I have a main page(controller_welcome => C_W), and another controllers; these extends from Controller_DefaultTemplatre(C_DT). In C_DT i have a function called addScripts() and addCss() these adds to url of the javascripts files and Css respectly to the View template, and getScripts() this last function get the array of the Scrips added by the current controller.
In C_W I have an action that calls anothers controllers via Request::factory("KONTROLLER/AKTION"); and puts all in the current template request.
/* content of the C_W */
$params = array();
$controller1_request = Request::factory("controller1/index");
$controller1_response = $controller1_request->execute();
$params["extra"] .= $controller1_response->body();
$controller2_request = Request::factory("controller2/index");
$controller2_response = $controller2_request->execute();
$params["extra"] .= $funny_response->body();
$this->template->content = View::factory("welcome/index", $params);
My question is: How I can add Scripts to the C_W Template from the Request::factory("controller1/index");?
Static vars?
For example, rewrite your addScripts() and addCss() to work with a static properties, so you can call it from any instance of C_DT. Of course, those methods must be static.
Or create special static class (helper) for it.

In CakePHP 4.x I'm having some trouble with the mailer() function, specifically passing variables from my controller to a template.
I need a user to be able to receive an email with a list of items. I'm able to use ajax to send an array to my controller, but I can't get the controller to pass the variables to the email template. I'm getting the email but not the dynamic content and I just can't get it to work via setViewVars.
My controller function:
public function bar(): void
{
if( $this->request->is('ajax') ) {
$this->request->allowMethod('ajax');
$foo = $this->request->getQuery('data');
// data is a stringified array
$mailer = new Mailer("default");
$mailer->viewBuilder()->setTemplate('default','default');
$mailer
->setEmailFormat('html')
->setFrom(['email#email.com' => 'Comparaciones'])
->setTo('email#email.com')
->setSubject('About')
>setViewVars($foo)
->send();
// ->deliver() doesn't work either
}
}
My template:
// standard cakephp default template
$content = explode("\n", $content);
foreach ($content as $line) :
echo '<p> ' . $line . "</p>\n";
endforeach;
I'm probably tripping up with something simple, I just can't get the array into the template. Any help much appreciated!!!
I want to get the value from the array I've passed from the first view to another view.
I found this works by using route (not url), but I don't know how to get it without parameter in the controller.
Please help me within the right syntax.
This is the latest code I've tried
$id = $request->id;
if($request->has('download', 'id')){
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdfview');
return $pdf->download('pdfview.pdf',['id'=>$id])->with('id',$id);}
This is my code *used to download pdf file from a view
Controller
public function pdfview(Request $request)
{
$items = DB::table("items")->get();
view()->share('items',$items);
$id = $request->only(['id']);
if($request->has('download', 'id')){
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdfview');
return $pdf->download('pdfview.pdf', ['id'=>$id])->with('id', $id);
}
return view('pdfview', ['id'=>$id])->with('id', $id);
}
Route
Route::get('pdfview',array('as'=>'pdfview','uses'=>'MaatwebsiteDemoController#pdfview'));
View
Download PDF
I want to get the $employee->nip value
But it is still Undefined variable: id
Don't really have time to test it. But this thread looks promising.
https://laravel.io/forum/03-14-2016-basics-passing-info-from-one-view-to-another
I am trying to create a list of controller objects
use App\Controller\AccessController;
foreach ($controllerlist as $controllerName){
require_once($path); // path for the controller
$clsobj = new $controllerName ();
$methods = get_class_methods($clsobj);
}
In this way I am getting a class not found error
EX:AccessController not found
but when I hard code the controller name and use it`s work
$clsobj = new AccessController (); // this way its work
Any Idea how to do ?
I'm using Cakephp 2.4.3 . I've read that "There are CakePHP plugins that are able to generate sitemaps for you. This way your sitemap.xml file will be created dynamically on demand and will always be up to date." . I've searched but all I find are from old cakephp version which is not useful as they only cause errors .
Is there still a good plugin for this?
