I am using cake php now. I have two file example1.ctp and example2.ctp. I want to include example2.ctp in example1.ctp just like how we add php page using "include". I am new to this please suggest me how to do it.
According to me , You have to create Elements..
CakePHP can help you repeat parts of your website that need to be reused. These reusable parts are called Elements.
<?php echo $this->element('ur elements ctp file name'); ?>

I've been reading until my eyes are swollen, and having troubles finding what should be a simple answer.
I am not new to PHP, but I am new to cakePHP. Please bear with me, and have patience with my ignorance of lack of knowledge of the terminology.
I have been asked to help make some fixes on a cakePHP developed site, that was recently created.
The site is missing a page for "http://domain.com/logout". I can see the functions I need to access in the UserController, but I am not sure where to put the .ctp file to generate the view.
Let's just say I want the logout.ctl file to be something as simple as:
echo "Hello World";
Under my app/View folder I have the sub-folders Home, & User that I have tried to place this file into. I am assuming I have to do something else as well, but I have not been able to locate what that is.
Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks for reading!
1.By default, you should link your view and controller together by creating Views/Controller/action.ctp.
Since the url is linked to Controller by routes, views are not associated with it directly.
For example, if you have set
Router::connect('/logout/', array('controller' => 'User', 'action' => 'logout'));
, then you may want to create Views/User/logout.ctp.
If you have set
Router::connect('/logout/', array('controller' => 'Home', 'action' => 'logout'));
, then you may want to create Views/Home/logout.ctp.
2.You can change the view in your action with $this->view='sample' or $this->render('sample'); and then create the view file with name sample.ctp.
3.You can also read a view of another folder with $this->render('/Sample/logout');.
Reference: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/controllers.html
4.If you use themes $this->theme = 'Example';, the default view file will be set to /app/View/Themed/Example/Posts/edit.ctp.

5.I think the default extension of cakephp view files is .ctp but not .ctl. .ctl is used by Microsoft Visual Studio? I'm not quite sure.
I have a Wordpress blog and I'm developing a backend application using Cakephp.
I want to develop the blog's contact form using cake (since the entered information will be available from the backend app).
Right now, I tried including the cake view into wp using ajax. The problem with this approach is that I either use a Js->submit, which makes attaching files to the form quite complicated, or I use a Form->submit, which makes displaying validation errors problematic. Also, it creates problems with the recaptcha plugin not showing up.
Is there a way of integrating the form using php? I don't need authentication (it is a public form), but I need to be able to show validation errors on the form and upload files on the form.
Actually, you can load any website into a string using CURL, if you load en empty page with a placeholder from your wordpress, you can then use it as your layout
<?php
$url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/emptypage";
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$output = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl)
$placeholder = "{{CONTENT}}"
$placeholderPos = strpos($output,$placeholder);
$beginning = substr($output,0,$placeholderPos);
$end = substr($output,$placeholderPos+strlen($placeholder));
echo $beginning;
////// your form //////
echo $end;
?>
You may have to deal with relative path after that, but this should get you started.
So, I finally found a way I think is the best since it uses cake classes.
I created a file new_file.php on webroot that is basically a copy of index.php but instead of using a generic request it requests the specific page I'm looking for:
$Dispatcher = new Dispatcher();
$Dispatcher->dispatch(new CakeRequest('CONTROLLER/ACTION'), new CakeResponse(array('charset' => Configure::read('App.encoding'))));
Of course, you'll have to change 'CONTROLLER/ACTION' to whatever your controller is.
After that, you only have to include the file in a WordPress plugin.
There is only one more change. There are some methods that conflict with WP declarations. PHP will complain when you include the above file. You have to find those method and wrap them into an if to make sure the method is not redeclared. This can break some functionality like localization (function __()) but it is ok if what you are including is not a very complex cake application.
if (!function_exists('methodName')) {
Hopefully the last issue will be solved once Cake 3 is out with namespaces support.
I am using cakePHP v1.26.
In the default.ctp file,
I got a single of this code in it:
$session->flash();
I came a corss a web site in which the author suggested using this instead:
if($session->check('Message.flash')){
$session->flash();
}
I do not understand what this line of code is doing:
if($session->check('Message.flash')){...}
what is "Message.flash" in this case?
Is "Message.flash" a custom variable or
a built-in varibale which has been predefined in cakePHP?
Message.flash is the session variable name. It will be defined by cakephp, when you use $this->Session->setFlash('Your message'); from your controller.
if($session->check('Message.flash')){...} checks, if session Message.flash, which contains the flash message, exists.
Note also that contrary to the current manual description, $session->flash() does not echo the result, it just returns it, so you will need to have
echo $session->flash();
in your view.
For latest cakephp version
if(!($this->Session->check('Message.flash')));
// your code
In view section for show messages.
$this->Session->flash();
I have been looking into this for a while and can't figure it out. Basically I have an add page for my model which you can add a map from a URL or from a file upload. I have got all the fields and validation in but how and where do I manage the uploaded file?? There must be some easy way to do this. Thanks!
Firstly your form needs to be set up to allow file uploads.
<?php echo $form->create(Model, array('type' => 'file')); ?>
This will allow any file inputs to actually upload the file to your server with $form->file(field) or $form->input(field, array('type' => 'file')).
Once the file has been uploaded you should handle everything else from within the Model:
function beforeSave($created) {
extract($this->data[Model][field]);
if ($size && !$error) {
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, destination);
$this->data[Model][field] = destination;
}
return true;
}
These are only the basics, so be sure to have a play around to find the solution that best fits your needs.
You can use Zend Components to handle the file upload. There is a good example here on my website:
CakePHP file upload using Zend Components
NOTE: MeioUploadBehavior has been deprecated. Instead jrbasso suggests the Upload Plugin.
In addition to the fine answers already given I want to hint about MeioUploadBehavior, currently maintained by jrbasso at github, which has been a great help for me in my own CakePHP project.
You simply add the behavior to your model using the $actsAs field and at the same time specifying any custom preferences. Then create necessary fields (described by supplied docs in detail) in your database, or configure the model to not use any database table. Finally setup the form in your add page, also described in the supplied documentation. The behavior will then take care of the rest for you.
I'd like to link to some PDFs in one of my controller views. What's the best practice for accomplishing this? The CakePHP webroot folder contains a ./files/ subfolder, I am confounded by trying to link to it without using "magic" pathnames in my href (e.g. "/path/to/my/webroot/files/myfile.pdf").
What are my options?
EDIT: I didn't adequately describe my question. I was attempting to link to files in /app/webroot/files/ in a platform-agnostic (ie. no mod_rewrite) way.
I've since worked around this issue by storing such files outside the CakePHP directory structure.
$html->link('Pdf', '/files/myfile.pdf');
This is somewhat tangential, but for access to such a location in Models and other places you can simply do this:
$file = WWW_ROOT . DS . 'files' . DS;
This tactic might be helpful to someone accessing files for static data loading, such as XML or JSON.
This is not recommended for public consumption or public linking.
I can confirm that this is an issue when mod_rewrite is not being used.
<?php echo $html->link('pdf', '/files/test.pdf'); ?>
outputs
pdf
it should output
pdf
This should work
<?php echo $html->link('pdf', $this->webroot('files'.DS.'test.pdf'); ?>
I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but here goes. Basically any file you put in the webroot folder will be accessible on the webserver, so if you put the file in webroot/files/file.pdf you would simply link to /files/file.pdf.
If that doesn't work, please clarify your question...
