# Sep 12th 2019, 11:16 spriz fhxfhx: Usually you would have just one datasource defined in `app.php`
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:08 fhxfhx ... also, do plugins have their own db config ?
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:08 fhxfhx in cake3.5, where do i see which is my connected db ?
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:55 jotpe ok, thank you :slightly_smiling_face:
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:55 spriz I use way more components that cells generally fwiw ÆD
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:55 admad fhxfhx: if you don't see composer.json is a cake 2 app (or cake 1), in that case check for lib/Cake/VERSION.txt
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:55 spriz if you also have a view file with some if or whatever, then I'd put it in a cell
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:54 spriz I tend to put stuff in components if it is controller-logic only
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:54 fhxfhx k tx
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:54 spriz fhxfhx composer.json or composer.lock would be a great place to start if it is with composer ÆD
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:54 jotpe So component or cell?
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:53 jotpe And I have a backend/frontend which use the same AppController, but the navigation is only for the fe
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:53 fhxfhx hi, I'm picking up on a project I had started with someone who's not available any more. I wanted to find out which cake version was used on the app, and under which path the cakePhp-framework files are located
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:53 admad then write a component :slightly_smiling_face:
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:52 jotpe I want to keep my AppController as clean as possible
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:52 spriz if it has controller-ish logic, a view cell sounds like a good place though Æ=
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:51 spriz and use the variable in an element/layout
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:51 spriz Or you can set this in the AppController in beforeFilter or beforeRender
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:50 jotpe ?
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:50 jotpe I have a navigation in my layout which is based on data set by a controller. I want to use this navigation on every page in my frontend, but I don't want to set the variable in every controller. Is a view cell a good place to implement this
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:30 ndm And use a persistent SMTP connection.
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:29 admad adjust your batch size depending on smtp server limits, but yeah using a dedicated service might be better as it would handle the throttling
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:22 davorminchorov It looks like I should use a relay email
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:17 davorminchorov I am not sure if the SMTP timeout limitations is specific to gmail smtp or it's a general spam prevention mechanism for all email sending providers, so I don't want to make it look like it's a spam system
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:15 davorminchorov The use case is the following, I have an excel file with data and I want to mass upload a bunch of users (max 500), and after the creation, I want to send email to that user to let him know that his account was created
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:13 davorminchorov yeah I am using a queue but it seems like after 100 emails sent as a loop, there's an SMTP timeout
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:12 admad a queue and cronjob?
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:10 davorminchorov Hi, how do you send a ton of emails without SMTP timeout? Do you delay them? Send one email with multiple addresses? Any ideas?
# Sep 12th 2019, 09:01 jotpe @narendravaghela ok, thank you :slightly_smiling_face:
# Sep 12th 2019, 08:59 javier.villanueva ok, i solved with hash::extract
# Sep 12th 2019, 08:41 javier.villanueva In a belongsToMany association (f.ex. articles/tags) can I get the article and their tags (but only a list of ids)?
# Sep 12th 2019, 08:29 narendravaghela Try not to expose internal IDs if it is a public content. Slug is sufficient for find.
# Sep 12th 2019, 08:20 jotpe Using the ID and Slug for the find in the controller
# Sep 12th 2019, 08:20 jotpe What's best practice for a blog/news system with urls and slugs? The Quickstart finds articles by Slugs: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/quickstart.html#create-the-view-action, which is good from a seo perspective. Is that sufficient or is it better to add a id to the url? F.e.:

# Sep 12th 2019, 07:07 spriz @admad I guess it's returning https://www.tomasvotruba.cz/blog/2017/09/04/how-apigen-survived-its-own-death/ ;P
# Sep 12th 2019, 05:50 kgb.acct.personal Thanks. I'll take a look at it :+1:
# Sep 12th 2019, 05:44 admad though the apigen project is now defunct and doesn't support newer php versions
# Sep 12th 2019, 05:44 admad you sure can
# Sep 12th 2019, 05:41 kgb.acct.personal Can I use it to generate API docs for my project?
