- string $name
- Name of component to get.
Returns
A Component object or null.
beforeRedirect() public ¶
beforeRedirect( Controller $controller , string|array $url , integer $status = null , boolean $exit = true )
Called before Controller::redirect(). Allows you to replace the URL that will be redirected to with a new URL. The return of this method can either be an array or a string.
If the return is an array and contains a 'url' key. You may also supply the following:
statusThe status code for the redirectexitWhether or not the redirect should exit.
If your response is a string or an array that does not contain a 'url' key it will be used as the new URL to redirect to.

Controller$controller - Controller with components to beforeRedirect
- string|array $url
- Either the string or URL array that is being redirected to.
- integer $status optional null
- The status code of the redirect
- boolean $exit optional true
- Will the script exit.
Returns
Either an array or null.
Link

Parameters
-
Controller$controller - Controller with components to beforeRender
Link
initialize() public ¶
initialize( Controller $controller )
Called before the Controller::beforeFilter().
Parameters
-
Controller$controller - Controller with components to initialize
Link
shutdown() public ¶
shutdown( Controller $controller )

_mergeVars() protected ¶
_mergeVars( array $properties , string $class , boolean $normalize = true )
Merges this objects $property with the property in $class' definition. This classes value for the property will be merged on top of $class'
This provides some of the DRY magic CakePHP provides. If you want to shut it off, redefine this method as an empty function.
Parameters
- array $properties
- The name of the properties to merge.
- string $class
- The class to merge the property with.
- boolean $normalize optional true
- Set to true to run the properties through Hash::normalize() before merging.
_set() protected ¶
_set( array $properties = array() )
Allows setting of multiple properties of the object in a single line of code. Will only set properties that are part of a class declaration.
Parameters
- array $properties optional array()
- An associative array containing properties and corresponding values.
_stop() protected ¶
_stop( integer|string $status = 0 )
Stop execution of the current script. Wraps exit() making testing easier.
Parameters
- integer|string $status optional 0
- see http://php.net/exit for values
dispatchMethod() public ¶
dispatchMethod( string $method , array $params = array() )
Calls a method on this object with the given parameters. Provides an OO wrapper
for call_user_func_array
Parameters
- string $method
- Name of the method to call
- array $params optional array()
- Parameter list to use when calling $method
Returns
Returns the result of the method call
log() public ¶
log( string $msg , integer|string $type = LOG_ERR )
Convenience method to write a message to CakeLog. See CakeLog::write() for more information on writing to logs.
Parameters
- string $msg
- Log message.
- integer|string $type optional LOG_ERR
Type of message being written. Either a valid LOG_* constant or a string matching the recognized levels.
Returns
Success of log write.
See
requestAction() public ¶
requestAction( string|array $url , array $extra = array() )
Calls a controller's method from any location. Can be used to connect controllers together or tie plugins into a main application. requestAction can be used to return rendered views or fetch the return value from controller actions.
Under the hood this method uses Router::reverse() to convert the $url parameter into a string URL. You should use URL formats that are compatible with Router::reverse()
Passing POST and GET data
POST and GET data can be simulated in requestAction. Use $extra['url'] for
GET data. The $extra['data'] parameter allows POST data simulation.
Parameters
- string|array $url
String or array-based URL. Unlike other URL arrays in CakePHP, this URL will not automatically handle passed and named arguments in the $url parameter.
- array $extra optional array()
if array includes the key "return" it sets the AutoRender to true. Can also be used to submit GET/POST data, and named/passed arguments.
Returns
Boolean true or false on success/failure, or contents of rendered action if 'return' is set in $extra.
toString() public ¶
toString( )
Object-to-string conversion. Each class can override this method as necessary.
Returns
The name of this class

null
$_type ¶

'cipher'
$_values ¶
Values stored in the cookie.
Accessed in the controller using $this->Cookie->read('Name.key');

array()
$domain ¶

To make the cookie available on all subdomains of example.com. Set $this->Cookie->domain = '.example.com'; in your controller beforeFilter
