Here's the problem, I was assigned task from my bos to learn how to use Kohana and implement simple test in that. We would like to use it as our framework for future projects. Being new to both KohanaPHP and SimpleTest, I can't figure it out how to do even the simplest test of my helpers. I can't even find a single step-by-step tutorial...
I have 2 database tables: Teams and Games. For the purpose of this question, we are dealing with football (soccer) teams and games. Each Game has exactly 2 teams, generally a home team and an away team although occasionally both teams can be neutral. My question is whether I should represent this data relationship using 2 foreign keys...
I recently discovered the PHP framework Kohana (which is awesome) and was reading a thread about using it in conjunction with a templating engine such as Smarty or Twig. My question is why bother? Surely an MCV framework, by definition, is a templating engine. Even "raw" PHP is, arguably, a templating engine. What possible benefits are t...
I'm using Kohana and I have several models in the Models folder of my application. Can I organize those models into subfolders and call them in a way that Kohana can find them? ...
I need to call a Kohana helper (or any php MVC framework) from a Cron job. How can I do this? The server is Linux, so, I can only think of two possible solutions: 1- Open an URL from the cron job, which hits a controller and does what it has to do. 2- Call a Kohana controller without passing through the web server, but with the PHP CLI. ...

I'm using the Auth Module in Kohana v 2.3.4. In terms of authenticating users, there's a two step process. The entry point is the function login. It's first task is to retrieve the password stored in the database and retrieve the password and determine the salt value. The salt is supposedly determined by an array of values, each corres...
Hello, I had an enquiry from a potential customer who would like to build a Real Estate website. He was looking to provide access to Agencies who can list their properties and add images and details to it. I know that Joomla with Mosets Hot Property can handle this well. I do not want the complex CMS behind a property management websit...
For those familiar with the Auth module in Kohana, I can't login a user. I can create a user fine, but apparently the hashes aren't matching. I've used the provide MySql schema to create the db and I'm using the the modules models. Here's my create a user code: public function user_create() { $user = ORM::factory('user'); $us...

When i type address like http://localhost/kohana/index/index i expect controller 'index', action 'index' to be executed. It works on Windows localhost, works on shared hosting. But does not on my Debian server. ...
I'm using Kohana v3 for a web project, and today I found myself writing this: echo Html::anchor('user/view/'.$user->id, "See user's profile"); If I rename the action_view method in the User controller, the link will be broken. To avoid this, I created a function in the User model that returns the URL used for viewing the user's profil...

I have been using Joomla and I love its administrative facility to put the site down for maintenance. As I have seen, all requests to the site if it is in maintenance mode is routed to a single page. If I want to add my own "site down for maintenance" module for a non-Joomla site, how do I do this? I am using an MVC framework in PHP call...

I'm also using a modified instance of the Template Controller for the admin section called Admin Template Controller, seen here: abstract class Admin_Template_Controller extends Template_Controller { ...
I'd prefer to use the crypt function and use blowfish encryption, but the current implementation of this module uses the hash function, which doesn't offer this encryption method. So, what is the safest algorithm in Kohana's auth module? Would SHA-512 be a good option or am I better off modifying the module to use crypt and blowfish? ...
