Cakephp: Escape paginator prev link - cakephp

I'm using the prev link for the Paginator component like so:
<?php echo $this->Paginator->prev('‹', array('escape'=> false), null, array('escape' => false)); ?>
This produces an escaped version of of ‹ when the link is active but does not escape the HTML when the link is disabled.
I'm using CakePHP 2.4
Additional details:
My model, controller and view is in the Plugin folder
My model is not using a database i.e. var $useTable = false;. I get my data
via a web service.
I've overridden the paginate function in my model so that I can call the paginated web service.

Are you using BoostCake?
I was having the exact same problem. Active links were being escaped, but disabled ones were not.
I disabled the "BoostCake.BoostCakePaginator" plugin, and all is working fine, so I would assume a bug in that plugin. (I have no time to investigate at the moment, but if/when I do, I will report back.)

like gaurav sharma said, there is a bug.
you should replace $this->link($title) in return-value of public function prev(...) and public function next(...) in BoostCakePaginatorHelper.php (ln94 & ln121) by $this->link($title, NULL, array('escape' => false))
like this:
return parent::prev($title, $options, $this->link($title, NULL, array('escape' => false)), array_merge($options, array(
'escape' => false,
'class' => $disabled,
)));

How to have different dashboards based on roles with cakedc plugins / users & acl

I am using CakeDC Users & ACL plugins in my CakePhp app. I have different roles for my users in my app and I would like to have different dashboards based on roles after login.
I extend the plugin with my own table and controller based on the documentation here, so I have MyUsersController and MyUsersTable which override the initial files of the plugin, UsersController and UsersTable. Everything works fine. I create an event in my events.php file which contains:
use CakeDC\Users\Controller\Component\UsersAuthComponent;
use Cake\Event\Event;
use Cake\Event\EventManager;
EventManager::instance()->on(
UsersAuthComponent::EVENT_AFTER_LOGIN,
['priority' => 99],
function (Event $event) {
if ($event->data['user']['role_id'] === 'bbcb3031-ebed-445e-8507-f9effb2de026') //the id of my client role{
return ['plugin' => 'CakeDC/Users', 'controller' => 'MyUsers', 'action' => 'index', '_full' => true, 'prefix' => false];
}
}
);
But it seems like the override is not working because I have an error:
Error: CakeDC/Users.MyUsersController could not be found.
In my URL I have /users/my-users instead of /my-users and I don't know why. I have test with a template file which is include in the plugin and the Users controller like this:
function (Event $event) {
if ($event->data['user']['role_id'] === 'bbcb3031-ebed-445e-8507-
f9effb2de026') //the id of role{
return ['plugin' => 'CakeDC/Users', 'controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'profile';
}
And it works. My URL redirect after login as a client is /profile.
Could someone help me to understand? Please tell me if it's not clear enough and if it's missing parts of codes that might be important to understand my problem.
I specify that I am beginner with Cake.
Your custom controller doesn't live in the CakeDC/Users plugin, hence you must disable the plugin key accordingly, so that the correct URL is being generated (assuming your routes are set up correctly) that connects to your controller, like this:
[
'plugin' => null,
'controller' => 'MyUsers',
'action' => 'index',
'_full' => true,
'prefix' => false
]
That would for example match the default fallback routes, generating a URL like /my-users.

how to set cakephp paginator url for custom route

I am making blog and url route is like this-
Router::connect('/blog/c/:catid/*',
array('controller' => 'blogarticles', 'action' => 'index'));
it works well with url as- /blog/c/3/other-articles
but when i use paginator in view as
echo $this->Paginator->numbers();
it generates url as- /blogarticles/index/other-articles/page:2
What changes should in make in paginator to generate proper url.
Please suggest possible solution , Thanks in advance
This should solve your problem:
$this->Paginator->options(
array(
'controller' => 'blog',
'action' => 'c',
$catid,
$title
)
);
The trick is to pass blog as the controller and c as the action, and all other variables (NOT LIMITED TO $catid and $title) as additional parameters, sequentially!
NOTE: I assumed here that you have "set" $catid and $title from your Controller, to the current "category id" and "title" respecting. I also assumed that your URLs are always in the format: /blog/c/:catid/:title
You may also want to view my answer to a similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25097693/2862423
What you want is to set the options for the PaginatorHelper for that view:
<?php $this->Paginator->options(array('url' => '/blog/c/3/other-articles')); ?>

