Since Cake is *convention over configuration*, I actually thought it will "guess", because I did my job following the conventions and declaring the association, so it kind of makes sense for Cake to understand that I want a select box full of Authors and therefore populate them |

but you could try `echo $this->Form->control('author.id', ['options' => $authors]);` |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:00 |
conehead |
yes, it should look it up automatically then if everything is named correctly |

Cake cannot "guess" which data is all required for the form. Especially it does not know it yet in the controller. Controller passes the data to the form. |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:00 |
mehov |
Aha, and what should the corresponding Form control look like? Is it going to pick `$authors` up automatically? |
| # |

$this->set('authors', $this->Articles->Authors->find('list')); |

I guess I didn't. The CakeBook section I linked to says nothing about that, so I thought it'd load the necessary list 'automagically'. Did I get it wrong? If so, how do I add the required data in controller? |

@mehov Did you add the required data in the controller? |

input with the current `author_id` value. - I have also tried `$this->Form->allControls()`, but the select box it creates is empty Am I missing something obvious? Or do I still have to manually retrieve a list of all authors and pass it to the form control? I thought it was supposed to do that for me automatically? |

Hi everyone, I have configured Article belongsTo Author. I confirmed it works by calling `$this->Article->get()` with a contain for the Author. I'm looking for an easy way to populate a select box with available authors inside the Article form. - Following https://book.cakephp.org/3/en/views/helpers/form.html#creating-inputs-for-associated-data, I have tried `echo $this->Form->control('author.id');`, but that creates a hidden |

nitish you should check your database. cake usually creates the validation based on the database. If I remember correctly, "notEmptString" is only added, if the field may not be null. In this case it should be not that much of a problem, but something you should check in general |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 05:01 |
nitish |
got it. I'd to change 'notEmptyString' to 'allowEmptyString' |

I am not aware that default twig allows xdebug breakpoints. You would have to create a custom twig function (something like `{{ breakpoint() }}` ) which then will call a function wich contains a `xdebug_break()` |

have you tried xdebug? |

IDK if I did this very well since its for a rudimentary demo, but poke around this: https://github.com/mixerapi/demo/blob/main/app/plugins/AdminApi/src/Plugin.php |

how does {{ dump() }} works? |
| # |

so e.g. your default apache vhost points to `/var/www/html` but it should be `/var/www/html/appname/webroot` |
| # |

What you are looking for are called "virtual hosts" (short vhost) and is a feature your webserver should support (not cakephp) For apache 2.4 see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html For nginx see https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-nginx-server-blocks-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-16-04 |

for me the easiest was to use `{{ dump() }}` sure you only see the debug output in the generated php file but getting xdebug to work in twig is a bit more complicated |

for me entities are ORM (and table) related. sounds more like generic DTOs what you are looking for, see the plugin for it maybe (or create/generate custom hardcoded ones). |
| # |
Jul 8th 2021, 14:52 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
On a related question... is it a good idea to create entities that aren't supported by a table? What I mean is for example a call using a specific format for an API call. |

If you don't need automatic identifier quoting or expression parsing capability, pass the SQL snippet as a single string value: `'(IFNULL(previous_price, price) / price) DESC'`. `orderDesc()` accepts raw SQL too: ```$this->Product ->find() ->orderDesc('IFNULL(previous_price, price) / price')``` |
