The code is:
$query = Doctrine_Core::getTable('Users')->createQuery('u')
->select('u.email')
->where('u.username = ?', $this->getRequest()->getCookie('vL_username'))
->andWhere('u.password = ?', md5($editprofile['password']));
$this->form->setValidators(array(
'password' => new sfValidatorDoctrineChoice(array(
'model'=>'Users',
'column'=>'password',
'query'=>$query,
), array(
'invalid' => 'The password is wrong.',
'required' => 'Required',
)
),
));
But it's not working. It automatically adds AND WHERE password = 'whatever the inputed value is (unencrypted)'
The idea is that I need to encrypt using md5 the input value before checking against the record in the db. If I delete 'column'=>'password', and only leave the $query, it automatically adds the inputed value as id! (Which is the primary key of the table).
In my case I don't need sfValidatorDoctrineChoice to write the query, just to use mine to check if a record exists with the given parameters. How can I do this?
The solution I found and works:
$editprofile=$request->getParameter('editprofile');
$editprofile['password']=md5($editprofile['password']);
$request->setParameter('editprofile', $editprofile);
Maybe there's a better one.

I have this this table:
--Votes--
id: Integer
post_id: Integer
user_id: Integer
positive: Boolean
Now I would like to create a record only if it not exists. It is working until someone wants to click on dislike after he clicked on like(on the other side exactly equivalent).
For example someone likes a post a record will be created with positive=true. Now if the user clicks on the same post but this time on dislike, it will be created another record, but i want that it only updates the existing record.
Is there a simple solution?
Here is my Code to create the record:
$vote = Vote::firstOrCreate(array(
'post_id' => $request->input('post_id'),
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
'positive' => $request->input('positive')
));
Note: If someone knows how to do that, maybe he could show me how a deletion would be. For example someone clicks on like two times. The record should be created an deleted.
You can use updateOrCreate method:
public static function updateOrCreate(array $attributes, array $values = array())
{
$instance = static::firstOrNew($attributes);
$instance->fill($values)->save();
return $instance;
}
have a look: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.0/src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Model.php#L605
EDIT:
Example
$attributes = [
'name' => 'Christian',
'email' => 'christian#example.com'
];
$values = [
'name' => 'Christian',
'email' => 'christian#example.com',
'phone' => '123456789'
];
MyModel::updateOrCreate($attributes, $values);
In the example above I will search if in my table I have an entry which match name and email, if it exists I will update the records, otherwise I will insert a new entry with the $values infos
I have a table I need to pull records from if the row is between certain times. But some of the times are UFN(until further notice). How can I get cakephp to ignore the 'end' time if the end time is a string and not a time? Would it be easier if I force the user to keep the 'end time' blank if they want to display UFN?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
The project I'm working on is sensitive so I can't post any of the actual code, but here's an example.
$this->Event->find('all', array(
'conditions' => array(
'Event.active_start <' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($date . " +31 minutes")),
'Event.active_stop >' => $date,
'Event.id >' => $id,
),
'order' => 'Event.active_start',
'group' => 'Event.id'
)
);
Event.active_start is always a datetime, but Event.active_stop can be a datetime or a string, usually 'UFN'.
This query is not pulling any rows that are strings.
Make 'Event.active_stop' as DATETIME field, allow to be empty.
Before save check if datetime format, if not unset($string)
After find (callback) if active_stop is empty field, return string 'UFN'
I already searched many forums for my really strange issue, but I still can't figure out whats going wrong during my save process... The issue: Cake says, my data was saved, creates an autoincrement-ID but no record is stored in the database.
The environment
I have a cake-1.3.13 app running for some time and now needed to add another database table, which is of course related to other tables. My problem is saving records for the habtm-relation table, which looks like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `employees_projects_rejectreasons` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`employees_project_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`rejectreason_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `employees_project_id` (`employees_project_id`,`rejectreason_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=6;
I scaffolded the simple model only with basic validation criteria.
