cakephp-1.3

I cannot set title_for_layout in the PagesController that comes by default with CakePHP 1.3. I am using the following code in the display function: $this->set('title_for_layout','some title'); What am I doing wrong? In your controller, the corresponding value is $this->pageTitle . UPDATE Oops, as noted in the comments, this is the 1.2 solution. 1.3 possibilities (after doing some research) include: Ensuring that $title_for_layout is being echoed in the layout Placing the $this->set() code in the view rather than in the controller If you'd like to mimic the behavior of cake 1.2, you can do the

How do I use a component that I created in cakePHP inside one of my model classes? Is this possible? If so, please let me know how I can do so It is possible but pretty bad practice in a MVC framework.

I found the 'on' parameter and I could add it to this rule but it would then only check files on creation. Not on editing. I

I've got a fairly modified pagination query using a number of Joins etc - but for some reason the paginator->counter() never matches the results from the count query. You can see it in action at http://dev.qreer.com/ - by choosing various options on the LHS navigation, the query output is below and the paginator count appears to be pretty random. Any idea where I can start looking to debug this? In the Jobs Controller: $this->paginate = $this->Job->paginateParams($data); $jobs = $this->paginate('Job'); $this->set(compact('jobs')); In the Model: function paginateParams($data = null){ //lots of
