I want to create an "Admin Panel/Interface" in one of my CakePHP projects. You know its very common in modern web sites. At first, I planned to create a plugin for this, and tried to do it. It didn't work, no idea why, I'll ask for help for it later. But, next I saw that CakePHP already provides this feature, using "Scafolding". I am now trying this, but don't know why its not working as I expected. Here is what I did :
app/config/core.php :
---------------------
.
.
.
Configure::write('Routing.prefixes',array('admin'));
.
.
.
app/Controller/AppController.php :
----------------------------------
.
.
.
public $components=array(
'Session',
'Auth'=>array(
'loginRedirect'=>array('admin'=>true,'controller'=>'home','action'=>'index'),
'logoutRedirect'=>array('controller'=>'home','action'=>'index'),
'authorize'=>array('Controller')
)
);
.
.
.
I thought, there should be a seperate controller for Admin Panel, that's why I created it :
app/Controller/AdminsController.php :
-------------------------------------
<?php
App::uses('AppController','Controller');
class AdminsController extends AppController{
public $name='Admins';
public $scaffold='admin';
}
But it didn't work. So, I thought CakePHP provided this feature for all individual controller; I mean, I thought I am supposed to have the Admin Panel for all individual controller, not as a different module/controller/sub-system. So, I changed a little one of my existing controllers "Controllers1" :
<?php
App::uses('AppController','Controller');
class Controllers1Controller extends AppController{
public $name='Controllers1';
public $scaffold='admin';
}
then tried to go to this URL : my_site/admin/jobs/view
but still same result.
Please give me a suggestion, what should I do ? Should I create a new plugin for the "Admin Panel", or Scafolding is better ? And what is my fault ?
Thanks
The AdminsController is not necessary to use the admin prefix, all you need to do is define the Routing.Prefixes like you already did.
Configure::write('Routing.prefixes',array('admin'));
For the JobsController example that you mentioned to us what all you need to do to make it work is:
<?php
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
class JobsController extends AppController {
public $scaffold = 'admin';
}
Because the way to make Routing Prefixes work is to declare methods with the prefixes, not use an additional controller:
<?php
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
class ArticlesController extends AppController {
function admin_index() {
//This method can be found under /admin/articles
}
}

I'm trying to define a shell for my Cakephp App. This is the code:
<?php
App::uses('AppModel','Model');
class UserShell extends AppShell {
public $uses = array('User');
public function show() {
$user = $this->User->findByUsername($this->args[0]);
$this->out(print_r($user, true));
}
}
?>
but when I try to execute the command
./cake user show anyUserName
the console returns the error
Class 'AppModel' not found in /var/www/cakeprova_2.5.7/lib/Cake/Utility/ClassRegistry.php on line 186
I have the file AppModel.php at its own place, so I don't know what's wrong... Can anybody help me please?
You are using App::uses() wrong.
It is meant to include classes you need in this file not others.
So
a) Fix your statements in this shell file, and add App::uses('AppShell', 'Console/Command');
b) You are most likely missing an App::uses('AppModel','Model'); in your User model class file then.
Because there you are saying class User extends AppModel {}, right?
Thank you Mark! The error was explained: I put the file in the wrong directory:
/lib/Cake/Console/Command
but after putting it in the right dir:
/app/Console/Command
it worked. But great thank for your help
I found this error when I migrate cakephp 1.3 to 2.10
I update Model/AppModel.php as below and fixed the error.
App::import('Vendor', 'Find.find_app_model');
class AppModel extends FindAppModel {
To
App::uses('Model', 'Model');
class AppModel extends Model {
I tried all the suggested solution for this problem which is clearing your cache folders. I also disable the cache Configure::write('Cache.disable', true); My debug level is set to 2. But I always get a same error. The table that is missing is only new added table. By the way, I'm only running in my localhost.
this is my model named Department.php
<?php
class Department extends AppModel {
public $name = 'Department';
}
?>
this is my controller name DepartmentsController.php
<?php
class DepartmentsController extends AppController {
public $name = 'Departments';
public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form','Session');
public $components = array('RequestHandler','Session');
function index() {
$this->Department->recursive = 0;
$this->set('departments', $this->paginate());
}
}
?>
Advance thank you for the answer! :D
Assuming you are actually using a database I would try the following things:
If your database table isn't named using the cakephp conventions, manually set it:
public $useTable = 'table_name';
Make sure your database config is using the right database in app/config/database.php
If that model is in a plugin, use the plugin syntax when including it in the controller:
public $uses=array('PluginName.Department');
I'm still trying to migrate from CakePHP 1.3 to 2.0
I have a Controller UsersController and its Model User.
