CakePHP different tables displays in the same page - cakephp

I'd like to make website, with news and comments attached to them.
I made Model Infos.php ( connected to news on my page) and Model Infos_coms.php ( where comment should be saved for each news). For each Model I've got controlleres as follows
InfosController.php
class InfosController extends AppController
{
public $helpers = array('Html','Form','Session');
public $components = array('Session');
public function index()
{
$this->set('inform', $this->Info->find('all'));
//$this->loadModel('Infos_com');
//$this->set('com', $this->Infos_com->find('all'));
}}
, Info_comsController.php.
<?php
class Infos_comsController extends AppController
{
public $helpers = array('Html','Form','Session');
public $components = array('Session');
public function index()
{
$this->set('com', $this->Infos_com->find('all'));
}}
and there is my problem, couse i don't know how to display both tables (news and their comments on one page)
here is my index, i've red twice cookbook chapter about view and i didn't find there answer for solving my problem.
here is my Index file in folder (View/Infos)
<body>
<?php echo $this->Html->link(__('Dodaj newsa',true),array('action'=>'add')); ?>
<div class="container">
<?php
foreach ($inform as $news) : ?>
<h3>
<?php echo $news['Info']['title']; ?>
</h3>
<p>
<?php echo $news['Info']['body']; ?>
</p>
<small>
<?php echo $news['Info']['created']; ?>
</small>
<small>IP:
<?php echo $news['Info']['ip']; ?>
</small>
<!-- existing comments -->
<?php foreach ($com as $comment): ?>
<h4>
<?php echo $comment['Infos_com']['body']; ?>
</h4>
<small>
<?php echo $comment['Infos_com']['created']; ?><br>
<?php echo $comment['Infos_com']['ip']; ?>
</small>
<!-- adding comments -->
<div class="form-group">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Infos_com'); ?>
<?php echo $number = $comment['Info']['id']; ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input(__('mail',true),array('class'=>'form-control')) ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input(__('Comment body',true), array('class'=>'form-control')); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->submit(__('Dodaj komentarz',true),array('class'=>'btn btn-info')); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endforeach; unset($news); unset($comment);?>
i will be gratefull for any tip
Edit.
I followed Guillemo Mansilla suggest, but now i got issue with database. I've used Guillemo Mansilla code, with changed names, and also adde something i think correctly. There are my Modal
Info.php
<?php
class Info extends AppModel
{
public $hasMany = array('Infos_com');
public $validate = array(
'title'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty'
),
'body'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty'
)
);
}
?>
Infos_com.php
<?php
class Infos_com extends AppModel
{
public $belongsTo = array('Info');
public $validate = array(
'mail'=>array(
'requierd'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Write your email'
)
),
'body'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Write a comment'
)
);
}
?>
i changed my index.ctp inside body part to
<?php if (isset($inform)) {
foreach($inform as $info) {
echo $info['Info']['title'];
foreach($info['Infos_com'] as $comment) {
echo $comment['Infos_com']['body'];
}
}
} ?>
now i'm getting error
Database Error
Error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'Infos_com.info_id' in 'field list'
SQL Query: SELECT Infos_com.id, Infos_com.id_infos, Infos_com.username, Infos_com.mail, Infos_com.ip, Infos_com.created, Infos_com.body, Infos_com.info_id FROM blogdb.infos_coms AS Infos_com WHERE Infos_com.info_id IN (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
i have both tables so i don't understand where is mistake.

