Has many through update / with pivot laravel 5.5 - php

Question

I have several tables (all of them with created_at, updated_at, deleted_at) :
sectors
lang_sector
valuechains
lang_valuechain
segments
lang_segment
keyneeds
keyneed_lang
the tables are linked in this order :
sectors has many valuechains
valuechains has many segments
segments has many keyneeds
Here is my model :
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class Sector extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $table = "sectors";
protected $fillable = ['admin_id'];
protected $dates = [ 'created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at' ];
public function langs() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Lang')
->withPivot('sectname', 'sectshortname', 'segname_slug',
'sectdescription', 'sectshortdescription'
)
->withTimestamps();
}
public function admin()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Admin');
}
public function valuechains()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Valuechain');
}
public function segments()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Segment', 'App\Valuechain');
}
public function keyneeds()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Keyneed', 'App\Segment', 'App\Valuechain');
}
}
In my destroy controller :
public function destroy($id)
{
$sector = Sector::findOrFail($id);
$sector_ids = $sector->langs()->allRelatedIds();
foreach ($sector_ids as $id){
$sector->langs()->updateExistingPivot($id, ['lang_sector.deleted_at' => Carbon::now()]);
}
$sector->valuechains()->update( [ 'valuechains.deleted_at' => Carbon::now() ] );
$sector->segments()->update( [ 'segments.deleted_at' => Carbon::now() ] );
$sector->keyneeds()->update( [ 'keyneeds.deleted_at' => Carbon::now() ] );
Sector::where('id', $id)->delete();
return redirect()->route('sectors.index')->with('success', 'Sector deleted');
}
My issue is that it doesn't update the following tables : segments and keyneeds (which have created_at, updated_at and deleted_at fields) and their pivot tables too ... And that i have an error message :
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1052 Field: 'updated_at' in field list is ambiguous (SQL: update segments inner join valuechains on valuechains.id = segments.valuechain_id set segments.deleted_at = 2018-05-10 06:54:54, updated_at = 2018-05-10 06:54:54 where valuechains.sector_id = 2)
it adds : updated_at
I succesfully updated :
sectors table
valuechains table
lang_valuechain pivot
My issue is to update
segments table by using : $sector->segments()
keyneeds table by using : $sector->keyneeds()
And their pivot table as well... I read the documentation but it doesn't help.
I use the update() method because $sector->segments()->delete() is trying to make a hard delete...

I finally find an issue to this.. Not very elegant but it's working on the "main" tables. I'll have to solve the little problem on pivot tables :
public function destroy($id)
{
$sector = Sector::findOrFail($id);
$valuechains = Valuechain::where('sector_id','=',$sector->id)->get();
foreach ($valuechains as $valuechain) {
$segments = Segment::where('valuechain_id', '=', $valuechain->id )->get();
$valuechain->langs()->updateExistingPivot($valuechain->id, ['lang_valuechain.deleted_at' => Carbon::now()]);
foreach ($segments as $segment) {
$keyneeds = Keyneed::where('segment_id', '=', $segment->id)->get();
$segment->langs()->updateExistingPivot($segment->id, ['lang_segment.deleted_at' => Carbon::now()]);
$segment->delete();
foreach ($keyneeds as $keyneed) {
$keyneed->langs()->updateExistingPivot($keyneed->id, ['keyneed_lang.deleted_at' => Carbon::now()]);
$keyneed->delete();
}
}
$valuechain->delete();
}
$sector->langs()->updateExistingPivot($id, ['lang_sector.deleted_at' => Carbon::now()]);
$sector->delete();
return redirect()->route('sectors.index')->with('success', 'Secteur suppprimé');
}
