# Mar 5th 2018, 14:23 dereuromark See https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-shim/tree/master/docs#nullable-behavior as to solve this core issue that you are facing then. This is still unresolved for most use cases, so this behavior is a vital piece to overcome the issue IMO.
# Mar 5th 2018, 14:22 leonardo.crecente ok thanks
# Mar 5th 2018, 14:21 dereuromark Its `... !=' => ''`
# Mar 5th 2018, 14:21 dereuromark you should never do both null and '' checks IMO, that is a data integraty problem. apart from that IS NOT' => '' is invalid syntax
# Mar 5th 2018, 14:20 leonardo.crecente I'm having some issues on cake 3 mysql query. Can someone help me please? https://pastebin.com/uZmPpMQz
# Mar 5th 2018, 14:19 popperz0r Hello! Any lib to generate facebook high resolution images?
# Mar 5th 2018, 14:14 Martin` since cakephp 3.5.13 in entity the $this->_properties array is not always filled? I do not check if an item exists in that array, happy it is just some small changes I have to do :P

# Mar 5th 2018, 13:31 admad just read the readme of socialauth :slightly_smiling_face:
# Mar 5th 2018, 13:29 birdy247 @admad Just wondering if you have any tips on migration from your Hybrid Auth plugin to the socialAuth plugin?
# Mar 5th 2018, 13:02 admad shiftplayer: it's not, but https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/crud-json-api is
# Mar 5th 2018, 13:00 admad @dereuromark "Spares me the internal request baggage" cells don't do any internal request
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:34 shiftplayer does anybody now if the JSON View described in the documentation (https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/json-and-xml-views.html) is compatible with json-api? (http://jsonapi.org/)
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:33 shiftplayer Hi
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:20 portilloster but the idea is to have a login, and in the next view you can see the name of the person that is logged
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:19 neon1024 Hehe!
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:19 portilloster I do not know whether the docs need tweaking, to be honest Im just a simply junior dev and I just do what I´m told!
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:18 portilloster thanks @neon1024!! It worked!!
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:04 joshualuckers but maybe helpers are a better solution
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:04 dereuromark I still use component+helper mix here :slightly_smiling_face: Spares me the internal request baggage
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:04 joshualuckers I use cells to make reusable pieces of templates. For example a "ProductPriceCell" that can be reused in different views.
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:03 neon1024 I like them for database driven navigation, and some sidebars
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:03 dereuromark Really? anything in cells can be done otherwise as well, or at least I thought so until now.
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:02 neon1024 I love a view cell :slightly_smiling_face:
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:01 dereuromark It doesnt work with cells yet quite well afaik - but tbh, I never use cells anyway. Dont find them useful.
# Mar 5th 2018, 12:00 dereuromark The plugin workaround using https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tinyauth/blob/master/docs/Authorization.md#authusercomponent works fine for me (and all others) for the time being, but I would still like to see this landing in core at some point.
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:58 dereuromark yes, opened April 2015: https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues/6247 => evolved into https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues/6925 but should have never closed due to the missing request part IMO that the helper/view level needs :slightly_smiling_face:
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:55 neon1024 Oh, there is a ticket already? Will the new Auth middleware change the way the view layer, accesses the auth information
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:52 dereuromark But some docs until then probably cant hurt :slightly_smiling_face:
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:52 dereuromark No, it means we have to get this ticket done that is dormant for 3 years, to move everything to its own request (kind of) level.
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:51 neon1024 Perhaps this is an indication that the docs need tweaking?
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:51 dereuromark also it breaks non-stateless approach usually, and has other cavities
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:50 neon1024 I also wouldn’t want to have a component being accessed from my view layer
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:50 dereuromark Or, if you use tinyauth AuthUser helper: `$this->AuthUser->user('username')`. No, never ever use AuthComponent here, and statically even never ever ever :slightly_smiling_face:
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:49 edgaras.jan `AuthComponent::user('username')` https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/controllers/components/authentication.html#accessing-the-logged-in-user
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:48 neon1024 `getSession()` now, if you’re on 3.4+
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:48 neon1024 I use this personally, `$this->request->session()->read('Auth.User.username')`
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:47 neon1024 If you’re using the AuthComponent you should be able to read it from the Session
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:42 portilloster Hi guys! Can you please help me with this basic problem? In the default layout template I want to show the logged User Name in this div: <div class="top-bar-section"> <ul class="right"> <li><a target="_blank" href="#">USER_NAME</a></li> </ul> </div> How can I do this? Thanks!!!
# Mar 5th 2018, 11:21 dereuromark always check log files here, they contain the info you need.
