Comment on Disable Pidgin Notifications in Ubuntu 9.04 by weihnachtsmann

Thanks!!!

I’m fine when new message open in a window since you can configure pidgin to not let it become opened in Foreground. However, I tried so often to somehow disable the blinking tray icon via Pidgin settings and “Message Notification” plugin settings…
I did not realized that it simply can be turned off with a right click on the tray-icon

Thanks, this is the only way I could get Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3 installed on Ubuntu. For some reason I always have issues trying to do it with RVM.

Comment on Dynamic Database Connection with CakePHP by Arno Esterhuizen

OK, this might be a bit late, but you can also use the following code in your model

$newDb =& ConnectionManager::create('dynamic_db',
array(
    'driver' =>  'mysql',
    'host' => 'local',
    'login' => 'user',
    'password' => 'pass',
    'database' => 'my_db'));

$this->useDb = 'dynamic_db';

as per https://dev.cakephp.org/ticket/1068

Comment on webOS Email Fail by manderton

True — in the discussions I’ve seen on the issue, many users say they have not had a problem. What version of webOS are you running? Are either of your two accounts Google accounts?

Comment on CakePHP Models and requestAction by Nik Chankov

Nik Chankov — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:08:01 +0000

I would say that requestAction is to process the controller’s action, or even to render the view.

In the book.cakephp.org was written this:
[quote]This function calls a controller’s action from any location and returns data from the action.
You can use requestAction() to retrieve a fully rendered view by passing ‘return’ in the options: requestAction($url, array(‘return’));
[/quote]

So I would say calling using $uses is the better way. Another way is to use App::import(‘Model’, ‘ModelName’) or is the model has relation with the current model to use it with $this->CurrentModel->OtherRelatedModel->find()

Hope that helps
