CipherBehavior Class Info:

Class Declaration:

class CipherBehavior extends ModelBehavior

File name:
app/models/behaviors/cipher.php
Description:

Class Inheritance

ModelBehavior Object

Properties:

Show/Hide parent properties
  • config

  • default

    Default values of behavior. @key Symetric key. Default is value of 'Security.salt' configuration.

  • mapMethods array

    Allows the mapping of preg-compatible regular expressions to public or private methods in this class, where the array key is a /-delimited regular expression, and the value is a class method. Similar to the functionality of the findBy* / findAllBy* magic methods.

  • settings array

    Contains configuration settings for use with individual model objects. This is used because if multiple models use this Behavior, each will use the same object instance. Individual model settings should be stored as an associative array, keyed off of the model name.

_addToWhitelist

top

If $model's whitelist property is non-empty, $field will be added to it. Note: this method should only be used in beforeValidate or beforeSave to ensure that it only modifies the whitelist for the current save operation. Also make sure you explicitly set the value of the field which you are allowing.

Parameters:
  • object $model required

    Model using this behavior

  • string $field required

    Field to be added to $model's whitelist
