Dojo Cake Help
blessan
dojo_form.php to support all dijit widgets. Now it only supports
'textbox' and 'button' widget. I was able to include the 'textarea'
widget.
Now i am tryin to implement the 'datetextbox' widget. But a error
occurs when i use
$dojo->req('dijit.form.DateTextBox')
Error is shown in firebig while the files are loaded. So when i
searched, i found that the error occurs at the dojo/date/locale.js
file.
This is the line that causes the error
dojo.requireLocalization("dojo.cldr", "gregorian");
Any idea on how to fix this? i tried a lot of methods i know. Is it a
issue with dojo or cakePHP? Any ideas let me know.

assumes that you use this path:
/webroot/js/dojo, /webroot/js/dijit, /webroot/js/dojox
If that is not your structure, you can change it in the core Dojo
helper in lines 8-12:
define('DIJIT_PATH', JS_URL . 'path/to/dijit/');
It is VERY important that you leave off the forward slash in front of
the path. The JS_URL tacks one on its end.

was really no other significant change, it will not be placed in a
download. However, you can still get it from our repository.
blessan
if(!defined('DOJO_PATH')){
define('DOJO_PATH', JS_URL . 'lib/dojo/dojo/');
}
if(!defined('DIJIT_PATH')){
define('DIJIT_PATH', JS_URL . 'lib/dojo/dijit/');
}
if(!defined('DOJOX_PATH')){
define('DOJOX_PATH', JS_URL . 'lib/dojo/dojox/');
}
Anyway i need to test with your new revisions. I'll let you know what
happens. I was able to get the 'DateTextBox' widget to work. But had
to move some files in the dijit folder. I know thats not the correct
method. But for the time being, thats what i got.

get the Soria theme when i used small letters.
$dojo->theme("soria");
<body class="soria">
Now the theme function is working fine when i changed the case. I used
capital 'Soria' earlier as was shown in the tutorial.

'Notice (8): Undefined variable: reqs [APP/views/helpers/dojo.php,
line 195]'
I was able to resolve it by adding the line
$reqs = '';
Another error is
Notice (8): Undefined index: content [APP/views/helpers/dojo.php,
line 287]
This happens when use the 'textBox' widget. We should add a default
array like in 'textArea' so that content is set to 'null'

of the code. The $dojo->req worked perfectly well. I changed my folder
structure to the one u gave. Thanks for te help.
LordZardeck
never worried about it. Bad programming practice on my behalf. :P I
will also look into the theme issue. I don't know why it had problems
with capitols. Also, would you be interested in being a contributor,
and helping out with this project?
LordZardeck
nice little feature: The theme class will automatically be added to
the body. You don't have to apply the class attribute anymore. This is
introduced in version 0.0.11

working with the digit.form.select widget. I'm having some problems
with the css. I mean the select box gets display but the options
don't. I tried to find the error. It appeared to me as the color of
the text in the options is causing the problem.
I changed it and made it to red in firebug and the options were
displayed. I tried to 2 method,
1. Putting html directly to the view files as
<select dojoType="dijit.form.Select" style="width: 150px;" >
<option value="TN">Tennessee</option>
<option value="VA" selected="selected">Virginia</option>
<option value="WA">Washington</option>
<option value="FL">Florida</option>
<option value="CA">California</option>
</select>
2. By using the dojo_form helper
function select($parms = array()){
$defaults = array
("dojoType"=>"dijit.form.Select","style"=>"width:150px");
$labels = array();
$values = array();
$labels = array_keys($parms);
$values = array_values($parms);
$select = "<select dojoType='".$defaults['dojoType']."'
style=".$defaults['style'].">";
if(($labels !=NULL) && ($values !=NULL)) {
for($counter = 0; $counter < count($labels); $counter++) {
$select .= "<option value='".$values[$counter]."'>".$labels
[$counter]."</option>";
}
}
$select .= "</select>";
return $select;
}
I don't know if this is a error is just for me. I'm relatively new to
cakePHP.
And for your question, I would like to be a contributor to the
dojocake project.
LordZardeck
to the helper form. Or at least not the whole code. Infact, I was
thinking of a rewrite of some form widgets. The built-in CakePHP form
helper has already a select function, and by passing
"dijit.form.Select" as a dojoType attribute, and by requiring
"dijit.form.Select", we would have to write less code than we do now.
Plus, and here's the big bonus, we'll have Cake's ability to
automatically fill in the data based on the models.
