# Sep 9th 2019, 04:23 challgren https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#starting-a-form
# Sep 9th 2019, 04:00 challgren $this->form->create($entity, [id => myformid])
# Sep 9th 2019, 03:59 challgren Add id to your $options array when creating the form
# Sep 9th 2019, 03:53 Fastidius basically i am using Widow.onunload to set a not saved warning but when i hit the save button i want to set the value to null so it overrides the nag screen. I assume i need to put this in the controller as part of the submit action??
# Sep 9th 2019, 03:32 Fastidius $this->Form->create($job ...... how do i know what the form_id would be?
# Sep 8th 2019, 22:31 itmpls hmm?
# Sep 8th 2019, 22:31 itmpls @jimbo2150 I debugged and apparently it's the `SHOW FULL COLUMNS` on that table , but the connection is 'default'
# Sep 8th 2019, 20:34 itmpls but yeah lemme try to debug further (resuming)
# Sep 8th 2019, 20:33 itmpls @jimbo2150 if that were the case this query would work, though

# Sep 8th 2019, 09:41 COOurb won't*
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:41 COOurb and we won use it more than 2 times a day
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:41 COOurb I'm at vacation now and making this "software" to help me (and guys from other departments) to create different document packages
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:40 COOurb there are from 1 to 10 users
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:39 challgren Ok so what happens when 100 users request a zip, you have 1GB of memory used
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:39 COOurb It's for local usage, kinda filling documents with values
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:39 COOurb archives are small, up to 10MB.
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:39 challgren Think about scalability and using memory wisely
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:38 challgren And creating the file in memory will take up memory which you’ve said is a concern, and what happens when 10+ users request a zip file
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:37 COOurb thnx
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:36 challgren Example would be `$this->QueuedJobs->createJob('DeleteZip', ['filename' => $tmp_zip], ['notBefore' => strtotime('+1 hour')]);`
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:35 COOurb ye, but it's kinda sad
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:33 challgren Like I said, create the zip, create a queue task to clean up in a certain time and serve the zip file to the user. The queue will clean up the file at the specified time
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:33 COOurb it's ok
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:33 COOurb yeah, I know there is ZipArchive built-in class
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:32 COOurb well, ok, I'll try that queue task plugin
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:32 challgren CakePHP provides no classes for zipping files. So you would need some other class in PHP or a native class provided by PHP
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:32 COOurb I mean, I saw /tmp directory
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:32 challgren What do you mean?
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:32 COOurb does cakephgp has something like that?
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:31 challgren You could but on a shared server anyone could access that file and you depend on the system to clean up the files
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:30 COOurb what if I use tmp directory via "php://tmp"?
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:29 challgren You realize there is no Zip class in cakephp
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:28 COOurb No correct way? Wow, that's upset.
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:27 challgren For my app I first check for the existing zip if not create the zip, then create a queue task to clean up the zip in 1 hour and then send the file to user
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:26 challgren Ok well you may miss responses from other people, but AFIK theres no correct way. The best way would be to generate it and send the zip and then clean up the temp file
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:25 COOurb so I can't
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:25 COOurb slack eats much RAM
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:25 challgren Also if you join us on slack you can see responses that may come in after you log off irc
# Sep 8th 2019, 09:25 COOurb Is there any example of correct way to do it? I mean, sending file without storing it permanently?