The class User has some constants which I could easily access from the UsersController using User::constant. But for CakePHP 2.0 it doesn't work: I get an error saying the User class is not found. It works if I App::Import('Model', 'User');.
It sure has to do with their built-in lazy loading in 2.0!
you simple need to tell this file that it has other dependencies
do that at the very top of your UserController file:
<?php
App::uses('User', 'Model');
then everything works fine
You can try setting the controller name (in UsersController):
var $name = 'Users';
Or using the "uses" var (in other controllers:
public $uses = array('User');
Does that not work?
Did you declare the name of the model like that ?
class User extends AppModel {
public $name = 'User';
}
Do you have others variables in your UsersController ?
I set variables in the model like this:
//Person model
public $genders = array('m' => 'male', 'f' => 'female');
Then get them from the controller like this:
//People controller
$genders = $this->Person->genders;
No special code needed. (Is this what you're talking about?)
Also, I don't believe you need to set the $name variable anywhere anymore - I think that was just for PHP 4. (not 100% on that part, but... I don't ever set that anymore, and my Cake2 apps run fine)
You have to load the model like this:
$this->loadModel('User');
I've get this message when I tried to use a wrong controller and I figured it out that I'm not getting the right Error from cakephp I've got in 2.0.0 the right one:
Now when I try a wrong controller I get only this message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function Flash() on a non-object in
/srv/www/htdocs/web843/HTML/schaetzmal/lib/Cake/View/Layouts/default.ctp
on line 44
Does cakephp 2.0.3 have an bug or do I miss something to install to let work this or something else what I can do?
Make sure you've added the Session helper to your public $helpers array.
class SomethingsController extends AppController {
public $helpers = array('Session');
}
Or you could add it to a global AppController so that the Session helper is available to all controllers.
class AppController extends Controller {
public $helpers = array('Session');
}
I found some problems why my AppController didn´t work.
Like mensch says i have to use Session in my AppController for global but that´s not the solution because the book of cakephp says in "a global AppController"
NOTE
CakePHP merges the following variables from the AppController to your application’s controllers:
$components
$helpers
$uses
but it´s not happening. Because i overwrite it in the public variable $helpers.
therfore i take the parent given one and merge it with it:
<?
class AppController extends Controller {
public $viewClass = 'Theme';
public $theme;
public function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->theme = 'SM';
$this->helpers = array('Form','Html','Js');
}
}
?>
the $this->helpers = array('Form','Html','Js'); do the merge and it works fine.
thank you guys
thanks for helping mensch that was the hack i needed
I'm new to cakePhp development. I've stuck on following problem:
I've made few models, controllers and views - it works great. The problem is that after production, I have to made new table(Transactionaltemp table and corresponding model and controller ) in the db that logically is "connected" to other tables, but technically does not needs to - for ex. it holds temporary info on user_id, time, ip and similar. So, other tables doesn't need to be directly connected to that.
The problem is when I try (in some other controller than transactionaltemps_controller):
$this->loadModel('Transactionaltemp');
I get error - the model is not found (it is true because the model is missing in the cache). Interesting enough transactionaltempls_controller is in the cache (in the cake_controllers_list file).
I tried following stuff to resolve the problem:
clear cache
disable cache
tried using uses={..} code in the controller that I would like to use mymodels_controller
tried using init('Transactionaltemp')
with no success. Here is corresponding code:
The model:
<?php
class Transactionaltemp extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Transactionaltemp';
function beforeSave() {
return true;
}
}
?>
The controller:
<?php
class TransactionaltempsController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Transactionaltemps';
var $scaffold;
}
?>
I'll very grateful to any help!!!
App:Import('Model','Transactionaltemp');
$this->Transactionaltemp= new Transactionaltemp;
I hope this may work
If you are connecting to a table name with different name than your model, you must specify the table name in it:
<?php
class Transactionaltemp extends AppModel
{
var $uses = 'Transactional';
var $name = 'Transactionaltemp';
function beforeSave() {
return true;
}
}
Try
App::Import('Model', 'YourModelName');
in your controller (or where you want).
