it works in AppController::beforeFilter(), is that good practice? |

you can load it in your AppView |

if its only for templates |

i would load it after you’ve set the language. |

Jul 13th 2017, 07:28 |

for example options for select inputs like [‘active’ => __(‘active’)] |

what is in that file? |

where is a good place to load configuration file with Configure::load() which contain translated values with __()? When I load the config in bootstrap.php the values will be translated to the apps default language, not the current one |

Okay :slightly_smiling_face: Nice to hear I'm not the only one @savant :tada: |

but I wouldnt write the second way normally at the application later |

Jul 13th 2017, 06:18 |

or plugins/behaviors that need to be generic |

unless im doing some weird stuff with relations |

Jul 13th 2017, 06:18 |

i use the former |

Jul 13th 2017, 06:17 |

Personally I've used the "old" (first) in own project code and the second only in behaviors, plugins etc. |

Question regarding syntax for the 3.x orm - which one do you prefer and why? https://gist.github.com/Spriz/645b9e96c1430f141f3d49e225e4ede6 |

But generally, and I don't know you're situation so take it for what it's worth, you use the same controller as your model, unless it's an associated table. Or like I said, depending on the situation |

You can, I just didn't mean that modifying is the ONLY thing you can do |

Gotcha, working now. Why did you explicitly state that I can't modify anything from that Model? Should I just create an edit method for each of those controllers and redirect to that if they choose to edit it? |

Not modify, but work with |

If you're purposely trying to use ListsController to modify Tests table, you have to load that table in using `$this->loadModel('Tests');` |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:55 |
aaronc |
Yeah the plan was to have a ListsController that can edit the information in several other Tables all in one place. I do have a functional TestsController and TestTable |

@chris-andre this looks interesting thanks |

Your controller is Lists controller, but you are trying to query using Tests table? |

the model? |

So I'm still struggling with something that is certainly a basic feature. How do I just query my table manually? I have my controller ``` use Cake\ORM\Query; class ListsController extends AppController { public function index() { $result = $this->Tests->query(); pr($result); } } ``` But it throws an error "Call to a member function query() on boolean. So my Tests variable is a boolean? Does it need to referenced somehow so that it |

Alright then thank you all for your help and input :thumbsup: |

yes I think thats the only solution i belongstomany is used |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:44 |
chris-andre |
Right, only I can think of is to have two associations with alias UserA and UserB, then `->contain(['UserA', 'UserB'])` |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:43 |
konstanting |
It would be nice to just contain(['Friends']) but this only works for UserA -> UserB and not if I select userB to contain UserA |

@chris-andre Thats essentially what the users_users table is. This works in one direction but not in both. |

Just to give you an input on join tables, according the docs: >Join tables, used in BelongsToMany relationships between models, should be named after the model tables they will join, arranged in alphabetical order (articles_tags rather than tags_articles). |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:22 |
ericadeefox |
^^oh no that's much better, to have a users_groups and a users_friendships |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:20 |
chris-andre |
That would be "easier". That would be a groups (or something similar) with groups_users. |

@chris-andre ahh good point if there are just 2 users per friendship, I was thinking a "friendship" would have >= 2 users, as many as necessary lol |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:18 |
chris-andre |
@konstanting I would go for one table named whatever (friendships) with id:integer user_a:integer user_b:integer. Two rows for one friendship should not be necessary. Now, I'm haven't thought about the a nice cake-way to create the association. |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:16 |
ericadeefox |
in the Friendships model, you'd put that Friendships entities have many Users entities. in this instance, a Friendship is just, like, an entity that multiple Users can collaborate on. no different than if an article had multiple authors for example. |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:14 |
ericadeefox |
if UserA and UserB have Friendship1, then that's how they relate. in `users_friends`, there'd be a row for UserA and Friendship1, and a separate row for UserB and Friendship1 |
| # |
Jul 12th 2017, 21:13 |

```$this->belongsToMany('Friends', [ 'className' => 'Users', 'joinTable' => 'users_users', 'targetForeignKey' => 'friend_id' ]);``` |
