# Jul 13th 2017, 08:10 hmic savants one is faster, this is more readable and flxible, i usually prefer using sprintf for string formatting
# Jul 13th 2017, 08:10 jarard01 hmic thanks - yes I just tried that and I'm going to use that approach
# Jul 13th 2017, 08:09 hmic jarard01, you could use printf number formatting too like sprintf('%010d', $int);
# Jul 13th 2017, 08:08 jarard01 thanks savant that worked
# Jul 13th 2017, 08:08 hmic marcusgoede: why translate on loading the file? - you will not need all of them in every case for sure. so thats quite a bit of wasted resources. just translate them when you output them - this is how it's usually done and best practise anyways!
# Jul 13th 2017, 08:08 jarard01 hi neon1025 o/
# Jul 13th 2017, 08:06 neon1024 Morning everyone
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:58 savant http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-pad.php
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:58 jarard01 so 1 would be come 00000001
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:58 jarard01 is there a cake way to add or pad a a number with leading 0's
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:29 marcusgoede ok thanks
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:29 savant sure
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:29 marcusgoede it works in AppController::beforeFilter(), is that good practice?
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:29 savant you can load it in your AppView
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:29 savant if its only for templates
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:29 savant i would load it after you’ve set the language.
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:28 marcusgoede for example options for select inputs like [‘active’ => __(‘active’)]
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:27 savant what is in that file?
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:26 marcusgoede 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
# Jul 13th 2017, 07:00 spriz Okay :slightly_smiling_face: Nice to hear I'm not the only one @savant :tada:
# Jul 13th 2017, 06:19 savant but I wouldnt write the second way normally at the application later
# Jul 13th 2017, 06:18 savant or plugins/behaviors that need to be generic
# Jul 13th 2017, 06:18 savant unless im doing some weird stuff with relations
# Jul 13th 2017, 06:18 savant i use the former
# Jul 13th 2017, 06:17 spriz Personally I've used the "old" (first) in own project code and the second only in behaviors, plugins etc.
# Jul 13th 2017, 06:16 spriz Question regarding syntax for the 3.x orm - which one do you prefer and why? https://gist.github.com/Spriz/645b9e96c1430f141f3d49e225e4ede6
# Jul 12th 2017, 22:03 spencdev 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
# Jul 12th 2017, 22:01 spencdev You can, I just didn't mean that modifying is the ONLY thing you can do
# Jul 12th 2017, 22:00 aaronc 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?
# Jul 12th 2017, 21:57 spencdev Not modify, but work with
# Jul 12th 2017, 21:56 spencdev 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
# Jul 12th 2017, 21:55 konstanting @chris-andre this looks interesting thanks
# Jul 12th 2017, 21:53 spencdev Your controller is Lists controller, but you are trying to query using Tests table?
# Jul 12th 2017, 21:50 slackebot the model?
# Jul 12th 2017, 21:50 aaronc 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

# Jul 12th 2017, 21:47 konstanting Alright then thank you all for your help and input :thumbsup:
# Jul 12th 2017, 21:45 konstanting 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
