The many-to-many example provided with the introduction of Mirage 0.3 lays out how to create many-to-many joins between specific instances of two models. It does this by hard coding the creation of a few books and a couple of authors, as well as the links between them, but stops short of using factories to generate such relationships … [Read more…]
The title pretty much says it all on this one. I just started playing around with Ember, and one of the first things I tried to do was include the ember-simple-auth addon in a brand new project. I tried following the step-by-step instructions in the readme as well as the ones shown in the introductory video. Nothing … [Read more…]
I recently needed to add Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers to resources on an API developed with CakePHP. There’s a good description of how to accomplish this from ThinkingMedia in 2015, but it uses DispatcherFilters, which have since been deprecated in favour of Middleware. The $request and $response objects available to middleware have different interfaces than those retrieved from the event data in the … [Read more…]
With Laravel’s Blade templating engine, it is possible to stack multiple sections with the same name throughout a template, and yield them all together in one place. This is particularly useful if you have multiple partial views that each need to append some JavaScript to a <script> tag at the end of your page, for instance. tl;dr … [Read more…]
Recently I had to allow a PHP script to run for several minutes under Nginx (more specifically, as part of a Laravel app on a DigitalOcean server), after encountering the error “504 Gateway Timeout”. First, to tell Nginx to allow the script to run for a longer period of time, I set the FastCGI read timeout to ten … [Read more…]
I’m working on a CakePHP-based app that has multiple abstract base controller classes that inherit from AppController. The majority of the concrete controllers inherit from one of these abstract classes. I recently added the CakePHP/Acl plugin to the app, and was presented with the error

Exception: Cannot instantiate abstract class App\Controller\MyAbstractController in [/apppath/vendor/cakephp/acl/src/AclExtras.php, line 433] |
when I tried to use the bin/cake acl_extras aco_sync command to generate ACOs … [Read more…]
To allow CakePHP 3 to add entries to many-to-many join tables when creating or patching entities, the names of the associations must be added to the array of accessible concrete properties on the model. The documentation does mention this fact eventually, as a note in the “Patching HasMany and BelongsToMany” section, but not as part of … [Read more…]
I recently added the Laravel-Localization package (with Laravel 5.2) to a project I’m working on. Initial setup went smoothly, and I was impressed with how well things worked essentially out of the box. Then I tried to test my routes. I had previously made a test case that ran through all of my public routes and asserted … [Read more…]
I just ran through Laravel’s intermediate quickstart tutorial. On the whole it was rather well put together and worked with as little or as much copying and pasting as you felt like using. Here I’m just recording a few notes for future reference about non-obvious things I encountered. Error messages for simple typos One interesting … [Read more…]
Altering the type of a column in postgres from one enum type to another requires an intermediate cast to text. Additionally, if there is a default value for the field, it cannot be altered and instead must be dropped and re-added as the new type. Simple case: New type contains all old-type values In the simple … [Read more…]
