Hm, are they without sound? Or is it a problem with my player?

You using QuickTime? Having no trouble here...

No, I'm using a linux media player. Obviously the quicktime format is not fully supported...

Hi David. Cannot say how appreciative I am of your scaffolding and bake screencast. It has to be one of the best screencasts I've seen on the Internet and has really helped me get to grips with Cake. I'll be buying your book soon I think!
All the best

hi. I am using MAMP out of the box and just downloaded the most recent cakePHP but when I drop all the files into 'newapp' within my htdoc DIR, I am not getting any CSS styles. Everything else is working, the DB, the temp and salt have all been configured. But when I follow your screencast and add the 'Records' controller etc... I get a "no file found" error at http://localhost/newapp/records ..any insights would be great.

Great work! Learnt a lot from your screencasts.
And glad you are using a Mac. Been hard to find specific tutorials for setup using Macs, at the moment I'm just using the tutorial listed on CakeForge to get CakePHP to run on different ports which works fine cos I have to run some of the projects I do on shudder Windows Server running PHP.
Btw what version of OSX are you using? I'm using Leopard atm and it's running PHP 5.2.6. As said before I have each CakePHP project running on 1 port per project. Any benefit in installing MAMP?
Thanks for that.

Dana, I don't know if you fixed it already, but I was having the same problem...you have to adjust the mod_rewrite in apache!
See if this helps:

David, what MySQL editor are you using in these screencasts?
Nov 16th, 2008, 3:51 pm
I use Shift (www.shiftosx.com). They should be rolling out with a new version any day now...

Hey thanks for the response. I just read on pg15 of your book that you (used to) use CocoaMySQL so I downloaded that and got it working fine. Although I may check out Shift to see if it's any quicker. I endeavor to one day get to the sheer speed with which you do app development. It's inspiring!

The Almighty $this answered a ton of questions for me, David. I've been stumbling my way through the docs and Apress manuals for weeks. Thanks for the help.

simply brilliant....
I'm new to CakePHP and have been struggling to decipher the (rather cryptic in places) reference material online. After watching your first 2 screencasts I'm now setup and ready to go and fully understand the principles of what to put where...thankyou very much

How are you running Shift? I can't get it to connect to my DB using MAMP Pro and the same setup as you appear to have in your screencast, with localhost in the user folder???

Thanks very much David ... great screencasts! I am new to CakePHP and the one on scaffolding especially was key in helping me make the decision to go ahead with using it as a development tool.

Hi
I have followed and re- followed the scaffolding screencast and made very sure of all naming conventions, case, database tables etc. All works perfectly up to the point where I should see the boxes where a tag can be linked to a record...
No such luck
I even had my collegues look over this. PHP versions are fine.
I rechecked and made very sure of the db tables and all their settings. Then I re-checked everything again.
I am at wit's end
Any help?

Strange error to be having. So it looks like it's coming up when you try to bind the hasAndBelongsToMany association. Is this before using Bake or after?
Jacques
Jul 29th, 2009, 12:16 am
This is before bake script, I have checked that all my tables are set up exactly the same down to the finest detail. It is the initial bit, just after having created the records_tags table and creating the tag, records models and controllers. I have even upgraded my mysql and apache to the latet versions.
I just do not get the association between the tags and records option, by that I mean the box to add link a tag or tags to a record does not even get created when I go into editing a record.
Regards
Jacques

David, I cannot thank you enough for these screen casts. I was putting hours from my hard-earned weekends, still not getting to the core of CakePHP.
Thank you.
Dec 4th, 2009, 8:33 pm
Thanks so much! This helped me begin to understand how Cake works. Any more forthcoming?
Dec 22nd, 2009, 4:32 pm
David, just thought I'd let you know...I've found your "Running Cake Outside Root" to be the most valuable screencast I've ever had the pleasure of watching (and saving locally just in case), and using multiple times - just to verify I'm doing things seemingly correct. It's a simple matter, but not one that I do often (do it and forget it, oh wait, next project!).
So, thank you for that.
