Controller doesn't get hasOne relationship data - Cakephp - cakephp

I have a problem with related tables in CakePHP. I can't get the related table data include in the form.
I have two Entities. One of them is "Users" and the other one is "Subjects". Every User has a subject. Table "Subject" has foreign key idUser from Users table.
I added in UsersTable:
$this->hasOne('Subjects');
And I added in SubjectsTable:
$this->belongsTo('Users', [
'foreignKey' => 'idUser',
'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);
In the view (signup), I have this:
<div class="form-group">
<?php echo $this->Form->control('Subject.name',['label' => 'Asignatura','placeholder' => 'Ingrese asignatura','class' => 'form-control']) ?>
</div>
In the controller, I have this:
$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $this->request->getData(),['associated' => 'Subjects']);
When I debug $user, I am getting this result:
\src\Controller\UsersController.php (line 113)
object(App\Model\Entity\User) {
'id' => '11111111',
'name' => 'Leo',
'firstlastname' => 'Messi',
'secondlastname' => 'Cuccittini',
'email' => 'leo.messi#gmail.com',
'password' => '$2y$10$E02nd/w89BDvgCyz36bQdeBbujOLrSdON1e6CD25aDYCP2VeLkNNm',
'role' => '2',
'[new]' => true,
'[accessible]' => [
'id' => true,
'name' => true,
'firstlastname' => true,
'secondlastname' => true,
'email' => true,
'password' => true,
'role' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'id' => true,
'name' => true,
'firstlastname' => true,
'secondlastname' => true,
'email' => true,
'password' => true,
'role' => true
],
'[original]' => [],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[hasErrors]' => false,
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Users'
}
So, I am not getting in the controller the data from Subject.
Any help, please.

Model
$this->hasOne('Subjects', [
'foreignKey' => 'userId'
]);
Controller:
$user = $this->User->get($id, ['contain' => ['Subjects']);
Entity/User.php
protected $_accessible = [
'subjects' => true
// ...
];
Form
https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#associated-form-inputs
Change: Subject.name to user.subject.name
<?php echo $this->Form->control('user.subject.name',['label' => 'Asignatura','placeholder' => 'Ingrese asignatura','class' => 'form-control']) ?>

