# Aug 30th 2019, 05:11 conehead And maybe you should not use TINYINT. If I am not wrong cake will always interpret tinyint as boolean
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:10 conehead Yes, once you got it correctly in the database with your int you can use the links I posted above
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:09 turkles yes but then when I want to display the value back in human readable
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:09 conehead Well you have to convert it somewhere. Imho it belongs where you get the data from the external api
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:09 turkles based on const array()
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:09 turkles and have a setter which converts text to int where it is not already int
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:08 turkles https://pastebin.com/rWQTcnuS - I use virtual field for retreiving a text value
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:08 turkles I think I have a solution, but it probably isn't the best
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:03 turkles that looks good for where I can write the forms etc, but I don't in this case
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:02 turkles I looked at that, but couldn't work out how to ensure when I save from the api data it converts from the text to an int
# Aug 30th 2019, 05:01 conehead @turkles If I understood you correctly, maybe have a look at this: https://www.dereuromark.de/2010/06/24/static-enums-or-semihardcoded-attributes/ https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-tools/blob/master/docs/Entity/Enum.md
# Aug 30th 2019, 04:50 turkles Hi all, I am grabbing data from external api - which gives me text 'status' values I want to convert to TINYINT before saving, but if I need to display show the original text. I was hoping I could do this in the entity, has anyone got examples of this? I seem to have ballsed it up so it tries to save the text, but does show text when retreiving the tinyint from db..
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:24 yamcomnet https://www.cnizz.com/yummy-demo does not seem to work
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:23 jimbo2150 Granted, if you are doing searches on DATE only from a DATETIME column, make sure you have appropriate indexes that cast to DATE as well so it is not constantly going through every entry :clock130:
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:23 cnizzardini i just noticed that too, i haven't really been maintaining my personal site
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:22 cnizzardini yeah
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:22 yamcomnet does it have time range search capabilities?
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:22 yamcomnet yummySearch looks very promising.
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:22 challgren @cnizzardini FYI https://www.cnizz.com/yummy-demo reports a SSL error and the redirect is all munged up
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:17 cnizzardini thanks Jim
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:17 cnizzardini MySQL too
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:16 jimbo2150 I just checked PostgreSQL and SQLServer documentation and they both seem to support CAST( x as DATE ) - should be pretty safe.
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:16 cnizzardini id have to use that func() type stuff perhaps
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:16 yamcomnet would be nice to use https://github.com/ypnos-web/cakephp-datatables just have no idea about be best approach for timerange search
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:15 ricksaccous i think the functions they provide are all agnostic i could be wrong though
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:15 cnizzardini is DATE() a SQL standard...?
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:15 cnizzardini so, i don't want to use a MySQL DATE cast, unless that is standard SQL...
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:14 cnizzardini Yes, but the plugin is designed to be db agnostic
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:14 ricksaccous yeah nvm lol
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:14 ricksaccous hmmm maybe not
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:14 ricksaccous might be able to do a datediff on a date
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:13 ricksaccous https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/query-builder.html#using-sql-functions
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:13 jimbo2150 If you do a cast on the value within the database (not the value you are searching for) it should work - it should cast the database datetime to 00:00:00.
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:13 cnizzardini Though your idea, is a tad more elegant than my plan b at least
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:12 cnizzardini https://github.com/cnizzardini/cakephp-yummy
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:12 cnizzardini Its to patch an issue in my plugin and that could be tricky :(
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:11 cnizzardini Thanks Jim, I am hoping to avoid a ranged search
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:11 ricksaccous you want exact match of date on day
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:11 ricksaccous lol
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:11 ricksaccous oh yeah i forgot about that
# Aug 29th 2019, 20:11 cnizzardini yes
