AJAX pagination with jQuery and elements
Posted by primeminister | Filed under Cake-Toppings, jQuery/javascript
A simple way to get your paginated data in your view through ajax with jQuery. Thanks to Cesay Dreier and his article at the bakery http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/easy-ajax-pagination-using-jquery.
I changed the code a bit because I use elements in an extensive way. So here is almost the same code but now with an element and some updated javascript code.
I used the latest CakePHP 1.2.5 and did nothing to the layout. So the classes or id’s will be of the default CakePHP layout. I added the blog tutorial posts table and some data.
1. Add to your controller (or AppController):
// my posts controller looks like this
class PostsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Posts';
var $components = array('RequestHandler');
var $paginate = array('limit' => 10);
function index() {
$this->Post->recursive = 0;
$this->set('posts', $this->paginate());
}
}
Amazon eCommerce datasource
Posted by primeminister | Filed under Cake-Toppings
I just pushed the Amazon eCommerce API datasource to gitHub: http://github.com/primeminister/CakePHP-Amazon-eCommerce-datasource
With this datasource you can easily get listings and items from Amzon in the books, music, etc categories.
You need an access key and secret key from http://aws.amazon.com. Please see the README file in the repository and check the Amazon API at http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSECommerceService/2009-10-01/DG/
Please fork the code if you have optimizations, suggestions, etc. or leave a comment.
Improved music site: Cloudspeakers.com

One of the CakePHP projects I have is the site named Cloudspeakers.com. In the last three months we improved the website with new features, gave it a complete new layout and did a lot about the usability.
All is build on the latest stable CakePHP core 1.2 and jQuery 1.3

Removing cache after shell script is done
Posted by primeminister | Filed under Cake-Toppings, bash
I have a scraper that runs every 6 hours and adds reviews, audio and video of the found music artists to our database. The problem is that I wanted to cache elements and views for minimum of 1 day and let the scraper remove the cache when it found new items.
Firts of all I use file caching. I tried with Clear::cache(false); at the end of the shell script but that didn’t work. I guess the file list is too long.
The I had a simple bash script that just stated
rm -f tmp/cache/views/element*
But the list was too long and it give ‘Argument too long‘ warnings. Then I had a look on the internet (Wait… what is that?) and created my own long-list-removable-view-files-bash-script:
#! /usr/bin/bash find ./tmp/cache -name 'cs_*' | xargs rm -f find ./tmp/cache -name 'cake_*' | xargs rm -f find ./tmp/cache/models -name 'cake_*' | xargs rm -f find ./tmp/cache/models -name 'musicbrainz_*' | xargs rm -f find ./tmp/cache/persistent -name 'cake_*' | xargs rm -f find ./tmp/cache/views -name 'element_*' | xargs rm -f
It does not only views removal, but I use this script also for new release deployment.
After I had finished this @savant pointed me to the PDF Math Curry where he pointed out the same… Damn!! :)
