I created a Component and in this component I try to redirect to a different controller/action, but I get the error: "Error: Call to undefined method SessionRestComponent::redirect()"
My Component code:
function iniciaSessao($username=''){
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
// debug(isset($_SESSION['username']));
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'registos', 'action' => 'indexUser'));
}
}
Anyone can help me?
You need to get the controller - for example in initialize() or startup()
Then redirect using this controller.
public function startup(Controller $controller) {
$this->Controller = $controller;
}
public function iniciaSessao() {
...
$this->Controller->redirect($url);
}
and do not use $_SESSION directly, use $this->Session component as documented.
You just need to add the component to your custom component:
public $components = array('Session');
For those using Cakephp 3 here's a link. Where inside the component
function iniciaSessao($username=''){
...
$this->_registry->getController()->redirect($url);
}

In CakePHP each method of a Controller has its own View and the view template file is the name of the method.
class DataController extends AppController
{
public function one()
{
// will render one.ctp
}
public function two()
{
// will render two.ctp
}
}
Accourding to the API documentation there is a $view property of the Controller that specifies the view to render. So I should have the ability to specify a default view file, say all.ctp, for all methods of a controller
class DataController extends AppController
{
public $view = 'all';
public function one()
{
// should render all.ctp
}
public function two()
{
// should render all.ctp
}
}
However this does not work and CakePHP ignores the $view property and continues to look for the template file of the same name as the method.
Is there a way to have a default view without having to insert $this->render('all'); in each of the Controller's methods?
The value is going to be overridden in Controller::setRequest() which is being called in the controllers class constructor.
You could use your controllers beforeFilter() callback instead to set the value:
public function beforeFilter()
{
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->view = 'all';
}
I used AkismetComponent in AkisHelper and my AkisHelper code is:
<?php
App::uses('AppHelper', 'View/Helper');
class AkisHelper extends AppHelper {
public $helpers = array('Html');
public $components = array('Akismet');
function isValid() {
if ($this->Akismet->isKeyValid()) {
echo 'OK';
} else {
echo 'Error';
}
}
}
But this error occured:
Error: Call to a member function isKeyValid() on a non-object
File: /var/www/cakeblog/app/View/Helper/AkisHelper.php
Line: 10
Please help me to solve my problem.
Thanks
Your not supposed to be able to n_n.. It's not MVC, it's like trying to call a controller method inside the view.
However you could always pass a variable to the view in your Akismet component, something like:
class AkismetComponent extends Component {
private $controller;
public function initialize($controller) {
$this->controller = $controller;
//here I pass a variable to the view
$this->controller->set('isKeyValid',$this->isKeyValid());
}
and in your view use it like any other variable:
if(isset($isKeyValid) && $isKeyValid){
}
Anyway, if you don't want to change the component, you could still pass the variable from the controller.
The view should be used only to display the information. Helpers should be only functions to help you with that, but they are not supposed to do business logic.
Hope this helps
I'm working on a CakePHP 1.2 app where I don't have control over the /app directory and have relocated my views folder to, say /path/to/mycomponent/views and can render my views by setting my controller's default view path
var $viewPath = "mycomponent/views";
I have some layouts (including basic.ctp) under /path/to/mycomponent/views/layouts
Is there a way to render my views inside a specific layout?
Calling this from my controller gives me a page not found error:
function index()
{
$this->autoLayout = true;
$this->pageTitle = 'Browse items';
$this->render("browse", "basic");
// also tried: $this->render("browse", "/path/to/mycomponent/views/layouts/basic.ctp");
}
Finally got it to work by adding a path to the viewPaths array of the app configuration. This code goes in you controller constructor or in the override beforeFilter metod:
$config = Configure::getInstance();
$config->viewPaths[] = " /path/to/mycomponent/views/";
Now I can just specify the following:
$this->layout = 'basic';
And my controller's views render in the basic.ctp layout.
Just for any further reference.
I believe in cakePhp 2.x it's to be done this way.
public function beforeRender() {
parent::beforeRender();
$this->layout = 'mylayout';
}
which would go to the path: /app/View/Layouts/mylayout.ctp
Note:
If you want to modify the view paths for some controller, add before the controller class declaration:
App::build(array('View' => '/Folder/'));
class ExampleController extends AppController{...}
which will set the path for all rendered view for Example controller to /app/Views/Folder/
so the full example would be:
App::build(array('View' => '/Folder/'));
class ExampleController extends AppController{
public function beforeRender() {
parent::beforeRender();
$this->layout = 'mylayout';
}
public function index() {
$this->render('Home');
//This will load view: "/app/Views/Folder/Home.ctp"
//From layout: "/app/Views/Layouts/mylayout.ctp"
}
}
I need to know in a helper in a CakePHP application if the device is mobile, I would love to use $this->RequestHandler->isMobile(), but the request handler component is not available in helpers. Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can import the class and use it anywhere in the framework like so:
App::import('Component', 'RequestHandler'); // import class
$requestHandler = new RequestHandlerComponent(); // instantiate class
$isMobile = $requestHandler->isMobile(); // call method
var_dump($isMobile); // output: bool(true) or bool(false)
(Tested from helper and gives correct results for Firefox and iPhone)
Also, any options you set in the Controller::helpers property will be passed to the helper:
class AppController extends Controller {
public $components = array(/*...*/, 'RequestHandler');
public $helpers = array(/*...*/, 'MyHelper');
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->helpers['MyHelper']['mobile'] = $this->RequestHandler->isMobile();
}
}
You can catch the options array in your helper's constructor:
class MyHelper extends AppHelper {
protected $_defaultOptions = array('mobile' => false);
public function __construct($options) {
$this->options = array_merge($this->_defaultOptions, $options);
}
}
The accepted answer suggests using a component inside a helper which should be avoided as components are for use solely in controllers and will result in errors as mentioned by Anupal.
The simple solution is to use the CakeRequest class that RequestHandlerComponent uses. So in your helper you can do:-
App::uses('CakeRequest', 'Utility');
$isMobile = (new CakeRequest())->is('mobile');
In Component I try to access Myprofile Model
class SignMeupComponent extends Object
public function register() {
$this->__isLoggedIn();
if (!empty($this->controller->data)) {
extract($this->settings);
$model = $this->controller->modelClass;
$this->controller->loadModel($model);
$this->controller->{$model}->Myprofile->save($this->controller->data);
$this->controller->data['Myprofile']['user_id'] = $this->controller->{$model}->id;
$this->controller->{$model}->set($this->controller->data);
if ($this->controller->{$model}->validates()) {
how to use $this->controller->modelclass
how to use any model in component
thank for any suggest
$this->controller is not defined by default. You have to save a reference to the controller manually, for example in the initialize() method of your component:
public function initialize(&$controller, $settings = array()) {
$this->controller = $controller;
}
Then you should be able to access the controller's properties and methods.
