First steps from Wordpress to CakePHP

Felix Geisendörfer (aka the_undefined) in his own blog wrote about first step for migration from platform Wordpress to CakePHP.

Of course, CakePHP engine doesn't exist right now, but, as I say, it's just first step in this direction.

Planning about DB structure tables, and some migrations tools for cake console (1.2, of course! :)

Oh. Forget give to you link to this wonderful article ;-)

Here.

FrameWork mania

It's strange, but, when I trying to write code on PHP without my favorite CakePHP, I got my own Waterloo...

I forget about _SESSION, how to work with him, how to cache, how to make simple SQL code...

Wow...

It's terrible!

But... After 20 minutes of reminding I install N-th copy of CakePHP, and in 2 minutes wrote all needing code ;-)

CakePHP is my FrameWork. (& jQuery, of couse ;)

MySQL warning and CakePHP 1.2 error?

I wrote some code about adding users to MySQL Table.

In my table present two unique fields: username & email. Ok?

Ok!

It's code for adding user:

if($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->flash('All good','/login');
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'), null, true);
} else {
$this->data['User']['password'] = null;
$this->Session->setFlash('All bad');
}
(of couse it's fragment!)

So. When debug = 1. And I add user with already present in table username or email, I get

1: SQL Error about key who must be unique
2. I see message: All bad
3. No new records in table.

Now, switch debug level = 0

1. We don't see SQL Error (fine!)
2. We see message "All good"
3. We have new record in table with NON unique email (or username)

Who is wrong???

Password Reminder

I have some idea about "How To Remind Password".

Firsd idea in: I don't want to store password in database. Only md5('pass').
Second idea: I haven't time to programming scheme like: Forgot password? -> Get e-mail with shortlifetime links -> Go To url -> Get new password in your mailbox Or Type in special fields.

So. For my small, fast forum engine I use remindpassword from CheeseCake (PhotoBlog) ;-)
for my user password. And. Yes, I bad boy ;), I had store user's password in DB ;-( Anyway admin password only in md5 ;-)

It's not commercial site, project, and not so secure forum, so, next time, I promise, I'll write more secure password remind code ;-)

But, I think, If cheesecake store admin pass in open-view i DB, why I cann't? ;-)))
