How to register middlewares in OctoberCMS plugin?

Registering middlewares in Laravel is easy:

simply list the middleware class in the $middleware property of your app/Http/Kernel.php class

or

If you would like to assign middleware to specific routes, you should first assign the middleware a short-hand key in your app/Http/Kernel.php file

But how can this be done in an OctoberCMS plugin? Is the "Routing and initialization" meant to be used in place of Kernel.php to register middlewares? If not, where can a plugin register its own middlewares?

Laravel Eloquent ORM: Change model so left join is *always* performed

I have a very simple Eloquent Model:

class HelpdeskComment extends Model
{
    protected $table   = 'helpdesk_comment';
    protected $guarded = ['id', 'helpdesk_topic_id'];

    public function topic () {
        return $this->belongsTo ('\\App\\Model\\HelpdeskTopic');
    }

    public function user () {
        return $this->belongsTo ('\\App\\Model\\User');
    }
}

This all works quite well when doing stuff like

$user = $helpdeskComment->user;

However, I would like to change the model so that the User table (specifically the "username" field) is always left-joined against the HelpdeskComment table, regardless of the query function called. Is there a simple/central way to achieve this or do I have to override each function (all(), etc.)?

Thanks for any ideas & pointers.

Display Omnipay Error Message in Laravel

I have a simple payment form in my Laravel 5.2 webapp. Everything works as expected except when the payment has an issue and fails. I am trying to pass the error message on a redirect back and display this message on the top of the page.

My Controller:

// Payment failed
$payment_failed_array = $response->getMessage();
//dd($payment_failed_array); // I do get the error here.
return redirect()->back()
->with('payment_failed_array', $payment_failed_array)
->withInput();

My view:

@if ( ! empty(Session::get('payment_failed_array')))
@foreach (Session::get('payment_failed_array') as $error)
<div class="col-md-9">

Laravel 5: Dynamically Generate Links (Routes) to Uploades Files

I have a simple form where users can upload files. Files are uploaded to public/uploads directory.

Below the form there is a list of all the files in public/uploads directory.

So, here is my controller method:

public function store(Request $request)
{
    if ($request->hasFile('file_upload')) {
        if ($request->file('file_upload')->isValid()) {
            $request->file('file_upload')->move(public_path().'/uploads/', $request->file('file_upload')->getClientOriginalName());
        }
    }

    $list_of_files = \File::allFiles(public_path().'/uploads/');

    return view('foo', compact('list_of_files'));
}

and here is the View file that displays the list of files:

<ul>
    @foreach($list_of_files as $file)
        <li><a href="#"></a></li>
    @endforeach
</ul>

What should I put in href=" " to have links to those files (and what routes do I need to have so these links work)?

Receive emails in laravel 5 from sendgrid

I'm kinda stuck with sendgrid and Laravel...

What I'm trying to make is a function in my laravel 5.1 application so users can send AND RECEIVE emails trough sendgrid. So I acctually want to integrate something like roundcube, but then in my own opplication. I already can send emails to people, but my main problem is receiving them. I already have read the full documentation page of sendgrid, but I just can't figure out how I should implementate it. I do know you need to send a post request from sendgrid to your server (app), but I don't know where in sendgrid I should place the url, and what tables I should use in my application to store the emails. Could someone please help me out with this? And give me a decent explaination of how I can implement this?

Kindest regards,

Guzzle Post Request getting ERR_INVALID_CHUNKED_ENCODING when trying to access the request in controller

I'm using guzzle 6 in laravel 5 to send a post request but I'm getting ERR_INVALID_CHUNKED_ENCODING when I try to access the request() in the method that handles the post request.

Here's my code:

Routes.php

Route::get('/guzzle', [
    'as'   => 'guzzle-test',
    'uses' => 'TestController@getTest'
]);

Route::post('/guzzle', [
   'as'   => 'guzzle-post-test',
   'uses' => 'TestController@postTest'
]);

TestController.php

public function getTest()
{
    $client = new Client();

    $data = [
        'hey' => 'ho'
    ];

    $request = $client->post(route('guzzle-post-test'), [
        'content-type' => 'application/json'
    ], json_encode($data));

    return $request;
}

public function postTest()
{
    dd(request());
}

I getting to the post request handler since I've tried to diedump a string and it gets there, but if i call the request() I get that error. For what I've researched It may have something to with the content length, but after reading guzzle's docs and some stuff around the web I could find how to get and pass the content length appropriately in the request. Any help would be very appreciated!

Getting null as a result

I have created two tables, First is Posts table and seconds is Comments table. I'm using sqlite database.

I'm getting null as result for comment function using hasMany method in Post Model.