How to create a self BelongsToMany relation in CakePHP 3

I have a database with a table "projekte" (german word for projects).
Some of the projects have a relation to eachother.
So i would like to have a BTM relation.
I created a joinTable "projektverbindungen" with the following fields:
projekt_id
nebenprojekt_id
I found a similar question here: BelongstoMany relationship between a table and itself and i tried the answer of ndm, but without success.
Here is my ProjekteTable.php
class ProjekteTable extends Table {
public function initialize(array $config)
{
parent::initialize($config);
$this->setTable('projekte');
$this->setDisplayField('name');
$this->setPrimaryKey('id');
$this->hasOne('Projekteigenschaften', [
'foreignKey' => 'projekt_id',
'dependent' => true,
]);
$this->belongsToMany('Projekte', [
'foreignKey' => 'projekt_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'nebenprojekt_id',
'joinTable' => 'projektverbindungen',
]);
}
}
Here ist my template (add.ctp)
<?php
echo $this->Form->create($projekt);
echo $this->Form->control('name', ['class' => 'form-control']);
echo $this->Form->control('projekteigenschaft.projektverantwortlich');
echo $this->Form->control('projekteigenschaft.beschreibung');
echo $this->Form->control('projekte._ids', ['options' => $projekte, 'multiple' => true]);
echo $this->Form->button(__('Submit'));
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
The first step, saving a project with a related project works as expected.
The id of the created project was saved as projektverbindungen.projekt_id and the id of the related project as projektverbindungen.nebenprojekt_id.
When i query a projekt without the relation to other projects like so:
$projekt = $this->Projekte->get($id, [
'contain' => ['Projekteigenschaften']
]);
the query looks like this:
SELECT Projekte.id AS `Projekte__id`, Projekte.name AS `Projekte__name`, Projekteigenschaften.id AS `Projekteigenschaften__id`, Projekteigenschaften.projektverantwortlich AS `Projekteigenschaften__projektverantwortlich`, Projekteigenschaften.beschreibung AS `Projekteigenschaften__beschreibung`, Projekteigenschaften.projekt_id AS `Projekteigenschaften__projekt_id` FROM projekte Projekte LEFT JOIN projekteigenschaften Projekteigenschaften ON Projekte.id = (Projekteigenschaften.projekt_id) WHERE (Projekte.id = :c0 AND (Projekte.deleted) IS NULL)
And the debug of the result looks like:
"id": "6862279f-8134-401f-86ff-9278a3bfa5c3",
"name": "My Project",
"projekteigenschaft": {
"id": "89d9e241-e700-4c31-9266-ee5717f2a0aa",
"projektverantwortlich": "Blisginnis, Ralf",
"beschreibung": ""
}
Everything works fine.
But when i add the projects to contain like so:
$projekt = $this->Projekte->get($id, [
'contain' => ['Projekteigenschaften', 'Projekte']
]);
The query looks the same like above, but the entity looks a bit different:
"Projekteigenschaften": {
"id": "89d9e241-e700-4c31-9266-ee5717f2a0aa",
"projektverantwortlich": "Blisginnis, Ralf",
"beschreibung": ""
}
Projekteigenschaften seems no longer to be a hasOne relation and "Projekte" gets totally ignored.
Anyone has an idea what i did wrong? Or should i prefer an other way of doing this?
edit after ndm´s comment
I tried defining the relationship like so:
$this->belongsToMany('Projektverbindungen', [
'class' => 'Projekte',
'foreignKey' => 'projekt_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'nebenprojekt_id',
'joinTable' => 'projektverbindungen',
]);
and changed the add.ctp template like so:
echo $this->Form->control('projektverbindungen._ids', ['options' => $projekte, 'multiple' => true]);
But then it doesn´t save the relation.
I also tried to rename the joinTable to projekte_projekte. It didn´t seem to make any difference.
Then I tried to use the through-option, but the results of that were even worse.
So I continued trying to find a solution with the method described above.

