I started learning cakephp 3 now, it is in beta, so your tutorial is not complete yet.
I need to change the user password, but it caused a Flash error. Debugging the $ user variable just shows a "Required field", but all the fields in the table are NULL.
My code is:
$user = $this->Users->newEntity();
$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, ['password' => $this->request->data['new-password'], 'id' => 2]);
debug($user->errors());
if ($this->Users->save($user)) {
$this->Flash->success('Its Right');
} else {
$this->Flash->error('FAIL');
}
Debuggin $ user . This is a user table field.
[
'gym_id' => [
(int) 0 => 'This field is required'
],
'role_id' => [
(int) 0 => 'This field is required'
],
'name' => [
(int) 0 => 'This field is required'
],
'username' => [
(int) 0 => 'This field is required'
],
'stats' => [
(int) 0 => 'This field is required'
]
]
My UserModel
public function validationDefault(Validator $validator)
{
$validator
->add('id', 'valid', ['rule' => 'numeric'])
->allowEmpty('id', 'create')
->add('gym_id', 'valid', ['rule' => 'numeric'])
->requirePresence('gym_id', 'create')
->notEmpty('gym_id')
->add('role_id', 'valid', ['rule' => 'numeric'])
->requirePresence('role_id', 'create')
->notEmpty('role_id')
->requirePresence('name', 'create')
->notEmpty('name')
->requirePresence('username', 'create')
->notEmpty('username')
->requirePresence('password', 'create')
->notEmpty('password')
->add('stats', 'valid', ['rule' => 'numeric'])
->requirePresence('stats', 'create')
->notEmpty('stats');
return $validator;
}
SOLVED
According to the documentation, patchEntity was created for you to use an existing object, creating a new one, I would create a row in the database, then the solution was:
Just update the UsersController, use the entity with the identifier of the user you want to update
UsersController
$user_data = $this->Users
->find()
->where(['id' => 2])
->first();
$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user_data,
[
'password' => $this->request->data['new-password']
]);
if ($this->Users->save($user)) {
$this->Flash->success('Success, GG EASY');
} else {
$this->Flash->error('FAIL, SurrenderAt20');
}
thanks everyone ^^
