

function start() {
parent::start();
$this->Post = & ClassRegistry::init('Post');
}

function testPostInstance() {
$this->assertTrue(is_a($this->Post, 'Post'));
}

function testPostFind() {
$results = $this->Post->recursive = -1;
$results = $this->Post->find('first');
$this->assertTrue(!empty($results));

$expected = array('Post' => array(
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet'
));
$this->assertEqual($results, $expected);
}
}

The two cases that fail both reference testPostFind(). After a little
poking around, $this->Post->find('first') does not return anything at
all. The sql queries insert my data from the fixture and truncate it 3
times before finally dropping the tables. However, the query that I
believe is being generated from find('first') is being run on my
default connection, as opposed to the test connection. Shouldn't this
query be run on the test database since that's where the dummy data is
being inserted?

Any help is appreciated.

Re: Jquery or Scriptalicious?

I perfer jQuery as well.
Many Bakers like prototype due to the javascript and ajax helpers that
come with CakePHP.
These make baking with JS quite a bit easier, not to mention faster
however many Javascript experts would cringe to think that developers
are using php helpers for the behavioral portion of their sites
because the scripts are no longer unobtrusive.

jQuery is very easy to learn and uses many of the same selectors that
CSS 2 and 3 use making it incredibly easy to develop around.
However, if you require a JS helper there is a jQuery helper for
CakePHP called pQuery.
http://www.ngcoders.com/php/pquery-php-and-jquery

If not then spend some time at the jQuery API and read through the
tutorials.
http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page

I love jQuery.

Re: Fatal error Call to undefined method Controller Html()

> <?php echo $html->link('Activate account',
> array('controller'=>'users', 'action' => 'activate', $userid); ?>

^
it's missing a close bracket here ---------------------------------^

anyway:

> Is there a way the above can be used to print out an absolute url ?

$html->link('Activate account', $html-
>url(array('controller'=>'users', 'action' => 'activate', $userid),
true));
or
$html->link('Activate account',
Helper::url(array('controller'=>'users', 'action' => 'activate',
$userid), true));
or
$html->link('Activate account',
Router::url(array('controller'=>'users', 'action' => 'activate',
$userid), true));

-the boring explanation:
you can use Router::url/Helper::url passing true as the second param
to get the full route out of the url you passed in the first param.
in case you ever extend Helper::url on AppHelper, use $html->url()
to use the overrided method.

LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST,
CakePHP has documentation and API specifications that cover this
feature, please refer to http://api.cakephp.org and http://manual.cakephp.org
as often as possible to get in touch with all the features, power and
might and magic of CakePHP.

Re: Fatal error Call to undefined method Controller Html()

Try putting 'full_base' => true to your url array.

I haven't tried this myself, but if I'm reading the source right, it
should work.

Hope that helps!

Re: Fatal error Call to undefined method Controller Html()

<?php echo $html->link('Activate account',
array('controller'=>'users', 'action' => 'activate', $userid); ?>

The above works perfect except the fact that it is not the absolute

$userid by the way is a raw parameter which I want to pass to an
action

Is there a way the above can be used to print out an absolute url ?

Thanks again

Re: Post Data

Maybe if I explain what I am doing better. Basically, I have a form
that asks for a birthday. We do not want the users to feel
uncomfortable by asking for thier year of birth so I have two drop
down boxes, one for the month (<select name='PostDobmonth'
id='PostDobmonth'>) and one for the year (<select name='PostDobday' id
= 'PostDobday' >). Then since the DB field is a date, I and creating
a default year by doing this:

$this->data['Customer']['dob'] = '1901'.$this-
>form['PostDobmonth'].'-'.$_POST['PostDobday'];

What is the correct format or way to use the form help and dropdown
boxes like this?

Thanks

Re: Fatal error Call to undefined method Controller Html()

Helpers are not meant to be used in a controller, they are used in
your views/layouts/elements.

Could it be that you also have a component called Captcha? If you do,
that's the reason why $this->Captcha->show(); doesn't crash, but $this-
>Html('title' , ''); does.

Fatal error Call to undefined method Controller Html()

I have this

var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Captcha');

and now when I use

$this->Captcha->show(); IT works perfectly..No issues there

but when I use something like

$this->Html('title' , '');

The error given is

Fatal error: Call to undefined method UsersController::Html()

So what could be causing this error ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Post Data

The form values do not show up when I do that, they do when I do a
debug($this) and appear like this:

[form] => Array
(
[Test1] => 04
[Test2] => 05
)

How do I access these values?
I have tried $this->form and $_POST['Test1'] however I always get an
undefined index or property error.

