I want to create separate databases for different registrations.
First i was doing it via multiple sub-domain manually but now i want it to be automatic after registration when anyone sign up.
This is what am thinking to implement:
First i'll create a common database "user_databases" to just store "user email" and "user database name". So when any user login with his email then i will fetch its database name and then verify login password from users table of the fetched database.
But the problem is how will i achieve it?
Should i include the code in database.php of Config or in each model i use $useDbConfig (i don't want to use it due to some reasons)?
Are there any better methods for it? Am i thinking right to implement it?
Please help and guide.
database partitioning in cakephp is now a trivial task because of cake's event system. cakephp allows you to talk to its request and response objects early in the app startup process in form dispatch filters. markstory has written nicely about this http://mark-story.com/posts/view/using-cakephp-and-a-horizontally-sharded-database

I'm using CasperJS for automated UI tests. I've done the basic UI testing and validation with some random data, kind of POC. I've set up this automation using bash script which kicks to start the web server, load MySQL data from SQL file, start CasperJS test cases, stop the web server, check the log files.
Now, I want to start the testing with some good known status of data which are stored in MySQL. So that I can test the list data and form data with detailed field information with some known database status. How should I know the status of data in the database at a moment?
1) Should I use pre-populated JSON dumped file which has status and details about all data?
2) Should I use web service API? (web service APIs are being used to show/save/delete data from the web page)
Let's take an example. I've 5 users in Users table. Now when I open the home page it shows 5 users with some rough details. When I click on any record from the list of users, it shows a form with detailed information about that user. The webpage is requesting to the web application to get the detail about a user with the help of user_id to show the detailed user data in a form. Now I want to check that all the data in that form is populated correctly. So at the next step, what would be the preferred way, should I read content from JSON dumped file or should I use web service API (like webpage does).
Searching this problem online, I also found MYSQL HTTP plugin. Should I consider this as well? and How safe it is to use? (I know from the docs that this plugin is not for the production, it is just for testing purpose only. :) )
For the main question in cases like this I would change the database connection string to your testing database (this is a clone).
In your case use your bash script to change the connection string (file copy?) automatically before you run the tests. And when completed change back.
Your testing database is a direct clone of your dev/live databsae but with ONLY the test data you want. Downside is you need to keep the schema in sync with DEV/LIVE.
Also another point to take into considertion is if your testing changes state (post). If so your testing data might be out of sync. One way is get around this is to drop foreign keys, truncate the data and load in a dump file.

I am beginner in DNN. I am creating a module which provides Login, Dashboard and Add-Update Form. I have data in JSON format. I want to store it temparory while user use the website. Data will be destroy as soon as user will close the website.
Currently I have created a folder in my Solution Explorer of project in Visual Basic and created 3 .json files which stores login_info.json, basic_info.json and auth_info.json. I write json data whenever user login and I make it blank when user logout.
Above method is working fine now but I afraid it will work when I will publish this module.
Also I may have situation where I need to store image some where. I don't know how I will manage.
Can anybody please guide me?
Is this proper way to store data temparory in DNN?
Is there any other better way?
After getting one of reply for Database Suggestion
Is there any table which same as User Meta in DotnetNuke?
You use the ConnectionString that is used by DNN and access the database as you would normally.
DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.Config.GetConnectionString()
Or you can use the Data Access Layer that the DNN Framework supplies. For that take the Christoc Templates. In there is all you need to communicate with the DB.
Sorry for my english...
In my project I use ACL with SonataAdminBundle, but I can not understand why they did so, you need to have to create a record in the database, even when I want to use only Class-scope without Object-scope.
Also, when you create, for example, comments, SonataAdminBundle automatically creates an entry in acl_object_identities, it clutters up this action database.
I created a role that has the right to full access to all records in a table, regardless of who created the records, but SonataAdminBundle only displays them and prohibits editing.
The documentation for SonataAdminBundle reads:
because the object ACL permission is checked, the ACL for the object
must have been created, otherwise the AclVoter will deny EDIT access
for a non super admin user trying to edit another non super admin
user. This is automatically done when the object is created using the
Admin. If objects are also created outside the Admin, have a look at
the createSecurityObject method in the AclSecurityHandler.
But why? How to avoid this?
Do not want to write hooks.
Thank you in advance for any comments and help on this.
You can generate the object ACLs with php app/console sonata:admin:generate-object-acl
I have the following problem:
I Am using a Django framework.
One of the parts in a system (non-django) writes to the database, in the same database that django is using.
I want to have a signal when an object is being saved. It's a django model object but not saved via django, but directly in the mysql database.
Is there a way django can watch save-actions in his database when it's not being saved by django?
The neatest way would be: create an Api, and let the save action run through this api. The save signal can than be django default. (but this depends on some work of externals... so not the prefered route... for future development it sure is).
Another option is to implement celery and create a task that frequently looks whether one of the saved objects has had no follow up..... (also quit some puzzling I guess to get this up and running)
But there might be an easier... for me unknown?
I saw django watchdog solutions for file systems... not for databases (probably because django has this build in... when properly done through django)
to complex it: I test and develop locally with sqlite .... but the save signal I can put in my tests without needing to get this locally working.... as long as it works in mysql, I Am happy.
You can try this solution:
Create a new table 'django_watch' with one column 'object_id' (add other columns like 'created_datetime' etc according to your standards);
Lets say your main table is 'object'. Add a mysql trigger for the INSERT event on this table.
You should add an extra insert query inside the trigger to insert the object_id into 'django_watch' table.
Now you can have a cronjob that will be inpecting the new table 'django_watch' (for updations in Django objects) and perform necessary actions. You can run this cronjob continuously with some 1 minute delay (upto you).
In the end, I wrote an api that can be called by the thirdparty module. I delivered the code to logon on django using c-code to this api and call the GET of this api. (using django rest framework). This api just saves the object (the id given in the url), and from there on it's default django. The only thing the third party had to do is build in my code to call the api as well....
Maybe not the best solution, but the best to implement for my problem....
I have the following form:
<form id="search_form" method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search" onsubmit="runsearch(this);return false;" target='search'>
How can I collect the search queries entered into the form to a DB?
Without having any knowledge of your server setup, this is as specific as I can get. Appropriately, google is what is going to help you figure out how to do the following:
Make a database. Ask your hosting provider what kind of DBs are offered and what is on your server and make a username/password for a user of that database. the most common is MySQL accessed through control panel or phpMyAdmin
Make your table called "Searches" either through the web GUI (likely) or with a SQL script
Define your data structure for that table usually a creation date, id, and content
Have the javascript in runsearch() also submit a query string or json data to the backend
have the backend connect to your database and insert a row containing the search data
