# Apr 30th 2019, 16:08 ricksaccous just create a new helper class and use the trait in it
# Apr 30th 2019, 16:08 this.impetus Ah! yep. got it. ty and @admad vm
# Apr 30th 2019, 16:08 ricksaccous and use the helper
# Apr 30th 2019, 16:08 ricksaccous so basically you want to create a helper
# Apr 30th 2019, 16:07 this.impetus I get that—so what I *want* is to leverage a single function in the trait in a template file (I could add the trait to the controller and create the ID list before hand I guess..? seems unwieldy?). At this point it'd be easier to just copy and paste it, haha, but it's worth learning to do properly. Again, if anyone's busy ignore this, I'm just being anal
# Apr 30th 2019, 16:05 ricksaccous @this.impetus you can use the trait in any class
# Apr 30th 2019, 16:03 this.impetus I can see extending a new View class with the trait, i suppose, but that's extremely overkill for my context
# Apr 30th 2019, 16:01 this.impetus @admad Ignore this if you're busy, this is a curiosity/learning thing—I'm not sure how, in the context of a view, to utilize the trait you linked. tried `use Cake\View\Helper\IdGeneratorTrait` coupled with `IdGeneratorTrait::_id()` but it's a protected method; is this a PHP-ignorance or Cake-ignorance thing? :P
# Apr 30th 2019, 15:51 this.impetus @admad ty
# Apr 30th 2019, 15:46 charolastra hold on, i can load the model and add jobs even if the Plugin isn't loaded; neither in Application.php nor in bootstrap.php?
# Apr 30th 2019, 15:36 neon1024 That sounds like it’s because Task must implement Queue\Shell\Task\QueueTaskInterface rather than an error with addPlugin
# Apr 30th 2019, 15:33 charolastra dereuromark: the documentation for Queue talks about Plugin::load(), which is deprecated. so i tried to put Application->addPlugin in bootstrap(). but then the workers fail with "RuntimeException: Task must implement Queue\Shell\Task\QueueTaskInterface"

# Apr 30th 2019, 15:25 this.impetus :+1:
# Apr 30th 2019, 15:24 ricksaccous @this.impetus i'd say don't overthink this and do whatever works for now
# Apr 30th 2019, 15:23 slackebot generated for form elements. obvs i can just `strtolower(Text::slug()), but is there a way cake wants to do this?
# Apr 30th 2019, 15:23 this.impetus Soo... it seems like cake, when generating a form field for a database object with a `name` field, uses the hyphenated, **lower case**, version of that field for generating html ids. I can't find a method in either of the Inflector or Text utilities that does precisely this (`Inflector::slug()` does it but is deprecated and `Text:slug()` ignores case. Trying to hook up a JS app here and need my views to generate strings to match the IDs
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:38 neothermic just 158 more to go
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:38 neothermic Well, that's one less use of set that I have to change
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:38 neon1024 Few path updates, few folder and file name changes
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:38 neon1024 Yeah, 4.0.0-alpha1 wasn’t all that different
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:37 dereuromark most is method signature and can be automated. not much left.
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:37 dereuromark nah, 2.x++ was panic. nowadays super simple.
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:37 neothermic Migrating from 3.x to 4.x: Panic!
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:37 dereuromark Or more importantly contribute to rector tool to have a full auto-upgrade map there for trivial things. Swarm efforts
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:36 dereuromark People should start adding notes for 4.x :slightly_smiling_face:
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:35 neothermic indeed!
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:35 admad @dereuromark is the patron saint of CakePHP upgrades
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:34 neothermic aha, https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-upgrade/wiki/Tips-Upgrading-to-CakePHP-2.x-3.x
# Apr 30th 2019, 14:33 neothermic hmm, I seem to remember there's a page somewhere with a cheat sheet on going from Set to Hash, but I can't find it
# Apr 30th 2019, 13:54 ricksaccous @voycey i just add more fields to the group by, heh
# Apr 30th 2019, 13:23 charolastra right, but running bin/cake CLI stuff doesn't seem to call that method
# Apr 30th 2019, 13:18 admad https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/plugins.html#loading-a-plugin
# Apr 30th 2019, 13:17 charolastra loading plugins has moved to Application::bootstrap(), right?
# Apr 30th 2019, 11:51 dereuromark -p PluginName, as usual (and how --help would display)
# Apr 30th 2019, 11:42 charolastra how to run migrations of plugins? cakephp-queue seems to have changed its DB definitions
# Apr 30th 2019, 11:34 conehead but thanks!
# Apr 30th 2019, 11:33 conehead @neon1024 well, using $entity->set seems to work as well. At least seems to be a better solution than setting it directly. Don't wanna convert objects to array data first so it gets converted back afterwards
# Apr 30th 2019, 10:45 neon1024 Patch entity will work with array data though, but it must be organised correctly
# Apr 30th 2019, 10:44 neon1024 Unless you’re going to save it
# Apr 30th 2019, 10:44 neon1024 Although worth noting in the above instance, you might want to set an array of Tag entities
