Time crunch, so this will be quick. I didn't want to go hunting for how to sort paginated results in CakePHP using a related model field again. I actually found my answer on Stack Overflow. The original poster had it right, so I'm not sure if it was a CakePHP bug or what (I don't have an account or I would correct it... it's on the list of...

I finally found an answer to/solution to something I've never been able to get around in CakePHP before: dynamically changing/setting the useTable value in a model. You can't just say $this->CakePHPModel->useTable = 'cakephp_table_name'; Instead you have to use the following function: Setting CakePHP Model useTable Dynamically...

In a depature from my [normally] on-topic (i.e. dry) posts I had to post this error message up here. It made me laugh! I was working on the fattest CakePHP controller known to man (over 4,000 lines, I know... not skinny) when Eclipse ran into issues. Eclipse gave a very descriptive error message, stating that it couldn't, well see for...

I've been waiting to publish a completed article until after I was done with my upgrade to CakePHP 1.3. Well, it's taking a while. I'm not blaming the CakePHP upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 for taking so long. I'm actually doing several large-scale changes to my code base, my server and my repository structure. Until that time, I'm going to...

Well, I never thought I would be saying this, but I'm starting to love using SSH to manage certain elements of my server. Now that I'm using ssh bash to make some updates to my server, I find myself constantly hunting for the simple commands. I'm going to put all the commands I need below, because I'm the idiot and it's my guide. Changing...

I've been looking for the silver bullet solution to using KDiff3 as my git mergetool on Windows (using Git GUI). I've finally got a solution that works in every Windows environment I've tried: Add the KDiff3 directory to your Windows System Path (e.g. C:\Program Files\KDiff3\) Add kdiff3 as your Git mergetool (From Git Bash, run git config...

The biggest hurdle I've had to overcome migrating my CakePHP application from 1.2 to the much improved 1.3 branch involves Plugins and the ACL component. A while back I noticed that my backend was kind of sluggish due to all of the ACL lookups (that happen with each request) so I optimized my ACL database tables . At that same time, I also...

I've been working on upgrading my CakePHP application to cake version 1.3. It's a lot of work. I find myself constantly consulting the CakePHP manual/book for answers. There are many places to look for all of the improvements that were rolled into CakePHP 1.3 (at least coming from the 1.2 version). For my own reference, I'm creating a list...

Just a quick post to let everyone know what I just found out- the version of CURL (php_curl.dll) that ships with PHP 5.2.14 for Windows ISAPI doesn't work! That's right- it doesn't work. I tried the MSI PHP installer package, manual installs, moving dll files into Windows and System32 directories all to no avail. The culprit: a bad version...

I'm moving my Content Management System over to CakePHP 1.3. I'll post an article about my experiences later. Today I will focus on one and only one issue with the migration from Cake 1.2 to 1.3: the change of webroot/theme/ to webroot/theme/ to serve static content. At first I was a little disapointed/scared at the prospects of making...
