Currently I am writing an application where I have multiple users. They have data that should only be visible to them and not the other authenticated users in the system. I also have administrators who manage the system and have access to all of the information. What is the best way to limit users to their data without limiting admin users? Currently I am using a callback to limit the queries by user, but the admin will get the same limits. So I need to know a better way to do it. More importantly, the right way to do it. For example, I want the standard user to be able to see their user

I'm struggling to accomplish the following: Alter the user's session cookie expiry date based on the user's type. I have a CakePHP web application wherein I have created my authentication component (instead of CakePHP's Auth) using CakePHP sessions. I've configured CakePHP to handle sessions using the database. Here are the relevant configuration settings that I have in my config.php: Configure::write('Session.save', 'database'); Configure::write('Session.timeout', '36'); Configure::write('Security.level', 'medium'); How do I extend the session cookie expiry date AND update the value in the

My query gets the timeout error on each run. Its a pagination with joins. I want to debug the SQL, but since I get a timeout, I can't see it. How can I see the compiled SQL Query before execution? Some cake code: $this -> paginate = array( 'limit' => '16', 'joins' => array( array( 'table' => 'products', 'alias' => 'Product', 'type' => 'LEFT', 'conditions' => array('ProductModel.id = Product.product_model_id') )), 'fields' => array( 'COUNT(Product.product_model_id) as Counter', 'ProductModel.name' ), 'conditions' => array( 'ProductModel.category_id' => $category_id, ), 'group' => array(

What is the method to submit a current timestamp directly on an INSERT or an UPDATE ? If I were running regular SQL, I would use the function NOW() for the specific SQL field on submission. How would I do that with CakePHP? $this->Model->save($this->data) webbiedave In CakePHP, you can include the NOW() function unescaped by using DboSource::expression $this->data['SomeModel']['your_datetime_field'] = DboSource::expression('NOW()'); $this->Model->save($this->data); This is the preferred way of including MySQL functions in your saves. http://api.cakephp.org/2.3/class-DboSource.html#_expression

Tables restaurants cuisines cuisines_restaurants Both restaurant and cuisine model are set up to HABTM each other. I'm trying to get a paginated list of restaurants where Cuisine.name = 'italian' (example), but keep getting this error: 1054: Unknown column 'Cuisine.name' in 'where clause' Actual query it's building: SELECT `Restaurant`.`id`, `Restaurant`.`type` ..... `Restaurant`.`modified`, `Restaurant`.`user_id`, `User`.`display_name`, `User`.`username`, `User`.`id`, `City`.`id`,`City`.`lat` ..... FROM `restaurants` AS `Restaurant` LEFT JOIN `users` AS `User` ON (`Restaurant`.`user_id` =

Hi I'm setting up admin routing in CakePHP. This is my current route: Router::connect('/admin/:controller/:action/*', array('admin' => true, 'prefix' => 'admin', 'controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home')); It works fine, but I don't understand what the difference between 'admin' => true, and 'prefix' => 'admin' is. When I omitted 'prefix' => 'admin' , the router wouldn't use admin_index and would instead just use index . So what's the point of 'admin' => true ? By setting 'prefix' => 'admin' you are telling CakePHP that you want to use a prefix of admin for that route; basically
