Everyone.
I have been trying to create user info saving process, and bumped into this issue.
I wanted to use mysql function password() for password field, but seems no way to use MySQL function when to save data.
Is there any way to do this or simply it s impossible in CakePHP?
Thank you.
TLDR:
$this->data['MyModel']['password'] =
DboSource::expression('PASSWORD('.$password.')');
More Details:
I agree with the commenter that it's not ideal to do what you're asking, but if you really want to, you CAN run a regular MySQL query directly with the query() method. More info here:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/retrieving-your-data.html#model-query
Example:
$this->Picture->query("SELECT * FROM pictures LIMIT 2;");
Or use the method mentioned above in the "TLDR" which allows you to use MySQL functions to process your data.
Different (but recommended) method:
Here is the documentation on how to hash your password the CakePHP way:

I am working on a project based on CKAN, and I am required to list in a page all the datasets that have the state "active" and "draft". When you go to the datasets page, you can only see the ones that have the state marked as "active", but not "draft".
If I use the API (call the package_list() method) or REST calls (http://localhost/api/3/action/package_list), CKAN only returns "active" datasets, but not "drafts". I double and triple checked the documentation, and apparently one cannot lists the datasets by their state.
Does anybody have a clue on how to do this? Has anybody done this already?
Thanks!
If nothing else, you could write an extension to do this. The database call itself will be pretty simple:
SELECT id,title,name FROM package WHERE state='active' OR state='draft';
I managed to modify CKAN core to list the datasets that do not have the state "draft" or "deleted", and it works, but I do no want to touch CKAN's core, I want to do this using a plugin, so the normal thing to do is to implement plugins.IActions and override the package_list method with a custom one. I have already written my own extension to try to modify CKAN behavior on method package_list(), but I can't seem to figure it out how to make it work.
Here is my code:
#side_effect_free
def package_list_custom(context, data_dict=None):
datasets = []
dataset_q = (model.Session.query(model.Package)
.join(model.PackageRole))
for dataset in dataset_q:
if dataset.state != 'draft' and dataset.state != 'deleted':
datasets.append(dataset)
return [dataset.id for dataset in datasets]
class Cnaf_WorkflowPlugin(plugins.SingletonPlugin):
plugins.implements(plugins.IActions)
def get_actions(self):
return {
'package_list' : package_list_custom
}
If I modify CKAN core it works very well, but the problem is that I am not to touch it, so I am obliged to do it via an extension.
EDIT: Ok, I managed to make it work, you need to decorate the method with #side_effect_free. I modified my code, and now it works.
The package_search API is capable of this, by searching for state:draft and setting the include_drafts=True flag. Something like this:
https://my-site.com/api/action/package_search?q=state:draft&include_drafts=True
You should be able to access this from a plugin with something like: ckan.plugins.toolkit.get_action('package_search')(context=context, data_dict={'q': 'state:draft', 'include_drafts': True}) (you'll need to assemble the context yourself, containing a 'user' key for the current username and a 'userobj' key for the current user object).
Then make a page from the results.
I'm writing a url shortener, I already solve url shortening. Given a certain long URL (LURL), I get a CODE with the help of a script and a database to form a short URL (SURL) of the type:
mysite.com/CODE
So the ralationship between the code and the LURL is stored and must be consulted in the DB. Now as you can see I need a way to do that. My plan is that all the all url in mysite.com direct to the same page where the CODE is taken as a parameter and in this way make a consult in the db fetching the code from the SURL and then redirect with a script to the LURL.
I dont want to generate a SURL that uses a GET request like:
mysite.com/?CODE
It would be easier but I decided not to do it because it defeats the propose of url shorteners by occupying a character unnecessarily.
How would you implement it? Is this method convenient? If you do not think so I would really appreciate you give me your opinion. Maybe there are better ways to do it now that I already have the DB and the shortening algorithm. See you later.
http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/get_current_page_url.php
check out the curPageURL() function.
$pageURL = curPageURL();
$itemArray= explode("/", $pageURL);
$myCode = $itemArray[1];
something like that will do, but not tested. It just gives you an idea of what you can do.
also, to get the url, here is an simplified version: http://phpeasystep.com/phptu/27.html
Hi I have this sentence
$g->addButton('')->set('NEW ACTIVITY')->js('click')->univ()->redirect('newactivity');
Is it possible to call the "redirect" method and passing parameters via $_GET ? so in the page "newactivity" I can ask for $_GET['something'] ?
