Form->hidden() would just generate the input tag nothing else, so you actually went in the opposite direction to achieve want you want |

@admad ah thanks. already tried that. Had to change from Form->hidden to Form->control to get it to work |

@conehead use the 'template' key in options to override required template(s) |

is it possible to disable a form template for a single field? I get several divs around an hidden field :S |

that’s a good #dislacimer |

I will qualify it that I’ve just arrived at work and haven’t had a coffee yet! :P |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:24 |
spriz |
Yeah, I think I will :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:24 |
spriz |
I’ll explore youre idea and check pros and cons though |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:24 |
neon1024 |
Give it a go in a branch perhaps and bake some stuff, see how you like it |

Just `Products BelongsToMany Products through RelatedProducts` - same same though |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:23 |
spriz |
That was my original idea |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:23 |
neon1024 |
..and the store the association type in the join table? :man-shrugging: |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:23 |
neon1024 |
Perhaps Products hasAndBelongsToMany Products Through AssociatedProducts |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:22 |
neon1024 |
Or maybe I’m wrong. Perhaps you just want a hasAndBelongsToMany Through |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:22 |
neon1024 |
Perhaps I explained it badly! :P |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:22 |
neon1024 |
That’s the many-to-many part, so you can have the products to choose from :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:21 |
spriz |
thanks though! |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:21 |
spriz |
I have to draw it to understand I think :P |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:21 |
neon1024 |
They would be |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:21 |
neon1024 |
That would be my approach anyway :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:21 |
spriz |
but those AssociatedProduct need to be other `Product`entities |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:21 |
neon1024 |
Then you could customise the property name depending on the AssociatedProductTypes.name |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:21 |
neon1024 |
So then I’d have a product, and a nice ’associated_products` entity property with an array of products |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:20 |
neon1024 |
`$this->Products->find()->contain(['AssociatedProducts' => function (Query $q) { return $q->where(['AssociatedProducts.association_type_id' => 1]); } ]);` |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:20 |
spriz |
Ah I see |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:19 |
neon1024 |
Product hasMany AssociatedProduct |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:19 |
neon1024 |
AssociatedProduct belongsTo Product |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:19 |
neon1024 |
Many rows |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:19 |
neon1024 |
As the association would be to the product |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:19 |
spriz |
then how would that link 2 products :thinking_face: ? |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:18 |
neon1024 |
It would only have product_id |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:18 |
neon1024 |
It would not, no. |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:18 |
neon1024 |
Then I could get any product, and get all it’s associations by type |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:18 |
spriz |
but it would still contain `product_source_id` and `product_target_id` I guess? |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:18 |
neon1024 |
So I could have a table with all the associations |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:18 |
neon1024 |
Probably with a ‘many-to-many’ join |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:18 |
neon1024 |
Then my UI would be a multi select of products for each type |
| # |
Apr 9th 2019, 07:17 |
neon1024 |
@spriz I’d have another table for ‘product_associations’, with id, product_id, association_type_id |
| # |

@conehead sounds like beforeMarshal :slightly_smiling_face: |