I will assume that your associations are correct, that is, Info hasMany Infos_com, so in your Info Model you have something like
public $hasMany => array('Infos_com')
I am going to assume that both models are correctly created (You didn't paste your models)
Now, in your controller InfosController, just do this
$this->Info->recursive = 1;
$this->set('inform', $this->Info->find('all'));
In your view, you will have all "infos" along with its comments in a var named $inform, just iterate over it recursively
if (isset($inform)) {
foreach($inform as $info) {
echo $info['Info']['title']; //I dont even know if you have a field named "title"
foreach($info['Infos_com'] as $comment) {
echo $comment['Infos_com']['comment'];
}
}
}
bear in mind that this piece of code probably don't work because we use different names, just adapt it to what you have in there

I finnaly make it , after all night !!!
i Changed column name in my Infos_com from id_infos to info_id
next i edit my index code to
<?php if (isset($inform)) {
foreach($inform as $info) {
echo $info['Info']['title']; echo '<br>';
echo $info['Info']['body']; echo '<br>';
foreach($info['Infos_com'] as $comment) {
echo $comment['body']; echo '<br>';
echo $comment['mail']; echo '<br>';
}
}
} ?>
and finnaly i got my comment under my news, THANK YOU !

Why is my function not working in phtml file?

I have created a collection.php model and added a addOrderFilter() function, but when I try to call addOrderFilter() in my phtml file, it gives me
Fatal error: Call to a member function addOrderFilter() on boolean in [...]\magento\app\design\adminhtml\default\default\template\paketid\shipping.phtml on line 5
This is my shipping.phtml :
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('PaketId_Shipping');?>
<h1>Test custom block</h1>
<?php $order = $this->getOrder()?>
<?php $shipping = Mage::getModel('paketid_shipping/result')->getCollection()->addOrderFilter($order) ?>
<?php if(count($shipping)):
foreach($shipping as $shipping): ?>
<?php echo $this->__('Booking Code') ;?>
<?php echo $shipping->getBookingCode(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
My collection.php model :
class PaketId_Shipping_Model_Resource_Result_Collection extends Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Db_Collection_Abstract
protected $order;
protected function _construct()
{
$this->_init('paketid_shipping/result');
}
public function addOrderFilter($order)
{
if ($order instanceof Mage_Sales_Model_Order) {
$order = (int) $order->getId();
}
if (!is_array($order)) {
$order = array($order);
}
$this->getSelect()->where("main_table.order_id IN (?)", $order);
//$this->getSelect()->where("main_table.order_id IN (?)", $order)->order('id DESC');
return $this;
}
The confusing part is, why does my phtml doesn't render my collection model ? Am I doing something wrong ?
Make sure magento is not running in compilation mode.
OR
There is something wrong in syntax Mage::getModel('paketid_shipping/result')->getCollection() . This is not returning correct collection object. Try debugging whether it returns collection object or not.
OR
You can try different similar syntax
Mage::getResourceModel('paketid_shipping/result_collection')->addOrderFilter($order);

CakePHP Ajax : update list with change in related list

I am working on CakePHP 2.7.8. I want to update related list with change in list using Ajax.
I have a customers table and customer_addresses table in the database and customers and customerAddress models in the project.
There is another controller serviceRequests where I have to select customer and address of the selected customer from a drop down list generated by CakePHP from database.
What I have done-
I have added a function getCustomerAddress in the serviceRequests controller
public function getCustomerAddress(){
$customer_id = $this->request->data['Post']['customer_id'];
$customer_address = $this->CustomerAddress->find('list',array(
'condition' => array('CustomerAddress.customer_id' => $customer_id),
'recursive' => -1
));
$this->set('customerAddresses', $customer_address);
$this->layout = 'ajax';
}
to display the retrieved data, I have a view get_customer_address.ctp
<?php
foreach ($customerAddresses as $key => $value): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $key;?>"><?php echo $value; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
In the add.ctp view of serviceRequests controller for add function, I have added following script at the last.
<div class="serviceRequests form">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('ServiceRequest'); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo __('Add Service Request'); ?></legend>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('customer_id');
echo $this->Form->input('customer_address_id');
echo $this->Form->input('status');
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?>
</div>
<?php
$this->Js->get('#ServiceRequestCustomerId')->event('change',
$this->Js->request(array(
'controller' => 'serviceRequests',
'action' => 'getCustomerAddress'
), array(
'update' => '#ServiceRequestCustomerAddressId',
'async' => true,
'method' => 'post',
'dataExpression' => true,
'data' => $this->Js->serializeForm(array(
'isForm' => true,
'inline' => true
))
))
);
?>
and to render Js, I have added following code to to last of default.ctp
<!-- script for layout -->
<?php echo $scripts_for_layout; ?>
<!-- Js writeBuffer -->
<?php
if(class_exists('JsHelper') && method_exists($this->Js, 'writeBuffer')) echo $this->Js->writeBuffer ();
// writes cached scripts
?>
But on accessing localhost/serviceRequests/add the ajax call is not working and all customer's name and all customer's addresses are showing in the list.

