I'm trying to create a cakephp website which has a notification system telling people when they log in how many new items they have.
I currently have the site logging every time a visitor logs into the site however I am unsure how I can compare date/timestamps against each other in a find.
What the find should do is return all data that has a newer timestamp when compared to the persons previous loggedIn.created
I am unsure how to code this/just trying to figure out a concept on how I can code this. any help or direction would be appreciated.
To make this simple a
user hasMany logIns
logIns belongsTo user
a user hasMany Invoices
Invoices belongTo user
user has id, name, account_id
loggedin has id, created, user_id
invoice has id, sender, receiver, created, account_id
You can use the normal comparison operators < and > with dates and datetimes.
> means "after"
< means "before"
To find invoices that have been created after a login date in a CakePHP controller, you could write for example:
$previous_login = '2012-09-20'; # obtain from somewhere
$new_invoices = $this->Invoice->find('all', array(
# "created after previous login"
'conditions' => array('created >' => $previos_login)
));

I'm following the external APIs documentation : https://www.odoo.com/documentation/13.0/webservices/odoo.html
to implement our companies requirements. I'm required to create a sales order and automatically create an invoice after that. The sales order part is done but I cant seem to be able to attach the Invoice to the Sales order
I've tried linking it via the 'invoice_ids' field but the documentation does not mention how to provide a many2many field in it. here is the code:
many2manyInvoice = [(4, invoice_id)]
common = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('{}/xmlrpc/2/common'.format(url))
#Admin user Id
uid = common.authenticate(db, username, password, {})
models = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('{}/xmlrpc/2/object'.format(url))
models.execute_kw(db, uid, password, 'sale.order', 'write', [[sales_order_id], {'invoice_ids':many2manyInvoice}])
The response returned is 200 , but nothing is happening on the sales order level. I think its the way that I defined the field that might be incorrect.
Can someone help with this issue ? Thanks in advance
Nothing is happening on the sales order level because you are not creating a sales record, writing to it without doing anything. Not sure if this would work in your specific case but here is what I would do.
Use the Pro-forma invoice https://www.odoo.com/documentation/user/13.0/sales/invoicing/proforma.html
Then when a sales record is created run the "Send pro-forma invoice" method using the web api. This takes care of the db linking, as it can get very complicated.
I'm trying to add an Item, where one of the fields is of type contact (user), to Podio.
I do not have the contact profile_id, only the name, so I need to search the contact to get the profile_id before adding.
The problem is that the /contact/ resources are inaccessible since I'm using app authentication.
The error is: "Authentication as app is not allowed for this method"
What is the recommended way to do this?
Thanks.
As I can see, the tricky part here is that you have just a name of the user. So you need to search this name first.
To be able to search you should be authenticated not as an app, but as a user with appropriate rights. I believe this is because search functions a rate-limited per user. You may authenticate on client side, server side or just by entering user's email and password (see documentation here).
Then, when authenticated, just use search functions with the parameter "ref_type": "profile" to look for the user name within space, organisation or globally. Example for PHP-client:
$attributes = array(
"query" => "John Doe",
"ref_type" => "profile"
);
$results = PodioSearchResult::space( $space_id, $attributes ); // search in space
$results = PodioSearchResult::org( $org_id, $attributes ); // search in organisation
$results = PodioSearchResult::search( $attributes ); // search globally
Functions above will return an array of the most relative results found. There you can get a user id and other user info.
Note that technically several different users may have the same name, so there might be more that one result found. It will be up to you to choose one of them somehow.
I am using simple membership provider and mvc. After a user registers he/she will be redirected to a view called registerDepartments. Incase time is an issue the user can login at a later stage. How do I retrieve the data registered by the user previously. In my previous workings it shows all the data from the table for all users who registered a branch.
I didn't get your question clearly, because you didn't show any code of your work and any example.
However I think you want to retrieve branches created by a user for him/her right? If So, you can use something like the following:
var currentUserId = (int)Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey;
var branches = dbCtx.Branches
.Where(b => b.CreatorUserId == currentUserId).ToList();
I have a question about the rbac system. I think I've pretty well understood it but I need more informations about a special case.
