@paolo.bragagni Why don't you iterate `associations`, which already has the keys that denote the type of association? |

@japerlman There's still a component that you can use for retrieving user data: `$this->Authentication->getIdentity()->get('user_id');` This is preferred over accessing the possible storage like the session, as it keeps your code separate from the used authentication method. https://book.cakephp.org/authentication/2/en/authentication-component.html https://book.cakephp.org/authentication/2/en/migration-from-the-authcomponent.html |

if I look at just getRequest() it's there, just a matter of reading it properly, awesome, thanks for the help! |

odd, it's like I don't have a session? |

Call to a member function read() on null |

@japerlman try if you can get it via $this->getRequest()->getSession->read(); |

sorry that phrasing was awful, I just want to know how to read the user_id of the logged in user |

Can anyone please tell me what is the new authentication middleware version of the old auth component of, not finding it on google somehow ```$uid = $this->Auth->User('user_id');``` |

browser extensions are the devil |

What the hell...thought I was going crazy.... Any german here using the browser plugin: "binnen i be gone"? Absolutely NOT compatible with coding/debugging smaller things |

Well, one could always look into CRUD plugin :) As that is designed to do those things more dynamically. |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 09:15 |
conehead |
Let's say, it cannot guess dynamically. Probably it could but that would cause a pain in the ass everytime you want to change tiny things. It is something completely different to generate fields that are declared in a table/model than to load data from the database in the background. Additionally that would totally not fit into MVC pattern |

If u bake your Code yes, it will add the needed calls to Controller. It does not work magically :) |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:04 |
mehov |
Also, Cake does have `allControls()`, which is the same "guess" concept |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:02 |
mehov |
let me try your advice though. thank you! |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:02 |
mehov |
yep, manually is how I've been doing this all this time :D |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:02 |

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 |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:01 |
conehead |
manually |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:01 |

but you could try `echo $this->Form->control('author.id', ['options' => $authors]);` |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:00 |
conehead |
yes, it should look it up automatically then if everything is named correctly |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:00 |
conehead |
Cake cannot "guess" which data is all required for the form. Especially it does not know it yet in the controller. Controller passes the data to the form. |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 07:00 |
mehov |
Aha, and what should the corresponding Form control look like? Is it going to pick `$authors` up automatically? |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 06:58 |
conehead |
$this->set('authors', $this->Articles->Authors->find('list')); |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 06:57 |
mehov |
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? |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 06:55 |
conehead |
@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 |

got it. I'd to change 'notEmptyString' to 'allowEmptyString' |