Pagination in home.ctp not clickable data

home.ctp
<?php
echo $this->element('distromob/featured');
?>
WebsitesController.php
<?php
class WebsitesController extends AppController {
public $components = array('Paginator');
public function index(){
$images = $this->paginate('Website');
if (isset($this->params['requested'])) {
return $images;
} else {
$this->set('images', $images);
}
}
featured.ctp
<?php
$images = $this->requestAction('/Websites/index');
?>
<ul>
<?php
foreach($images as $image): ?>
<?php $domain = $image['Website']['domain'];?>
<li><?php echo $this->Html->image('websites/' . $image['Website']['image'],array('width'=>'234px','height' =>'208px','class' => 'random'));
?>
</li>
<?php endforeach;?>
</ul>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->prev('« Previous', null, null, array('class' => 'disabled')); ?>
<?php $this->Paginator->counter(); ?>
<?php echo $this->Paginator->next('Next »', null, null, array('class' => 'disabled')); ?>
AppController.php
class AppController extends Controller {
public function beforeFilter(){
$this->Paginator->settings=array(
'limit'=>4
);
}
}
Im new to cakephp I found some tutorial on the web but it seems not fit on my needs. My question was, why is it the previous and the next pagination data is not clickable, It seems that the pagination data is base on the limit i set on
public function beforeFilter(){
$this->Paginator->settings=array(
'limit'=>4
);
}
whenever i change the limit it will also display data but i cannot click the next and the previous
make the pagination data available in the element i.e $this->params['paging']
//index method
if ($this->params['requested'])
return array('images'=>$this->paginate('WebSite'), 'paging' => $this->params['paging']);
$this->set('images', $this->paginate('WebSite') );
then in your home.ctp do this
$images = $this->requestAction(array('controller'=>'websites','action'=>'index'));
// if the 'paging' variable is populated, merge it with the already present paging variable in $this->params. This will make sure the PaginatorHelper works
if(!isset($this->params['paging'])) $this->params['paging'] = array();
$this->params['paging'] = Hash::merge( $this->params['paging'] , $images['paging'] );
Try replacing ->counter() with ->numbers() to see if you have any page numbers