3rd edit
In my bootstrap.php i have this:
Inflector::rules('plural', [
'/^(projekt)$/i' => '\1e',
'/^(projekteigenschaft|projektverbindung)$/i' => '\1en',
]);
Inflector::rules('singular', [
'/^(projekt)e$/i' => '\1',
'/^(projekteigenschaft|projektverbindung)en$/i' => '\1',
]);
After your recommendation I additionally added propertyName to the definition of the association:
$this->belongsToMany('Projektverbindungen', [
'class' => 'Projekte',
'propertyName' => 'Projektverbindungen',
'foreignKey' => 'projekt_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'nebenprojekt_id',
'joinTable' => 'projektverbindungen',
]);
After that, the patched entity looks like this:
object(App\Model\Entity\Projekt) {
'name' => 'My Project',
'projekteigenschaft' => object(App\Model\Entity\Projekteigenschaft) {
'projektverantwortlich' => 'John Doe',
'beschreibung' => '',
'[new]' => true,
'[accessible]' => [
'projektverantwortlich' => true,
'beschreibung' => true,
'projekt_id' => true,
'projekt' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'projektverantwortlich' => true,
'beschreibung' => true
],
'[original]' => [],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[hasErrors]' => false,
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Projekteigenschaften'
},
'projektverbindungen' => [
'_ids' => [
(int) 0 => '1e28a3d1-c914-44be-b821-0e87d69cd95f'
]
],
'[new]' => true,
'[accessible]' => [
'name' => true,
'projekteigenschaft' => true,
'projekte' => true,
'projektverbindungen' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'name' => true,
'projekteigenschaft' => true,
'projektverbindungen' => true
],
'[original]' => [],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[hasErrors]' => false,
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Projekte'
}
But still no new entry in the table "projektverbindungen"
The last suggestion of ndm made the trick.
Now it works like expected. Thank you very much!
Here is the correct setup:
ProjekteTable.php
$this->belongsToMany('Nebenprojekte', [
'className' => 'Projekte',
'foreignKey' => 'projekt_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'nebenprojekt_id',
'joinTable' => 'projektverbindungen',
]);
Here I used the property class instead of className, that has been the biggest issue.
Thats really embarrassing, because in the Cookbook is the correct name of that property:
https://book.cakephp.org/3/en/orm/associations.html#belongstomany-associations
Nevertheless, perhaps anyone else makes the same mistake and this thread can help.
The second thing is not to use the jointable`s name as the name of the association.
The rest is just straight forward...
Making the association accessible in the Entity Class (Projekt.php):
protected $_accessible = [
'name' => true,
'projekteigenschaft' => true,
'nebenprojekte' => true,
];
ProjekteController.php ("add" and "edit"):
public function add()
{
$projekt = $this->Projekte->newEntity();
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$projekt = $this->Projekte->patchEntity($projekt, $this->request->getData());
if ($this->Projekte->save($projekt)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('flash message'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
}
$this->Flash->error(__('error message'));
}
$projekte = $this->Projekte->find('list');
$this->set(compact('projekt', 'projekte'));
}
public function edit($id = null)
{
$projekt = $this->Projekte->get($id, [
'contain' => ['Projekteigenschaften', 'Nebenprojekte']
]);
if ($this->request->is(['patch', 'post', 'put'])) {
$projekt = $this->Projekte->patchEntity($projekt, $this->request->getData());
if ($this->Projekte->save($projekt)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('flash message'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
}
$this->Flash->error(__('error message'));
}
$projekte = $this->Projekte->find('list')->where(['id !=' => $id]);
$this->set(compact('projekt', 'projekte'));
}
In the templates like add.ctp or edit.ctp:
echo $this->Form->control('nebenprojekte._ids', ['options' => $projekte, 'multiple' => true]);
If you use another language than english, don´t forget to set the correct inflection rules.
bootstrap.php:
Inflector::rules('plural', [
'/^(projekt|nebenprojekt)$/i' => '\1e',
'/^(projekteigenschaft)$/i' => '\1en',
]);
Inflector::rules('singular', [
'/^(projekt|nebenprojekt)e$/i' => '\1',
'/^(projekteigenschaft)en$/i' => '\1',
]);

Cakephp 4 : How to save hasone data

I have two database table 1) users 2) profiles
profiles has a field called bank_ac
I am trying to save it from user model.
I have created form input like
<?= $this->Form->create($user) ?>
<?= $this->Form->control('profile.bank_ac'); ?>
<?= $this->Form->end() ?>
User model I have added associative like
$this->hasOne('Profiles');
After debug getting data like
[
'name' => 'Jone',
'email' => 'abcd#yahoo.com',
'profile' => [
'bank_ac' => '1212212'
]
]
after debug patch entity
object(App\Model\Entity\User) {
'name' => 'Jone',
'email' => 'abcd#yahoo.com',
'[new]' => true,
'[accessible]' => [
'name' => true,
'email' => true,
'created' => true,
'modified' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'name' => true,
'email' => true,
'profile' => true
],
'[original]' => [],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[hasErrors]' => false,
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Users'
}
In UsersController/add I have applied code like
public function add(){
$user = $this->Users->newEmptyEntity();
$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $this->request->getData());
$this->Users->save($user, ['associated' => ['Profiles']]);
}
Profile data not saving , also not getting any error. How can I save this associative data ?
Looking at your entity debug result, the profile field is missing from the accessibility config, hence disallowing its use in mass assignment (patching).
Add it to your User::$_accessible property, and it should work:
protected $_accessible = [
// ...
'profile' => true,
];

