@ClouddJR backpack already supports L8 !
thanks :)
hey guys. Just wondering if anyone knows how to get the file type from an upload file in backpack, and also file size.
If I use pathinfo it returns extension of tmp, which doesn't help.
public function setFileNameAttribute( $value ) {
$attribute_name = "file_name";
$disk = "public";
$destination_path = "files/" . $this->attributes['project_id'];
$path = pathinfo( $value );
$this->uploadFileToDisk( $value, $attribute_name, $disk, $destination_path );
$this->attributes['file_type'] = $path['extension']; // returns tmp
}
@acewebsa It seems odd to have the upload functionality inside a model's mutator method. That said, the following code is untested but should do what you need:
$file = request()->file($attribute_name);
$mimeType = $file->getMimeType(); // trusted value uses finfo(), better to use this
$extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension() // extracted from the original file name that was uploaded, ie, not trust worthy but it is an option
$size = $file->getSize();
Hey folks, I'm using v4.1 over here --- I have a strange thing going on where I try to use the
relationship field type on an n-n relation with ajax searching enabled. When I try to search for a relation I get a 405 Method Not Allowed when I look at the console. Is there some step I am missing in regards to creating a route, etc here that's not listed in the docs? The endpoint it's trying to reach is /admin/{entity}/fetch/{relations}.
@jorgepires We'd be happy to help, the best format might be to post your question on stackoverflow.com where you can show your code and explain the issue, tag that question with the "backpack-for-laravel" tag, then drop a link to that question here.
Hi! I have a custom pivot table (evaluation_id, thread_id, question_id), and I'm using the select_multiple field in create to query the relationship
class Evaluation extends Model
public function questions()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Question::class, 'evaluation_question')->withPivot('thread_id');
}This is my crud field
CRUD::addField([ // Select_Multiple = n-n relationship
'label' => 'Select_Multiple',
'type' => 'custom_select',
'name' => 'questions',
'entity' => 'questions',
'attribute' => 'title',
'model' => Question::class,
'pivot' => true,
'pivotFields' => [
'thread_id' => 'thread_id',
],
'tab' => __('base.questions'),
// 'wrapperAttributes' => ['class' => 'form-group col-md-12'],
]);How to set a default value in the pivot field like thread_id = 2?
Hi @DelightedD0D , thank you for your input, I have added my question in stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63973518/laravel-backpack-javascript-dynamic-change-of-select-option
The datetime_picker field suggests adding this
setDateTimeAttribute to my model - but it doesn't say what the \Date::parse class is. What should I import for that?
I see the bits about
fetchTag however, I will try those.
Here's what I added to the controller per the docs.
<?php
use \Backpack\CRUD\app\Http\Controllers\Operations\FetchOperation;
protected function fetchTag()
{
return $this->fetch([
'model' => \App\Models\Creator::class, // required
'searchable_attributes' => ['name'],
'paginate' => 10, // items to show per page
'query' => function($model) {
return $model->active();
} // to filter the results that are returned
]);
}
@paperscissors what is the actual name of the relationship you're attempting to fetch? ie, what is the name of the method on the main model that returns the relationship? if it is
creator, please try updating protected function fetchTag() to protected function fetchCreator() and ensure that the 'name' in your field configuration is also set to creator
@paperscissors also worth noting, you probably dont actually want the
'query' option shown in the example call to fetch, unless your Creator model actually has a scopeActive method on it. That's just an example showing how you can modify the query it will run to apply some conditions.
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question... apologies in advance if that's the case. I am planning on buying the Unlimited License but before I do so, I wanted to get some extended training on Backpack. I am familiar with the basics but I want know if there are resources available for learning advanced customization best practices (apart from the docs I mean). What's the recommended solution for this, is there a course or something?
@antony.peiris_gitlab There is a "Getting started" video course here https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/4.1/getting-started-videos but there are no advanced courses that I'm aware of. Are there any specific topics or features you'd like to see a video tutorial for? Perhaps we (the community) could make that happen :)

@automat64 I haven't used it but it looks interesting. Offhand, I'd think you'd probably need to
1) extend vendor/backpack/crud/src/app/Library/CrudPanel/Traits/Read.php and override the entry getter methods (getEntry, getEntryWithoutFakes, getEntries, etc..)
2) override any of the views that pull related models directly in the views (select_multiple.blade.php, etc..)
3) work around potential issues with related models and "fake" columns that are derrived from columns that store JSON
Seems doable with some work though :)

Hi, i from Argentina
@gastonberruet_twitter It doesnt look like there's a field for that but you could create a custom field combining the logic from
select2_grouped.blade.php and select2_multiple.blade.php at a glance it looks like you'd only need to pull in the logic that creates the options
I installed Statamic 3 into an existing Backpack project. After messing with Users/Permission, I was able to access statamic and create a first page, but all I ge its a backpack 404 page on the frontend. Statamic claims its routing works out of the box: https://statamic.dev/routing - any hint, how to debug this?
@marcus-at-localhost Hmm, I hadn't heard of Statamic. I took a read through their site and documentation. It looks pretty cool in its own right. For the applications I build, I don't think mixing Statamic into my sites with Backpack would be beneficial to my workflow. The packages/platforms seem to have somewhat opposing philosophies. Perhaps though your projects could benefit from the use of both. After you've worked with them a bit together I'd love to hear back from you regarding your experience and they ways you've used parts of each together to build something awesome. Happy coding!
The way I aim to use both is, to have statamic take care of building the typical website stuff and backpack to deal with data in legacy databases and tabular data in general, that will be rendered in statamic or in a custom route. Not sure how this all will work out :) - but I will report. Thanks!