Two forms from one model both forms validate when one form is submittted

I have to use a form once in footer and in individual page i.e. index.ctp.
For that I have a database table named contactforms.
I have created a model Contactform.php
<?php
App::uses('AppModel', 'Model');
/**
* Contactform Model
*
*/
class Contactform extends AppModel {
/**
* Validation rules
*
* #var array
*/
var $useTable = false;
public $validate = array(
'firstname' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty')
)
),
'contactno' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty')
)
),
'email' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty')
)
)
);
}
?>
I have a controller from where I am trying to send an email
<?php
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
class ContactformsController extends AppController {
public function index() {
$this->Contactform->recursive = 0;
$this->set('contactforms', $this->paginate());
}
public function contact() {
$email = new CakeEmail();
if(isset($this->params['requested']) && $this->params['requested']==true)
{
if ($this->request->is('post'))
{
$this->Contactform->set($this->request->data);
if($this->Contactform->save($this->request->data))
{
$name=$this->request->data['Contactform']['firstname'];
$lastname=$this->request->data['Contactform']['lastname'];
$contact=$this->request->data['Contactform']['contactno'];
$mail= $this->request->data['Contactform']['email'];
$email->from(array($mail => $name));
$email->to('abc#gmail.com');
$message= $this->request->data['Contactform']['message'];
$email->subject('Wombats contact form information');
if($email->send($message))
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Quote Processed..Thank You For Visiting Our Website!!!');
$this->redirect($this->referer());
}
}
}
}
}
}
?>
And then I created an element which I used called in footer and then in index file.
contact.ctp looks like
<?php echo $this->Html->css('contactfooter.css');?>
<?php $contactforms = $this->requestAction('Contactforms/contact') ?>
<div class="frm">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Contactform'); ?>
<div class="firstrow">
<div class="first">
<?php echo $this->Form->input('firstname',array('label'=>false,'placeholder'=>'firstname','div'=>'firstname','style'=>'width:130px; height:20px;' ));?>
<?php // echo $this->Form->input('firstname',array('label'=>false,'placeholder'=>'firstname','style'=>'width:130px; height:20px; float:left; margin-right:5px;','error'=>array('attributes'=>array('wrap'=>'div','class'=>'errorfirst'))));?>
</div>
<div class="second">
<?php echo $this->Form->input('lastname',array('label'=>false,'placeholder'=>'lastname','div'=>'lastname','style'=>'width:140px; height:20px; '));?>
</div>
</div>
<!--<div class="secondrow">-->
<?php echo $this->Form->input('contactno',array('label'=>false,'placeholder'=>'contactno','div'=>'contactno','style'=>'width:270px; height:20px; margin-bottom:10px;'));?>
<!--</div>-->
<?php echo $this->Form->input('email',array('label'=>false,'placeholder'=>'email','div'=>'email','style'=>'width:270px; height:20px; '));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('message',array('label'=>false,'placeholder'=>'message','div'=>'message','style'=>'width:270px; height:25px;margin-top:10px; '));?>
</div>
<!--<br>-->
<div class="sub">
<?php echo $this->Form->end('SUBMIT'); ?>
</div>

I have a doubt, according to you I should change in view and elements too but I just have elements.Please can u help I am posting my edited code
I called element from index page as
<?php echo $this->element('Contactform/contact',array('source'=>'index')); ?>\
and from default page as
<?php echo $this->element('Contactform/contact'); ?>
my controller action is
public function contact() {
$email = new CakeEmail();
if(isset($this->params['requested']) && $this->params['requested']==true){
if ($this->request->is('post'))
{
$index = 'Contactform';
if (isset($this->request->data['Contactformindex']))
$index = 'Contactformindex';
$this->Contactform->set($this->request->data[$index]);
if($this->Contactform->save($this->request->data[$index]))
{
$name=$this->request->data[$index]['firstname'];
$lastname=$this->request->data[$index]['lastname'];

