Is it possible to have a fixture change between test methods? If so, how can I do this? My syntax for this problem : In the cakephp framework i am building tests for a behavior that is configured by adding fields to the table. This is intended to work in the same way that adding the "created" and "modified" fields will auto-populate...
Ok here is the thing. I want to run a web application on php and mysql, using the CakePHP framework. And to keep the threshold of using the site at a very low place, I want to not use the standard login with username/password. (And I don't want to hassle my users with something like OpenID either. Goes to user type.) But everyone has ema...
As a classic ASP developer about once a year since ASP.NET came out I decide I really gotta buckle down and learn this fancy new ASP.NET. A few days in and messing with code behinds and webforms and all this other stuff I decide the new fancy stuff is whack and go find something else to learn (PHP and Ruby and Python were all fun to pla...
As part of a larger web-app (using CakePHP), I'm putting together a simple blog system. The relationships are exceedingly simple: each User has a Blog, which has many Entries, which have many Comments. An element I'd like to incorporate is a list of "Popular Entries." Popular Entries have been defined as those with the most Comments in ...
I'm struggling to implement ACL in CakePHP. After reading the documentation in the cake manual as well as several other tutorials, blog posts etc, I found Aran Johnson's excellent tutorial which has helped fill in many of the gaps. His examples seem to conflict with others I've seen though in a few places - specifically in the ARO tree...
Greetings everyone! I have a strange problem with my cake (cake_1.2.0.7296-rc2). My start()-action runs twice, under certain circumstances, even though only one request is made. The triggers seem to be : - loading an object like: $this->Questionnaire->read(null, $questionnaire_id); - accessing $this-data If I disable the call to load...

In cake 1.2 there is a feature that allows the developer to no have to create models, but rather have cake do the detective work at run time and create the model for you. This process happens each time and is neat but in my case very hazardous. I read about this somewhere and now I'm experiencing the bad side of this. I've created a plu...

I'm going to be switching back and forth between Ruby on Rails projects and some as-of-yet undecided PHP MVC framework projects. Which of the PHP MVC frameworks out there (CakePHP, CodeIgniter?, others?) is most similar to Ruby on Rails in that the most conventions, locations, workflows, etc are preserved? I'm looking for the similar...
In a CakePHP 1.2 app, I'm using flash();?> to output messages like "Record edited". It's working great. However, I want to add a link called "Dismiss" that will fade out the message. I know how to construct the link, but I don't know how to insert into the output of the flass message. The flash message wraps itself in a DIV tag. I wan...

That is what I want to test. And maybe that the length of the texts are within certain limits. So what I am wondering is if the assertTags can do this in a way parap...
I have two controllers which share most of their code (but must be, nonetheless, different controllers). The obvious solution (to me, at least) is to create a class, and make the two controllers inherit from it. The thing is... where to put it? Now I have it in app_controller.php, but it's kind of messy there. ...

There are flags for various types, so each row has one or more BOOL fields set. For one type of type, I store the contents of an RTF in another field. So when I displa...
