Cakephp contain inside another. It´s possible? - cakephp

I am trying to make a cotain inside another. it's possible?
$tareasp = $this->ProyectosCategoriasTareas
->find('all',
['contain' =>
['Tareas'=>
['contain'=>
['Photos']
]
]
])
->where(['proyecto_id' => $proyecto['id']]);
I tried it but not work

You don't need to use the contain key multiple times, you can just nest the names:
'contain' => [
'Tareas' => [
'Photos'
]
]
or use dot notation:
'contain' => [
'Tareas.Photos'
]

CakePHP pagination, how do I sort by the count of a contained model?

Using CakePHP 2.3, I'm retrieving data using a paginator. So, say my models are Countries having many Cities, and in my CountryController I have...
$this->Paginator->settings = [
'fields' => [
'id'
'country_name'
],
'contain' => [
'City' => [
'id'
'city_name',
'conditions' => [
'population >' => 1000000;
]
]
]
];
...which gets me a list of all counties with each row containing a list of any populous cities.
In the view I am obviously able to iterate foreach ($cities as $city) and echo $country['country_name'] etc. and also if I wish I can show a count of the contained cities by echoing count($country['City']).
Using the paginator I can sort the country results by passing back a field name in the query string, e.g. sort=country_name, but how can I get the results to sort by the count of the contained cities?
It is unfortunately not possible to sort by the count of the hasMany Table using the custom Cakephp Pagination. Your best bet is to use counterCache as described in the Docs.
You will need to have a field in country table, named as city_count. This field will be updated in the Country Table automatically by Cakephp whenever there is a save operation on city table.
Since you only want to count the cities with population > 100K. You can specify the condition in counterScope which will only update the column when condition is met.
This can be defined in your City Model as below:
class City extends AppModel {
public $belongsTo = array(
'Country' => array(
'counterCache' => true,
'counterScope' => array(
'City.population > ' => 1000000
)
)
);
}

Validation array

I have a tags in my project but tags is created by me and user can checked what he want. It works correctly but I have a problem with Validation. In my store function I have an array and I want to validate any single element. I wrote this validate rule:
$validator = Validator::make($request->tags, [
'id' => 'integer|max:15'
]);
It doesn't work. Why?
You may use this
[
'tags' => 'array',
'tags.*' => 'integer|max:15'
]

Two form groups, two tabs in last group

Here is my code:
$formMapper
->with('Order', [
'class' => 'col-md-6'
])
->add('customer')
->end()
->with('Activity', [
'class' => 'col-md-6'
])
->add('poNumber')
->end()->end()
->tab('Test')
How do I keep the two groups - but the second group needs two or more tabs?
EDIT | The above is adding two tabs "Default" and "Test" with "Default" showing the two groups...

CakePHP 3 hasMany update strange behaviour

I have JobsTable:
This is relation definition:
$this->hasMany( 'JobContracts', [
'foreignKey' => 'job_id'
] );
Saving code:
$entity = $this->patchEntity( $entity, $toSave, [
'fieldList' => ['notes],
'associated' => [
'JobContracts' => ['fieldList' => ['id', 'checked']]
]
] );
And now:
if I put this notes in fieldList then JobContracts are NOT saved properly.
If I remove fieldList, then I am able to save it properly.
Question is Why? I need to control base model fields also. Any suggestions?
Ive already checked: http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#avoiding-property-mass-assignment-attacks
You need to allow assigning the association property too, not only notes. If you don't, then the associated data is never going to be set on the resulting entity, and consequently is not going to be saved.
Check the docs that you've linked again, the tags example shows exactly that:
// Only allow changing the title and tags
// and the tag name is the only column that can be set
$entity = $this->patchEntity($entity, $data, [
'fieldList' => ['title', 'tags'],
'associated' => ['Tags' => ['fieldList' => ['name']]]
]);
$this->save($entity);
http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#avoiding-property-mass-assignment-attacks
So, add job_contracts to the field list, and you should be good.

cakephp 3 bootstrap-ui change prev/next text

I have FriendsofCake Bootstrap-ui plugin. I see in the source that it accepts text for the pagination prev and next labels.
I am not sure how to exactly set the config option though.
PaginatorHelper.php
if (isset($options['next'])) {
if ($options['next'] === true) {
$options['next'] = $this->config('labels.next');
}
$options['after'] = $this->next($options['next'], ['escape' => false]) . $options['after'];
}
I was trying this below in the bootstrap.php but no effect
Configure::write('friendsofcake.PaginatorHelper.labels.prev', 'previous');
But I see they are also set in the __construct
Answer
With the help from drmonkeyninja here is the exact code needed to configure the labels in the AppView.php
$this->loadHelper(
'Paginator',
[
'className' => 'BootstrapUI.Paginator',
'labels' => [
'prev' => 'previous',
'next' => 'next',
]
]
);
This appears to be badly documented, but to configure any of the settings for a helper you need to pass them as an array when you load it. So for example, if you are loading the Paginator helper inside your AppView you would pass prevlike this:-
$this->loadHelper(
'Paginator',
[
'className' => 'BootstrapUI.Paginator',
'prev' => 'previous'
]
);
