Hmmm… I’ll mark that down for a future project, perhaps. When I am more comfortable/familiar with CakePHP. |

Hmmmm, I wonder if it’s possible to modify the Text Helper’s toList() method so that it will include the Oxford Comma… |

Excellent. It’ll be slow going, but I don’t mind investing the time in it. The project is already working (mostly) as a Java desktop app. This will be my chance to not only move it to a web app, but also to improve upon it. And you can bet I’ll be in here almost daily to ask questions. |

Nice :slightly_smiling_face: I also started with a way to big project but it turned out quite well after some months. And I learned a ton |

Oh, I definitely have a project in mind. It’s a big one and might be over my head, but it’s something I really need to do for my employer. (Not to mention something I can showcase to get a better job elsewhere.) |

Any plans what you want to build after the tutorials? I find it quite motivating to have a little project which can actually be used when finished. |

Excellent, @mikesmoniker and @cleptric. I mean, I’ve got a decent grasp of PHP and just recently learned object-oriented PHP (classes, using the arrow (->) to get at an object’s properties and methods, how to call a static property/method, inheritance, abstraction, etc.) from Lynda. |

@sturm When I started programming in php, I took a similar path and to be honest, I regretted it later. Sure, the framework will do a lot for you, but having a reasonable background on oop php programming will help a lot. I started to contribute to CakePHP to do more plain php ^^ |

Understanding the basics of PHP will go a long way (just like knowing Ruby is going to benefit someone writing a Rails app) in understanding what the framework is doing and how to get it to do other things. But for just getting started it’s definitely reasonable to focus on Cake’s conventions and learn *how* to do a bunch of the basic tasks vs. understanding the implementation details of what the framework is actually doing on your |

I need to learn CakePHP’s syntax and vocabulary to use it. I *don’t* need to focus so much on the details of the underlying PHP. (i.e., what the $this object is, following the chain of calls, etc.) Does this sound anywhere close to correct? |

Finished the first half of the Bookmarker tutorial. I think I’m beginning to see what I need to do when using Cake PHP: |

I thought I would also then have to remove them form validation, but it appears that they are set to hidden and there for by-pass validation by default meaning Angular and Cake dovetail nicely |

What‘s the content of $this->request->getData() in your Controller? |

ok so I am using Angular to not show fields on my front end under certain conditions |

it seems that is the case |

ahh - does validation ignore hidden files? |

cleptric, there is an issue with validation - look at this simple rule |

ok thanks jeremyharris |

you can use the “on” key, like ‘on’ => ‘create’ |

dariolap have you checked out the docs on validation? they explain how to do so: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/validation.html#conditional-validation |

Hi all, I have this code https://gist.github.com/anonymous/fe33d07deadd8ad3ad7fe9f45403cb17, how i can to validate this only on create? |

nah I just didn't look at it hard enough. I just found the exceptions that were messin my tests up and turned em off lol. so I explain this to my husband, who is an auto mechanic, and he was basically like "you're dumb, that's like if one of your sensors is making your check engine light come on, and so you uninstall the sensor" lol!!! |

always worth looking at the vendor code ;) |

it never occurred to me that there could just be a built-in way to turn it off for testing....... |

I was scolded by 2 people yesterday for just going into the source code and do that tho. like I went in and just turned the exceptions off and made it so that it'd return the state values anyway. |
