I am very new to cakephp and I see a folder plugin in my application
when I go to the site I see the address as
mysite.com/user/mergerdata
mergerdata is a plugin
When I click on add I see this
mysite.com/account/mergerdata/add
so when I go to app/plugins/mergerdata/controllers/merger_controller
I dont see an add action, But I do see the user_add action there
Am I looking at the wrong place. Where is User comning from. Where is Add coming from ???
"user" is a prefix, similar to an admin prefix. You can read more about it on http://book.cakephp.org/view/950/Prefix-Routing
Basically, this feature allows you to have different methods for different levels of users, and the prefix ("user") is added to the front of the method name ("add").

I'm looking to edit Drupal's admin pages.
Some of the things I'm trying to achieve:
Remove is the the filter setting on the Content page/node/view. In other words, if I go to to the Content page and I filter by a certain type of node, then I leave that page, then come back, the filter setting is saved, I'd like it to reset each time I visit the Content page.
I would like to modify some of links associated with these pages, as an example on that Same Content page, the titles of the pages are linked to their 'front-end' views, I'd rather have them link to their 'edit' screens.
While I have been successful in modifying the front-end theme of Drupal, by editing the actual php files. I can't find the the same php files for the Admin theme. In our case we are using Seven (7.21). I've read something about views, and thought maybe the entire Admin theme is built as views, aka there no php files involved like the front-end theme has, but under the Views section I did not find any either. I'm still pretty new at this and coming from the Wordpress world, this is a Drupal is a lot different.
The logic for that section of the admin area is at (from the public root):
/modules/node
Specifically "node.admin.inc"
That being said, I don't recommend editing core scripts, as they will be overwritten when you update the core.
You could explore making your own module to supplement that page, or your own view or explore some pre-made modules, such as "Admin Views"
Find de view displayed and go to its configuration :
1 - Edit configuration view like suggested here : https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/44440/how-to-remember-exposed-filter-choices
2 - Rewrite output views to rewrite link : field https://www.drupal.org/node/1578524
Another option is to create and use your own dashboard/views to achive like you want http://definitivedrupal.org/suggestions/creating-custom-administrator-view-content
also you can see contrib module : https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_views
You don't have to use that default content overview page at all. Make your own instead:
Make a page view (you have to install views module if you already did not: https://www.drupal.org/project/views) and use table layout. Make sure that page paths starts with "admin" so it will use admin theme. Also pay attention about permissions, so only specific set of users (admins) can use it.
For that view you can freely select what columns you what to show. You can also allow ordering by any column and action if you click on some field.
Use exposed filters to add filtering form, again add any filters you need. You can even set the form to use AJAX, to do auto-submit when some filter field is changed, include reset button and more. Also for every exposed filed you can select (at fields settings) should it remember it's value or not.
At end, edit admin menu and add your new page to it so it will look and act as default one but will offer much more functionality. You can even totally remove default one from the admin menu.
Views module is very powerful, not only for front-end but also for back-end content handling.
Somehow my DNN has a broken path a particular url serves pages, but doesn't work for delete or advanced options (delivers a 404 error)
The taburls table has no entries for this tab.
If I change the url through the tabs table then I'm able to delete the page without issue.
I tried accessing the page options via tabid, but the tabid gets converted to the friendly name and then 404s.
I tried turning off friendly urls in my web.config but I may have done it wrong since the entire site would not load (yellowscreen of death)
I'm wondering where DNN is storing this path that is breaking the advanced options of whatever page is at the path.
How do I fix this url so it displays page options and lets me delete pages?
First thing I would try is going to the Admin/Page Management screen, can you make the changes you need to via that interface? If so, after making the changes, are you able to access the page and all the features/options correctly?
If that doesn't work, check the TabPath column in the TABS table to see if there are any bad paths in there for specific pages that you are having problems with.
I have used a WordPress Settings API PHP Class framework, that found here http://tareq.wedevs.com/2012/06/wordpress-settings-api-php-class/, to create my first plugin setting page.
Everything is working fine except default option values are not saving in database until I hit "Save" going to setting page. But I would like this to be saved automatically when someone activate the plugin.
I tried using register_activation_hook() but failed. I am not sure how to use that framework with register_activation_hook(). You can check the codes going to the link I mentioned above. I am about to finish my first plugin but stuck on this.
I am integrating phpList into my website. I initialized database.
I was able to integrate my website with phpList.
In admin panel whenever i try to do anything like delete member from subscriber list or change any setting for subscriber page. I am getting this error "The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server."
I know that this is the problem of path.
When user receives email it says to confirm click on this.
http://admin.ridesharebuddy.com/lists/?p=preferences&uid=TOKEN
When user clicks on this, it displays error page not found.
Because path should be something like this.
http://admin.ridesharebuddy.com/rideshare/lists/?p=preferences&uid=TOKEN
How can i change this path ?
So from what I see, you have 2 issues:
Firstly:
index.php is not being found.
This is generally because of a) an upload error, or b) missing directory traversals within the script (../../ etc..)
What we need to know is why index.php is not found, and why it is being called when you try to make a change
Secondly:
The link generated when the email is sent, is incorrect. This will just be a case of finding where the link is generated, and modifying it to generate a correct code.
If you could update the post with source for the files, then I may be able to help you further.
If you feel you can't do the above, then I suggest using a different, more mature (and better coded), mailing script for your site.
To resolve this problem on my own, I started out by installing Profile2 and Profile2 registration. At no point was I able to generate a page based on the user name (eg, {domain}/private/register). I figured it was not coming up b/c I checked off that anonymous users could not see published pages (which is a site requirement). However, I might have done something wrong but I went over the instructions several time and I don't think I made a mistake. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I think you may have to create a new content type, similar to the normal story or article types, and publish restricted content as the new page type. Apply the access restriction to this content type, and leave the default content types alone.
