If you have the entirety of what a template should show in an element (which needs to be an element because it's re-used in various places), then your template can just be one line, calling the element. |

elements are meant to be (re-)used inside (multiple) template files They don't have anything to do with controller logic |

@etibor that's not how elements are meant to be used |

I never worked with CakePHP 2 so I have no clue how the ORM was for that :P |

Then it's me |

Is it just me or the new ORM is pretty confusing? |

(for your eyes only) I switch to Cake 4 months ago, after using Cake 2 for like 7 years :face_with_hand_over_mouth: |

I'm slowly upgrading it for CakePHP 4.x |

And that's where good old OOP got ya covered :) |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:49 |
khalil |
That's basically why I wanted a way to have something I can access anywhere, instead of repeating the same logic in a component and a helper :P |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:48 |
khalil |
Hahahaha Always :) |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:48 |
me1367 |
also, keep your code DRY :P |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:47 |
me1367 |
It's just basic OOP, generally, unless you really screw up, it's fine to do so :P Just make sure you keep to the _general_ *structure* of CakePHP and you'll be fine. |

Very helpful! thanks again :)) |

Perfect man I was struggling with this and I had no idea about the utility class, and I always worry about doing something that is considered against CakePHP principles |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:45 |
me1367 |
Ah yes, I thought you wanted it the opposite way around (from USD to local currency, not local currency to USD). Got it. But yea, that's just in the `beforeSave` . You'd end up with something like this: ```public function beforeSave() { $converter = new CurrencyConverter(); $converted = $converter->convert($amount); }``` |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:43 |
khalil |
That's why I need access there :) |

Now in the view, I can have a simple helper that convert the product price (USD) to your currency (saved in cookie) - when the vendor wants to add a product, I convert the price they enter (in their current currency) to USD and save it in the db ( I should do that in a beforeSave hook on the model level) |
| # |

I use that, if not, I detect your ip from a local library, detect your location, and based on your location I know your currency, this only happens on first visit cause after that I save it in a cookie, |
| # |

khalil |
@me1367 I think you got me wrong, each product, needs a price to be saved in the db in the end, the base price in the db is USD, the exchange happen in the views, and when adding / editing products, meaning, the price in the db is $100, when you open the site, I detect if you're logged in, if yes, I get your currency (saved in the user profile) if you're not logged in, I check if you have a cookie "currency" saved, if yes, then |

There surely must be an easier way right? |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:38 |
khalil |
That's not how it's built, the exchange rates are in php file on the server that gets updated automatically every 24 hours, the exchange rates base currency is USD, so that part is pretty straight forward |

Ooh, `withAttribute()` late afternoon blindness 8) |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:30 |
neon1024 |
Or is another instance where I need to actually instantiate a bunch of stuff for the test? |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 16:29 |
neon1024 |
How do I set an attribute on a ServerRequest instance? From what I can see in the code it’s literally a class property, but my unit test is telling me it’s getting a NULL and expecting an instance of AuthorizationService |

I’ll try a middleware and see how I get on |

Attaching the behaviour using Model.initialize inside the Application.php works great, but again, I have no session there |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 14:02 |

Well, that sounds all very theoretical to me right now, not sure what depends on what and when and.... :upside_down_face: |

Then, post Authorize, four tables stopped being filtered, and you nailed it. They’re all part of the auth finder :) |
