# Sep 12th 2019, 13:03 admad by "db table" i meant your actual database table where you can set column defaults
# Sep 12th 2019, 13:02 kailas where in the table? is there some callback on new entity?

# Sep 12th 2019, 12:57 alice For friends in Brisbane, would love to see you join our meet up group : )
# Sep 12th 2019, 12:56 alice Hello from Australia :flag-au:
# Sep 12th 2019, 12:23 felix.robaglia 1st option is enough for me, thanks again :slightly_smiling_face:
# Sep 12th 2019, 12:03 conehead I personally prefer the first option as you can cleary see how many levels deep you go. With the third option you can add more limitations
# Sep 12th 2019, 12:00 felix.robaglia I prefer the first one you mentioned, maybe the 2nd one is better for readability though ? :slightly_smiling_face:
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:58 conehead There are 2 other ways as well. `'Contracts.Users', 'Contracts.Sources'` Or `'contain' => ['Contracts' => function (Query $q) { return $q->contain(['Users]); }
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:56 felix.robaglia works perfectly, thanks @conehead.
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:53 conehead ``` $this->paginate = [ 'contain' => ['Contracts' => ['Users', 'Sources']] ]; ```
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:52 felix.robaglia i want to do something like this : ``` $this->paginate = [ 'contain' => ['Contracts' => contain('Users, 'Sources')] ]; ```
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:51 felix.robaglia But each of my contracts contain a User and a Source, how do I "nest" contains ?
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:50 felix.robaglia Hello, I have the following assocation in my index method: ```$this->paginate = [ 'contain' => ['Contracts'] ];```
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:49 valerij.bancer Hi, how to execute `SELECT DISTINCT ...` in 3.x without using `GROUP BY` that is generated by `distinct()` method?

# Sep 12th 2019, 11:21 conehead But this doesn't have to mean that the config is not overridden somewhere else (although it shouldn't). And it depends on the plugin if it has a db config
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:17 spriz before jumping into real life code
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:17 spriz I would go through this tutorial if I were you: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/cms/installation.html
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:16 spriz https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/database-basics.html is what you are looking for
# Sep 12th 2019, 11:16 spriz at least imo that is the most common usecase, however you can connect multiple if you want to
# 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