Using this code still it validated one form only and form is that which I have called without source as index and when clicked on index submit button it validates the other form. I am not sure as do I have to use the same Fromindex name as specified by you, does that matter. I am not able to find as where I am going wrong.Please help and Thanks in advance.
First, why are you doing this
<?php $contactforms = $this->requestAction('Contactforms/contact') ?>
in your element? I don't see the use of that requestAction except slowing down the processing...
Ok, but your problem...
Since you're calling an element, there's no easy way to avoid the validation of both forms. Usually, when there are two forms corresponding to the same model, the way to not validate both is to change the "name" of the form like this
<!--in the first form-->
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Contactform1'); ?>
<!--in the second form-->
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Contactform2'); ?>
But, since you are creating that form with an element, there's no easy way of changing the name of the form in one place and not in the other...
So this is what you should do (there may be other ways of doing what you want, but this is the one I can think of). When you call the contact.ctp element, pass a variable to it
echo $this->element('contact', array(
"source" => "index"
));
With that, you know you're calling the element from the index.ctp, for example. Then, in the element, change the form declaration depending on the variable
//the beginning of your element
<?php
if (isset($source) && $source == 'index')
echo $this->Form->create('FromIndex');
else
echo $this->Form->create('FromContact');
?>
You'll also need to modify your action, to read the data in FromIndex or in FromContact, depending on where it came from
public function contact() {
$email = new CakeEmail();
if(isset($this->params['requested']) && $this->params['requested']==true) {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
//change the index of the array depending on where it came form
$index = 'FromContact';
if (isset($this->request->data['FromIndex']))
$index = 'FromIndex';
$this->Contactform->set($this->request->data[$index]);
if($this->Contactform->save($this->request->data[$index]))
{
$name=$this->request->data[$index]['firstname'];
$lastname=$this->request->data[$index]['lastname'];
$contact=$this->request->data[$index]['contactno'];
$mail= $this->request->data[$index]['email'];
$email->from(array($mail => $name));
$email->to('abc#gmail.com');
$message= $this->request->data[$index]['message'];
$email->subject('Wombats contact form information');
if($email->send($message))
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Quote Processed..Thank You For Visiting Our Website!!!');
$this->redirect($this->referer());
}
}
}
}
}
}
When you save or set something (unless is with saveAssociated, saveAll or those kind of functions, when you're saving more than one model), there's no need to specify the model in the array to be saved.
$saveMe = array('User'=>array('name'=>'John'));
$saveMeToo = array('name'=>'John');
$this->User->save($saveMe); //will work
$this->User->save($saveMeToo); //will work too
That's why the change of $this->request->data indexes will work either way. But the validation will be for the specific index (FromContact or FromIndex).
Note: I haven't tested the code, so be sure to check for missing parenthesis, unclosed ' and those kind of things.
EDiT
#winnie pointed out that the validation only happened for one form, and that's because I overlooked something. The validation errors get displayed in the view if there's something set in this variable $this->validationErrors['ModelName'] in the view. And that's what I missed. So, re-change the action to pass the $index of the model to the view, so the view knows which form called the action, like this
public function contact() {
$email = new CakeEmail();
if(isset($this->params['requested']) && $this->params['requested']==true) {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
//change the index of the array depending on where it came form
$index = 'FromContact';
if (isset($this->request->data['FromIndex']))
$index = 'FromIndex';
$this->Contactform->set($this->request->data[$index]);
if($this->Contactform->save($this->request->data[$index]))
{
//this if is exactly the same as the other one
} else {
//now, if there's no save, there's some validation errors
//tell the view which form called this save
$this->set('formName', $index);
}
}
}
Now in the view you need to copy the errors you get in the model, to the "fake model name" we gave the form. In the first line of your view do this (and in the element too)
if (!empty($this->validationErrors['Contactform'])) {
$this->validationErrors[$formName] = $this->validationErrors['Contactform'];
}

How to define a variable in Cakephp

I trying to pass a variable in cakephp to a view and getting error Undefined variable: view [APP\View\ItQueries\add.ctp, line 9] and line 9 is this
<?php echo $this->Form->hidden('status_type', array('value'=>$view)); ?>
Here is how im defining my variable in the controller
class ItQueriesController extends AppController {
var $view = 'Open';
public function index() {
$this->ItQuery->recursive = 0;
$this->set('view', $this->view);
}
//Other Code
}
and here is where im trying to pass the variable as a hidden field
<?php echo $this->Form->create('ItQuery'); ?>
<?php echo __('Add It Query'); ?></legend>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('status_type', array('type' => 'hidden', 'value'=>$view));
?>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?>
Can some please show me how to fix this
You need to set the variable as part of the viewVars.
To do this add this to your controller action:
$this->set('view', $this->view);
E.g.
class ItQueriesController extends AppController {
var $view = 'Open';
function index() {
$this->set('view', $this->view);
}
}
You can then access it in the view directly using $view
Your hidden field would look like:
echo $this->Form->input('status_type', array('type' => 'hidden', 'value'=>$view));