cakePHP paginator not passing passedargs

I am using cakePHP and I am trying to get the paginator component to pass the get variables, or passedargs, when you click through to different pages. I have a variety of different search input selectors which "filters" the results returned. This works on first view, but the moment I click on a different page, it shows all of the results.
I have the following setup for my paginator:
// In my controller class:
public $paginate = array('maxLimit' => 10, 'paramType' => 'querystring');
// Within my action method:
$this->paginate = array('conditions' => array(...),
order => array('Model.field ASC'),
'limit' => 20
);
// Calling the paginator:
$results = $this->paginate('Model');
$this->set(compact('results'));
In my view file:
<div class="paging">
<?php
echo $this->Paginator->prev('< ' . __('previous'), array(), null, array('class' => 'prev disabled'));
echo $this->Paginator->numbers(array('separator' => ''));
echo $this->Paginator->next(__('next') . ' >', array(), null, array('class' => 'next disabled'));
?>
</div>
EDIT:
From my understanding it's better to use the passedArgs, but I am a little unsure as to how to do this. My $this->passedArgs returns no results, so I am creating the passed parameters within my controller example. I also changed my form from Get to Post:
$this->passedArgs["searchfield"] = $_POST["value"];
It passes the passedArgs now correctly in the pagination strip, but I am unsure as to how to build the paging conditions array now. In most cases users will not select default values example, one of the filters is date from and date to, and then a search input box, if I leave the dates it will still created the argumens and not return any results so in essence my url would be something like:
http://localhost/site/controller/action/page:3/datefrom:0/dateto:0/searchFor:survey
Any assistance?
You can pass by all parameters in the view with:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
or assign the params manually:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => array("0", "1")));
befor echoing the paginator

Using HtmlHelper on Model to insert links in returned errors

I'm working with CakePHP and trying to understand the best ways to make my application consistent and logical.
Now I'm trying to working with Model data validation and handling validation errors in the view, I have a doubt on how should I do if I like to insert some link inside the returned error, for example for a forgotten password.
Is it good to use (if it's possibile) HtmlHelper inside the Model to return consistent links inside my application, or should I think about another way?
<?php
App::import('Helper', 'Html');
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $validate = array (
'email' => array (
'checkEmail' => array (
'rule' => array('email', true),
'message' => 'Email not valid message.'
),
'checkUnique' => array (
'rule' => 'isUnique',
'message' => 'This email is allready in the db, if you forgot the password, '.(string)$this->Html->link('click here', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'password-recover')).'.'
)
)
// the rest of the code...
This doesn't work because it seems I can't chain the message string with HTML string.
Does exist e smartest way to do that, or should I simply insert the html string without the HtmlHelper?
If you really want HTML in your validation messages CakePHP provides a way to do this, no breaking Cake, no writing a lot of code.
In your $validation just use whatever HTML you would like to have presented to the user.
In your view when you create your FormHelper::input($fieldName, array $options) pass the following array to $options:
$options = array('error' => array(
'attributes' => array('escape' => false)
))
See this page to learn more about the $options['error'] ...options.
Alternatively, if you want all inputs with no HTML escaping you can pass $options['inputDefaults'] when you create the form.
this is a difficult topic because
you might need to break MVC
validation is as in your case usually in $validate and cannot contain dynamic stuff
for 1)
you can also use Router::url() with manual HTML
you can use BBcode or pseudo-markup and translate this into real links in the view/element of the flashmessage
for 2)
use __construct() and $this->validate to use dynamic elements if needed
In PHP, properties of a class (such as $validate) have to be initialized with constant values.
<?php
class User extends AppModel {
public $validate = array(
'email' => array(
'checkUnique' => array(
'rule' => array('isUnique'),
'message' => 'This email address has already been claimed, possibly by you. If this is your email address, use the reset password facility to regain access to your account'
),
),
);
public function beforeValidate($options = array()) {
$this->validate['email']['checkUnique']['message'] = String::insert(
$this->validate['email']['checkUnique']['message'],
array('link' => Router::url(array('action' => 'password-recover')))
);
return true;
}
You are making it hard on yourself. The helpers are not accessible in the model and controller. And for good reason: the M and C shouldn't be concerned with the V.
There are ways to do exactly as you want (but involves considerably more code). Since you ask for the smartest way: What's wrong with just echo the reset password link in the view, after the login form? Just echo 'Forgot your password? '.$this->Html->link('Click here', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'password-recover'));
I don't agree on breaking the MVC logic. I also tried all the array('escape' => false) possible ways (in Form->input, in Form->error and even in the model) and none of them worked with me! (cakephp 2.0)
"Anh Pham" answer is the easiest and simplest way. In addition to that, I returned empty error message from model validation ('errorMessage' => false ; doesn't work in cakePhp 2.0).
Because I wanted to pass a variable to the view to build the link there (MVC), in the controller I check if the field is invalidated:
$invlaidFields = array_keys($this->Model->validationErrors();
if ( in_array('myField', $invalidFields) ){
...
}
In the view, I check if the field was invalidated, I then echo my error message giving it class error-message so it looks the same as the rest error messages.
if ($this->Form->('myFields')) { ... echo '<span class="error-message">error message'. $this->Html->link(...).'</span>'; }
Hope it helps somebody out there.
P.S. It's always a good practice to mention what cakePHP version you are using...
To cakephp2 you can use the following:
//model validation
'company' => array('notempty' => array('rule' => array('notempty'),'message' => "select one company o send email to contact",),)
//front
<?php if ($this->Form->isFieldError('Register.company')): ?>
<span class="text-danger"><?php echo $this->Form->error('Register.company', null, array('escape'=>false)); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

