Cool! It’s working! Thanx a lot!!!!

Best regards,

Now it will accept
“string”=>array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE LOWER(‘%%%2\$s%%’)”),

BTW, thanks for pointing this out. it’s nice addition to the component.

If I use
“string”=>array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE LOWER(%%%2\$s%%)”),

I get
WHERE ((LOWER(FIELD) LIKE LOWER(%VALUE%) ”) OR …

the proper version would be
WHERE ((LOWER(FIELD) LIKE LOWER(‘%VALUE%’)) OR …

bacause this component is written for MySQL probaby that’s why with Oracle it doesn’t work properly. I mean data types. Probably you have to check what kind of columns are returned from the table and modify the array keys (“string”, “text”, “date”, “datetime”) and to change them in the $fieldFormatting array.

About the second thing – Cake wraps the value of the string with quotes (especially if it’s a text). That’s why use:

“string”=>array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE LOWER(%%%2\$s%%)”),

note that now everything is array node rather the key=>value pair – “,” are removed.

it has just one problem :
%)’)

nothing of them works.

I would save the types “string”, “text”, “date”, “datetime”.

Even if I use
var $fieldFormatting = array(
array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE LOWER(%2\$s%%)”)
);

I get
((FIELD = ‘VALUE’) OR …

Lower will not be translated prerly.

I’m almoust at the goal, if you write
“string”=>array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE LOWER”, “(%%%2\$s%%)”),

you will get
((LOWER(FIELD) LIKE LOWER ‘(%VALUE%)’) OR …

Only the last “)” is wrong, I don’t know how to fix it.

Doing following format I believe it’s enough:

$this->Filter->fieldFormatting["string"]=array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE”, “LOWER(%2\$s%%)”);

This way either the field and string will be lower cased and this will be pretty much enough.

If this doesn’t working (the second part of the array is quoted) try
$this->Filter->fieldFormatting["string"]=array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE LOWER(%2\$s%%)”);

If you don’t want to touch the component you can add this code in the AppController::beforeFilter() otherwise just replace the variable in the Filter component.

I have one more question about the $fieldFormatting. It’s concerning case insensitive search.

I would like to have something like

select ‘TEST’ from dual
where (LOWER(‘sera’) LIKE ‘%’ || LOWER(‘SERA’) || ‘%’);

How should I change the $fieldFormatting?
It should be something like

“string”=>array(“LOWER(%1\$s) LIKE “, “%%% ||| LOWER(2\$s) || %%”),

Do you know other solution for the case insensitive search?

if(!empty($this->data['Model']['search_value']) && $this->data['Model']['search_value']){
$this->data['Model']['field1'] = $this->data['Model']['search_value'];
$this->data['Model']['field2'] = $this->data['Model']['search_value'];
unset($this->data['Model']['search_value']);
}

Notice (8): Undefined index: search_value [APP/controllers/components/filter.php, line 62]
String 62 is “if(isset($this->fieldFormatting[$columns[$field]])){“