saving model with deep association belonging to both higher models

I have three tables, Articles, Comments, and Tags.
Tags belong to both Articles and Comments.
$this->Articles->patchEntity($entity, $this->request->getData(), [
'associated' => ['Comments.Tags']
]);
with the following error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'article_id' doesn't have a default value
Please try correcting the issue for the following table aliases:
CommentsArticles
but if I save with only 'associated' => ['Comments'] it works saving the Article and Comments with join table associations, just doesn't save any Tags.
Articles table has these associations:
$this->hasMany('Tags', [
'foreignKey' => 'article_id'
]);
$this->belongsToMany('Comments', [
'foreignKey' => 'article_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'comment_id',
'joinTable' => 'comments_articles'
]);
Comments table has these associations:
$this->hasMany('Tags', [
'foreignKey' => 'comment_id'
]);
$this->belongsToMany('Articles', [
'foreignKey' => 'comment_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'article_id',
'joinTable' => 'comments_articles'
]);
and Tags table has these associations:
$this->belongsTo('Comments', [
'foreignKey' => 'comment_id',
'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);
$this->belongsTo('Articles', [
'foreignKey' => 'article_id',
'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);
This is the entity after patching looks like this.
object(App\Model\Entity\Article) {
'title' => 'example article name',
'users' => [
'_ids' => []
],
'comments' => [
(int) 0 => object(App\Model\Entity\Comment) {
'id' => (int) 1,
'content' => 'this is a comment',
'tags' => [
(int) 0 => object(App\Model\Entity\Tag) {
'name' => 'example tag name',
'[new]' => true,
'[accessible]' => [
'comment_id' => true,
'article_id' => true,
'comment' => true,
'article' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'name' => true
],
'[original]' => [],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[hasErrors]' => false,
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Tags'
}
],
'[new]' => false,
'[accessible]' => [
'content' => true,
'tags' => true,
'articles' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'tags' => true
],
'[original]' => [
'tags' => [
(int) 0 => [
'name' => '0'
]
]
],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[hasErrors]' => false,
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Comments'
}
],
'[new]' => true,
'[accessible]' => [
'title' => true,
'tags' => true,
'comments' => true,
'users' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'title' => true,
'users' => true,
'comments' => true
],
'[original]' => [
'users' => []
],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[hasErrors]' => false,
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Articles'
}
CaekPHP doesn't support that, it can only populate foreign keys of direct associations / in one direction. You could for example:
prepopulate the foreign key fields (which will of course only work when the article and/or comment already exists)
manually save the tags separately using the primary keys of the article and comment records
create association classes that pass the article primary key into the options when saving the article, and uses that to populate the article_id field when saving the tag
hook into the saving process on table level to pass on the article primary key and populate the tags with it
Here's a quick and dirty example for the latter solution, which should also give you an idea on how it could work on association level:
In ArticlesTable:
public function beforeSave(
\Cake\Event\Event $event,
\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity,
\ArrayObject $options
) {
if (isset($options['Articles.id'])) {
unset($options['Articles.id']);
}
}
protected function _onSaveSuccess($entity, $options)
{
if ($options['_primary']) {
$options['Articles.id'] = $entity->get('id');
}
return parent::_onSaveSuccess($entity, $options);
}
In TagsTable:
public function beforeSave(
\Cake\Event\Event $event,
\Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity,
\ArrayObject $options
) {
if (!$options['_primary'] &&
isset($options['Articles.id'])
) {
$entity->set('article_id', $options['Articles.id']);
}
}

