Write less code: merge Save and Edit in CakePHP

In most cases writing less code gives the developer a series of advantages: it’s easier to maintain and extend, easier to read and easier to debug! In this post I’m going to suggest a little CakePHP tip that in the long run will save you a lot of coding.
Some develepers already implement this method, but I think it deserves much wider usage: I’m talking about merging model save and edit in a single controller method.

Multistep forms in CakePHP 2.2.2

One of the features I really love about PHP frameworks is form management. Coding forms in plain PHP can easily become a pain if not well planned out. Multistep forms take this complexity even further, especially when you care about user experience.
In this tutorial you’ll be amazed by how much little code can manage a whole full featured multistep form when taking advantage of CakePHP powerful classes. We’ll build the form in only 60 lines of controller code.

Enable CSV Import for all controllers/models in a CakePHP 2.x project

I often use phpMyAdmin to import csv data into projects I am building, this can be tedious as phpMyAdmin requires the number of fields and field order to match exactly for the csv import to work.
This frustration prompted me to explore the Utils plugin by CakeDC which contains a CsvImport behavior. I wanted this functionality for all of my controllers/models during the development process. Import functionality will eventually end up under the admin interface of my project. If you use admin routing and would like the import functionality only available through an admin url simply change the method name below to admin_import().

How To Convert Virtual Machines Between VirtualBox and VMware

Migrating to another virtual machine program can be intimidating. if you already have your virtual machines set up they way you like them, you don’t necessarily have to install them from scratch – you can migrate your existing virtual machines.
VirtualBox and VMware use different virtual machine formats, but each supports the standard Open Virtualization Format. Convert your existing virtual machine to OVF or OVA and you’ll be able to import it into another virtual machine program.
Unfortunately, this may not always work perfectly, as VirtualBox and VMware both seem to use slightly different OVA/OVF implementations that aren’t entirely compatible. If this doesn’t work, you may want to reinstall your virtual machine’s guest operating system from scratch.
