cakephp-1.3

I have a table called Bookings. This table contains data representing a booking made for a particular service, with many variables. A while ago I came across a problem with my current data structure whereby any changes to the booking that affected times, dates or prices would affect other associated financial records, bookings lists for dates etc. My solution at the time was to create a Modifications table which would track any changes made to a Booking. Then, whenever the Booking model was asked to return a booking, it would add on Modifications made (in the afterFind() Cake callback) and

I'm nearling completion of my first CakePHP-driven website and just saw they're already working on CakePHP 2.0 (not the stable release yet). My questions: Is it incredibly time consuming to move to a new version of CakePHP (when it becomes the "stable" release that is)? I know they have migration guides, but - I've never used a framework before, so I've never had to migrate anything. Do you migrate your code for existing projects, or leave it as is and use the new stable version for future projects only? Where can I find what version of CakePHP I currently have installed? I've looked at the

I am making a project for a temporary download link for me to protect the file from hotlinkers... I believe that this is possible to do so.. because we all know that many of file sharing site " don't wanna mention any "... their link for the file has expiration... Ex. If I download one file from their site they give a direct link to click it right? but then that link will expire right after a few hours or minutes. How should I know that the link was expired? If I copy the same link on my download manager after one day, it can't download the same file. I already made this possible in htaccess .

Using saveAll() to save multiple records in CakePHP, I am able to save them successfully in a table. But the problem arises while retrieving the IDs of those saved rows. LastInsertID() returns only a single last ID here. How can I get all the last inserted IDs which I have inserted using saveAll() ? afterSave function is called after each individual save in a saveAll execution, so you could do: In your AppModel class AppModel extends Model { var $inserted_ids = array(); function afterSave($created) { if($created) { $this->inserted_ids[] = $this->getInsertID(); } return true; } } You can place

CakePHP's AuthComponent assumes you have a Users table that contains a username and password. I'd like to find a way to override the default tablename from Users to Accounts. Background Information: The way I have designed my database is to have a Users table and an Accounts table. Accounts : id user_id username password authentication service (for example, my site, Facebook, Google, OpenID , etc.) Users : simply has all the personal information of the user (age, gender, etc.) The reason for this is so that each user can have multiple accounts they can login from so they are not locked into

UPDATE: the question i asked doesn't quite cover how deep i went in doing this upgrade! If you stumble on this, i hope the answer i pushed is useful to you So, in an effort to get the "forum" plugin working, i've decided to upgrade cakephp from 1.3 to 2.1 (This was because the forum plugin uses something called CakeDC utils, and they are already up to cakephp 2.0, and surprise surprise, the 2.3 version of forum isn't clear which utils it works with...) Ok, so I have run the cake upgrader magic thing, in accordance with the instructions found here: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/console-and
