# Oct 6th 2016, 18:44 nemmons Okay. Thank you for your time.
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:43 admad s/have/gave
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:43 admad I have the order if execution of the methods. Don't know any other way of stating the same
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:43 nemmons I didn't make any excuses. I agreed that your suggestion was correct and then gave the explanation for why i was unable to follow it
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:42 nemmons I'm not asking for a code change. I'm simply trying to understand how the code as written makes sense given you remark
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:42 slackebot controller::initialise(), do it in beforeFilter()" and answer to my question?
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:42 nemmons You said "A table initialized in Controller::beforeRender() won't get the footprint since AuthComponent::startup() has still not run." My question was "Looking in Http/ActionDispatcher->_invoke() it looks to me like component startup methods are definitely called before Controller::beforeRender().. Is it possible this has changed since May when you said this, or am i horribly misreading this code?" how is "don't initialise tables in
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:42 admad The code hasn't changed since my comment and unlikely to change
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:41 admad Answer came first, then the snark since you gave a lame excuse for being unable to follow advice given
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:40 nemmons No, you didn't answer me. I asked a very specific question and you gave a snarky response that was only tangentially related to what i asked.
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:40 admad Answered
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:40 admad And i answer you :)
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:39 nemmons I was just trying to ask an honest question to try and better understand the code base
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:39 admad Well sucks to be you then
# Oct 6th 2016, 18:38 nemmons i completely agree with you and if i was in total control of my codebase and had time to refactor a bunch of poorly-written stuff i would definitely do so
# 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!
