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

clear cache at /app/tmp/cache

if raising debug level to 2 or 3 is not working.

check if, on using debug($Model), shows your new field under schema attribute of model.

Answer 2

In CakePHP application, whenever you add a new field or modify the structure in database, you should delete all files inside YourApplication/app/tmp/cache/models folder.

Answer 3

Whenever you do any database change follow the following steps :

1. Clear files under \app\tmp\cache\models
2. If you are using any cache engines like memcache, restart the cache service.
3. Set the debug to 2 in core.php

Answer 4

Whenever you make any changes to your database, please make sure that your app/config/core.php file debug value is 2. Configure::write('debug', 2);

If it is 0 database changes will not be detected.

Answer 5

You can also delete cache file if your database changes are not working.

path of your application\app\tmp\cache\models

Answer 6

Quite a bit later, but I was looking for a way to do this today in Cake 3.x. Easiest way, imo:

bin/cake orm_cache build

which will rebuild the cache w/ the current db structure.

Or to just clear w/o rebuild:

bin/cake orm_cache clear
