Question

I had a website made for me a long time ago, and the programmer did it in CakePHP. I’m now editing his scripts.

I added a couple columns to a table, and found that doing saveField() on the new column does not do anything. How do I make CakePHP recognize the new columns?

I’d appreciate your help. I’m not too familiar with CakePHP, so please go easy on me =)

Answer 1

The cache data is saved in YourAppFoloer/tmp/cache/models (delete the files there-in)

You can also try Cache::clear()

http://book.cakephp.org/view/1382/Clearing-the-Cache

Edit – this looked horrible in the comment:

You could add it to a controller to call:

function superHandyCacheClearer() {
$this->autoRender = false;
Cache::clear();
}

And call http://www.yourcakeapp.com/yourControllerYouAddedItTo/superHandyCacheClearer – but really, this is when you’re making changes whilst in the code. Deleting the cache folder contents, really, should be the fix
