In that case not only is the blog tutorial wrong, but the manual is misleading as well.

In http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html patchEntity is not introduced until the section 'Merging Request Data Into Entities' at which point it has moved on from explaining how to save data to updating it.

that is necessary for ALL forms, so both add and edit ones of course.

Why has the first method (which is the correct one) got both 

$this->Articles->newEntity()

and

 $this->Articles->patchEntity()

when you are saving a new record?

I thought that newEntity was used when inserting new data, and patchEntity was for updating existing data? Is my understanding incorrect?

Hi,

A confusion comes on my mind regarding the adding something on CakePHP 3.0

As example given on below link's in the add function.

http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog/part-two.html#adding-articles

public function add()      {          $article = $this->Articles->newEntity(); // A blank newEnttity added stored in $article variable          if ($this->request->is('post')) {              $article = $this->Articles->patchEntity($article, $this->request->data); // A patchEntity added here & passed the request data here              if ($this->Articles->save($article)) {                  $this->Flash->success(__('Your article has been saved.'));                  return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);              }              $this->Flash->error(__('Unable to add your article.'));          }          $this->set('article', $article);      }

But i found a different things on below link

http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog-auth-example/auth.html#creating-all-user-related-code

public function add()      {          $user = $this->Users->newEntity($this->request->data); // request data passing through newEntity here          if ($this->request->is('post')) {              if ($this->Users->save($user)) {                  $this->Flash->success(__('The user has been saved.'

Re: CakePHP 2 v CakePHP 3 SQL

BUMP!

Thanks for the reply,

That being the case, I am pleasantly surprised that despite the documentation making a big play on how different the new ORM is, I can (if I choose) create my queries in much the same way.

The example I posted was a effectively a find 'all' (paginated using a limit clause). What about a find first, is this still as straightforward? Here is an example from the same controller, how would that translate please?

            $options = array(
                'conditions' => array(
                    'Rental.id' => $id,
                    ),
                    'contain' => array(
                        'Trailer' => array(
                            'fields' => array('id', 'number', 'make', 'year', 'license', 'vin', 'skirt')
                        ),
                        'Lessee' => array(
                            'fields' => array('id', 'account', 'name', 'address_1', 'address_2', 'city', 'state', 'zip_1', 'zip_2')
                        )
                    )
                );


            $this->request->data = $this->Rental->find('first', $options);

Here is a sample of some code I use in a Trailer rental application. This is a method from the Rental Controller.

Rental hasMany Trailers and hasMany Lessees

public function archived($id = null) {


        $options = array(
          'limit' => 10,
          'order' => 'Trailer.number ASC',
          'fields' => array('id', 'trailer_id', 'lessee_id', 'date_out', 'rented', 'agreement_number'),
          'conditions' => array(

                  'fields' => array('id', 'account', 'name'),
              )
          )
        );


        $this->paginate = $options;
        $this->set('rentals', $this->paginate());
 }

Turning off recursive, and using Containable provides a very flexible and readable method of building a query. Adding conditions, fields, associated models etc is a snip. Whoever produced this method of working should be fully credited.

My question is, how would something like this be created in CakePHP 3? There seem to be many many more pages to read and understand regarding the new ORM, and I'm really unsure how simple it will be to convert. Will I be able to achieve it in the a similar manner, and will it be as readable, and easy to edit?

Are there any examples in the new Manual (I can't find any), where the new ORM is used to bring all the new methods of working together in much the same way as the method above?

Thanks

Dave

Re: Error linking forum titles to individual posts.

Thanks. It works perfectly now. You guys are quite nice here, unlike the people on Stackoverflow that are fond of banning me for some days just because I incorrectly asked a question.  

On Sunday, 29 March 2015 20:49:57 UTC+1, Odedere Ayokunle wrote:

Greetings everyone here. I am combining one Andrew Perkin video tutorial (which explains cakephp in a step by step manner but quite stale) with the official cake forum example (more current but less explanatory) in learning cakePHP. The first thing I learnt how to do was to view all posts on the index page, which works very fine. Then I proceeded to using "id's" to view individual posts through the "view" action, this also works perfectly. My challenge started when I wanted to link titles on the index page to their individual forum posts. I do not seem to get the link class well. I tried Andrew Perkin's approach but I was showed errors. Then I updated his version to the official cake example style (adding helpers, exception for null id's, etc), but still I am being told that "

Fatal Error

Error: Cannot access empty property
File: C:\xampp\htdocs\cakephp\lib\Cake\View\View.php

Line: 867"         

The surprising thing about this error is that I have never edited the contents on the ../lib directory. So I do not know how to rectify it. I am only used to the ../app directory. 

Kindly find my code below and the associated file paths:

 MODEL 

cakephp/app/Model/Writeup.php

<?php

class Writeup extends AppModel {

var $name='Writeup';

}

?>

CONTROLLER

cakephp/app/Controller/WriteupsController.php

class WriteupsController extends AppController {

public $helpers = array('Html','Form');

public function index() {

$this->set('writeups',$this->Writeup->find('all'));

}

public function view($id = null) {

$this->set('writeup',$this->Writeup->findById($id));

}

public function hello_world() {

}

}

?>

VIEW

cakephp/app/Views/Writeups/index.ctp

<h2> View All Posts</h2>

<table>

   <tr>

        <th>Title</th>

        <th>Body</th>

   </tr>

<?php foreach ($writeups as $writeup): ?>

   <tr>

         <td><?php echo $this->$Html->link($writeup['Writeup']['title'],

 array('controller'=>'writeups', 'action'=>'view',$writeup['Writeup']['id']));?> </td>

         <td><?php echo $writeup['Writeup']['body'];?> </td>

   </tr>

<?php endforeach; ?>     

</table>

######################################################################

cakephp/app/Views/Writeups/view.ctp

<h2> <?php echo $writeup['Writeup']['title'];?></h2>

<p><?php echo $writeup['Writeup']['body'];?></p>

<p><small>Created on: <?php echo $writeup['Writeup']['created']; ?>

 Last modified on: <?php echo $writeup['Writeup']['modified']; ?></small></p>

#######################################

Once again, the error being provided by the debugger is that "Cannot access empty property" and the file path of the error is "C:\xampp\htdocs\cakephp\lib\Cake\View\View.php", a path that I have never edited. 

Thank you.
