i've seen a couple similar threads about this, but not my exact problem.
i'm trying to follow the guide here:
http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#converting-request-data-into-entities
and coming up short. *i'm not getting any errors* (except a date field that
constantly fails if it has a value, separate issue)...so i have no idea
what's happening to the data i submit, or why it isn't saved to the DB.
My raw response data logged to Cake Debug is:
Array (
[title] => '123 Main St'
[street] => '123 Main St'
[lot_no] => 1
[lat] =>
[lng] =>
[city] => 'Hometown'
[county] =>
[state] => 'MI'
[zip] => '49000'
[area] => 900
[bedrooms] => 2
[bathrooms] => 1
[price] => 525
[ready_date] =>
[listingsattrs] => Array (
[4] => Array (
[id] => 4
)
[1] => Array (
[id] => 1
[value] => 'Off-street'
)
)
[park_id] => 1
[house_condition_id] => 3
[house_style_id] => 2
[term_id] => 2
[info_body] => '<p>Live here. It's great!</p>'
)
i have tables *Listings*, *ItemAttrs*, and *ListingsAttrs*. In
*ListingsTable*, the relationship is defined as:
$this->addAssociations([
'belongsToMany' => [
'ItemAttrs' => [
'targetForeignKey' => 'attr_id',
'through' => 'ListingsAttrs',
'saveStrategy' => 'replace',
]
])'
*Some* attributes are required to have a value when assigned to a Listing
(or other parent object they can be assigned to with a similar
relationship). When a requires-value attribute is selected for the (in this
case) Listing, a text field is shown & marked as required. The value is
stored in the *ListingsAttrs* record with the Listing ID and ItemAttr ID.
When i submit the form, the correct attribute data is there. But it gets
lost when i generate the Entity:
$listing = $this->Listings->newEntity($this->request->data, [
'associated' => ['ListingsAttrs']
]);
Log of *$listing*:
{
"title": "123 Main St",
"street": "123 Main St",
"lot_no": "1",
"lat": null,
"lng": null,
"city": "Hometown",
"county": null,
"state": "MI",
"zip": "49000",
"area": 900,
"bedrooms": 2,
"bathrooms": 1,
"price": 525,
"ready_date": null,
"park_id": 1,
"house_condition_id": 3,
"house_style_id": 2,
"term_id": 2,
"info_body": "<p>Live here. It's great!<\/p>\r\n"
}
i've tried creating the Listings entity without 'associated' at all, as
'associated'
=> 'ListingsAttrs', and 'associated' => 'ItemAttrs'
i'm trying to understand this ORM, because it *looks* like it should be
very automated & easy to use. (By comparison, has anyone here used ZF1's
ORM? Yikes.) But i don't know what i'm doing wrong here. It *seems* like
i'm following the guide, but i'm obviously mixing something up.