The Cake way of doing this? Multiple models accessing a huge dataset

I am wondering did i chose the Cake way of doing things with this, or
atleast close :)

We have multiple models, all of which access same set of tables
handling massive amounts of data, searched using fulltext indexes.
There's additions, searches, modifies etc. from 2 different models, ah
but there's a gotcha! Most of these searches are slightly different,
along with some of the inserts.

So what i opted to do about handling this dataset is build an
component used by the controllers. This component rarely contacts the
model, and only one of the models for some assisting functions for
some metadata to attach to the actual dataset.

Is the component way the cake way to do something like this?

Different main search types is 4, with variations for 2 different
models.
Different inserts 1 with 2 variations.
Modifying pages 1. (Same form and everything, just some data used to
check to which model uses that data)

So i've done a "simple" component with a helper class to handle all of
that :)

Using cake 1.1

Main goal when i code is to get short, simple pieces of code together.

Re: Position of label on checkbox inputs

It is common practice to have labels for most form elements before
(above or to the left of) the element itself, except for radio buttons
and checkboxes, where the norm is for the label to be on the right.

[x] Bacon
[x] Eggs
[x] Sausages

easier to read than

Bacon [x]
Eggs [x]
Sausages [x]

I've never had a problem styling forms with the standard form helper
methods.

(On an unrelated note, are there any collections of CSS files for
cakephp forms? Might be a handy resource to create one. The bakery
style is ok, but a drop-in solution for columnar forms that work
directly with the form helper would be cool. A sort of "CSS Cake
Garden" if you will.)

AW: Delete Auth Cookie on Logout

Hi,

What I have:

function logout()
{
// Redirect users to this action if they click on a Logout button.
// All we need to do here is trash the session information:

$this->Session->delete('User');

// And we should probably forward them somewhere, too...

$this->redirect('/users/login');
}

So you can choose your favourite forwanrd and you should be happy.

Re: Question about Data Sanitation in CAKEPHP

> If I would sanitaze my input from javascript code?

No, you need to escape whenever you send dynamic content to de user
(though the form helper will escape the inputs values), use the
builtin h() function.

echo h($comment['Comment']['content']);

If you want to strip the tags or other bad content and avoid it from
beign stored (they will be escaped by the dbo layer but will get
inserted in the db anyway) you need to use Sanitize::clean() or
Sanitize::strip<What>() where what is any of Tags, Images, Scripts,
Whitespace, All.

Position of label on checkbox inputs

Hi,

Is there a reason $out is appended to the end in form->input when
$type is set to checkbox? This behaviour is different to all the other
types which place label before the input and is causing me issues with
my layout. I can fix this by moving the out variable between $before
and the checkbox but i don't want to do this if $out is at the end by
design and this will break something. I have had no issues so far but
this may break somethign i have not come across yet.

I am using version 1.2.0.7296 RC2

Thanks,

Tom

Re: Admin + Members suggested setup??

Admin routing as more useful in a CMS-style site where there are
clearly two distinct areas.... display of site data, and administering
site data, which both could differ greatly in controller & view code,
rather than just acl & permissions.

Hope that clears things up.

Re: Admin + Members suggested setup??

Admin routing and ACL are two different things, admin routing is just
a "quick way" to have some action not accessible from everybody with a
few efforts.
And from what i know (but it should be cheched) at least in Cake 1.2
there's
also the availability of some "super_admin" methods.

Anyway a nice advantage in using admin routing, in respect of making
your own
checks, is that you can do ONCE in the before_filter action of the
AppController
(the controller from which every other controller inherits) the check,
and
you have to check only one param of the request: 'admin'.

Here an example:

class AppController extends Controller{

.........

function beforeFilter() {
// if admin pages are being requested
if(isset($this->params['admin'])){
if (!$this->Session->check('User')) {
// set flash message and redirect
$this->Session->setFlash('You need to be logged in to
access this area');
$this->redirect('/users/login/?redir='.$this->params['url']
['url'],true);
}
}

//If already logged in change the layout to admin
$this->layout='admin_theme';
}

.............

}

Of course this method can be used only for simple and small
applications,
if you need more complex authentication and authorization, you should
consider
using Auth and ACL components.

Bye,
Andrea

Re: Admin + Members suggested setup??

I've created some sites with multiple admin routes (i.e. members and
admin) although only in 1.1 - there is an article about it in the
bakery: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/using-cake_admin-for-multiple-user-types
- it works very well.

