This is the example in the book, of a simple View Template
// app/View/Common/view.ctp
<h1><?php echo $this->fetch('title'); ?></h1>
<?php echo $this->fetch('content'); ?>
<div class="actions">
<h3>Related actions</h3>
<ul>
<?php echo $this->fetch('sidebar'); ?>
</ul> </div>
And this is how it might be extended
// app/View/Posts/view.ctp
<?php
$this->extend('/Common/view');
$this->assign('title', $post);
My question is:
How can I set a default value/content for (let's say) the title, in order to overwrite if needed ?
Thank you!
Fetch the var. If its not empty, echo it, otherwise echo the default.
$title = $this->fetch('title');
echo !empty($title) ? $title : 'Default';

I load the font-awesome.css (4.7.0) in the head tag of layout.ctp cakephp as shown below
<?php echo $this->Html->script('jquery-3.4.0.js');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->script('jquery-ui.min.js');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->script('popper.min.js');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->script('bootstrap.js');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->script('moment.js');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->css('jquery-ui.css');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->css('bootstrap.css');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->css('bootstrap-datetimepicker.min.css');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->css('all.min.css');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->css('jquery-ui.theme.css');?>
<?php echo $this->Html->css('font-awesome.css');?>
and then in my view, I just use the class called fa fa-fw fa-sort for showing sorting icon :
<td style="text-align: center;"> <?php echo __('No') ;?> <i class="fa fa-fw fa-sort"></i></td>
But result is the icon is not showed properly :
And there is an error in the console :
fontawesome-webfont.ttf:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
I have read several post about this issue and they solved it by setting/adding mime type to "woff2". But I don't know how to add that new mime type in cakePHP ?
I also have tried to put several fontawesome webfont, but this is not working also :
Need help. Thank you
So I finally found a solution :
I just change font directory to fonts and put fontawesome-webfont.ttf only as shown below :
And it's working like an angel
I must stres out that i’m not a developer so i might use some “unsupported” terms :).
Ok the issue, i have created custom post type called Firm. Also i have created field group with 7 fields (text fields mainly, including website URL field and Google map field) and i have made template that displays those fields on frontend page. Once it’s saved all data is saved in database and new post under post type Firm is created. So that all works great. The main problem/question is:
How can i display all new posts in that post type (Firm) on one page? I know i must create some loop, array for those posts, but as i said i’m not developer so i’m kind of stuck with this one.
If someone could give me a hint or some link, or any kind of pointers so i could figure out in what direction to go. Thanks in advance for your answers.
You can refer Wordpress Codex.
Check sample code given below
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'product', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ); // for more parameter check link http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Parameters
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
the_title();
// Displays Advanced custom field value
the_field('field-name');
echo '<div class="entry-content">';
the_content();
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
Ok thanks so far, thank you #Arun, i have come up with this:
<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'company', 'posts_per_page' => 10 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
the_title();
echo '<div class="entry-content">';
echo '<p>' . '<span>Official Wesite</span>' . '<span> : </span>' . get_field('web_site') . '</p>';
echo '</div>';
endwhile; ?>
<?php
$location = get_field('location');
if( !empty($location) ):
?>
<div class="acf-map">
<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>"></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
So im strugling now with how to incorporate this google map in loop. I do have title and website link for all posts but i need to have maps for each post as well.
Ok this is what i have at the end, and it's working.
<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'company', 'posts_per_page' => 15 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div class="boxy">
<div class="acf_company_name">
<h5>Company Name: </h5>
<p><?php the_field('company_name'); ?></p>
</div>
<div class="acf_full_name">
<h5>Full Name: </h5>
<?php the_field('full_name'); ?>
</div>
<div class="acf_vat">
<h5>VAT: </h5>
<?php the_field('vat'); ?>
</div>
<div class="acf_email">
<h5>E-mail: </h5>
<?php the_field('email'); ?>
</div>
<div class="acf_website">
<h5>Official website: </h5>
<?php the_field('website'); ?>
</div>
<?php if ( get_field('logo_company') ) : ?>
<div class="acf_logo_company"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php $image = get_field(logo_company); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" /></a></div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="acf_company_location"><?php $location = get_field('company_location');?>
<div class="acf-map">
<div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $location['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['lng']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $location['address']; ?>"></div>
</div></div>
<div class="acf_company_location">
<h5>Company location: </h5>
<?php the_field('company_location'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
I have many view like Shops, Categories, Products, Toppings....
