In a controller, what is the most appropriate way to call the action of another controller and also pass an array as parameter? I know that you can use requestAction to call actions within other controllers. But is it possible to pass arrays as parameters using request action? And no, I do not want to put the action in the App Controller. So that is not a solution for me. The only other way I know is to load the other controller as explained in: http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/The-Manual/Developing-with-CakePHP/Configuration.html#importing-controllers-models-components-behaviors-views-and

I would like to know how to deal with only ONE authentification process and "users" in multiple tables. I have 4 Users table: users, admins, artists, teamadmins which all have specific fields, but I would like all of these users to be able to connect via only one form on the homepage, and being redirected after that to their specific dashboards. I think the redirections shouldn't be a problem, and some routes added should work, but I really don't know where to look/start to ake this all possible. Cheers, Nicolas. EDIT : here's the final solution (thanks to deizel) App::import('Component',

I am trying to save an order, and the products in the order. The order is being saved, but the products are not. I have an orders table and a products table and a orders_products table. In the Order model I set $hasAndBelongsToMany = 'Product'; on the orders_products table I have a couple extra fields: order_id , product_id plus price , quantity to capture the sale price and quantity sold. I am saving the data via: $this->Order->saveAll($data); Here is what $data is: Array ( [Order] => Array ( [user_email] => st@kr.com [billing_first] => Steve ... //more excluded [total] => 5000 ) [Product] =>

I have a function in my Event model called getEvents - you can pass limit, start and end dates, fields , event types , and event subtypes . I read that paginate can accept all the parameters I'm using like joins , conditions , limit ...etc just like a normal find can. It returns data just fine when I don't try to paginate. But - I'd like to be able to pass it a paginate variable to tell it instead of doing this: $this->recursive = -1; $data = $this->find('all', $qOptions); to do this: $this->recursive = -1; $data = $this->paginate($qOptions); When I try that, though, it gives me lots of errors

After upgrading my PHP to 5.4.3 (WAMP server 2.2), my web app made in CakePHP 1.3, is showing the following errors in my index: Strict standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class Object in C:...\cake\cake\libs\object.php on line 63 Strict standards: Non-static method Configure::getInstance() should not be called statically in C:...\cake\cake\bootstrap.php on line 49 I've found that some people solve this problem by setting the error_reporting in php.ini to E_ALL & ~E_STRICT . I did that in both php.ini files (C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3 and C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.2\bin)