<?php
class EmployeesProjectsRejectreason extends AppModel {
var $name = 'EmployeesProjectsRejectreason';
var $validate = array(
'employees_project_id' => array(
'numeric' => array(
'rule' => array('numeric'),
//'message' => 'Your custom message here',
//'allowEmpty' => false,
//'required' => false,
//'last' => false, // Stop validation after this rule
//'on' => 'create', // Limit validation to 'create' or 'update' operations
),
),
'rejectreason_id' => array(
'numeric' => array(
'rule' => array('numeric'),
//'message' => 'Your custom message here',
//'allowEmpty' => false,
//'required' => false,
//'last' => false, // Stop validation after this rule
//'on' => 'create', // Limit validation to 'create' or 'update' operations
),
),
);
//The Associations below have been created with all possible keys, those that are not needed can be removed
var $belongsTo = array(
'EmployeesProject' => array(
'className' => 'EmployeesProject',
'foreignKey' => 'employees_project_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
),
'Rejectreason' => array(
'className' => 'Rejectreason',
'foreignKey' => 'rejectreason_id',
'conditions' => '',
'fields' => '',
'order' => ''
)
);
I created several records for Rejectreasons and EmployeesProjects, so I have some valid entries here in the database. Now I want to link them together by creating a new record in the given employees_projects_rejectreasons table. I try to do this from another controller (the EmployeesProjectsController). Here is my latest attempt to save the data:
$this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->create();
$eprData = array(
'EmployeesProjectsRejectreason' => array(
'employees_project_id' => (int)$id,
'rejectreason_id' => (int)$rrId
)
);
if($this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->save($eprData)) {
debug('successfully saved EPR with ID '.$this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->__insertID);
} else {
debug('could not save EPR with employees_project_id='.$id.' and rejectreason_id='.$rrId);
}
Now what happens
After I make an attempt to save a record, my debug gives me the following success report:
successfully saved EPR with ID 4
So the save() call returned true, a new ID was created by the auto_increment function of mySQL. So far so good. But when I check my database, there was no record created. But the auto_increment_counter was increased by 1, as if a record was stored, but it wasn't.
Running the app with debug-level 2, I can see the generated SQL-statement from cake, which looks perfectly fine to me:
INSERT INTO `employees_projects_rejectreasons` (`employees_project_id`, `rejectreason_id`) VALUES (3, 3)
If I run this statement directly on the sql server, the record ist inserted correctly.
What I already tried
I already tried different approaches with the save procedure. I tried working with setters instead of a data-array:
$this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->set('employees_project_id', $id);
as well, but it made no difference. After I wrote a custom save-method in the EmployeesProjectsRejectreason-Model, calling it from the controller, but it always produced the same result.
I tried
deleting the model-cache
restarting the server-instances and the server itself
Deleting the table and creating it again
disabling validation in the model
removing the unique foreign-key index
Saving with hard-coded and existing ids as foreign key
Some more strange behaviour
The last tests with hard-coded IDs in my controller code confronted me with more riddles: If I try storing existent foreign_key-IDs, the data is not saved as before. But if both IDs are hardcoded and NOT EXISTING (I used invented IDs 345 AND 567, which are definetely not existing in the database) a record was finally inserted!
Moreover I scaffolded Models, Views and Controllers for the new tables. When I run the scaffolded view "myApp/employees_projects_rejectreasons/add" and add a new record, everything works just fine.
I'm just not able to save the record from other controllers. Since I already have a huge headache, solving this problem, I highly appreciate any hint for a solution!!
Thanks in advance guys!
I finally found a solution to solve the issue. I still don't know, why the save code before did not work, but here is how I changed my code to make it work:
From my form, the data array comes in the following format:
Array
(
[EmployeesProject] => Array
(
[id] => 10
[user_id] => 0
[additional_information] => some comment text
[state] => absage
[Rejectreason] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 8
)
)
)
I searched for some solutions to save habtm relations in cakePHP directly with one call, but that does not seem to be possible in cake-1.3. So I created this pretty simple save routine in my EmployeesProjectController, which works perfectly fine for me:
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->EmployeesProject->save($this->data)) {
if(array_key_exists('Rejectreason', $this->data['EmployeesProject'])) {
foreach($this->data['EmployeesProject']['Rejectreason'] as $key => $rrId) {
$this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->create();
$this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->set('rejectreason_id', $rrId);
$this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->set('employees_project_id', $this->data['EmployeesProject']['id']);
if($this->EmployeesProject->EmployeesProjectsRejectreason->save()) {
}
}
}
}
}
Thanks #Yoggi for supporting me solving this issue!
