| 17:10.53 | Utah_Dave | _psychic_: Hey, I went through the cake documentation to figure how everything works. |
| 17:11.04 | _psychic_ | how'd it go? |
| 17:11.48 | Utah_Dave | well, I'm really liking some of the features. |
| 17:11.57 | Utah_Dave | In general, I liked the blog demo. |
| 17:12.06 | _psychic_ | good to know |
| 17:12.58 | Utah_Dave | while I was going through the documentation, I did have a lot of questions. Like I wish I had a cake guru sitting next to me. |
| 17:13.54 | Utah_Dave | I don't remember my exact question, but I remember not quite understanding how the associations were supposed to work. |
| 17:14.16 | _psychic_ | It auto joins things for you on the fly if you need it. |
| 17:15.09 | Utah_Dave | Yeah, I created a new app and used the scaffolding and stuff, but I couldn't seem to get the associations to work. |
| 17:15.14 | Utah_Dave | I really like the idea though |
| 17:15.24 | _psychic_ | for it to work in scaffolding well, you need two things: |
| 17:15.31 | _psychic_ | 1- you need to use the naming conventions in cake |
| 17:15.48 | _psychic_ | 2- associations need to point both ways (it works best that way, at least) |
| 17:16.12 | _psychic_ | so if Monkey hasMany Bananas, you also need to have Banana belongsTo Monkey |
| 17:16.15 | Utah_Dave | Hm, I think I didn't get the associations going both ways |
| 17:16.33 | Utah_Dave | OK, I'll give that a try later today. |
| 17:17.13 | Utah_Dave | Is there a way to modify how the scaffolding works? like sorting by a certain column or not showing every database field? |
| 17:17.55 | _psychic_ | Utah_Dave: you can, but its not documented well yet. |
| 17:18.15 | _psychic_ | scaffolding is mostly just temporary stuff, so we've been reluctant to make it very customizable |
| 17:18.30 | _psychic_ | Its really only meant for fast prototyping and getting your models and associations working well |
| 17:18.35 | Utah_Dave | I understand that |
| 17:19.19 | Utah_Dave | Personally, I really like being able to add a field or two to the database and have it automatically show in the table. |
| 17:19.20 | _psychic_ | The new version of the Bake script will generate scaffolded views and controllers |
| 17:19.33 | Utah_Dave | cool |
| 17:19.45 | _psychic_ | Its done, but I don't think its made it to trunk yet |
| 17:19.56 | _psychic_ | hopefully should be in 1.0 though |
| 17:20.33 | Utah_Dave | It would be handy to be able to use that code as a base to build upon. not having to throw it all out when you need to customize it. |
| 17:20.59 | _psychic_ | that's why I built it |
| 17:21.02 | _psychic_ | its really handy |
| 17:21.14 | Utah_Dave | you wrote that code? cool |
| 17:21.21 | _psychic_ | I hate coding up forms, and its a nice tool to get it basically on the table so you can move on with the fun stuff |
| 17:23.28 | Utah_Dave | yep |

| 20:40.27 | Utah_Dave | I have a web dev question if anyone wants to take a crack at it. |
| 20:40.31 | Utah_Dave | I have a database of audio files. I've created a web interface to them. |
| 20:41.04 | Utah_Dave | I have an application I wrote that takes a path to an audio file as an argument to open up that file for playback |
| 20:41.36 | Utah_Dave | Is it possible to have a link that a user can click on that will open up that audio file with my app? |
| 20:41.57 | Utah_Dave | I've been looking at mime types and stuff |
| 20:42.20 | Utah_Dave | I'm not sure this is the right way to go about this. |
| 20:42.23 | Utah_Dave | any ideas? |
| 20:46.15 | mindjuju | so quick question, when you say a database of audio files are you saying the audio files are stored in the database or the address to the database is stored as a string? |

| 20:50.07 | mindjuju | so quick question, when you say a database of audio files are you saying the audio files are stored in the database or the address to the database is stored as a string? |
| 20:50.43 | Utah_Dav1 | only the full path is in the database |
| 20:51.01 | Utah_Dav1 | the audio files are on a file server that is mapped to each user's drive |
| 20:51.53 | mindjuju | oh, isee |
| 20:52.03 | mindjuju | yup, actually, just crossed this bridge about a month ago |
| 20:52.13 | Utah_Dav1 | so the link would look something like <a href="g:\audio\audioFile1.wav">file 1</a> |
| 20:52.45 | Utah_Dav1 | what did you figure out? |
| 20:52.47 | mindjuju | your app is the viewer and the audio file is on the webserver and when they are clicking on the link, you don't want it in windows media player, for example, you want it in your viewer |
| 20:52.51 | mindjuju | right? |
| 20:53.44 | Utah_Dav1 | yes, that's right |
| 20:54.15 | mindjuju | k, this solution is for IIS 6, though somebody here should be able to point you in the right direction if your using something else |
| 20:54.27 | mindjuju | i did set the MIME type |
| 20:54.41 | mindjuju | hang on a quick sec and i'll pull that info real quick |
| 20:55.27 | Utah_Dav1 | ok, thanks |
| 20:57.27 | Utah_Dav1 | mindjuju: I have to go help a user. I'll be back in like 10 minutes |
| 20:58.07 | mindjuju | k, so here were my constraints, I wanted only certain videos to always use the app, not all videos played, so we changed the file extension to .bgm to the video itself to .bgm and set in MIME .bgm to MIME type bgm and on the client computer when they installed the viewer, we file associated that for all .bgm extension files |
| 21:09.44 | Utah_Dav1 | ok, I think I can make that work. |
| 21:10.23 | Utah_Dav1 | mindjuju: so would it work if I just made my viewer the default for wav files on the client computer? |

| 21:52.15 | macnewbold | Utah_Dav1: probably, but then every wav would play through your thing |
| 21:52.28 | macnewbold | which unless the user wants that, is probably not too friendly |
