Redirects with Ajax
Redirects with Ajax are not really simple to do. When you redirect within the same controller, you can use setAction() instead but what if you want to redirect to another controller? I figured out a quite simple way using sessions, postet it - and got back the IMHO perfect solution by gwoo.
[Read more] Ajax Validation Component
This component adds a few validation options to the already wonderful CakePHP form validation. These features include:
Confirm - Checks two or more fields to make sure they are an exact match (designed for password creation).
Unique - Checks to make sure that a field is not already present in the database (ie email, username, etc).
More output options - There are three output options - unordered list in a div tag of your choice, a JavaScript alert, or just the array to do what you want with it.
Error Class - It has the option to change the CSS class of the label tags for the invalid fields.
The component uses Ajax to be able to validate without refreshing the page. It also relies heavily on the "Standard" CakePHP naming conventions for easier integration.

[Read more] Ajax elements available anywhere
When I have chosen to work with Cakephp it was because of all these great features that we could use to create an ajax app easily. However, I had some problems to manage Ajax view elements like header, footer,... I figured out a solution that I would like to share with the community and have feedback about. (p.s : forgive me for my english, i'm not a native speaker)
Here's an overview of the problem. Ajax key feature is to smooth the user navigation by preventing page reloading through ajax requests. Let's say that you want to put an Ajax login into your website header. You need to be able to use the feature anywhere on the website.
After hours of readings i found out that to be compliant with cakephp MVC structure the process should be the following :
- 1. Ajax call to current controller.
- 2. request requested action from this controller or another controller.
- 3. proceed with your algorithm.
- 4. setting the values into the view that has to be rendered.
- 5. render the view or element.
- 6. end of Ajax call.
