this also does not work: $this->Documents = ClassRegistry::init('Documents'); |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 18:45 |
khalil |
in a component you need to use `$this->getController()->Documents` like @greg138 mentioned |

components are meant to contain functions which are re-used in multiple controllers |
| # |
May 19th 2021, 18:44 |
etibor |
yes i am try to understand the component concept |
| # |
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 |

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 |

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) |

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. |

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. |

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 ? |

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

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