And using the hardcoded Model names very often. Sometimes singular ot plural. like in the Shop's index.ctp
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li><?php echo $this->Html->link(__('New Shop'), array( 'action' => 'add'));?></li>
</ul>
<div class="page-header">
<h1><?php echo __('Shops'); ?></h1>
</div>
AND
<td><?php echo $shop['Shop']['id']; ?>
<td><?php echo $shop['Shop']['name']; ?>
<td><?php echo $shop['Shop']['street']; ?>
...
Is there a better way to dynamically use the model names?
Thank you.
Well, you can add $myshop = $shop['Shop']; at the top of your code so you can use $myshop['id'] but thats pretty much it. It's not weird to use variables where you need them.
If you really wanted to you could do the same that Controllers have, $this->modelClass property contains the model name.
In the controller
$this->set('modelClass', $this->modelClass);
In the view:
echo $shop[$modelClass]['field'];
I have created an element having a text field(Status Bar same as Facebook) which i extended in home/display view.
Code for element:
<?php
echo $this->Html->css('notes');
echo $this->Html->script(array('jquery','jquery.elastic','notes'));
?>
<div class="notescontainer">
<div class="share">Share:</div>
<div class="notes">Notes</div>
<div class="loading"></div>
<div class="img_top"></div>
<div class="text_status">
<?php
echo $this->form->create('Note', array('action' => 'notes'));
echo $this->form->input('notes',array('class' => 'notesbar', 'label'=>'', 'placeholder' => 'Write down you notes ...'));
?>
</div>
<div class="button_outside_border" id="share">
<div class="button_inside_border">
<?php
echo $this->form->submit('Share',array('alt' => 'Add', 'class' => 'sharebutton'));
echo $this->form->end();
?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="load_status_out"></div>
</div>
I want that when user shares the status it should re-appear on the same page that is display/home and for that i created a controller for retrieving the status entered by the user.
Controller:
<?php public function notes()
{
$this->set('allnotes', $this->Note->find('all'));
}?>
Controller View:
<?php
foreach($allnotes as $viewnotes):
{
echo $viewnotes['Note']['notes'];
echo "<br>";
}
endforeach;
?>
Now i want this controller view to be displayed on home/display view. Is there any way i can extend it in that element? I don`t want to add it directly on my home/display view as it already fully loaded.
You can use requestAction() to accomplish this, but in my experience it is buggy and a sign of design failure if you need it.
Alternatively you can turn all your view into elements, which can be embedded in each other in any arbitrary way. Then you can just call some shared code in the controller to populate all required models.
I'm trying to have an auto complete box in my application,where the values are retrieved from a table.
I want to share a form with set of users in the Users table. i have a link called 'Share' and when I click the link, the autocomplete box is generated.
Now when I type in the text box any letter, I want it to be auto suggested.
This is my view file, /views/main/home.ctp
<?php echo $javascript->link('prototype');?>
<?php echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous');?>
<?php echo $javascript->link('effects');?>
<?php echo $javascript->link('controls');?>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".Share<?=$r['Form']['id'];?>").click(function(){
$("#share<?=$r['Form']['id'];?>").toggle("show");
});
});
<li id="Share<?php echo $r['Form']['id']?>">
Share
<div id="share<?php echo $r['Form']['id']?>">
<?php echo $form->create('User', array('url' => '/forms/share'));?>
<?php echo $ajax->autoComplete('User.name', '/forms/autoComplete');?>
<?php echo $form->end('Share');?>
</div>
</li>
This is my auto_complete.ctp file:/views/forms/auto_complete.ctp
<?php echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous.js');?>
<?php echo $javascript->link('prototype.js');?>
<ul>
<?php foreach($users as $user): ?>
<li><?php echo $user['User']['name']; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
And this this the function in the forms_controller: /forms/autoComplete
function autoComplete()
{
$this->set('users',$this->User->find('all',array('conditions'=>array('User.name LIKE' => $this->data['User']['name'].'%'))));
$this->layout = "ajax";
}
I get the results in the auto_complete.ctp file, i.e, if I type in the letter 's' in the autoComplete text box, I get the corresponding users in that file, but I do not get those values in the text box. Someone help me please.
Well I found the answer myself.
Autocomplete feature of cakephp does not work if you use JQuery.
I removed the line
<?php echo $javascript->link('jquery');?>
and it is working...
EDIT:
If you also want to work with jquery and need the jquery.js file, you would need to enable no-conflict mode in jQuery,as given in the site
