Bancha - Combining CakePHP and ExtJS

[Sheraton]

ok thank's you !

[tjscooper]

Just checking in... I'm really looking forward to some kind of screencast!

Always best to see/hear it explained in the author's words

Hey!

I just updated and extened the documentation. The next two things will be a small 5min screencast and the ability to expose controller methods ;-)

cheers

The new release is out!

Bancha now provides the possibility to expose all controller methods, and has some mayor refactoring in the new build.

Screencast is comming soon.

Enjoy!

Great Stuff with the new release.. though me being a noob, ive run into a few issues..

• I have a Model 'User', but Bancha seems to be trying to get UserController->view instead of UsersController->view
• Uncaught Ext.Error: Bancha: Tried to call User.read(...), but the server-side has not implemented UserController->view or index(...) ext-all-dev.js:8712

changing it from Bancha.onModelReady('User') to Bancha.onModelReady('Users') seems to make it go away.

also, my app is hosted in a sub-dir, and not the webroot. ive changed all the paths accordingly but i get the following error:

• POST http://localhost/bancha.php 404 (Not Found) Ext.define.request[/COLOR]ext-all-dev.js:27958

It needs to pull in http://localhost/bancha/bancha.php instead. I cant seem to find where I can set this?

Thanks much!

OK So i reverted to Bancha.onModelReady('User'), and created an http redirect from http://localhost/bancha.php to http://localhost/bancha/bancha.php, but Now i get the following error:

• el is null
  
  --> if (el.insertAdjacentHTML) { ext-all-dev.js (line 11856)
  
  

"You're trying to decode an invalid JSON String":
sourceClass "Ext.JSON"
sourceMethod "decode"

Hi!

• I have a Model 'User', but Bancha seems to be trying to get UserController->view instead of UsersController->view

We are using the standard ext and cake conventions. So the cake model name is singular, the controller name plural with "Controller" suffix.
In our example implementation we also have a user model, the model name is "User", the controller "UsersController", the ExtJS model name "User".
The error must be somewhere else.

• Uncaught Ext.Error: Bancha: Tried to call User.read(...), but the server-side has not implemented UserController->view or index(...) ext-all-dev.js:8712

Ok, so here the error message is wrong, it should be in plural.. but the dispatcher is definitely looking for UsersController!

changing it from Bancha.onModelReady('User') to Bancha.onModelReady('Users') seems to make it go away.

Is your cake model really singular!? It should look something like this:
https://github.com/Bancha/BanchaTest...Model/User.php
Please always use Bancha.onModelReady('User',callback);

also, my app is hosted in a sub-dir, and not the webroot. ive changed all the paths accordingly but i get the following error

• POST http://localhost/bancha.php 404 (Not Found) Ext.define.request[/COLOR]ext-all-dev.js:27958

This was actually an error, please try this controller and tell me if it is working now:
https://github.com/rolandschuetz/Ban...Controller.php

OK So i reverted to Bancha.onModelReady('User'), and created an http redirect from http://localhost/bancha.php to http://localhost/bancha/bancha.php, but Now i get the following error:

• el is null
  
  --> if (el.insertAdjacentHTML) { ext-all-dev.js (line 11856)
  
  

"You're trying to decode an invalid JSON String":
sourceClass "Ext.JSON"
sourceMethod "decode"

Is it somewhere online so I can test it? Otherwise, can you please post the value of /bancha/bancha-api.js and of the last xhr, which created the error.

best regards

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for the pointers!

So using the revised BanchaController.php, It gives me an "You're trying to decode an invalid JSON String:" when loading the page. So it does not load the grid panel. However, it appears to be receiving the JSON data as you can see here in my browser error log: http://pastebin.com/gRgMm59p

I dont seem to have a /bancha/bancha-api.js anywhere in my app. Could this be the problem?

Here are the contents of my Bancha.js: http://pastebin.com/QmsHdmbt
sample.js: http://pastebin.com/cWnEnfSy


Best,
Klander

Hi!

Now I'm seeing where the problem is. My colleague forgot to push his last changes.... sry
Please just place this new file inside your webroot:
https://github.com/Bancha/Bancha/blo...oot/bancha.php

bancha-api.js is created from our plugin, so you can only see it inside your browser, not in the file system ;-)

best regards
Roland

Hey!

So it works now

A minor thing is it tries to pull http://localhost/img/icons/delete.png even though ive set it to icon: '/bancha/img/icons/delete.png' in bancha/app/webroot/js/Bancha.js. I was not able to find this setting in any other file so i got around it temporarily by coping the /img/ directory to my DocumentRoot.

Otherwise all CRUD functions work perfectly now

Thanks again for your help! I'm really looking forward to seeing this project mature. Big fan!

Cheers!