I'm trying to create an AJAX form whereby the content of a select field populates based on the choice of a preceding select field (you see this a lot with 'country' populating 'state/province'). In my case, I want users to be able to choose their province only if active accounts exist in it.
The Javascript I can write no problem. Fetching the data is where I'm... not so much stuck as doing too much work. CakePHP likes to build select fields with options in an array of the form
$options = array(select_option_value => display_text)
My strategy, though functional, must be more convoluted than cake intended (this a is segment of a controller method).
$provinceData = $this->Account->find('all',array('recursive' => 0,
'joins' => array(
array(
'table' => 'provinces',
'type' => 'LEFT',
'conditions' => array('Account.province_id = provinces.id')
)),
'fields'=>array('provinces.id', 'provinces.name', 'provinces.abbrev'),
'conditions' => array('registration > 2')));
$provinces = array();
foreach($provinceData as $pd) {
/*note: lowercase, plural below b/c can't get 'alias' => 'Province'
to work in joins array above : ( */
$id = $pd['provinces']['id'];
$name = $pd['provinces']['name'];
$provinces[$id] = $name;
}
$this->set(compact('provinces'));
Can anyone point out a more appropriate way to do this? I assume there must be a MySQL query that can do this, but I'm pretty bad at writing elaborate MySQL queries in the first place, let alone via Cake's convention (and, for you MySQL gurus out there, I'm happy to do this from a Model->query(//MySQL code) call instead!
Any and all help truly appreciated.
Assuming the relationship Account belongsTo Province you can try this code:
$accounts = $this->Account->find(
'all',
array(
'fields' => array('Account.province_id', 'Province.name'),
'conditions' => array('Account.registration > 2'),
'group' => 'Account.province_id'
)
);
$provinces = Hash::combine($accounts, '{n}.Account.province_id', '{n}.Province.name');
$this->set(compact('provinces'));
edit: missed bracket and a period instead of an underscore . Now should work
In my CakePHP I have ModelA which hasMany ModelB. ModelB has an int value Q.
Can I query ModelA and use containable to ensure that only those ModelB records with the maximum value for Q?
I've tried this:
$this->ModelA->contain(array(
'ModelB.Q =(SELECT MAX(ModelB.Q) FROM modelb ModelB WHERE ModelA_id = ' . $id . ')'
));
But it throws a MySQL error because CakePHP interprets the right hand side of that equality operator as a field (at least I think that's why) and so dots it.
... WHERE `Draw`.`round` =.(SELECT MAX.(`Draw`.`round`) ...
Is there a way to do this? I'd prefer not to have to drop down into $query() mode, if at all possible.
EDIT OK, after trying to follow the advice on the page that api55 suggested, I have this code:
$dbo = $this->Tournament->getDataSource();
$conditionsSubQuery['"Draw"."tournament_id"'] = $id;
$maxRounds = $dbo->buildStatement(array(
'fields' => array('MAX(Draw.round) AS prevRound'),
'table' => $dbo->fullTableName($this->Tournament->Draw),
'alias' => 'Draw',
'limit' => null,
'offset' => null,
'joins' => array(),
'conditions' => $conditionsSubQuery,
'order' => null,
'group' => null
),
$this->Tournament
);
$maxSubQuery = ' "Draw"."round" = (' . $maxRounds . ') ';
$maxSubQueryExpression = $dbo->expression($maxSubQuery);
$this->Tournament->contain(array(
'Entrant.selected = 1',
$maxSubQueryExpression
));
$tournament = $this->Tournament->read(null, $id);
But when it runs, it gives me 7 notice/warnings. The first 6 are to do with an object being passed instead of a string:
preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, object given
And 6 variations on this:
Object of class stdClass to string conversion
The last is less clear:
Model "Tournament" is not associated with model ""
I suspect I'm being colossally stupid, but there we go.
The contain uses conditions as a normal find, a subquery can be generated and put in conditions. So you should be able to do this as well. Try the subquery part in here and tell me how did it go ;)
This way of generating subqueries for conditions shouldn't fail :D since is the cakephp way.
If you got an error or something comment the answer to see if i can help.
