Re: Associate by condition

2009-11-25T09:06:19Z

Actually I don't really want to find by the type. I want to have them
all, but that cake internally will only apply that association if the
Model accomplishes the condition.
The point of this behaviour is for performance, because I know
beforehand that some of the retrieved Models will have the association

How to have 2 forms on one page for same model

2009-11-25T06:38:04Z

Hi All.

I need to have 2 forms on a page that add an item to the db using the
same model.

The trouble is, they are setting each others validation off.

How can i isolate the forms so they still use the models validation
but only the form whos button has been clicked gets validated?

Thanks for any guidence

Re: admin routing shows CSS when behind an SSL

2009-11-25T06:18:31Z

I'm still trying to remember:

Treat the css loading as an error. Your controller isn't liking the
URL when being redirected from the htaccess file. Maybe something to
do with SSL and the router/routes?

Without being able to explain exactly what is going on I can suggest
that you try using something like this instead of that htaccess:

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. I did not have any custom
htaccess or SSL installed. It was a controller issue. My controller
couldn't do what I wanted it to do so it was just loading the css
file.

I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it... sorry.

But in my case it WAS a controller issue. Also, try deleting the css

Re: MySQL Duplicate entry on Create Error

It sounds like the data type of your id field is a signed tinyint,
which has a maximum value of 127. The range is -127 to 127 (or
something close to that). You need to change the data type. If you
make it unsigned it has a range of 0 to 255. If that isn't enough
you'll have to increase it to smallint.

1. edit($id = null) will set the default value of $id to null if
nothing is passed into edit. If a value is passed to edit $id = null
will be ignored.
2. $this->Post->id = $id will assign the value of $id to the Post
model. If nothing is passed into edit() null will be assigned.
3. if(empty($this->data)) is checking the current form data. If data

The first things I would check are your .htaccess files. I faced
similar issues setting up a site on a hosting service. Take a look at
this [link]
and see if it helps.