Something like this
$g->addButton('')->set('NEW ACTIVITY')->js('click')->univ()->redirect('newactivity?id=1'); (this doesn't work)
or
$g->addButton('')->set('NEW ACTIVITY')->js('click')->univ()->redirect('newactivity','id=1');
Thanks
What you need is to properly build destination URL.
http://agiletoolkit.org/learn/understand/page/link
->univ()->redirect($this->api->getDestinationURL('newactivity',array('id'=>1)));
using stickyGET will affect ALL the urls you are going to produce form this point on. So if you add 2 links, each of them would be passing ID.
stickyGET is better if you need to pass argument which was already passed through GET, such as
array('id'=>$_GET['id']);

I use CakePHP 1.3.9 but I can't use other Models in a Controller.
I use $this->loadModel('ModelName); and $this->ModelName->find('all') - always empty.
The variable $uses also doesn't work.
Why is it not working for me?
I used i18n and must set $locale...
Do you mean the data set is empty? If the model is not loaded, you shouldn't be able to call $this->ModelName->find() as $this->ModelName would be null. Does it throw an error? Your usage is correct, as stated in the manual : http://book.cakephp.org/view/992/loadModel
You can also do
App::import('Model', 'ModelName');
$model = new Model();
But I'm guessing that your current resultset is returning empty rather than the model itself not being set.
Have you tried looking at what $this->ModelName actually contains? Do the following and post it here
pr($this->ModelName)
It's considered bad practice to put (un-associated) models in your $uses array.
Depending what you are trying to do, you may be able to make use of containable behaviour.
$this->User->Post->find('all');
If not, you should be able to use loadModel:
$this->loadModel('Article');
$recentArticles = $this->Article->find('all', array('limit' => 5));
To quote Cake:
The loadModel function comes handy when you need to use a model which is not the controller's default model or its associated model.
JohnP and Ross are correct. Controller::loadModel() is clearly working and not your problem if pr($this->ModelName) is working for you.
As they mentioned, you're probably having trouble because the data simply isn't in the database. Or maybe there's something wrong with your query. Have you tried checking the query that's produced by CakePHP and trying to query the database directly through the MySQL command line (assuming you're using MySQL)?
Or is there any chance you've overloaded the Model::find() method?
How does cakephp handle a get request? For instance, how would it handle a request like this...
http://us.mc01g.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?.gx=1&.rand=9553121_pg=showFolder&fid=Inbox&order=down&tt=1732&pSize=20&.rand=425311406&.jsrand=3
Would "mc" be the controller and "welcome" be the action?
How is the rest of the information handled?
Also note that you could use named parameters as of Cake 1.2. Named parameters are in key:value order, so the url http://somesite.com/controller/action/key1:value1/key2:value2 would give a a $this->params['named'] array( 'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2' ) from within any controller.
If you use a CNN.com style GET request (http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/books/04/27/ayn.rand.atlas.shrugged/index.html), the parameters are in order of appearance (2009, SHOWBIZ, books, etc.) in the $this->params['pass'] array, indexed starting at 0.
I strongly recommend named paramters, as you can later add features by passing get params, without having to worry about the order. I believe you can also change the named parameter separation key (by default, it's ':').
So it's a slightly different paradigm than the "traditional" GET parameters (page.php?key1=value1&key2=value2). However, you could easily add some logic in the application to automatically parse traditional parameters into an array by tying into how the application parses requests.
CakePHP uses routes to determine this. By default, the routes work as you described. The remainder after the '?' is the querystring and it can be found in $this->params['url'] in the controller, parsed into an associative array.
Since I found this while searching for it, even though it's a little old.
$this->params['url']
holds GET information.
I have tested but it does work. The page in the Cakephp book for it is this link under the 'url' section. It even gives an example very similar to the one in the original question here. This also works in CakePHP 1.3 which is what I'm running.
It doesn't really use the get in the typical since.
if it was passed that long crazy string, nothing would happen. It expects data in this format: site.com/controller/action/var1/var2/var....
Can someone clarify the correct answer? It appears to me that spoulson's and SeanDowney's statements are contradicting each other?
Would someone be able to use the newest version of CakePHP and get the following url to work:
http://www.domain.com/index.php/oauth/authorize?oauth_version=1.0&oauth_nonce=c255c8fdd41bd3096e0c3bf0172b7b5a&oauth_timestamp=1249169700&oauth_consumer_key=8a001709e6552888230f88013f23d5d004a7445d0&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_signature=0bj5O1M67vCuvpbkXsh7CqMOzD0%3D
oauth being the controller and authorize being a method AS WELL as it being able to accept the GET request at the end?
