no you would just do that to make sure composer is loading it |
| # |

Ahh. in the controller works. |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:31 |

In the model's controller, or AppView? |

@neon1024 sure, I'll check it out, jsut started this part of the project, not committed |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:28 |
ricksaccous |
first of all to see if anything is available via composer just try loading the namespaced class directly |

So yeah, as @ricksaccous said |

(i know because I initially tried haha) |

Apr 18th 2019, 14:27 |
ricksaccous |
lol |

Apr 18th 2019, 14:27 |
this.impetus |
composer won't even install the wrong one :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
this.impetus |
yeah I'm on the older versoin of the plugin tho |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
neon1024 |
Well that might be the issue? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
ricksaccous |
heh |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
neon1024 |
..but as the latest release of the plugin requires cakephp 3.7.1 |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
this.impetus |
3.6.2 |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
ricksaccous |
what version of cake are you on? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
this.impetus |
*go? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
this.impetus |
I did not, sorry, I'm a front-end guy learning this stuff; that step wasn't in the instructions. Where does the call to `$this->addPlugin()` |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
ricksaccous |
the old way of doing it... |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
neon1024 |
The plugin provides both methods of loading it seems |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
neon1024 |
Then in AppView.php use `$this->loadHelper()` |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:26 |
ricksaccous |
it seems he loaded the plugin via bootstrap |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:25 |
neon1024 |
Did you use `$this->addPlugin()` in your Application.php? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:24 |
this.impetus |
And sorry that was a clipboard fail, the error I'm getting is "Helper class ThumberHelper could not be found." |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:23 |
this.impetus |
Why might cake fail to find a helper installed via composer? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:23 |
this.impetus |
Well, actually; I did read the instructions wrong, I was placing the call to loadHelper in an individual Controller, not the AppView class. I've done this, now. Plugin instaleld via composer, loaded config/bootstrap. but getting "Plugin::load('Thumber', ['bootstrap' => true, 'routes' => true]);" |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:17 |
this.impetus |
please nvm, I read the instructions wrong |
| # |

App\Controller\ImagesController::loadHelper()``` |

morning all you helpful cake enthusiasts. I'm trying to install and use a cake thumbnail plugin, https://github.com/mirko-pagliai/cakephp-thumber. In the CookBook's instructions for using a helper (https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers.html#configuring-helpers) is a snippet, ```$this->loadHelper('helpername')```, inserted after the ```parent::intitialize()``` line of any controller, but I'm getting ```Call to undefined method |

@mehov sure can |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 12:41 |
neon1024 |
Yeah, you’re right |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 12:40 |
admad |
in fact it would be a pain, you will need `return null` if you don't want to explicitly calls `render()` |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 12:39 |
admad |
there's isnt much practical value |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 12:38 |
neon1024 |
I should think about the value of it really, rather than the code aesthetic |
