Treat mysql longtext as integer in query

SELECT  * FROM    mytable ORDER BY  myfield + 0

<script>
  // A jQuery based placeholder polyfill
$(document).ready(function(){
  function add() {
    if($(this).val() === ''){
      $(this).val($(this).attr('placeholder')).addClass('placeholder');
    }
  }

  function remove() {
    if($(this).val() === $(this).attr('placeholder')){
      $(this).val('').removeClass('placeholder');
    }
  }

  // Create a dummy element for feature detection
  if (!('placeholder' in $('<input>')[0])) {

    // Select the elements that have a placeholder attribute
    $('input[placeholder], textarea[placeholder]').blur(add).focus(remove).each(add);

    // Remove the placeholder text before the form is submitted
    $('form').submit(function(){
      $(this).find('input[placeholder], textarea[placeholder]').each(remove);
    });
  }
});
 
  </script>

Add this code in core.php

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> // <![CDATA[
      $(document).ready(function() {
$('input[type="text"]').focus(function(srcc)
  {  ($(this).val() == $(this)[0].title)
  { $(this).removeClass("defaultTextActive");
                          $(this).val("");
  } });
$('input[type="text"]').blur(function()
  { if ($(this).val() == "")
  { $(this).addClass("defaultTextActive");
                  $(this).val($(this)[0].title); }
}); $('input[type="text"]').blur(); });

Disabling Layouts and Views in CakePHP

It is easy to disable both the layout and view in CakePHP by putting the following line in your controller action:

$this->autoRender = false;

If you want to disable just the layout, use the following line in your controller action:

$this->layout = false;

And if you only want to disable the view for this action, use the following line in your controller:

$this->render(false);

Note that using $this->layout = false; and $this->render(false); together in your controller action will give you the same results as $this->autoRender = false;

Ajax function

function ajaxRequest(){

$this->layout = 'ajax'; // ajax plain layout

$this->params['data']; // to get form submit values

$this->params['url'];  // to get query string

}
