I'm creating a website with laravel and when a user edits their details it will access the controller update them and redirect to the 'edit' page using this
return Redirect::to('/member/editprofile')->with('message', 'Information Changed');
this part works fine, it redirects and sends the message which is printed out on the page with this
{{ Session::get('message') }}
I was wondering if there was a way to add a class to the session? I'm probably missing something completely obvious here and this is what I tried...
{{ Session::get('message', array("class" => "success")) }}
//added the class as you would with a HTML::link
any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
You want this
<div class="success">{{ Session::get('message') }}</div>
In Laravel-4, the Session::get accepts two arguments :
$value = Session::get('key', 'default');
$value = Session::get('key', function() { return 'default'; });

we are trying to get the value sent with the redirect method in blade template in laravel.
Here is how my return statement looks like:
public function movetotrash($id){
$page = Pages::where('id', $id) -> first();
$page -> active = 0;
//$page -> save();
//return redirect()->route('pages.index')->with('trash','Page Moved To Trash');
return redirect('pages')->with('trash','Page Moved To Trash');
}
Now once its redirect to pages it creates are URL like this http://localhost:8888/laravelCRM/public/pages.
Then i want to print the message to user that "Page is moved to trash" with $trash variable. For which i used this :
#if(isset($trash) ))
<div class="alert alert-error">
{{ $trash }}<br><br>
</div>
#endif
What should i do to print the value?
Thank you! (in advance)
The with method flashes data to the session which is only accessible in the next request.
So you can retrieve it from the session like this:
#if(session()->has('trash'))
<div class="alert alert-error">
{{ session()->get('trash') }}
</div>
#endif
In redirect with value pass as session flash,so you need to check value like that
#if(session()->has('trash'))
then you can show like this
{{ session('trash') }}
You can send data from controller like this,
You have to assign the message into variable
$trash = Page Moved To Trash';
return redirect('pages')->with('trash');
and then in view,
use like this.
#if(session($trash) ))
<div class="alert alert-error">
{{ session($trash) }}<br><br>
</div>
#endif
The data will store in session and we can use it on redirect page
Hope this will help :)
I've been working on migrating several of our forms to Laravel, but there's one last step I'm not entirely sure on how to go about. I have a form that does an Insert into a database, but instead of just having 2 pages--the form and the submission page--I have 3: the form, a confirmation and a submission page.
Here is what I have at the moment:
Routes:
Route::any('application/housing-form', array('as'=>'application.form', 'uses'=>'ApplicationController#form'));
Route::post('application/confirmation', array('as'=>'application.confirmation', 'uses'=>'ApplicationController#confirmation'));
Route::post('application/submit', array('as'=>'application.submit', 'uses'=>'ApplicationController#submit'));
ApplicationController:
public function form()
{
$application = new Application;
return View::make('application/form')->with(array('application'=>$application));
}
public function confirmation()
{
$input = Input::all();
//More here?
return View::make('application/confirmation')->with(array('input'=>$input));
}
public function submit() {
$input = Input::all();
DB::table('application')->insert(
array(
<field1> => $input('field1')
...
)
);
return View::make('application/submit');
}
Views:
//form
{{ Form::model($application, array('route'=>'application.confirmation')
//inputs
{{ Form::submit('Continue') }}
{{ Form::close() }}
//confirmation
{{ Form::open(array('route'=>'application.form') }}
{{ Form::submit('Back to my information') }}
{{ Form::close() }}
{{ Form::open(array('route'=>'application.submit') }}
{{ Form::submit('Submit') }}
{{ Form::close() }}
//submission
<p>Thank you for your submission!</p>
What I am unsure about is how to persist the data from the form through the confirmation page and into the submission page. From what I can tell, I can see a few options:
Reflash all of the input
Use a hidden field (or fields) to send the information
Insert the information into the database in the confirmation page and just do an update with an in-between query with the information.
I'm pretty sure it would be the first one: reflashing the data. But if so, I'm not sure where you're actually supposed to call Session::flash or Session::reflash. Or how many times I need to do it to get it through all of the requests. Any suggestions on how to go about that, or how to streamline the rest of the form would be greatly appreciated.
One extra note as well is that this particular form deals with a large number of input fields (around 60). That's part of why I want to avoid having to request each individual field to a minimum.
What I would do is to flash the input to the session in order to repopulate the form. This can be achieved by using the Input::flash() method like so:
public function confirmation(){
Input::flash(); //this will store the input to the session
return View::make('application/confirmation');
}
Then in your view, use the Input::old() method to retrieve input data from the previous request:
{{ Form::text('fieldname', Input::old('fieldname')) }}
I am brand new to Laravel, and following a super basic tutorial.
However the tutorial did not come with an edit record section, which I am attempting to extend myself.
Route:
Route::controller('admin/products', 'ProductsController');
Controller:
class ProductsController extends BaseController
{
public function getUpdate($id)
{
$product = Product::find($id);
if ($product) {
$product->title = Input::get('title');
$product->save();
return Redirect::to('admin/products/index')->with('message', 'Product Updated');
}
return Redirect::to('admin/products/index')->with('message', 'Invalid Product');
}
..ECT...
