cakephp-2.1

On an edit page for the model Test I want to be able to update the "Questions.order" field on all of it's associated (by hasMany) questions from the same form. I've ready the Cake book chapter on saveMany()/saveAll() in the book, and I'm using the Model.0.field syntax but I can't figure out how to tell CakePHP which record to corresponds to which input. Should the # in Model.#.field correspond to the question's id field? Here's what I'm currently doing: echo $this->Form->create( 'Question', array('action'=>'order')); $n = 0; foreach ($questions_array as $question) : ?> <?php echo $this->Form-

I have a question about cakePHP. I create two drop down lists in my view. When the user changes the value in one list, I want the second to change. Currently, I have this working like this: An on click event fires when the user selects from list box one. This fires a jQuery ajax function that calls a function from my controller. This is all working fine, but how do I re-render my control, asynchronously (or, view)? I i know I could just serialize the array to json and then recreate the control in javascript, but there seems like there should be a more "CakePHP" way. Isn't that what render is

I have just installed CakePHP 2.1. And just see that the naming convention of its is just change lot from the older version which making me crazy. Like it was app/controllers while now it is app/Controller same way app/models - app/Model app/views - app/View I know there must be some advantage on doing this. But my problem is when I use the cake bake it is creating directory in the same old fashion i.e. controllers/models/views . Which is no more accessible from the URL & obviously will throw an error. Is anyone there who has face the same issue ? Is there any solution that cake bake also use

What's the way to have a global variable inside a controller? I have tried to do it using beforeFilter but it is not accessible from the others functions. Can it only be done using Configure::read and Configure::write you can set variable accessible in any controller in your AppController class AppController extends Controller { public $myGlobalVar; public function beforeFilter() { //this can be anything array, object, string, etc ..... $this->myGlobalVar = "test2"; } } then in your other controller you can access variable anywhere like this class TestController extends AppController { public

I have a Cake website and it needs to have two separate logins, each one will have their own login form and see different pages, it would be nice to have two different tables because there are no similarities between the two types of people. Each login form will only be used by certain people and they will never login to the other form, and vice versa. Also, the two login tables have a relationship between them, which requires 2 tables? Is this possible? First, add a couple of empty custom authenticate objects. We'll reuse the same logic that FormAuthenticate uses (that is, uses POST data to

Is it possible to define global conditions for Model ? I have 2 Models: User and Student . In database both of them are using table users but each student has set parent_id to its owner (which is set in the same table) while each user has parent_id set to Null . When I use for example $this->find('all'); in Student Model I want to force Cake to return only those records from database table users where parent_id != Null . So the question is - can I define somehow global conditions in the Model? Something like that: public $conditions = array('Student.parent_id !=' => Null); Use beforeFind You
