# May 19th 2021, 18:41 khalil You're using it in a component?
# May 19th 2021, 18:41 etibor i did the loadModel as normally in other Controller, but that not helped
# May 19th 2021, 18:35 greg138 Are you still in your component? If so, again, it would be `$this->getController()->Documents`
# May 19th 2021, 18:35 khalil @etibor you're using that in a controller it seems, you can load the model by doing this: `$this->loadModel("Documents");`
# May 19th 2021, 18:34 steinkel `$this->loadModel('Documents');`
# May 19th 2021, 18:30 etibor i see that the normal Model form like : $this->Documents can not be used insted i have to have like this: $documents_table = TableRegistry::getTableLocator()->get('Documents'); Is there an easier form? Now i have to rewrite all of my queries
# May 19th 2021, 18:23 etibor thank you @kevin.pfeifer you are awesome
# May 19th 2021, 18:16 kevin.pfeifer you are inside a component, not a controller
# May 19th 2021, 18:16 kevin.pfeifer use `$this->getController()->viewBuilder();`
# May 19th 2021, 18:13 etibor is anyone tell my why i can not acces viebuilder in my component: Call to undefined method App\Controller\Component\CommonFunctionsComponent::viewBuilder() i have the line : use Cake\View; So i dont have any idea
# May 19th 2021, 17:30 etibor thank you thats the best part of open source, working together and improve togather
# May 19th 2021, 17:26 kevin.pfeifer thats what the support channel is for ;)
# May 19th 2021, 17:20 etibor thank you all of your help, i may step one step forward in cake
# May 19th 2021, 17:15 greg138 PEBKAC. :)
# May 19th 2021, 17:15 etibor sorry, i was wrong, edit_document.ctp was actually empty so clearly shows empty the $this->element('edit_document');
# May 19th 2021, 17:14 khalil To test that just add a simple `<h1>Hello World</h1>` in your edit_document element
# May 19th 2021, 17:13 greg138 Is there any chance that `edit_document` is just not generating any output?
# May 19th 2021, 17:11 etibor thank you @kevin.pfeifer i tried like this: in controller: $this->viewBuilder()->setTemplate('edit_default'); in edit_default.ctp : echo $this->element('edit_document'); in Element : i have the edit_document.ctp but i got the layout and a blank page However its seems its looks for the edit_document.ctp(when renamed shows error)
# May 19th 2021, 17:07 kevin.pfeifer if you have "logic" which is decided in the controller but you need the outcome from that logic inside the template then just set some variables like ```$use_element1 = true; $use_element2 = false; $list_of_entities = $this->MyModel->find(); $this->set(compact('use_element1', 'use_element2', 'list_of_entities'));``` and you can access these variables in your template like ```pr($use_element1); pr($use_element2);``` etc.
# May 19th 2021, 17:05 greg138 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.
# May 19th 2021, 17:02 kevin.pfeifer elements are meant to be (re-)used inside (multiple) template files They don't have anything to do with controller logic
# May 19th 2021, 17:02 khalil @etibor that's not how elements are meant to be used
# May 19th 2021, 17:00 etibor it the first time that i tried to use an element Can i tell cake in controller to use an element insted of the template ?
# May 19th 2021, 16:57 etibor hello all
# May 19th 2021, 16:54 me1367 :P
# May 19th 2021, 16:54 khalil Life was much simpler back then hahahaha
# May 19th 2021, 16:54 me1367 I never worked with CakePHP 2 so I have no clue how the ORM was for that :P
# May 19th 2021, 16:54 khalil Then it's me
# May 19th 2021, 16:53 me1367 dunno
# May 19th 2021, 16:53 khalil Is it just me or the new ORM is pretty confusing?
# May 19th 2021, 16:52 me1367 never gotten the time to do so xD
# May 19th 2021, 16:52 me1367 My site is still not running CakePHP 4.x :P
# May 19th 2021, 16:52 khalil (for your eyes only) I switch to Cake 4 months ago, after using Cake 2 for like 7 years :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 me1367 I'm slowly upgrading it for CakePHP 4.x
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 me1367 x)
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 khalil PS: I'm checking admiral :)
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 khalil Yuppp
# May 19th 2021, 16:50 me1367 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
