As I understand the example of virtual attributes in rails (that link being the only basis of info) it concats two fields depending on certain things (eg spaces in the names)
so virtual attributes perform set routines on data under certain circumstances. without know what you want these *custom properties* to *do* and without knowing the ins and outs of rails its really hard to say. I believe that whatever your trying to accomplish can be achieved with cake but unless you explain what your trying to achieve any answer may well be misleading. so what are you trying to accomplish? 2008/8/28 trustfundbaby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > At the risk of repeating myself, I am looking for something that works > the same way as virtual attributes in rails. > > > > On Aug 28, 2:25 pm, "Sam Sherlock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > models have behaviours > > > > controller have components > > > > and views have helpers > > > > also you can add a function to the appmodel and then all models have > access > > to it > > there is an example that shows this on the link to book you posted. > > > > 2008/8/28 trustfundbaby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > > > > > I guess I'm talking more along the lines of virtual attributes in > > > Rails. > > >http://railscasts.com/episodes/16 > > > I just called it custom properties because thats what its called here > > > (although there are no examples) > > >http://manual.cakephp.org/view/72/custom-methods-and-properties > > > > > On Aug 28, 8:19 am, "Dardo Sordi Bogado" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I don't get what you mean with "custom properties".