I realise the controller is requesting an ID to use, but I cannot figure out how to pass it a product ID when the form is posted/get.
Form:
{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update",'method' => 'get', 'files'=>true))}}
<ul>
<li>
{{ Form::label('title', 'Title:') }}
{{ Form::text('title') }}
{{ Form::hidden('id', $product->id) }}
..ECT...
{{ Form::close() }}
my initial idea was to pass the product id within the form URL like:
{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update/{{product->id}}", 'files'=>true))}}
But no luck with that either.
The error I get is:
Missing argument 1 for ProductsController::postUpdate()
Interestingly if I type directly into the URL:
http://localhost/laravel/public/admin/products/update/3
It works and the item with id 3 is altered fine.
So can anyone help and inform me how to pass the id with a form?
Thanks very much
The first Problem here ist the following:
{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update/{{product->id}}", 'files'=>true))}}
the {{product->id}} is wrong in two ways:
it should be {{$product->id}}
BUT it wouldn't work anyway because the inner {{..}} inside of the {{Form::...}} won't be recognized since it is inside a string and therefore part of the string itself.
You either have to write it this way:
{{Form::open(array("url"=>"admin/products/update/".$product->id, 'files'=>true))}}
or you give your route a name in your routes.php file and do it this way:
{{Form::open(array('route' => array('route.name', $product->id, 'files'=>true)))}}
I prefer the second way.
You also might want to look into Form Model Bingin
so I have a selection box that gives a dropdown menu to give messages a manager from the dropdown. It takes the input and then changes to a column in the database called manager for it's respective column. When I try to submit the selection menu it gives me the regular error for Laravel. But then when I put ?debug=1 at the end it submits but gives the row's manager column a value of just blank.
Here is what I have in the routes.php
Route::get('foo/{id}', 'fooController#bar');
Route::post('foo/{id}', 'fooController#bar');
This is the form.
{{ Form::open(array('url' => '/admin/foo' . $message->id)) }}
{{ Form::select('handler[]', array('unassigned', 'foo', 'bar'), null, array('style' => 'width: 127px')); }}
{{ Form::submit('Change manager') }}
{{ Form::close() }}
{{ $message->manager }}
and here is what is in the fooController
public function bar($id = null)
{
$message = Message::find($id);
$handler = Input::get('handler[]');
$message->manager = $handler;
$message->save();
return Redirect::action('AdminController#foo_bar');
}
I had a problem like this the other day, I have zero recollection of what I did. I really appreciate any help, thanks! The database is postgresql if that's any help
Try a dd(Input::all()) at the beginning of your controller and make sure you're seeing what you expect.
Also since you're sending an array perhaps you have to do Input::get('handler.0') -- see here right below the Input::only() and Input::except() code block.
It would seem as though because you are naming your select handler[], PHP is grabbing it as part of an array.
When setting up your message model, try this...
public function bar($id = null)
{
$message = Message::find($id);
$handler = Input::get('handler[]');
$message->manager = $handler[0];
$message->save();
return Redirect::action('AdminController#foo_bar');
}
Usually, you'd only use names in your forms post-fixed with [] when you are accepting multiple values like checkboxes/multi-selects etc... Otherwise, it's probably best to stick with not using it because it may cause confusion.
I managed to fix it in a almost frustratingly simple way by just changing the method to PUT.
like this
Form::open(array('url' => 'foo/bar', 'method' => 'put'))
I have create.blade.php view modal and i want it to be used with and without default content.
example:
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::text('title', $content->title, array('class' => 'form-control' , 'placeholder' => 'Insert Title Here.')) }}
</div>
The $content obj doesn't always exists so i get error like this (when there is no content set to $content):
Trying to get property of non-object
This is my controller function:
public function create($default_content = '')
{
return View::make('content.create')
->with('content', $default_content);
}
I tried to set default/fake obj:
$default_content = ($default_content == '') ? new stdClass() :
$default_content;
But in the end i get error that $content->title dose not exists.
Should i set all the variables to NULL in the obj if $default_content is empty ? if so, how?
There must be a better way to handle this problem - Thanks!
There are a few things you could probably do.
I'm assuming since you are building a form, content is actually a model, in which case when you open the form, use Form::model($content), then Laravel will automatically set those values for you.
You can read more about that here... http://laravel.com/docs/html#form-model-binding
If content is not a model, you could setup a view composer, which will automatically inject $content into your view each time it's loaded.
View::composer('content', function($view)
{
// Retrieve your content
// Inject the content into the view each time it's loaded.
$view->with('content', $content);
});
Can check http://laravel.com/docs/responses#view-composers for more info
The last solution would be to check for it in your view before setting it though usually, it's a good idea to keep this kind of logic out of your views.
{{ Form::text('title', isset($content->title) ? $content->title : '', array('class' => 'form-control' , 'placeholder' => 'Insert Title Here.')) }}
