Plugin::path() is for plugins usually, see how IdeHelper detects paths here for the plugins available. |

probably something outside the general support scope. |

Yeah, sorry I was just meaning an example. In our system as new themes are created an old one is typically duplicated and some things change while most remain the same. I was hoping to have a dynamic way of calling the plugin specific constant without having to know the name of the Plugin itself. Someone messaged me and said App::path() might help to know the plugin dynamically, but I don't see how that would. Anyway, this is |

No, not with constants. They usually use ClassName::CONST_NAME syntax, which requires use statements. You could build a helper that does that though. Thats how I wrapped some things like Configure to be more easily accessible in the view (See Shim plugin). |

Ok, thanks. As far as accessing the class is there a way to initialize it into the view to make use easier? $this->ConstantClass->MARK ? |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:41 |
dereuromark |
this is quite a specific case. I guess you could create some ConstantInterface that defines those, if there are different groups I suggest naming the interfaces accordingly. |

Hello all! I’m our software we have a number of plugins our team has made for mainly new themes, etc. im looking to create some constants on the plugin level to share in the ctp files of the plugin who owns it. Where’s the best place to setup general plugin specific constants? Im doing away with a bunch of magic numbers, etc. this is in Cake 3.9. |

probably I'm done |

paolo.bragagni |
mmm didnt understand |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:15 |
dereuromark |
just remember all aliases you encountered, as they must be unique. |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:15 |
paolo.bragagni |
I could cycle in associations but I'd like to make one only cicle |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:14 |
paolo.bragagni |
how to know if the relation is BelongsToMany or HasMany in the cycle? |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:14 |
dereuromark |
@erwane on the other side. Why does it need special ones? invalid syntax ignore maybe, but otherwise: as long as the same Type class is reading it again it shouldn't be a big deal |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:13 |
paolo.bragagni |
and then it cyclea trough {% for alias, details in relations %} |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:13 |
paolo.bragagni |
there is {% set relations = associations.BelongsToMany|merge(associations.HasMany) %} |
| # |
Jul 13th 2021, 10:13 |
paolo.bragagni |
in view.twig |

Jul 13th 2021, 10:13 |

cant go ahead in my problem.. :S |

@erwane sounds like it, yeah |

sorry, looks like i've forgot to update setPrimaryKey() |

on a table with a composite key consiting of 3 fields a newEntity->save() updates an existent entity (where the 3rd key component is a boolean) instead of persisting the new one. not even doing something like $newScreening = $screening. what's going on? |

Hi. It's a good idea to PR the `Database\Type\JsonType::toDatabase()` to allows options for json_encode like ` ```JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE + JSON_INVALID_UTF8_IGNORE + JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES``` Maybe via static `JsonType::setJsonEncodeOptions(int value)` |

oh wow, the cookbook is build via the python library `cakephpsphinx` :cold_sweat: |

are you using cannoical links with your cakephp website? |

the company name is deprecated btw, so don't @ me for that |

```if ($this->request->is(['POST', 'PUT'])) { $data = $this->request->getData(); $data['account_id'] = $current_user->account_id; $data['company_name'] = $current_user->account->name; $data['token'] = Security::randomString();``` ... |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:57 |
tyler.adam.lazenby |
well this way works for now |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:56 |
kevin.pfeifer |
or jsut a Table method if its just for 1 table/entity type |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:56 |
kevin.pfeifer |
you could make a behavior which populates you empty entites with a given set of default data |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:55 |
kevin.pfeifer |
well the default `newEmptyEntity` method just creates a new entity object of whatever is given to it so no default data there |

there are times where automated jobs or events trigger stuff though :man-shrugging: |

or doing things |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:54 |
cnizzardini |
its not the worst thing, generally you only want a single source for creating things |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:53 |
kevin.pfeifer |
maybe some other MVC gurus can give you other insights of why this needs to be done this way |
| # |
Jul 12th 2021, 19:52 |
cnizzardini |
there is no way to call entity->isNew() or whatever from there to isolate it to new creations |

It would also be nice if the cakephp book would “remember” where I was when switching from 3 to 4 Like https://book.cakephp.org/3/en/orm/table-objects.html and then clicking on the 4.x link at the top right should lead me to https://book.cakephp.org/4/en/orm/table-objects.html |
