Hi everyone, i’m having some problem in the tag section:  
i’ve created the \_getTagString method inside the article.php entity

but the prop $this-\>tags is empty so the function return empty string.

i’ve copy pasted all the code, but i’m missing something. i’ve also added this line inside articesTable : $this-\>belongsToMany(‘Tags’);

**edit:**

**$article = $this-\>Articles-\>findBySlug($slug)-\>firstOrFail();**

**with this line cake is getting my article and all the associated tags? so inside the entity i should have it right?**

Thanks.
