I understand that we can cache an action or view page in CakePHP 2.0. Refer to this link http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/cache.html.
class PostsController extends AppController {
public $helpers = array('Cache');
}
public $cacheAction = array(
'view' => 36000,
'index' => 48000
);
However, it seems that CakePHP 3.0 has removed helper(http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/caching.html). Is there any other way in CakePHP 3.0 I can cache the view page. For example, I have a index view/action. And I would like to cache that page. Thanks.

Not without developing something yourself. Like for example saving the rendered content to a file in callback for Dispatcher.afterDispatch event and then checking for the file in callback for Dispatcher.beforeDispatch event and returning the cached response.
Better to use you something like Varnish which is more suited for the job.

Trying to use the Search Plugin from friendsofcake in my cakedc users plugin.
I used everthing like before (in my normal users/index.ctp it worked) and just added my custom index.ctp to the cakedc users controller, like so:
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('Search.Prg', [
'actions' => ['index']
]);
}
public function index()
{
$this->viewBuilder()->layout('backend');
$query = $this->Users
// Use the plugins 'search' custom finder and pass in the
// processed query params
->find('search', $this->Users->filterParams($this->request->query))
// You can add extra things to the query if you need to
->contain(['Skills'])
->where(['firstname IS NOT' => null]);
$this->set('users', $this->paginate($query));
}
But I am getting the error
Unknown method "filterParams"
Any ideas?
filterParams() was a method of the CakeDC search plugin. It's not available in the FoC plugin nor it still is in the CDC plugin. The FoC Search is not a drop in replacement but a completely different implementation. I've worked on both and I prefer FoC search because the code was written for Cake3 and is IMHO better than the other implementation that was "just" an upgrade from the Cake2 implementation.
I don't know from where you got filterParams() any way. I couldn't find it in the latest CDC docs nor the code. You might want to report it as a bug.
I'm trying to override lib/Cake/Controller/Component/Auth/BasicAuthenticate.php,
because I need to change the unauthenticated() method.
So I copied and modified the file to app/Lib/Cake/Controller/Component/Auth/BasicAuthenticate.php (also tried without the 'Cake' folder), but the changes are not taken into account.
My edit works when modifying directly the core file but I'd rather not.
How should I do ?
I'm using Cake 2.5
Check if you really need to override a core class
To me this looks like you are on the wrong track, overriding the class shouldn't be neccesary unless for example you have no controler over where and how the basic authentication adapter is being used (for example in a plugin that doesn't offer configuration).
If you'd really need to overwrite the class, then the path should be
app/Lib/Controller/Component/Auth/BasicAuthenticate.php
and it should work just fine (it does for me, using CakePHP 2.5.6).
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/app.html#overriding-classes-in-cakephp
Use a custom authentication handler instead
If you have control over the adapter configuration, the I'd suggest that you extend the BasicAuthenticate class instead, and only override the unauthenticate() method, and finally make the auth component use the custom adapter.
Something like
app/Controller/Component/Auth/CustomBasicAuthenticate.php
App::uses('BasicAuthenticate', 'Controller/Component/Auth');
class CustomBasicAuthenticate extends BasicAuthenticate {
public function unauthenticated(CakeRequest $request, CakeResponse $response) {
// do something special
}
}
Controller
public $components = array(
'Auth' => array(
'authenticate' => array(
'CustomBasic'
)
)
);
See also the Creating Custom Authentication objects section in the Cookbook.
I am using cakephp 2.3 and using the default code from the cookbook. The xml is generated automatically, without having to create any view files.
class PostsController extends AppController {
public function index() {
$this->set(’posts’, $this->paginate());
$this->set(’_serialize’, array(’posts’));
}
}
However, I do not want to display the XML. Instead I want to save the generated XML file in the document root upon click of a button as Posts.xml. How can I do this? Please help.
You might not have look thoroughly enough:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/controllers/request-response.html#sending-files
It clearly states how to send files with the appropriate headers via response object.
So in your controller action, add:
$this->response->download('filename_for_download.xml');
I'm using CakePHP 2.3. and I'm trying to cache my home page view. But After caching
it to home.php, I can't load cached view because of error:
Error: Class 'AuthComponent' not found
File: C:\wamp\www\project\trunk\app\tmp\cache\views\home.php
Line: 87
I use AuthComponent for realizing if user is logged in or not. Without caching Everything works.
Controller code:
public $helpers = array('Cache');
public $cacheAction = array(
'home' => '60 minutes',
);
Thanks
App::uses() your Auth component in your bootstrap would help:
App::uses('AuthComponent', 'Controller/Component');
This way Cake knows where to load the class from if its needed (even in cache mode).
That would be this line in the file \config\bootstrap.php
App::uses('AuthComponent', 'Controller/Component');
Note that I tried this in Cake 4.1.5 but it tlls me "Class 'AuthComponent' not found"
I'm using CakePHP's Media view to force file downloads. My code is pretty much exactly like the example provided in the cookbook, which I'll paste here for your convenience:
<?php
class ExampleController extends AppController {
public function download () {
$this->viewClass = 'Media';
// Download app/outside_webroot_dir/example.zip
$params = array(
'id' => 'example.zip',
'name' => 'example',
'download' => true,
'extension' => 'zip',
'path' => APP . 'outside_webroot_dir' . DS
);
$this->set($params);
}
}
In the database, I have a field that keeps track of how many times the file was downloaded. I'm looking for a way to make sure that this number is as accurate as possible, so if a user's download gets cancelled or times out, the number does not increment. Is there some way for CakePHP's Media view to report that the download was, indeed, successful?
Detecting when a file has finished downloading is no easy task. This is something that would be done on the client side with javascript, but browsers do not give you any hooks for that.
There is a pretty clever solution here (setting a cookie and then looking for it with javascript), but it only tells you when the download has started.
