Jul 23rd 2018, 13:20 |

| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 13:16 |
flavius |

I prefer components :slightly_smiling_face: |

you can have private functions that are helpers for those actions however |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 13:15 |
flavius |
public functions in controllers go to actions (URL) |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 13:14 |

>> is this right ? yep |

@flavius I gave VS Code a bit of a try out, but I haven’t used it properly for a whole day yet |

highstrike: dont tell them lies. tabs are superior. it is just that the psr people are 90s :slightly_smiling_face: and as such cake has to do that now. |

mr.mjsm |
thanks |

Jul 23rd 2018, 12:22 |
mr.mjsm |
ok i think i got it. will work on it |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:22 |

you write your function in your custom helper and you call that function from your templates |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:21 |
mr.mjsm |
and i can call the function from my helper method ? |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:20 |
flavius |
and then all your templates can access that function :slightly_smiling_face: |

Jul 23rd 2018, 12:19 |
flavius |
just like `$this->Html` is HtmlHelper in the cake's core |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:18 |
flavius |
then you are looking for a view helper |

File uploaded https://cakesf.slack.com/files/UBN7KUDRA/FBW6UTTT9/-.php / https://slack-files.com/T053DPNCM-FBW6UTTT9-5977770f01 - i want to use something like this in my index ctp |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:17 |
flavius |
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 |
| # |
Jul 23rd 2018, 12:13 |
flavius |
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 |
| # |
