# Jul 20th 2021, 12:11 ndm You just need to change the field name.
# Jul 20th 2021, 12:10 paolo.bragagni hum
# Jul 20th 2021, 12:10 ndm what... no! That array format was just to illustrate what the data will look like in the request.
# Jul 20th 2021, 12:08 paolo.bragagni so in this way? $this->Form->hidden('books',['value' => ['categories' => [['id' => 'value']]]])
# Jul 20th 2021, 12:05 paolo.bragagni I check it all
# Jul 20th 2021, 12:04 paolo.bragagni yes
# Jul 20th 2021, 12:04 slackebot2 more categories.
# Jul 20th 2021, 12:04 ndm So it's actually `hasMany`, not `belongsToMany`? And you create a new books record, meaning there is no existing associated data that would need to be modified, and only this one hidden category should be added? Then the field name format would be `categories.0.id` (which translates to `['categories' => [['id' => 'value']]`). But you might get into trouble if there possibly also is a visible control where users can choose one or
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:59 paolo.bragagni (in my old cake2 project echo "\t\t\t echo \$this->Form->hidden('{$assocName}', array('hiddenField' => true, 'value'=> \$f_id));\n"; worked...)
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:58 paolo.bragagni everything is working but the add, because when I add a book from that view it has to select category=2 (in hidden field)
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:57 paolo.bragagni I've done a bake template that build that in the 'view' view
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:56 paolo.bragagni books (libri) habtm categories
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:56 paolo.bragagni
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:55 paolo.bragagni my goal is this (call me crazy)
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:54 paolo.bragagni I have the value already in the view
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:53 dereuromark Right before saving :)
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:51 paolo.bragagni :S
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:41 dereuromark Most of hidden fields could Actually be added directly in Controller. Removes usually some of the tempering and complexitity vectors
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:37 paolo.bragagni in Books 'add1' view I'd like to save one specific category
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:36 paolo.bragagni Books has many Categories
# Jul 20th 2021, 11:20 ndm The `_ids` key is not ment to hold a flat value, but an array of values. You probably need to be a bit more specific as to where exactly in your associated data you want to store something, and what that something actually looks like (data structure wise).
# Jul 20th 2021, 10:54 paolo.bragagni I mean I'd like to save a specific value with an hidden field
# Jul 20th 2021, 10:25 paolo.bragagni I'd like to save $return['returncontrollerid']
# Jul 20th 2021, 10:24 paolo.bragagni echo $this->Form->hidden('{{ assocData.property }}._ids', ['value' => $return['returncontrollerid']]);
# Jul 20th 2021, 10:24 paolo.bragagni hi how to save specific value in form BelongsToMany?
# Jul 20th 2021, 10:08 dereuromark here it is twice as important to check that all incoming values are properly sanitized though. and there is no room for "injection" of any kind of data.
# Jul 20th 2021, 09:58 dereuromark if it is just about simple boolean toggles, I usually also just use updateAll() as atomic operation. Simpler if you don't need validation or alike on top.
# Jul 20th 2021, 09:53 erwane $article->set($fieldName, $value)
# Jul 20th 2021, 09:48 kupe3b thanks. which function can i call instead of `$article->published=1` for example (in case i pass the field name as an argument)?
# Jul 20th 2021, 09:45 dereuromark field name can just be the argument, yes
# Jul 20th 2021, 09:44 dereuromark that methods looks easily breakable, as publish can now also unpublish..
# Jul 20th 2021, 09:32 kupe3b hi, I have a very simple method to switch a yes/no field: ``` public function publish($id) { $article = $this->Articles->get($id); $article->published=!$article->published; $this->Articles->save($article) }``` but how can i change it to accept the field name as an argument? `public function publish($id, $fieldName='published')` to be able to change state of the other yes/no fields from `articles` table?
# Jul 20th 2021, 08:14 ndm What I ment was... don't use WSL, try a dedicated virtual machine.
# Jul 20th 2021, 08:09 brandon I can't seem to find any error logs or anything so I am not sure where it is even getting stuck to try to remedy it.
# Jul 20th 2021, 08:00 paolo.bragagni yes. it works rerunning bin/cake bootstrap install
# Jul 20th 2021, 07:58 brandon Is there a way to make the changes without rector?
# Jul 20th 2021, 07:55 rudy1976s @greg138 I have a fixture with a json field which contains some values: when I run the test on that table, the json field is not properly read
# Jul 20th 2021, 07:48 paolo.bragagni (trying..)
# Jul 20th 2021, 07:35 paolo.bragagni I have to rerun bin/cake bootstrap install ?
# Jul 20th 2021, 07:30 ndm @brandon tag
