I am working with CFv5 and am more than satisfied. Now I used a train ride (without wifi) of eight hours to study CFv6 and its tutorial and exmperimenting a bit locally – but I didn't even manage to show data read out from a database! I am irritated: have I become complete ignorant or is the tutorial not tutoring? :-;

The tutorial says if I don't know how the variable looks like, put {var.pr:read_data1} into a custom field. The result shown in preview is: {var.pr:read_data1}.

I tried ordinary php and asked

echo var_dump($this->data['read_data1']);

. What I got was: NULL.

But the debugger says there are data:

Array
(
    [read_data1] => Array
        (
            [log] => Array
                (
                    [0] => SELECT `jubi`.`id` AS `jubi.id`, `jubi`.`name` AS `jubi.name`, `jubi`.`gdat` AS `jubi.gdat` FROM `gk16_filialfinder_stores` AS `jubi` WHERE `jubi`.`gdat` > '0';
                )

            [var] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [jubi] => Array
                                (
                                    [id] => 1
                                    [name] => Weggefährten
                                    [gdat] => 08.10.1954
                                )

I need to process those data before I present the results in "Display Section". So I need to know eg. how to reach [gdat].

On page 21 you use "Content" as model name. A really bad choice of name. When I was searching for "php syntax" I was shown page 26 with some explanation containing "content" which I misunderstood as some necessary function – without knowing the preconditions of page 21. I suggest you use for customizing examples in tutorials sth. like "mymodelname".

Thanks for your assistance!

I found conversion from CF5 to CF6 not easy but well worth while - in the end! 🙂 To the degree that it is worth my while to rewrite some CF5 forms in CF6.

Have you tried

dump($this) 

to see that the data is there as you expect? And Max passed this on as a means of retrieving data

$mydata=$this->get('read_data1');

Stick with it. :twisted: :twisted:

The last one did it! Thank you so much!

Could someone write it into the tutorial, too? Thx!
