IpBehavior plugin for CakePHP
Description
An Ip Behavior for the Database Framework of CakePHP, which fills a specified field of an entity with the current client ip taken from the current request., (*1)
This plugin should work lovely with the IpType plugin., (*2)
Installation
You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer., (*3)
The recommended way to install composer packages is:, (*4)
``` php
composer require thefredfox/cakephp-ip-behavior, (*5)
After that you have to load the plugin in your application's bootstrap file and map the type for the database as follows:
``` php
Plugin::load('IpBehavior', ['bootstrap' => true]);
In the Table class itself you have to add this behavior:, (*6)
``` php
// in your Entity Table class (eg. UsersTable), (*7)
public function initialize(array $config) {
//...
$this->addBehavior('IpBehavior.Ip');
//...
}, (*8)
The default is, that the behavior will use the field named 'ip', but you can change the configurations like this:
``` php
// in your Entity Table class (eg. UsersTable)
public function initialize(array $config) {
//...
$this->addBehavior('IpBehavior.Ip', ['fields' => ['other_ip_field']);
//...
}
and if you want that the ip should always be stored:, (*9)
``` php
// in your Entity Table class (eg. UsersTable), (*10)
public function initialize(array $config) {
//...
$this->addBehavior('IpBehavior.Ip', ['fields' => ['ip' => 'always']);
// respectively
$this->addBehavior('IpBehavior.Ip', ['fields' => ['other_ip_field' => 'always']);
//...
}, (*11)
In that way you can store the creators and the modifiers ip:
``` php
// in your Entity Table class (eg. UsersTable)
public function initialize(array $config) {
//...
$this->addBehavior('IpBehavior.Ip', ['fields' => ['ip', 'other_ip_field' => 'always']);
//...
}
The 'new' configuration is default and you don't need to explicitly set it., (*12)
