Hi,
Firstly let me say I'm reasonably new to CakePHP, but not the design
patterns it uses (I'm a fast learner and have used frameworks before).
I've recently been given a CakePHP project, it's got hundreds of
bugs,is poorly designed and written, hard-coding access levels in /
cake/libs/controller/app_controller.php, etc. All of the previous
developers code in the /cake/ folder I've *moved* to respected
'parent' controllers in the /app/ folder. For example, /app/
app_helper.php, etc instead of /cake/libs/helpers/helper.php.
Everything worked at this point.
Secondly he uses constructs in every controller and to load models he
uses $this->uses = array('discussion'), etc. I removed these
constructs and changed it to var $uses = array('Discussion'); at top
of each controller.
However, now I'm getting errors.
Here's one;
** CODE **
Warning (512): Controller::paginate() - can't find model Discussion in
controller DiscussionsController [CORE/cake/libs/controller/
controller.php, line 947]
** /CODE **
Now, thats not all if I remove his construct (which has
parent::Controller) in the app_controller.php, and use my no-
constructor method when i try go to a controller it redirects me to /
users/login (Missing Controller error in title). This is really
unexpected behaviour because I've searched contents of every file no
reference of /users/login. And I don't know why it doesn't load any of
my models when I use the var $uses method. Does it have something to
do with the construct, as he was doing parent::Controller in each of
his constructs and extending each controller to the AppController.
Here is a small extract of the way I am writing controllers.
** CODE **
class DiscussionsController extends AppController {
/**
* Name of the controller
*
* @var string
*/
var $name = 'Discussions';
/**
* Specifies the models (or uses) used in this controller
*
* @var array
*/
var $uses = array('Action', 'Discussion', 'DiscussionComment');
/**
* Specifies the components used in this controller
*
* @var array
*/
var $components = array('Upload');
/**
* Specifies the helpers used in this controller
*
* @var array
*/
var $helpers = array('Time');
/**
* Define the pagination defaults
*
* @var array
*/
var $paginate = array('Discussion', array(
'fields' => array('Discussion.id', 'Discussion.title',
'Discussion.description', 'Discussion.image', 'Discussion.created',
'User.id', 'User.name'),
'order' => array('Discussion.id' => 'DESC'),
'limit' => 10,
'recursive' => 0
));
** /CODE **
And this is his method;
** CODE **
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->name = 'Discussions';
$this->uses[] = 'Action';
$this->uses[] = 'Discussion';
$this->uses[] = 'DiscussionComment';
$this->components[] = 'Upload';
$this->helpers[] = 'Time';
$this->noAccess = array(
-1 => array('start', 'add_comment', 'delete', 'edit'),
0 => array(),
1 => array(),
2 => array()
);
}
** /CODE **
