Question

am trying to call functions inside my model in my controller but i get this error.
(1/1) ErrorException Non-static method App\User::getallreferrals() should not be called statically. in HomeController.php (line 37)
this is my model.
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Auth;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'first_name','last_name','other_name','user_name','number2','email', 'password', 'number','bank_name','acct_number','acct_name', 'next_kin', 'next_kin_no', 'transaction_details', 'entry_matrix','referral_id', 'referred_by','first_downline_id', 'second_downline_id'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays. `1
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
public function scopeGetallreferrals($query)
{
return $query->where('referred_by', Auth::user()->referral_id)->pluck('referral_id');
}
public function scopeGetallreferralsobject($query)
{
return $query->where('referred_by', Auth::user()->referral_id)->get();
}
public function scopeGetallreferrals2genobject($query)
{
$referrals = $this->getallreferrals();
return $query->where('referred_by', $referrals)->get();
}
public function scopeGetallreferrals2gen($query)
{
$referrals = $this->getallreferrals();
return $query->where('referred_by', $referrals)->pluck('referral_id');
}
public function scopeGetallreferrals3gen($query){
$referrals2gen = $this->getallreferrals3gen();
return $query->where('referred_by', $referrals2gen)->pluck('referral_id');
}
public function scopeGetcaptain($query)
{
return $query->where('referral_id', Auth::user()->referred_by)->pluck('referred_by');
}
public function scopeGetallcaptain2gen($query)
{
$captain = $this->getcaptain();
return $query->where('referral_id', $captain)->pluck('referral_id');
}
public function scopeGetallcaptain3gen($query){
$captain2gen = $this->getcaptain2gen();
return $query->where('referred_by', $captain2gen)->pluck('referral_id');
}
public function scopeGetallreferralsbyID($query, $id){
return $this->getallreferrals()->where('id', $id);
}
public function scopeGetallreferrals2genbyID($query, $id){
return $this->getallreferrals2gen()->where('id', $id);
}
public function scopeGetallreferrals3genbyID($query, $id){
return $this->getallreferrals3gen()->where('id', $id);
}
}
then my controller.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\DateTime;
use App\User;
use Auth;
use Session;
class HomeController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$captain = User::getcaptain();
$referrals = User::getallreferrals();
return view('home', ['captain' => $captain, 'referrals' => $referrals]);
}
Please what am i not doing right? I have been on this project for a while now.
my migrations
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('first_name');
$table->string('last_name');
$table->string('other_name');
$table->string('user_name');
$table->string('number');
$table->string('number2');
$table->string('bank_name');
$table->string('acct_number');
$table->string('acct_name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('password');
$table->string('next_kin');
$table->string('next_kin_no');
$table->string('entry_matrix');
$table->string('transaction_details')->nullable();

$table->integer('stage')->default(0);
$table->string('referral_id')->unique();
$table->string('referred_by')->nullable();

$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.

*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('users');
}
}

As it is saying the getallreferrals method is not static, but you are trying to call it with :, which means static.
It should be something like
use a Scope for this in User model
public function scopeGetallreferrals($query, $user)
{
return $query->where('referred_by', $user->referral_id);
}
and in controller
public function __construct(User $user)
{
$this->middleware('auth');
$this->user = Auth:user();
}
public function index()
{
$captain = $this->user->getcaptain();
$referrals = $this->user->getallreferrals($this->user)->pluck('referral_id');
return view('home', ['captain' => $captain, 'referrals' => $referrals]);
}
