I'm using cakephp, and I've run into a very strange thing. My form is setup to use a post method, but is using put automatically. Has anyone else come across this? How do I fix this? Why is this happening?
This is caused by the inclusion or omission of the current records id field. If you include an id the form automatically becomes and 'edit', without an id it will be a 'create'

I think I screwed up somewhere while trying to create a django-cms plugin and now I am unable to go back. The plugin (called sbbplugin) seems to be "working" (it gets displayed) but whenever I try to publish the site I get the following error:
DatabaseError at /admin/cms/page/18/publish/
relation "cmsplugin_sbbmodel" does not exist
LINE 1: ...id", "cmsplugin_sbbmodel"."cmsplugin_ptr_id" FROM "cmsplugin...
^
I tried removing the plugin but I can not do it because the page is not published. My plugin has no models or anything. Also I'm unable to remove the plugin from the page by clicking delete. Seems like the database is broken. Since I am not experienced enough to know what information you need I would appreciate it, if you could give me further instructions on what I should do.
Update: I think the problem is that I tried to use a model (sbbmodel) which I deleted. Should I try to add the model again? If so what should I do to fix the database? Do I have to run a migration for my app? Do I even have to register the plugin as an app?
Update2: So I tried to add the model again and migrate the app but I get the following error:
CommandError: One or more models did not validate:
sbbplugin.sbbmodel: Accessor for field 'cmsplugin_ptr' clashes with related field 'CMSPlugin.sbbmodel'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'cmsplugin_ptr'.
sbbplugin.sbbmodel: Reverse query name for field 'cmsplugin_ptr' clashes with related field 'CMSPlugin.sbbmodel'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'cmsplugin_ptr'.
S.sbbmodel: Accessor for field 'cmsplugin_ptr' clashes with related field 'CMSPlugin.sbbmodel'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'cmsplugin_ptr'.
S.sbbmodel: Reverse query name for field 'cmsplugin_ptr' clashes with related field 'CMSPlugin.sbbmodel'. Add a related_name argument to the definition for 'cmsplugin_ptr'.
which I do not really understand because I never specified a foreign key. I assume it is because I inherit from CMSPlugin. Any help?
I finally fixed it. First I removed every file that I created for my plugin. Then I deleted every instance of my plugin that was saved in the database. Unfortunately that did not solve the problem and I was still getting the same error even after restarting the server.
What did the trick was to go into phpPgAdmin and select all tables than choose "correct". It did not tell me what exactly the issue was but afterwards everything was back to normal again. So if you somehow run into the same problem, just "correct" your database automatically.
I dont understand why I am not able to update a field on the database based on the following code:
$this->User->id = 1;
$this->User->saveField('image','img/default_pic.png');
Basically, I want to change the current image in the Db with a new one.
The code above just clears the value that is currently in the image field, but does not add anything.
As an example, this is what happens:
id username image
=============================
1 admin mypic.jpg
2 john johnPic.jpg
After the code above is executed I get the following result
id username image
=============================
1 admin
2 john johnPic.jpg
I am confused at what is actually happening
SOLVED!
I decided to go back and check on my user.php model class and realized that I had attempted to use MeioUpload before and gave up, but I never removed the var actsAs entry.
As soon as I commented it out, I am now able to upload pictures.
For anyone else that might come across this issue, beforeSave might also caused these kind of problems, according to the following blog: http://blog.phplabs.net/2011/11/cakephp-savefield-not-working.html
Thanks,
What does the sql log say is happening?
My guess is you are actually doing something like
$this->User->saveField('image', $variable)
and $variable is either misspelled or is empty.
First time poster here, I'm a designer not skilled at all with php and I have a small issue I don't seem to be able to solve. I'm making a site in drupal 7 using a sub theme on zen.
Btw this is a great CMS, even though people say it's really more a developers CMS. I have no trouble to do what I need using views, rules, display suite etc. So a big thank you for all the developers out there making this such a good CMS. But for this apparently simple problem... no module will help me (I think) and I'm kinda stuck.
So here it is: I'd like to add a subtitle next to the title in all my pages.
So what I did was to add a custom field into the content type basic page (machine name: field_sub_title) which is a simple text field.
I uncommented the following line in my template.php
function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$variables, $hook) {
$variables['sub_title'] = t('field_sub_title');
}
Now my question is how do I load the content of my custom field into that variable?
I know i need to change the second part, but I don't have a clue as into what I need to change this.
Displaying the variable into the the page.tpl.php is something I know about so I only need help with the first part.
{EDIT}
Ok I found how to do this :)
I was looking for a solution in the wrong place. I don't need to change any thing in the template.php file.
Just needed to add this bit of code into my page.tpl.php:
<?php
print $node->field_sub_title['und'][0]['value'];
?>
So I'm posting this here for other Drupal newbies struggling with this....
Your solution may work for now, but there may be a more Drupal-y way to handle a problem like this. If you haven't noticed any problems yet, you may find one or more of the following issues down the road:
Someone who doesn't know php or Drupal theming may need to change the way this works.
If you're like me, you may forget where exactly in code this was implemented.
You may see superfluous markup and/or errors on nodes (content) that do not have this sub-title field (ie. event content not having a sub-title field while basic pages and news articles do).
When you add a field to a content type, it will automatically appear anytime content in that content type is displayed. You should be able to add the sub-title field for your page, event or whatever else you need and have it automatically appear in the markup.
You can 'manage display' of a content type to drag and drop the order for fields to appear. You could take it a step further by using a module like Display Suite to add formatting or layout per-content type.
If you feel like this isn't good enough and the markup for the subtitle must be at the same level as the page title (which is rare), at least add an if statement to make your code check to see if the variable is present before trying to print it. I'd also add a new variable and comments for code readability.
<?php
$subtitle = $node->field_sub_title['und'][0]['value'];
if($subtitle){
print $subtitle;
}
?>
Consider using field_get_items or field_view_value, or at least use the LANGUAGE_NONE constant instead of 'und'
See https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21field%21field.module/function/field_get_items/7 and https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!field!field.module/function/field_view_value/7
This has the added benefit of reducing the number of potential security holes you create.
I have a dashboard with a series of widgets. Per specification, the widgets need to be buried under a /widgets/ directory.
So I have added the following to my routes.php
Router::connect('/widget/:controller/:action/*', array());
But I seem to be running into trouble on widget/links/ and widget/links/view/1
I am new to CakePHP, but this doesn't seem all that impressive. I have yet to find anything in the Book or by search. So any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Well...at the risk of stating the obvious...your route starts with /widget/, but you indicate that you're trying to access it via a plural URI (/widgets/). That's a problem. If that's just a typo, it would help to know what error you're seeing when you "run into trouble".
UPDATE:
Yes that was a typo. I corrected it. The error that appears for widget/links/ is: Error: WidgetController could not be found. It appears my index/default route is the main problem.
Given that information, it appears that CakePHP thinks that widget is your controller. Cake processes routes top down and finds the first one that matches. Ensure that you don't have a route above this one that looks something like /:controller/... or any other route above this one that starts with a variable.
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?
