Question

I have a CakePHP Console Shell that works fine until a Model->afterFind() tries to add some data to the results which includes adding links, which doesn’t seem to work while being called from the Console.

Is there a way to test in the Model->afterFind() callback function whether it’s being called from a Console Shell, so that I can skip the troublesome section that I don’t need anyway?

Thanks,
Ian

I’m not too sure whether there’s a Cake way to do it, but you can do it via regular PHP

 if(php_sapi_name() == 'cli' && empty(getClientIP())) {
      //running via CLI
 } else {
      //running normally
 }
