Vim - Autoindent/format code

Thu, 12/30/2010 - 01:53 — sham

I had a php file where the indentation had been completely messed up. A quick google came up with this tip for vim:

Press: gg=G
to select the all lines and autoformat.

ExtJs Direct - Not enough required params or this.form is undefined

Sun, 12/26/2010 - 15:03 — sham 
{"type":"exception","tid":4,"message":"Not enough required params specified for method: loadForm  on class ClassNameHere"
}

If you are getting errors like this check firebug to make sure you are sending the data. I was not sending the data because I keep forgetting to set 'paramorder' or 'paramsasHash' on the form config.

CakePHP - The requested address ... was not found on the server

Wed, 10/13/2010 - 20:36 — sham
I just installed the new Ubuntu 10.10 on my workstation. I am in the progress to upgrading to CakePHP 1.3 but more on that later. The first problem I had (that I always have because I always forget this): 
The requested address .. was not found on the server

Solution? Enable mod_rewrite. On Ubuntu I did 
sudo a2enmod rewrite

Vim Replace All Reminder

Svn error: .. has unexpectedly changed special status

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:53 — sham

To solve this delete the svn:special property by doing this:

svn propdel svn:special FILETOCHANGE

You can also use svn proplist FILETOLOOKAT to see the svn properties on that file.

I had just used this script: http://arctic.org/~dean/scripts/unln to unlink but keep a copy of the symlinked file.
Seems to work quite well.

Cakephp 404 not found (The requested URL .... .xsd was not found on this server)

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 23:26 — sham
This happened when i had a controller called Types and a file in my webroot called types.xsd. When i turned off Multiview in my site configuration file it started working. 
<Directory ....>
 
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiView
 
</Directory>
I just removed the MultView option for now.

ExtJS ext.data.jsonwriter and cakephp

Sun, 03/14/2010 - 21:23 — sham
Just spent quite abit of time getting an EditorGrid properly creating and updating rows automagically using Ext Writer. Except it wasn't so magical.
Notes:
- Create requires success: true and then the created record (including the id).
Use this snippet: 
echo '{"success":'.$success.', results:'.$javascript->Object($record).'}';
in the above results should be whatever your roots property is in your store reader config. For example: 
                reader: new Ext.data.JsonReader({
                        totalProperty: 'total',
                        successProperty: 'success',
                        root: 'results',
                        idProperty: 'id', etc
Example of working create json string: 
{"success":true, results:{"id":"47","jobId":"47","jobType":"7",
"partName":"0101012","partDescription":"3.0 Metre Crossover Network Cable",
"quantity":"1","price":"3.5"}}
Example of working update json string: 
{success:true, id:11}
After an update you can use $this->MODELNAME->id to get the id for the json.
Destroy just needs 
{success:true}
Read example (all records for grid): 
{"total":2, "results":[{"id":"46","jobId":"47","jobType":"7",
"partName":"0101104","partDescription":"Dual Back Box","quantity":"1","price":"4.26"},{"id":"47","jobId":"47","jobType":"7",
"partName":"0101012","partDescription":"3.0 Metre Crossover Network Cable","quantity":"1","price":"3.5"}]}

You can dump the database into a file using: 
 
  mysqldump -h hostname -u user --password=password databasename > filename 
 
you can restore the info to the database again using: 
 
  mysql -h hostname -u user --password=password databasename < filename
