I just created an action filter that I want to apply to nearly all of my controllers (including any new ones that are introduced later on). I figure a really useful unit test would be one that cycles through each controller and verifies that if certain criteria are met, then the action filter will impact the result. Is it wise to creat...
We are trying to add a couple of actions to the AccountController to add another action after the forgotpasswordpost action. The problem is if we add the action to the preDispatch logict to make sure you don't have to be logged in it still redirects back to the login page. public function preDispatch() { // a brute-force pro...

Hi, In my CakePHP aplication, I use a shell script with a cron job which is working perfectly, except when it comes to call the requestAction() function. Thanks to my logs, I can see it going to the proper Controller->beforeFilter() function, but after that nothing happens. It neves goes into the specific function. I tried to output $t...

I generated PersonController with Create/Details/List/Edit views. I want to be able to manipulate Orders also, but within the context of a Person. In other words, I...
I've seen plenty of examples (NerdDinner, Sanderson's Sports Store, etc.) where a view is bound to a collection of objects. The syntax in the view is usually something like this... <%@ Page... Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<IEnumerable<MyViewModel>>" %> ... <% foreach (var myViewModel in Model) { %> I've also seen plenty of exampl...
I'm using controller's initializer to setup stuff that I will need. def initialize super() a = cookies[:a] # EXCEPTION end However I can't use cookies because it's null, the system hasn't read them from the header yet. The same problem was with ASP.NET MVC, where I couldn't access the cookies in the constructor, but I could acce...
Trying to integrate some friendly_id gem functionality on a controller method. Essentially, I have a Market object, which has its URL created based on a custom method. Since it's based on a custom method, friendly_id won't update the URL when the Market object gets updated. Friendly_id does offer a redo_slugs rake task, but when I cal...

Hi I'm just getting started with cakePHP, and things aren't going so well so far. I have a controller that handles confirming user emails. On registration the user is sent an email with a confirmcode in a link. Depending on the confirm code they give, the controller gives different text responses. One of these responses includes a hype...
I am getting an odd error in an ASP.NET MVC (mvc dll version 2.0.0.0) project after the server is under load (50 to 100 requests per second) for a few hours and cache is approaching its memory limit. If I am reading the error log right (we use elmah) the MVC action parameter parser is failing before it gets to my controller's action. ...

So I copied IndexController.php to /app/local/Mage/Contacts/controllers/ but Magento is still using core file. I can confirm it because I see 404 page when I rename Mage/Contacts/contro...
Blarg! I'm trying to develop a game with zelda-like qualities. (i.e. When the PC hits the edge of the screen, the screen changes to the next view, and the PC's position restarts at the appropriate edge.) The problem I'm having is that I don't want to have multiple View Controllers for each level-segment, because all of the data/functio...
I'm working on my first real ASP.NET MVC project and I've noticed that the controller I've been working in is getting rather large. This seemingly goes against the best practice of keeping your controllers thin. I've done a good job keeping the business logic out of the controllers. I use a separate layer for that. Each action primar...
