cakephp new field not saving

Question

How to you extend a cakePHP project so it can use a new field in the database?

I just given a CakePHP Project that I am trying to extend the model to include a new field

Answer 1

In cakephp 3 you should also check your entity file for that model, and make sure that the field is under the $_accesible property.

Example:

protected $_accessible = [
    'name' => true,
    'topic' => true,
    'new_field' => true
];
