# Feb 9th 2018, 15:10 kevin I put some stops in my app and it looks like the app never even gets into the if($this->request->is(‘post’)) statement. I checked my form and it is going to the right end point and the method is post. Im not sure why it wouldn’t get into that if statemetn
# Feb 9th 2018, 15:09 kevin ok so I did find that I was doing entities incorrectly, and I believe I fixed that. I use the TableRegistry to pull the entity by ID, then I patch the entity with the request data
# Feb 9th 2018, 15:03 kevin should I not be using Entities to update items in my DB?
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:59 kevin I do have the Decklist entity in Model/Entity/Decklist.php
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:58 kevin It just reloads the /edit/1 page again with no messages
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:58 kevin I feel like im doing something super silly here. I cant get this form to save: https://pastebin.com/tiKnt9gR
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:40 jkarlmen because right now once activated i get the error "Users is not associated with ModelName" if i modify the plugin directly it works but that is generally frowned upon
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:39 jkarlmen I'd extend it but that would mostly apply it's properties to another model ... I'd like to mainly just apply table relations to the model the plugin is using
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:38 jkarlmen If so is there a way of adding to that plugin's model without modifying the vendor files?
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:38 jkarlmen so yet another question. Is it safe to assume that once loaded, the model of a plugin supersedes the model of a similarly name model in the app controller?
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:36 dereuromark sugitime: I only had this when importing e.g. from csv, then I had to manually str_replace them back from \r to "\r".
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:36 kevin it 100% does
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:36 kevin exactly
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:34 admad Then your data itself has \r\n as strings instead of actual new lines
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:33 kevin I changed it to a text area and its still showing \r\n in the text area
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:31 admad A textarea would show new lines as entered.
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:29 kevin is there any way to make the form do that?
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:29 kevin I have a form im working on; its an edit form. it one of the fields is $widget[0][‘details’]. this field has breaklines in the form of \r\n’s. when I $this->Form->create($widget), then $this->Form->control(‘details’), the form creates a textbox with a value of “this widget is used for stuff. stuff like\r\nfixing things\r\nbreaking things\r\ntesttest”. I’d prefer it actually parse the \r\n’s into breaklines.
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:26 neon1024 I think 2 years is pretty safe :slightly_smiling_face:

# Feb 9th 2018, 14:26 admad You mean `@since`, sadly we weren't too particular about adding that tag
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:25 neon1024 The code doesn’t have an `@from` docblock
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:25 neon1024 I’d like to add the isInteger validation rule, but my minimum version of the plugin is 3.4.0
# Feb 9th 2018, 14:24 neon1024 How can I find out when a method was added?
# Feb 9th 2018, 13:48 etipaced How do you sync them? Just a symlink?
# Feb 9th 2018, 13:34 dereuromark I keep them in default root, but I sync them into webroot/assets
# Feb 9th 2018, 13:07 etipaced Where is the best place to put the `node_modules` directory for a Cake 3 app? I’m new to using them and am unsure how to reference them from my templates if they are outside of `/webroot`.
# Feb 9th 2018, 13:00 bravo-kernel @dereuromark happy cakebox camper?
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:55 neon1024 Yeah, checking the entity in the controller after the patchEntity it’s still created a new entity. Even with setting $data to null in beforeMarshal. It’s even preserved the data, somehow..
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:53 neon1024 Be nice if there was afterMarshal, so I could check what’s happened
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:52 neon1024 As I have this in my beforeMarshal, and I’d like to not even create an entity for it, and just skip
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:51 neon1024 File uploaded https://cakesf.slack.com/files/U1BT622HW/F9638JVS5/requestdatadump_txt.txt / https://slack-files.com/T053DPNCM-F9638JVS5-3dfba40abe
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:51 neon1024 Possibly, sorry I don’t know if there is an issue. Perhaps it’s the one that @seideng linked to yesterday :slightly_smiling_face:
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:50 neon1024 ..and I think beforeSave is too late, as the entity is already created
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:50 dereuromark does that related to the open core ticket?
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:50 neon1024 Setting `$data = null;` doesn’t seem to cut it though
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:50 neon1024 Well this isn’t really just setting to null, as if the fields are empty I don’t want to create or save the entity at all
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:49 dereuromark for me its a generic issue, not per model
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:49 neon1024 This use-case is different, as it’s in a plugin
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:49 dereuromark you dont necessarily need to - use it and be happy :slightly_smiling_face: it fixes the issue that the core has
# Feb 9th 2018, 12:49 neon1024 I figured at the time, that it would be easier to drop in a quick few lines into my existing beforeMarshal
