I am using cakephp 2.8, I want to access the logged in users phone number , is there any quick way of doing this? Without using:
$this->User->find(all,conditions);
conditions=array(Authcomponent::user('id')== 'Profile.user_id')
I don't want to use the above code, is there a code like:
$this->AuthComponent::user->profile
Just a like of code that I can use to get the phone number of a user which is in the profile table.
If you want to do that in view , just do:
$phone = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.phone');
In case you want this in controller:
$phone = $this->Auth->User('phone')

I'm trying to print a few fields in a block on each profile page.
The block needs to display the fields of the user being viewed, not the logged in user.
$account = user_load($node->uid); - doesn't work. user->uid doesn't either.
Globals user will return the logged in users info.
Not exactly sure how I'm supposed to load anything into a block. Any idea?
Assuming you're viewing a user profile with a URL path like this
drupal/user/USER_ID
You can do as follows :
// Option 1
$user = explode('/', current_path());
$user_id = end($user);
// Option 2
// $path = explode('/', current_path());
// $user_id = $path[count($path)-1];
$account = user_load($user_id, true);
Documentation current_path()
This way you get the last part of the URL and pass it to the user_load function. We set true as second parameter so it loads from the DB and not the cache.
Another way to do the same without breaking the URL into pieces is to use arg() to get the parameters
In this case the code would look like this
// Option 3
// drupal/user/USER_ID
// drupal = arg(0)
// user = arg(1)
// USER_ID = arg(2)
$account = user_load(arg(2), true);
In both cases check that $user_id is an integer, do not let it pass at least is an integer, then you can check the result of user_load.
Update
If you are using the user's name in the URL you can load a full user object by using user_load_by_name()
So the code would change a little bit. Try this :
$account = user_load_by_name(arg(2));
I used arg for simplicity, you can get the user's name from URL as you want.
Hope it helps.
Im trying to make a front page for a website using cake.
I want to display a random advertisment (adverts listed in advertisements) table. A user has many adverts.
How to i go about doing this with cakephp?
You can randomly retrive your advertisements from mysql
$this->loadModel('Advertisement');
$advertisments = $this->Advertisement->find('all',
'order' => 'rand()');
and use $advertisments as an array in your frontpage.
Just get all Adverts belonging to your user with $data = $this->find('all');
Then use array_rand() to get a random entry out of your $data array.

I have two profile2 profiles defined - main and customer_profile. Also, I have a node type called Customer.
When creating a new Customer node, I would like to load the custom_profile form. The idea is to create a node and a profile simultaneously.
I know it's definately a hook_form_alter solution but can someone tell me how to programmatically load a profile while creating or editing a Customer node.
You can load profile type and data by using these function
$types = profile2_get_types();
profile2_load_by_user($account, $type_name = NULL)
For Example :
$types = profile2_get_types();
if (!empty($types)) {
foreach ($types as $type) {
$profile = profile2_load_by_user($uid, $type->type);
}
}
Even if you are able to load the customer_profile form, you will need to handle the values separately as they are two different nodes.
I would suggest capturing those fields in the customer node form, and then create a customer_profile programmatically from the values.
If you want to get the profile2 form itself then you can use something like
module_load_include('inc', 'profile2_page', 'profile2_page');
$profile2 = profile2_by_uid_load($uid, 'seeker_profile');
$entity_form = entity_ui_get_form('profile2', $profile2, 'edit');
and then add that to the form you want to place it in.
You can load full profile data using profile2_load_by_user();
params like:-
profile2_load_by_user($account,$type_name)
$account: The user account to load profiles for, or its uid.
$type_name: To load a single profile, pass the type name of the profile to load
So code like bellow
$account->uid = $existingUser->uid;
$type_name = 'user_about';
$profile = profile2_load_by_user($account, $type_name);
//$profile variable have full data of profile fields
//changing data profile2 fields
if(isset($_POST['field_user_first_name'])&& !empty($_POST['field_user_first_name'])){
$profile->field_user_first_name['und'][0]['value'] = $_POST['field_user_first_name'];
}
profile2_save($profile);
Well When creating a new Profile , Profile2 fields are not visible until a manual save is done.
To Automatically create the profile2 object , We use rules Module
Step
1) Go to Drupal admin/config/workflow/rules
2) create new rule
3) Give a name and Select in react/event "After saving a new user account"
4) Action,>> Add Action >> Execute custom PHP code
5) insert php code
$profile = profile_create(array('type' => 'profile2 type machine name', 'uid' => $account->uid));
profile2_save($profile);
6)Save >> Save changes.
This will create profile2 field when a new user is Created.
I had a similar need for creating a custom tab at the user page and loading the user profile2 form in it.
Here is a snap code of how I managed to accomplish just that:
MYMODULE.module https://gist.github.com/4223234
MYMODULE_profile2_MYPROFILE2TYPE.inc https://gist.github.com/4223201

We list events on our Drupal 7 site, but we'd like our users to be able to register for these events via a simple form. We're using Pathauto to generate URL aliases for events using the following pattern: events/[node:title]. We would like to have another page with the alias events/register/[node:title] which would present the registration form. We would also like to use tpl.php files for creating the templates, like we do for the rest of the site.
Any ideas on how we might accomplish this? Thanks.
You can try the Signup module. It's still in development, but over 7000 sites are using it:
I would put a register button on the event/ page via the node.tpl.php file. If all your nodes are not registerable, then you can check the node by getting the $nid with $node->nid and run a db_query on the url_alias table to see if current node qualifies.
<?php
$nid = $node->nid;
$result = db_query('SELECT alias FROM {url_alias} WHERE source = :source,
array(':source' => 'node/'.$nid));
foreach ($result as $r) {
$alias = $r->alias;
}
if (strpos($alias, 'events')) {
?> <input... or <button...
Have your register button redirect to events/register/$node->title page and make sure you pass the node. There's a few different ways to go from here. If you have questions about this part open another thread.
Is there a way to derive a user's email given his user_id?
You can build a relationship between the email and the user_id,and then retrieve it as needed. If the user is logged in you can easily access both properties separately.
http://code.google.com/intl/en/appengine/docs/python/users/userclass.html
However the user_id is not a hashed version of the email that can be reconstructed using some kind of algorithm.
It seems like it's not possible to derive an email from a user id. If you want to go from user_id to email, you must store both when the user is logged in, and then, when the user is not logged in, do a lookup to convert. Eg.
class Email(db.model):
'''keyed by user_id'''
email=db.EmailProperty()
def save_user():
u=users.get_current_user()
k=db.Key.from_path('Email',u.user_id())
e=Email.get(k)
if not e:
Email(key=k, email=u.email()).put()
def get_email_from_user_id(id):
'''No way to derive email without a lookup.'''
k=db.Key.from_path('Email',id)
return Email.get(k).email # raises exception if email is not found
