you can however use `$this->set('variable_name', $variable)` to pass to the template the `$variable_name` |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:16 |
flavius |
public functions in controller generally mean they are actions |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:16 |
flavius |
you shouldn't add functions / methods in the template file |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:15 |
mr.mjsm |
i have another question, can I use this method in my index ctp ? |

good point. come to our university, you will be distinguished prof. in the first week |

because a tab could be a different number of columns depending on your environment, but a space is always one column :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:12 |
mr.mjsm |
isn't it better to use tabs for indentation ? that's what i was taught for python |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:12 |
flavius |
for indentation |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:12 |
mr.mjsm |
why ? |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:12 |
flavius |
also don't use tabs, use spaces :slightly_smiling_face: |

``` public function displayName($id) { $this->loadModel('Users'); $user = $this->Users->get($id); echo $user->name; } ``` |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:11 |
flavius |
so you need to add `$this->loadModel('Users');` in that function to make it work |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:10 |
flavius |
`$this->Users` means the model that is autoloaded with the controller because the controller has the same name |

File uploaded https://cakesf.slack.com/files/UBN7KUDRA/FBV9PPDHT/-.php / https://slack-files.com/T053DPNCM-FBV9PPDHT-05cf54cc7d - this method in the UsersController, i want to use it in the ServersController, if i want to get the user name. I already have the user id. just want to use this method and echo the result |

@neon1024 did you start using vs code yet? |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 11:31 |
portilloster |
@neon1024 Will try! Anyway the column type is not a string but a medium blob. I believe that creates anyway that problem. |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 11:30 |
turkles |
of course all mine were 0 values, but you could replace that with an array of values you want too.. |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 11:30 |
neon1024 |
@portilloster Just create whatever folder you want, it doesn’t matter really. I put my type file there as that’s the folder they use in the core :0 |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 11:29 |
turkles |
if anyone is interested I ended up creating $defaults in my entity constructor: parent::__construct($properties,$options); foreach($defaults as $value) { if (!property_exists($this,$value) andand !isset($this->{$value})) $this->{$value}=0; } |

@dereuromark Can you tell me which pluggin and how to install it? |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 11:24 |
dereuromark |
you install the plugin as usual |

@neon1024 Thanks for reply! I´m trying to implement what you said but I miss the Database folder under src. I´m in cakephp 3.5. Is this normal? Do I need to create the path and the file? |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 11:19 |
turkles |
yup I am still stuck on making a default entity. How can I populate some fields when I make a brand new entity, without having to put all those values in the newEntity()? |

@dereuromark please do I just download the file and add it in my cakephp application ? i mean https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tools/blob/master/src/Auth/MultiColumnAuthenticate.php |

usually a custom finder can be enough however. depends on the use case I guess. |

thanks @dereuromark let me check out the article |

thanks @neon1024 , please can you shed more light on this? |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 10:58 |
dereuromark |
thats what I use. |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 10:57 |
dereuromark |
Or use the existing multicolumn adapters, e.g. https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tools/blob/master/src/Auth/MultiColumnAuthenticate.php |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 10:56 |
neon1024 |
Yes, it’s possible. You could either customise your Auth finder, or write your own Authentication adapter |

@abdualelah.mdy can I have users login to a cakephp application with email/Password or Matric Number/Password? , I have some users who will login with email and password, then I also have some other sets of users who would login with matric number and password, is this possible on a single cakephp installation and database? if yes, please explain. |

'\Proffer\Database\Type\FileType');` you can find out more in the book https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/database-basics.html#adding-custom-database-types |

@portilloster I would guess that you have not declared a custom data type for the `Foto` field, and as such it is being marshalled into a string, because your database column is a string type. You will probably want a File data type, to get the post array through the marshaller. https://github.com/davidyell/CakePHP3-Proffer/blob/master/src/Database/Type/FileType.php then set the data type `Type::map('proffer.file', |
