Regarding upload, I use the bzr revision control system for my projects
and it's push command works well for uploading to a server.
I usually have GNU Make 'Makefiles' which reset permissions and
purge /app/tmp for me too. These are easily mastered - they are basically
shell scripts with built-in targets.
It is also possible to upload your packages as a .deb or .rpm, but I have
only tried the former.
I will keep Ubuntu in mind, though the thought of shifting now that I
am set up is pretty scary.
Well, Debian and Ubuntu now have the 1.1.x.x branch of CakePHP as a
package which is easy to install. I am preparing a 1.2.x.x package too,
which I will upload when I have ironed out a few problems.

Re: Please help me understand URL and Routes in Cake
I understand that Cake does [routing] this in two phases, one using apache mod rewrite to pass the rest of the path to cake and the second one by Routes to further route the URL in cake internally. Is this correct? Yes. I assume that the major purpose of the Routes is to map URLs to controllers, functions and parameters. Correct. 1. I've seen a colon (:) used in the manual in routes config (like / blog/:action/* ). What is the special meaning of the colon? It isn't mentioned anywhere. They are to control the parameters that are passed to the Controller. I think the syntax is a Ruby-ism. First, the general case. If your route is: /blog/:spam/* then if the browser requested /blog/eggs/ then $this-params['spam'] would contain the value 'eggs'. You can have more than one in the route. For example: /blog/:year/:month/:day/:slug/* gets you something like the default WordPress blog link structure. There are two 'magic' parameters, controller and action which, when set, decide which controller or action to call respectively. For example, the route: /blog/:action/:spam when called with: /blog/view/eggs/ will call the view action with $this-params['spam'] set to eggs. 2. Can I use regular expressions in Routes like on mod rewrite? How? The manual doesn't mention it. Just use regular Perl-compatible regexs. 3. Can I still use URL query string parameters using ? ? Or does cake only use the /controller/action/param/param... convention? Cake has a different method of handling query string parameters. My advice is to construct a controller action to display $this-params and see how they are handled. Hope I am making myself clear. Sorry for the long message. Hopefully someone else can help with the rest if the above does not help you solve the problem yourself.

What's happening is that the routes are configured so that all URLs in
the form /pages/something actually call the display() function in
pages_controller, regardless of what something is.
You can confirm this by putting die('in test function') inside
test() - it won't get called.
As for a solution. try adding another route in core/routes.php:
$Route-connect('/pages/test', array('controller' = 'pages', 'action'
= 'test'));
And then modify pages_controller.php:
function test() {
$this-set('abc', 'something');
$this-display()
}
Might be a nicer way of doing it, however.

And it'll probably help to keep track of the image's MIME content-type with another table column if you're going to have a PHP script that outputs the blob field data. Don't forget that the uploaded MIME type can be faked[1]. You may want to look into using the command 'magic' or getimagesize()[2] to get a real MIME type.

Re: Paradigm shift :: Procedural - OO Paterns based development
Hi Kestrel, I found a web link into the IRC channel a few days ago and haven't been able to find it again since. Pointers please... Here[0], although it is best to connect using a 'proper' IRC client (details on the same page) I will be honest, this has been more of a venting excercise for me and I appreciate if you have read this far. If you can help on any of the above that would be great. Otherwise, thanks for hearing (reading) me out :-) I visited your site and it looks like you are progressing well, congratulations! In reference to your questions, you would probably want to avoid things like using comma-seperated fields instead of associating with another table: Cake makes these things easier anyway. In addition, Cake makes it easy to set up both the drag-and-drop and the drop-down functionality you mentioned. (By the way, if you enjoy writing or find it useful (or maybe just a venting exercise, haha) have you considered starting a Cake blog?) Best wishes, and good luck with CakePHP. --Lamby [0] http://irc.cakephp.org/irc.html -- Chris Lamb, Cambridgeshire, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: www.chris-lamb.co.uk GPG: 0x634F9A20 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: hasAndBelongsToMany with a join table with a datetime column
Hi Matt,
However if I create a third model can I use that to order the results?
Sure you can :)
class Member extends AppModel
var $name = 'Member';
var $hasMany = array('MemberTeam' = array(
'className' = 'MemberTeam',
'order' = 'MemberTeam.created'
));
}
class Team extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Team';
var $hasMany = array('MemberTeam' = array(
'className' = 'MemberTeam',
'order' = 'MemberTeam.created'
));
}
class MemberTeam extends AppModel {
var $name = 'MemberTeam';
var $hasOne = 'Member,Team';
}
Cake should also fill in the 'created' field automatically for you.
Regards,
--lamby

Re: Cake PHP and templates
Philip, I wanted to use a PHP template system with CakePHP.. Why? Please read this. [0] My idea was to convert the PHP variables to Javascript using JSON (but didn't work out how to do this successfully). Then to use these variables in Javascript to be passed through the Javascript template as above. *blinks* Are you on sure you really want to do this? The TrimPath engine is meant for static (ie non server-side) pages to be able to perform quasi-queries on static data (say, a whole load of HTML pages burnt to a CD or DVD), not to do the job of PHP. --lamby [0] http://www.phppatterns.com/docs/design/templates_and_template_engines -- Chris Lamb, Cambridgeshire, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: www.chris-lamb.co.uk GPG: 0x634F9A20 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: Character sets
Hi, Firstly, ISO8859-1 (or Latin-1) has rather limited character set[1] and you should consider sticking with Unicode (in your case UTF-8) Can someone give a GOOD explenantion about character encoding. The eminent Joel Spolsky gives an excellent guide[1] to character encodings from the programmers point of view. Everyone reading this post should read this. With regard to your problem the W3[2] say: It is very important that the character encoding of any XML or (X)HTML document is clearly labeled, so that clients can easily map these encodings to Unicode. (Source: [2]) So, can you first check whether your view that houses the input element which will be autocompleted contains the magic: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=utf-8 / in the head section?

Re: Time Zone ?
Andy, Cake's 'created' and 'modified' magic uses the PHP date() function. The Best Practice for dates is to store all dates interally in UTC/GMT, and apply an offset on viewing. If you would prefer not to do this, check out: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php or http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php Regards, Chris On Tue, 18 Jul 2006 14:01:32 -0700 seefai [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi brother, I am Andy from Malaysia and just a begineer to cakePHP.

Re: md5 field - modify field from controller
AD7six,
if (!preg_match(VALID_MD5, $password))
{
$this-data['Member']['password'] =
md5($password); } return true;
}
But what if your plaintext password looks like a valid MD5 string?
Myself and quite a few friends do this for some logins. If I did
that here, then my password would be stored as plaintext in the
database and thus I wouldn't be able to login.
I guess a simple fix
would be to restrict the type of password that can be saved, but that
would annoy people like me ;)
