# Dec 18th 2019, 11:26 neon1024 This was another reason why I asked about previous PHP experience. Most people would see that `$trainer.full_name` this isn’t valid PHP
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:26 gianmarxgagliardi I followed this guide https://book.cakephp.org/3/en/orm/entities.html#creating-virtual-fields.
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:25 dereuromark you need to use valid PHP here. What is the value of $trainer? wrap it in " or alike.
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:23 gianmarxgagliardi > if I put `$trainer->full_name` return > `*Notice* (8): Undefined variable: trainer [*APP/Controller\SeasonTrainersController.php*, line *62*]` > `*Notice* (8): Trying to get property 'full_name' of non-object [*APP/Controller\SeasonTrainersController.php*, line *62*]`
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:19 dereuromark $trainer.full_name is not valid PHP
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:17 gianmarxgagliardi @dereuromark I'm confused ? what do you mean ?
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:16 gianmarxgagliardi `$trainersUnmated=$this->SeasonTrainers->Trainers->find('list',['keyField' => 'id', 'valueField' =>$trainer.full_name])->notMatching('SeasonTrainers');`
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:16 gianmarxgagliardi in model `protected function _getFullName()`     `{`         `return $this->cognome . '  ' . $this->nome;`     `}`
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:15 dereuromark avoid using custom constants :)
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:14 gianmarxgagliardi it works but it gives me some warnings ```Warning (2): Use of undefined constant full_name - assumed 'full_name' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) [APP/Controller\SeasonTrainersController.php, line 62]```
# Dec 18th 2019, 11:09 gianmarxgagliardi it's works thanks
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:54 challgren Virtual fields would be your friend
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:54 challgren @gianmarxgagliardi https://book.cakephp.org/3/en/orm/entities.html#creating-virtual-fields
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:53 gianmarxgagliardi in this way it returns the fields "name" and "surname" divided by a semicolon to avoid this I have to write a separate function or there is another way `$trainersUnmated=$this->SeasonTrainers->Trainers->find('list',['keyField' => 'id','valueField' =>['name','surname']])->notMatching('SeasonTrainers');` the result I get is e.g. `John; Milton` but I would like `John Milton`
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:45 javier.villanueva thanks!
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:43 challgren ```$query = $articles->find()->contain('Comments', function (Query $q) { return $q->find('approved')->find('popular'); });```
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:41 javier.villanueva I have a custom finder in a table "Tasks" , Tasks belongsTo Users. If I find $this->Users->find()->contain(['Tasks']); Can I apply my custom finder ?
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:37 rochasmarcelo remove composer.lock and update composer.json
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:33 SvenBuis Yes, I will if I find any :) . To bad some of the 3rd party plugins I used are no longer maintained. Some I already had to fork to make them 3.8 compatible. If I find the time I will probably write my own plugin for those
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:32 challgren And if the plugin doesn’t support cake 4.x help the community out and do a PR for 4.x support. Most 3.8 code should support 4.x without an issue
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:31 SvenBuis So it might be possible to update cake and the plugin at once, that would be the easiest way hehe
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:31 SvenBuis Okay. I will give that a go
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:31 neon1024 ..and `composer outdated -D`
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:30 neon1024 Also try `composer why` and `composer why-not`
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:30 neon1024 I’d probably hunt the plugins on Packagist.org to see which version constraints are, and updated my `composer.json` file with the new versions and then try updating
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:30 jotpe Yes
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:30 SvenBuis So, basically remove plugins, update Cake, install (newer versions) of the plugins
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:29 jotpe I would try to remove the plugins first and upgrade the core app. Then update the plugins one after the other
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:28 challgren You might need to specify dev-4.x for the plugin version
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:28 SvenBuis Yes, but in this case the plugin has a 4.x branche. But updating to that branche gives the error that I have Cake 3.x installed, updating to Cake 4 gives the error that the plugin requires 3.x
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:27 pieceof and here ima stuck
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:27 challgren Over time most will update or die off
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:27 challgren @svenbuis it really depends on the plugins, I know a lot dont have 4.x support just yet
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:26 pieceof in my case they were lookin for someone with cakephp but i had only a bit of symfony got hired by luck i guess, there were a senior developing a crm with cake they tested several frameworks found cake to be out of the box more secure than the rest in that time
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:26 SvenBuis This seems to me like a ‘chicken-egg’ problem. So I would like your advise, what is the best way to solve this.
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:26 SvenBuis Hello, I have a question about how to upgrade to CakePHP 4. I have some plugins that require CakePHP 3.x at this moment (but versions for CakePHP 4 are available). But when I try to update to CakePHP 4, I get the message that this is not allowed by the plugin. When trying to update the plugin first I get the message that is requires CakePHP 4.x.
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:24 neon1024 As I think it’s important to help CakePHP compete with other frameworks
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:24 neon1024 I am always curious what brings people to the framework and how newcomers find the first contact experience with the framework
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:24 gianmarxgagliardi @neon1024 why all these questions?
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:23 javier.villanueva phpstorm the best
# Dec 18th 2019, 10:23 jotpe vim for the win :troll:
