# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:38 davinci how do I "increase the depth"?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:37 hmic but sometimes you need to tell it
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:37 hmic cake usually guesses your types very well
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:37 hmic it makes a hell lot of a difference if you bound value is 0 or '0'
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:36 hmic but, i am very certain it does, but it's of the wrong type!
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:36 hmic to see it in the dump, just increase the depth
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:36 hmic :D
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:36 hmic !
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:36 hmic i can tell you?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:36 davinci trying to determine why the query doesn't appear to be using the value I think it should be using
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:34 hmic davinci: whats the usecase?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:33 davinci Cake 3's query object has 'sql', which you can get by `->sql()`, and it also has 'params', which I cannot figure out how to access. Details of my problem here. Any help GREATLY appreciated. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48602025/how-to-get-params-from-query-object-in-cakephp-3
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:11 hmic rather a nice explanation on who to think of working with the tree...
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:11 hmic ;)
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:11 ahmed_bodi thats a nice solution
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic this way you can get a tree of all users of you app too :D
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic just make evey user level 1 below your "app" root-node
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 ahmed_bodi hm? how so?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic you dont need that
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:10 hmic why?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:09 ahmed_bodi each user would be a root node
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:09 ahmed_bodi for now yes, in the future nope
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:08 hmic there is only one root node in the table, isn't it? :p
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:07 ahmed_bodi :P
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:07 ahmed_bodi haha, would do if i wasnt allowing user signups
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:05 hmic just dont insert the root through the ORM :p
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:05 ahmed_bodi @hmic the default buildrules for my model, its checking existsIn for the parent_id but its set to null as it should for the root node, safe to remove?
# Feb 3rd 2018, 22:00 greenjam94 Setting the display field works perfectly, thanks for the help (and for answering my earlier question)
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:59 hmic additionally, you can change the find('list') call in the controller and provide the valueField parameter to its options array, to specify which field to use
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:59 greenjam94 ah! I'll try that
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:58 hmic you can change it there
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:58 hmic greenjam94: it populates the display field from the table
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:58 greenjam94 ahmed_bodi: I need to clarify, this is a select control, not a regular text input. I need to change the name of each select option, it's pulling the wrong column from the entity
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:57 hmic jason001, no worries
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 ahmed_bodi no worries :)
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 ahmed_bodi wanted to avoid coding it up until i knew the structure worked for what i wanted
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 jason001 so should I just copy-paste my apology from above? thank you hmic
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 hmic there is a method to do so (regenerate from either lft/rgt or parent_id)
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:56 hmic hint: it will be enough to populate the parent_id and let cake fix the tree
# Feb 3rd 2018, 21:55 hmic ahmed_bodi, you dont need to manually populate them. you should read the docs on how the tree works