BelongsToMany associated record won't save in join table

I have 2 tables "Descriptions" and "Phases", associated BelongsToMany using a join Table "DescriptionsPhases", as per Cakephp naming conventions. I've been struggling with this for the best part of a day now: I just cannot get the controller to save the id's of description and phase into my join table, which is basically just 3 columns, id / description_id / phase_id. Possibly more may follow for metadata.
Here is my code structure:
In Descriptions Table:
$this->belongsToMany('Phases', [
'foreignKey' => 'description_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'phase_id',
'through' => 'DescriptionsPhases',
'saveStrategy' => 'append'
]);
In Phases Table:
$this->belongsToMany('Descriptions', [
'foreignKey' => 'phase_id',
'targetForeignKey' => 'description_id',
'through' => 'DescriptionsPhases'
]);
In DescriptionsPhases Table:
$this->belongsTo('Descriptions', [
'foreignKey' => 'description_id',
'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);
$this->belongsTo('Phases', [
'foreignKey' => 'phases_id',
'joinType' => 'INNER'
]);
In Entities of all 3 of the above (for now):
protected $_accessible = [
'*' => true
];
In Descriptions Controller, add() method. The id for $descriptions->phases is hardcoded for now, just to reduce complexity:
public function add() {
$description = $this->Descriptions->newEntity([
'associated' => ['Phases']]);
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
// additional data to be saved in new description
$description->user_id = $this->Auth->user('id');
$description->designvariant = 666;
// Hardcoded integer TO BE SAVED in associated model (via join table)
$description->phases = [['id' => 5]];
$patch = $this->Descriptions->patchEntity($description, $this->request->getData(), [
'associated' => ['Phases']]);
debug($patch);
$save = $this->Descriptions->save($patch);
debug($save);
if ($save) {
$this->Flash->success(__('The description has been saved.'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
}
$this->Flash->error(__('The description could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
}
// pass arrays for dropdown menus
$this->set('trades', ($this->Descriptions->Trades->listLabels()));
$this->set('elements', ($this->Descriptions->Elements->listLabels()));
$this->set('allocations', ($this->Descriptions->Allocations->listLabels()));
$this->set(compact('description'));
$this->render();
}
I have debugged both after patchEntity and saveEntity, and get this data structure.
debug($patch);
object(App\Model\Entity\Description) {

The record is saved smoothly into the Descriptions Table, but it just won't save any associated data.
Am I missing something obvious?
Any help is gratefully received. Also, if you need more info, plz ask as it's my 1st post here :-)
Only entities are being saved, ie phases must hold an array of entities, not nested arrays. The nested arrays are what you'd pass to newEntity()/patchEntity(), where they would be converted into entities accordingly.
$description->phases = [
$this->Descriptions->Phases->get(5)
];

Cakephp 3 - belongsToMany with _joinData

I try to realize a bolongsToMany association with additional data in the join table. The join table has columns for the foreign keys and an additional column 'context'
articlesController:
$article = $this->Articles->patchEntity($article, $this->request->getData());
debug($article);die;
and in a Plugin-Behavior:
public function beforeMarshal(Event $event, ArrayObject $data, ArrayObject $options)
{
$data['Categories.Categories'] = ['id' => '1', '_joinData' => ['context' => 'Tag']];
debug($data);
}
I expect the context beeing saved in the join table, but it doesn't. The debgger says:
/plugins/Categories/src/Model/Behavior/CategorizeableBehavior.php (line 37)
object(ArrayObject) {
name => 'dfa'
description => 'er'
Categories.Categories => [
'id' => '1',
'_joinData' => [
'context' => 'Tag'
]
]
}
/src/Controller/ArticlesController.php (line 56)
object(App\Model\Entity\Article) {
'name' => 'dfa',
'description' => 'er',
'[new]' => true,
'[accessible]' => [
'name' => true,
'description' => true,
'created' => true,
'modified' => true
],
'[dirty]' => [
'name' => true,
'description' => true
],
'[original]' => [],
'[virtual]' => [],
'[errors]' => [],
'[invalid]' => [],
'[repository]' => 'Articles'

Where's my category and context. What's wrong with my code?
If you want to attach join data it needs to be in a nested array.
$data['Categories.Categories'] = [
['id' => '1', '_joinData' => ['context' => 'Tag']]
];
It has to be a nested array so that you could attached multiple records (if you wanted too).
