When using the paginator helper in cakephp views, it doesnt remember parts of the url that are custom for my useage. For example: http://example.org/users/index/moderators/page:2/sort:name/dir:asc here moderators is a parameter that helps me filter by that type. But pressing a paginator link will not include this link. ...
Given : Group hasMany Persons but the relationship is independent (ie. Persons can exist without belonging to a Group), should the foreign key in the persons table (ie group_id) be set to 0 (or NULL) when deleting a group?

Ignoring the possibly folly of using MS Access, I haven't been able to figure out precisely how the connection string corresponds to the frameworks' db settings. In straight php, I can use this code to connect to ...
Basically I have two models that are associated, but im building them to work both with and without an existing database (basically they degrade by not remembering settings). I can do $this->AssociatedModel->find() in my models when they are using a table, but for some reason I get Undefined property: Model::$AssociatedModel [APP\plug...

Hey all I'm hoping someone has enough experience with Cake PHP to make this work. I'm working on something that at the moment could affectionately be called a twitter clone. Essentially I have a set up like this. Users have many friends. This is a many to many relationship to the user table. It is stored in a link tabled called frien...
In CakePHP putting a querystring in the url doesn't cause it to be automatically parsed and split like it normally is when the controller is directly invoked. For example: $this->testAction('/testing/post?company=utCompany', array('return' => 'vars')) ; will result in: [url] => /testing/post?company=utCompany While invoking the u...

I'd like to link to some PDFs in one of my controller views. What's the best practice for accomplishing this? The CakePHP webroot folder contains a ./files/ subfolder, I am confounded by trying to link to it without using "magic" pathnames in my href (e.g. "/path/to/my/webroot/files/myfile.pdf"). What are my options? EDIT: I didn't ade...
I'm new to CakePHP but I've been though their FAQs and guides to no avail. This is so simple that I just must not be thinking straight: How can I access a parameter sent through the URL within my view files? Example: http://example.com/view/6 How would I take that parameter ("6") and cycle it through the controller to another view p...
