# Oct 6th 2016, 18:38 admad @nemmons don't initialise tables in controller::initialise(), do it in beforeFilter(). Problem solved
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:19 nemmons well, i guess it's more precise to say Users loaded through the Manager association will still have Vendors attached
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:18 nemmons Users that happen to be Managers will still have Vendors attached
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:17 nemmons associations define relationships between tables, so Vendor belongsTo User
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:13 Leidenfrost Now, another question. I created the 'Manager' relationship with itself. The 'User' has a table Vendors that is usually attached with a belongsTo from Vendor. Tried, instead, creating a belongsTo in Vendor model that links to this new 'Manager' association but I couldn't make it work. And yes, I'm using find with recursion = 2
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:12 birdy247 What is the best way to have this set to 0 if the user leaves it blank
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:11 birdy247 if i dont fill it in, I get an exception saying it cannot be null
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:11 birdy247 It is allowedEmpty
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:11 birdy247 and have a field called event_count which is an int
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:11 birdy247 I baked a form
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:05 CoderJon Thanks for the direction! Found it in http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/entities.html#validation-errors and not in the saving data section, lol
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:05 michaelze CoderJon: You can also pass a field's name to the errors() method in order to retrieve specific information about only one field's error...
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:05 nemmons it will be an array containing fields and error messages
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:05 nemmons Yup
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:04 CoderJon Ohhh, so something like $article->errors() ? It wasn't listed in the save section of the book.
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:01 michaelze CoderJon: You can use the EntityTrait::errors() method on the entity that failed to save...
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:00 escape CoderJon, from the entity
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:59 CoderJon If your save fails in cakephp 3, how do you get the error message in the controller?
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:50 hmic you can read them for every version, so 2.4, 2.5 and so on
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:49 hmic http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/appendices/2-3-migration-guide.html
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:36 Leidenfrost I couldn't find a guide to upgrade cake 2.x to a more recent version. Does it have any risk involved?
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:33 Leidenfrost hmic: It worked. Thanks :)
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:31 nemmons Anyway @hmic thanks very much for your help and guidance on this issue
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:30 nemmons It feels kind of like 'cheating' to create a 'fake' event like that
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:19 hmic just play the event again as soon as you got the information needed. neat!
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:19 hmic its a solid looking solution... i do actually like it!
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:17 nemmons @hmic I solved my footprint problem in what i think is a pretty gross and goofy way. I added `$this->footprint(new Event('', TableRegistry::get('Users')));` to my beforeFilter. Basically just simulating an event so that the FootprintAwareTrait can attach the FootprintListener to the UsersTable. It's not pretty but it works.
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:16 hmic belongsTo Manager, set the foreignkey to manager_id, and be done. you can add the condition if you feel to, but it does not matter really
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:15 hmic Leidenfrost, what i said will work on 2.2.
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:15 hmic Unfaiir, http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/migrations.html
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:14 hmic and there is no excuse eighter!
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:14 hmic Leidenfrost, first: there is no reason to not upgrade this ancient version of cake to a more decent 2.x release!
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:14 Leidenfrost Sorry, Cake 2.2
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:13 hmic there is a migrations shell
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:13 hmic Unfaiir, there is. its callled migrations
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:13 Unfaiir In cakephp 3, do we still build the tables manually or is there some kind of database migration like ASP.NET and Laravel that builds and changes the tables automatically?
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:11 hmic you do need 2: belongsTo Manager and hasMany Managedusers, as nemmons said
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:11 nemmons sorry ignore that
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:11 hmic and it should be a belongsto as i said
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:11 hmic Leidenfrost, sure you did not missmatch the foreignkey and associationforeignkeys?
# Oct 6th 2016, 17:11 nemmons shouldn't that be HasMany?
