How can I save staff_name column as others in CakePHP?

Question

I am making ledger app to kill the paper work.

but making simple CRUD, there was a problem.

Other columns are OK, but one column cannot be saved.

Would you take a look at this?

I am just making add, edit, delete, and view ctp files as bake command generated.

And the Controller also made by bake command.

I just changed POST method to GET method.

tried

• re-making table columns, make sure I am using correct name.
• make sure I am using correct cake grammar.
• add accessible in Entity

    protected $_accessible = [
        '*' => true
    ];

add.ctp

<div class="ledgers form large-9 medium-8 columns content">
    <?= $this->Form->create($ledger) ?>
    <fieldset>
        <legend><?= __('Add Ledger') ?></legend>
        <?php
            $men = [
                'Fukuda','Hayasi','Seki','Kubo'
            ];
            $work_category = [
                'preview','build','repair','etc'
            ];

            echo $this->Form->control('customer_name');
            echo $this->Form->control('customer_adress');
            echo $this->Form->control('customer_tel1');
            echo $this->Form->control('customer_tel2');

            // need arr, $members = [hukuda, hayasi,ryo]
            echo $this->Form->control('staff_name', 
                ['options' => $men,
            ]);
            echo $this->Form->control('work_category',
                ['options' => $work_category,
            ]);
            echo $this->Form->control('content');
            echo $this->Form->control('reserved');
        ?>
    </fieldset>
    <?= $this->Form->button(__('Submit')) ?>
    <?= $this->Form->end() ?>
</div>

I want to make select form to restrict categories.

LedgersController.php

    public function edit($id = null) {
        // return the GET data (in url)
        $ledger = $this->Ledgers->get($id);

        // this is POST only -------------
        if ($this->request->is(['patch', 'post', 'put'])) {

            $ledger = $this->Ledgers->patchEntity(
                $ledger, $this->request->getData());
            if ($this->Ledgers->save($ledger)) {
                $this->Flash->success(
                    __('The ledger has been saved.'));

                return $this->redirect(
                    ['action' => 'index']);
            }
            $this->Flash->error(
                __('The ledger could not be saved.'));
        }
        // POST
        $this->set(compact('ledger'));
    }

Answer 1

Table name was messed up.
I was confused because column staff_id cannot use because of the cake php condition, So I made new column worker and replacing this, but it was complicated. It worked well when I integrate the code with staff_id

I was also confused by <th> and <td>

                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('id') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('customer_name') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('customer_tel1') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('customer_tel2') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('staff_name') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('work_category') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                     sort('created') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('reserved') ?></th>
                <th scope="col"><?= $this->Paginator->
                    sort('modified') ?></th>
                <th scope="col" class="actions">
                    <?= __('Actions') ?></th>

            <?php foreach ($ledgers as $ledger): ?>
            <tr>
                <td><?= $this->Number->format($ledger->id) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->customer_name) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->customer_tel1) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->customer_tel2) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->staff_name) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->work_category) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->created) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->reserved) ?></td>
                <td><?= h($ledger->modified) ?></td>

Try this select option may help.

add.ctp

<div class="ledgers form large-9 medium-8 columns content">
<?= $this->Form->create($ledger) ?>
<fieldset>
    <legend><?= __('Add Ledger') ?></legend>
    <?php

        echo $this->Form->control('customer_name');
        echo $this->Form->control('customer_adress');
        echo $this->Form->control('customer_tel1');
        echo $this->Form->control('customer_tel2');
        echo $this->Form->control('staff_name', [
            'type' => 'select',
            'placeholder' => __('staff_name'),
            'label' => __('staff_name'),
            'empty' => __('(Choose Type)'),
            'value' => $ledger->staff_name,
            'options' => [
                        ['value' => 'Fukuda', 'text' => __('Fukuda')],
                        ['value' => 'Hayasi', 'text' => __('Hayasi')],
                        ['value' => 'Seki', 'text' => __('Kubo')],
                        ['value' => 'Kubo', 'text' => __('Kubo')]
                    ]
        ]);

        echo $this->Form->control('work_category ', [
            'type' => 'select',
            'placeholder' => __('work_category '),
            'label' => __('work_category'),
            'empty' => __('(Choose Type)'),
            'value' => $ledger->work_category ,
            'options' => [
                        ['value' => 'preview', 'text' => __('preview')],
                        ['value' => 'build', 'text' => __('build')],
                        ['value' => 'repair', 'text' => __('repair')],
                        ['value' => 'etc', 'text' => __('etc')]
                    ]
        ]);
        echo $this->Form->control('content');
        echo $this->Form->control('reserved');
    ?>
</fieldset>
<?= $this->Form->button(__('Submit')) ?>
<?= $this->Form->end() ?>

this style also help you for easy editing too.