I seem to remember reading that this is built in in 1.2, but haven't
tried this out yet - I imagine you would just specify an array of
possible routes in /config/core.php, but I could be wrong - although
it would be easy to find out...

Personally I would see it as working in a complementary with
permissions systems (ACL) so for instance you might specify a group
with access to the admin methods, a group with access to members
methods and then the methods that represent your public facing (and
authentication free) site. So in a way it a just about keeping things
nice and tidy. Use Auth to take care of a user login, but it is up to
you to decide where to let somebody go once they have logged in - I
would say that is what ACL is for.

Maybe it is more an issue of philosophy - you need to find a way of
working and structuring things that is good for you - even within the
constraints of Cake there are often many ways of doing things.

May I ask why you're asking here? Are you using CakePHP at all?

Re: htaccess problems.

Hi there,

Can you please share your modified .htaccess file that you have inside your cake1.2 directory? I guess you have other .htaccess files inside your root or html directory? Can you tell us what's written inside those as well?

So my questions are if the .htaccess is necessary? good practice?

.htaccess is necessary for pretty URLs and is certainly a good thing to have :) You can though setup your cake to not to use .htaccess.

Also please check if apache rewrite module is turned on in your web server.

Thanks.

I'm finding problems with what I believe is with .htaccess in the
cake_install_directory.

My current web server only allows the /html directory as a HTML root.
To reduce complexity, I thought it would be good to start with
untaring the CakePHP in that directory.

so my directory appears something like this

/html
/cake1.2
/app
/cake
/docs
/vendors
/foobar

I've noticed in the past if I wanted to look at an html file in foobar
I had to use http://www.example.com/foobar

So I'm at step 4 in the documentation. I've confirmed with the web
server that has AllowOverride is set to All.

It seems that I can't do
http://www.example.com/cake1.2
http://www.example.com/cake1.2/index.php
or even
http://www.example.com/cake1.2/foo.html

The foo.html is just a hello world html file.

What I found is if I remove the .htaccess file I get a nice CakePHP
link telling my salt needs to be updated and that theres no connection
to DB.

So I went farther in the tutorial, I successfully linked DB & changed
salt word. Checked the http://www.example.com/cake1.2 and everything
looks fine, including DB is connected and no salt warning.

I did do a google search both here and the internet. I did find
something about adding a Rewritebase line to all 3 .htaccess, but not
sure if I did that correctly. When I changed that, it seemed to just
go to a blank webpage. No errors or anything.

So my questions are if the .htaccess is necessary? good practice?

Multiple login system

Hi,

I am working on a site and want to implement two types of users with
different logins
like: http://www.naukri.com/
1. User Login
2. Business Login

Should I use Auth using ACL?

Also, please suggest if you have better solution for this ?

Thanks

Re: 404 Errors Stop Working When Using Auth Component

Here is how I fixed the above problem:

cake/libs/controller/components/auth.php - startup():
$isAllowed = (
$this->allowedActions == array('*') ||
in_array($controller->action, $this->allowedActions) ||
!method_exists($controller, $controller->action) // Let the user in
if the method does not exist; preserve 404s
);

Re: Jquery or Scriptalicious?

JQuery is a complete Javascript library whereas Scriptaculous is a JS animation library - which is kinda like addon to the Prototype library ( they call it a framework though! ). How can we compare them, I think you want to chose between jQuery and Prototype+Scriptaculous?

My vote will definately go for jQuery. It's lightweight, it has got a much better selector, faster dom searching, better use of design patterns, thousands of plugins, fluent interface blah blah.. :)

Re: Test Suite and HABTM Models - Not Working

Hi Mike,

I think the RC3 bake script still generates old style code, like the following -

App::import('Model', 'Post');

class TestPost extends Post {
    var $cacheSources = false;
    var $useDbConfig = 'test_suite';
}

class PostTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
    var $Post = null;
    var $fixtures = array('app.post', 'app.tag');

    function start() {
        parent::start();
        $this->Post = new TestPost();
    }
.....
.....
.....

Unfortunately this old style is redundant and does not work with associations (without some hacks). But GOOD news is that - Tim and Nate have come up with an even better solution and that works with associations flawlessly. Edit your test files and make it like the following - it's gonna work like a charm.

App::import('Model', 'Post');

class PostTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
    var $Post = null;
    var $fixtures = array('app.post', 'app.tag');

    function start() {
        parent::start();
        $this->Post =& ClassRegistry::init('Post');
    }
.....
.....
.....

Keep in mind that I have not touched any of these files. They are all

Any ideas?