how to change part of url from cakephp's paginator options?

have custom pagination in my cakephp view. before that i made some custom routing changes.
problem is that links leads to pages like
http://localhost/myapp/foos/view/news/page:2
instead of
http://localhost/myapp/news/page:2
so, part with foos/view/ not have to be part of the link.
tried to change url with several custom options, like
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
but no luck, because i always have foos/view/ in url.
can you help me how can i get rid of that foos/view?
thank you very much in advance!
UPDATE: i manage to do "something", but not enough, by adding following lines:
$options = array('url'=> array('controller' => 'news' ) );
$paginator->options($options);
now, my link looks like:
http://localhost/myapp/news/index/page:2
how can i get rid of that "index" in url?
The following line is more about passing various pieces of URL information to the view:
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => $this->passedArgs));
I think what you want to look into is the helper declaration in your Controller:
var $helpers = (
'SomeHelper',
'AnotherHelper',
'Paginator' => array(
'url' => array('controller'=>'news')
)
);
If you want finer control of a custom route like the one you have then try
'url' => '/news'
I haven't used PaginatorHelper in a while - so I could be egregiously on the wrong track - but I believe that's a good start.
Also, take a look at the Paginator Helper page for where it mentions $options and then take a look at Router::url() as the former page recommends.
I had a case where I am working on a project using CakePHP 2.1 (This thread is tagged as 1.3) with a dynamic admin route to display pages like this:
Router::connect('/admin/main/*', array('controller' => 'adminPages', 'action' => 'display'));
With a query string parameter, that produces a dynamic url like this: http://mydomain.com/adminPages/main/...?page=1
The link route, was incorrect for our needs and found I could alter the url directly by using this:
$this->Paginator->options(array(
'url' => array(
'controller' => 'admin/main/my-display',
)
));
For me it made a link: http://mydomain.com/admin/main/my-display?page=1 - which was the correct url we were looking for. If I used a string, as described above, it appends itself to the url, like: http://mydomain.com/adminPages/main/.../admin/main/my-display?page=1
In view :
<?php
$this->Paginator->options(array('url' => array('controller' => '','action' =>'your-custom-url')));
?>
In routes.php :
<?php
Router::connect('/your-custom-url/*', array('controller' => 'Controller', 'action' => 'function'));
?>