Some plugins definitely exist:
https://github.com/sdevore/cakephp-sitemap-plugin
https://github.com/smarek/Croogo-Sitemap-2.0
https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Seo-Plugin
Are these the old, error-causing ones? As each CakePHP site can be radically different to the next, I'm not sure a one-size-fits-all solution will exist.
If you end up writing your own sitemap implementation, it'll depend mainly on whether your site has:
Lots of database-driven content with few controllers/actions (like a typical WordPress-style site)
Lots of controller/action driven content (more of a web application)
In the first case, you'd want to perform finds on your content, and inject the results into an xml template like this: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/masterkeedu/2008/08/26/automatically-generate-dynamic-sitemaps
For the second case, the following may help: a component I've used for development/testing, which lists all controllers and their methods:
<?php //File: app/Controller/Component/CtrlComponent.php
// Component rewritten for Cake2.x, original from : http://cakebaker.42dh.com/2006/07/21/how-to-list-all-controllers/
class CtrlComponent extends Component {
/**
* Return an array of Controllers and their methods.
* The function will exclude ApplicationController methods
* #return array
*/
public function get() {
$aCtrlClasses = App::objects('controller');
foreach ($aCtrlClasses as $controller) {
if ($controller != 'AppController') {
// Load the controller
App::import('Controller', str_replace('Controller', '', $controller));
// Load its methods / actions
$aMethods = get_class_methods($controller);
foreach ($aMethods as $idx => $method) {
if ($method{0} == '_') {
unset($aMethods[$idx]);
}
}
// Load the ApplicationController (if there is one)
App::import('Controller', 'AppController');
$parentActions = get_class_methods('AppController');
$controllers[$controller] = array_diff($aMethods, $parentActions);
}
}
return $controllers;
}
}
In reality, a full sitemap probably uses both methods, and you'll need to consider the difference between public and "private" areas of your site (excluding admin prefixes, for example)..
I need to share data between a component and helper. I'm converting my self-made payment service formdata generator to a CakePHP plugin and I'd like to be able to fill in the payment data from the controller(using a component) and use a helper to print out the data.
Everything I've tried so far have felt a little too hacky, so let me ask you: Is there any elegant way to pass data from a component to a helper?
edit:
I solved this particular situation by adding the original formadata class instance to ClassRegistry during the component initialization. This way the helper too can access the instance using ClassRegistry.
However, this only works for objects, so the question remains open.
Having a similar problem, I found this solution to work best for me.
You could use the helper's __construct method in pair with $controller->helpers array.
Since the Helper::_construct() is called after the Component::beforeRender, you can modify the $controller->helpers['YourHelperName'] array to pass the data to your helper.
Component code:
<?php
public function beforeRender($controller){
$controller->helpers['YourHelperName']['data'] = array('A'=>1, 'B'=>2);
}
?>
Helper code:
<?php
function __construct($View, $settings){
debug($settings);
/* outputs:
array(
'data' => array(
'A' => (int) 1,
'B' => (int) 2
)
)
*/
}
?>
I am using CakePHP 2.0, so this solution should be tested for earlier versions.
Is there any elegant way to pass data from a component to a helper?
Yes, the same way you pass any data to the helper. In your view.
Inside your component I would do something like the following. The beforeRender() action is a CakePHP component callback.
public function beforeRender(Controller $controller) {
$yourVars = 'some data';
$goHere = 'other stuff';
$controller->set(compact('yourVars', 'goHere'));
}
Then in your view you can pass the data off to your helpers just like normal.
// view or layout *.ctp file
$this->YourHelper->yourMethod($yourVars);
$this->YourHelper->otherMethod($goHere);
In addition to what #Vanja, you can also do this just prior to instantiating a new view in your controller:
// In your controller method
// must be set prior to instantiating view
$this->helpers['YourHelperName']['paramsOrAnyName'] = ['var' => $passed_var];
$_newView = new View($this);
$return_result = $_newView->render($element_to_view, $layout);
