Add User with specific role id [CakePHP] - php

Question

I am trying to build a section where we can add users with Role_ID=2
Role_ID is in some other table named as User_Details, and is linked with current user table id as foreign key.
Here is code for my UserController.php
function addUser(){
$this->set('setTab','addUser');
$this->set('parent_tab','Manage Users');
$this->set('tab','Add User');
// Super admin doesn't have an access of Manage user section
if($this->Session->read('User.access_rights') == 4){
$this->redirect('dashboard');
}
$this->layout = 'user';
$this->set('setTab','manageUsers');
$this->set('statusArray', $this->statusArray);
/*CREATE USER DROP DOWN ARRAY START*/
/*$userDrop['0']='Select Parent';
$getUsers = $this->User->generatetreelist('User.access_rights <> 4',null,'{n}.User.username','-');
if($getUsers) {
foreach ($getUsers as $key=>$value){
$userDrop[$key] = $value;
}
$this->set(compact('userDrop'));
}*/
/*CREATE USER DROP DOWN ARRAY END*/
if(!$this->Session->check('User')){
$this->redirect('login');
}
if($this->data){
$data = $this->data;
$this->User->set($data);
if ($this->User) {
// pr($this->data); die;
// because we like to send pretty mail
//Set view variables as normal
$this->set('userDetails', $data['User']);
//$this->User->recursive = 1;
if($this->User->saveAll($data)){
$this->Session->setFlash('User added successfully', 'default', array('class' => 'errMsgLogin'));
$this->redirect('manageUsers');
}
else {
echo "User not added";
}
}
else {
// do nothing
}
}
}//Ends here
Here is code for model user.php
<?php
class User extends AppModel{
var $name = "User";
var $validate = array(
'Username' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
'required' => false,
'message' => 'Username can not be empty!',
),
'maxLength'=> array(
'rule' => array('maxLength', 20),
'message' => 'Username can not be longer that 20 characters.'
)
),
'First_Name' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
'message' => 'First name can not be empty!',
)
),
/*'phone' => array(
'numeric' => array(
'rule' => 'numeric',
'message' => 'Numbers only'
),
'rule' => array('minLength', 10),
'message' => 'Phone number should be of 10 digits'
),*/
'Last_Name' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
'message' => 'Last name can not be empty!',
)
),
'Email_Id' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('email'),
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please Enter a valid Email Address'
)
)
/*'status'=> array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please Enter a Status'
)
),*/
);
Here is view code add_user.ctp
<h4 class="widgettitle">Add New User</h4>
<div class="widgetcontent">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('User',array('url'=>'addUser/', "enctype" => "multipart/form-data",'class'=>'stdform','id'=>'form1')); ?>

</div>
</div>
<p class="stdformbutton">
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</p>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>
</div><!--widgetcontent-->
After adding:
$this->User->bindModel(array('belongsTo'=>array('UserDetail'=>array('className' => 'UserDetail', 'foreignKey' => 'Role_ID', ))));
Got Error in query:
SQL Query: SELECT `User`.`User_ID`, `User`.`First_Name`, `User`.`Last_Name`, `User`.`Email_Id`, `User`.`Username`, `User`.`User_Password`, `User`.`User_Phone1`, `User`.`User_Phone2`, `User`.`Created_By`, `User`.`Created_Date`, `User`.`Is_Active`, `User`.`Is_Deleted`, `UserDetail`.`User_Detail_ID`, `UserDetail`.`User_ID`, `UserDetail`.`Role_ID`, `UserDetail`.`Unit_ID`, `UserDetail`.`Rank_ID`, `UserDetail`.`City_ID`, `UserDetail`.`State_ID`, `UserDetail`.`RSID`, `UserDetail`.`User_Address1`, `UserDetail`.`User_Address2`, `UserDetail`.`Zip_Code`, `UserDetail`.`User_Url`, `UserDetail`.`Created_By`, `UserDetail`.`Created_Date`, `UserDetail`.`Is_Active`, `UserDetail`.`Is_Deleted` FROM `national`.`users` AS `User` LEFT JOIN `national`.`user_details` AS `UserDetail` ON (`User`.`Role_ID` = `UserDetail`.`id`) WHERE 1 = 1 ORDER BY `User`.`User_ID` DESC
Any suggestions on how can I build this?

Answer 1

Please update User model Code :-
User Model User.php
<?php
class User extends AppModel{
var $name = "User";
/**
* Model associations: hasOne
*
* #var array
* #access public
*/
public $hasOne = array(
'UserDetail'
);
var $validate = array(
'Username' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
'required' => false,
'message' => 'Username can not be empty!',
),
'maxLength'=> array(
'rule' => array('maxLength', 20),
'message' => 'Username can not be longer that 20 characters.'
)
),
'First_Name' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
'message' => 'First name can not be empty!',
)
),
/*'phone' => array(
'numeric' => array(
'rule' => 'numeric',
'message' => 'Numbers only'
),
'rule' => array('minLength', 10),
'message' => 'Phone number should be of 10 digits'
),*/
'Last_Name' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
'message' => 'Last name can not be empty!',
)
),
'Email_Id' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('email'),
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please Enter a valid Email Address'
)
)
/*'status'=> array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please Enter a Status'
)
),*/
);
}
Then update controller code
Here is code for UserController.php
function addUser(){
$this->set('setTab','addUser');
$this->set('parent_tab','Manage Users');
$this->set('tab','Add User');
// Super admin doesn't have an access of Manage user section
if($this->Session->read('User.access_rights') == 4){
$this->redirect('dashboard');
}
$this->layout = 'user';
$this->set('setTab','manageUsers');
$this->set('statusArray', $this->statusArray);
/*CREATE USER DROP DOWN ARRAY START*/
/*$userDrop['0']='Select Parent';
$getUsers = $this->User->generatetreelist('User.access_rights <> 4',null,'{n}.User.username','-');
if($getUsers) {
foreach ($getUsers as $key=>$value){
$userDrop[$key] = $value;
}
$this->set(compact('userDrop'));
}*/
/*CREATE USER DROP DOWN ARRAY END*/
if(!$this->Session->check('User')){
$this->redirect('login');
}
if($this->data){
$data = $this->data;
$this->User->set($data);
if ($this->User) {
// pr($this->data); die;
// because we like to send pretty mail
//Set view variables as normal
$this->set('userDetails', $data['User']);
//$this->User->recursive = 1;
$data['UserDetail']['Role_ID'] = 2;
if($this->User->saveAll($data)){
$this->Session->setFlash('User added successfully', 'default', array('class' => 'errMsgLogin'));
$this->redirect('manageUsers');
}
else {
echo "User not added";
}
}
else {
// do nothing
}
}
}//Ends here

You can use bindModel functionality for associate or link two table like this
$this->User->bindModel(array('belongsTo'=>array('UserDetail'=>array('className' => 'UserDetail',
'foreignKey' => 'Role_ID',
))));
Now when you find the data of User table than it show the userdetail data also.
You can also use containable behaviour if you want particular field of userdetail model
First check table name of userdetail if your table name like userdetails than you can use class name in bindModel like this Userdetails
if you use the table name like this user_details than put class name like this UserDetails .Can You give a function where you find the user data and use bind model function in particular function .Model should be loaded
Please check table name