I would like to do the autorisations on groups instead of users. I mean for instance the group "HR" has permission to create a person. Then any person who join this group would have it as well.
Let me give you more informations.
A part of my database:
And this a part of what my group hierarchy could be:
So what I'm looking for, this would be a must, is a system where each group has some autorizations. People get the autorizations of their group and of their parents group (for instance people in "Forsys" has the autorizations of "Forsys", "R&D" and "Administration").
The solution I see at the moment is using bizrule. But I'm not sure write php code in database is a good idea and then if I update the group hierarchy (R&D inherits of RH instead of Administration) I would have to modify bizrule in database. I tried it and it works well but as you can see it require a lot of code.
$user = User::model()->with("people","people.groups")->findByPk(Yii::app()->user->id);
foreach($user->people[0]->groups as $group)
if($group->id == 2)
return true;
return false;
It's just for see if a user is in a group (without checking parent groups and hierarchy)
Another possibility could be create a new table "group_auth" where we would say for instance:
-Group_2 has role "managePerson"
-Group_3 has operation "deleteUser"
...
And then everytime a user is added in or removed of a group we would update his autorizations in the auth_assigment table.
I'd like to hear other opinions on this subject.
All comments will be appreciated :)
Thank you for reading and sorry for my English if you had difficulties to understand me.

Do users ever get their own authorization items? If not, seems like you could in essence swap out the userid column in auth_assignment and name it / treat it as groupID instead. That way you wouldn't need to worry about keeping user auth assignments in sync with your group roles.
A couple of places you'd probably need to make some changes:
- by default CWebUser passes in the logged in userid for use in bizrules. Might be good to change that our with your own override that passes in groupId/groupIds instead.
- you'd need to override CDbAuthManager and rework some of how things work there
We've done something similar on a project I've worked on (we were handling multi-tenant RBAC custom permissions), which required custom CDbAuthManager overrides. It gets a bit tricky if you do it, but there is an awful lot of power available to you.
Edit:
Understood about your users sometimes needing to have additional authorizations. What if your group has a 'roles' field with different roles serialized in it (or some other method of having multiple roles stored for that group, could also be a relationship).
Then, on user login (for efficiency), you'd store those roles in session. Probably the easiest way to handle things would be to write a custom checkAccess for your WebUser override:
https://github.com/yiisoft/yii/blob/1.1.13/framework/web/auth/CWebUser.php#L801
as that will make things simpler to do your custom checking. Then I'd probably do something like:
if(Yii::app()->user->hasGroupAccess() || Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('operation/task/role')) {
....
}
In your WebUser hasGroupAccess method, you could loop over all group roles and send those to checkAccess as well.
Think that will work?
What I use to check access for groups when it's in another table, or somewhere else in the application I give the user the role per default. By using this:
return array(
'components'=>array(
'authManager'=>array(
'class'=>'CDbAuthManager',
'defaultRoles'=>array('authenticated', 'R&D', 'Administration'),
),
),
);
Under: Using Default Roles
By using this, every user gets these assignments. Now, I create a business rule to make sure that the checkAccess('group') will return the correct value.
For example in your case the business rule for R&D would be:
return (
count(
Person::model()->findByPk(Yii::app()->user->id)->groups(array('name'=>'R&D'))
) > 0
) ? true : false;
So what this does is:
find the logged-in person by primary key
look into groups (from the user) for the group with name R&D
if there is a group: return true (else return false)
In magento, when a person becomes a member, the date "created_at" is saved with the profile.
How can I retrieve this information from magento. I can get the address info etc. but can't work out how to display / get the date a user created its account.
I tried the following:
echo Mage::getResourceModel('customer/customer_collection')->addAttributeToSelect('created_at');
But doesn't work.
Thanks.
Did you try this:
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load(IDHERE);
//or
$customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->loadByEmail('test#test.com');
echo $customer->getCreatedAtTimestamp();
where exactly are you trying to get this? from within the customers session? or are you trying to get an arbitrary customer, rather than the current customer?