Posts table migration file:

    class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('Posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::drop('Posts');
    }
}

Comments table migration file:

 class CreateCommentsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()

        $table->increments('id');
        $table->integer('post_id')->unsigned()->index();
        $table->text('body');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
        Schema::table('Comments', function (Blueprint $table) {

        });
}


/**
 * Reverse the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function down()
{
    Schema::drop('Comments');
}
}

Post Model:

class Post extends Model
{

    //
    public function comment(){
    return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);    
   //I have also tried: return $this->hasMany(Comment::class,'post_id','id');
    }
}

The data has been entered in both the tables and I'm getting results when I do

$post=new App\Post;
$post->get();

But when I try to get all the comments for a post using

$post->comment;

I'm getting

=>Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection {#633
all:[],
}

Why am I getting null as a result?

Is there a way to delegate a job to another action in Laravel?

Suppose we have two models: Users, and Posts. These models have many-to-many relationship defined between them - a user can have many posts, and post can have many editors(users).

When this form is submitted to PostsController, it's store action must handle not only the new post's fields, but also it's editors, which seems wrong. Example:

public function store()
{
    // creating a post
    $post = Post::create(request()->get('post_fields'));

    // adding editors to the post (this should be done somewhere else)
    $editors = request()->get('editors');
    foreach($editors as $editor){
        $post->editors()->attach($editor->id);
    }

    return redirect('/');
}

As I already mentioned, this approach seems wrong and clumsy to me. Because of this I want to delegate editors handling task to PostsEditorsController, which will be a separate controller dedicated only to posts-editors relationship management. So the store will now look something like this:

public function store()
{
    // creating a post
    $post = Post::create(request()->get('post_fields'));

    $editors = request()->get('editors');
    PostsEditorsController::doSomething($post, $editors); // <-- just to show what I want to achieve

    return redirect('/');
}

How can I do this?

Why is Laravel saying "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '[]' to data type int"

public function productSearch(Request $request){
        $searchResult;
        if($request->input('category') == 'all' ){
            $searchResult = Product::where("pCategory", "like", '%')

        }
        //dd($searchResult);
        return view('products',['products' => $searchResult]);

And the model reads as follows:

    }

}

I don't understand why it keeps doing this, especially since I am not asking it to look at the ID. What is going on here?

How do I cache the current authenticated user? (Laravel 5)

Description

In my situation, I don't have a users table locally, but I have an api that will provide me a list of users.

---

getUsers()

I modify my getUsers() for my Auth::user() in app/Auth/ApiUserProvider.php

protected function getUsers()
{
    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, env('API_HOST') . 'vse/accounts');

    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $response = json_decode($response, true);

    curl_close($ch);

    return $response['data'];
}

---

Issue

Each time, I used Auth::user() in my code. It makes a call to my API .../vse/accounts It effects a lot of latency in my application.

---

How do I solve this ?

Should I start using cache ? If so, how do I modify what I have to do something like that ?

Should I store it in the session ?

I'm open to any suggestions right now.

Any hints / suggestions on this will be much appreciated !

Many to Many relationship works one way

I have a User and a Quiz models. I have many-to-many relationship defined between them in the following way:

User model

public function subscriptions()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(Quiz::class, 'subs_users', 'quiz_id', 'user_id')->withTimestamps()->withPivot('accepted');
}

Quiz model

public function subscribers()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(User::class);
}

Pivot table

Schema::create('subs_users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
    $table->integer('quiz_id')->unsigned();

    $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
    $table->foreign('quiz_id')->references('id')->on('quizzes')->onDelete('cascade');

    $table->primary(['user_id', 'quiz_id']);

    $table->boolean('accepted')->index();

    $table->timestamps();
});

When I call $quiz->subscribers, it returns a collection of users as expected. However, $user->subscriptions always returns an empty array. Why is that?

How to get count for all products for all categories (i.e all records on many-to-many table) with laravel 5.2

This what i want to do is to take the count of entries from many-to-many table. I can do it with a simple query, but I can use the ORM of Laravel 5.2. These are my models:

Category model

class Category extends BaseModel {
    protected $table = 'categories';

    public function products() {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\Product', 'product_category');
    }

Product model

class Product extends BaseModel {
    protected $table = 'products';

    public function categories() {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\Category', 'product_category')->withTimestamps();
    }

I want to add a method in the Category model or using the Laravel ORM to take the number of all products for all categories i.e the number of all records from the product_category table. How can I do it ?

Some questions on laravel 5

I have some sort of beginner intermediate question about the laravel 5 framework.

• When to use facade and when to use DI. To someone who is complete new to Laravel these two concept are a little hard to grasp. Here is an example.

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class UserController extends Controller {
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $name = $request->input('name');
    }
}

vs using this

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Request; // Facade of Illuminate\Http\Request
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class UserController extends Controller {
    public function store()
    {
        $name = Request::input('name');
    }
}

• If we wanted to create our own classes to use where can we put our own classes in the laravel default folder structure?

• Is Illuminate being assembled by composer? How do we know which classes to use from the illuminate namespace?

• If the project was hosted on a different server other than the default php server that comes with laravel, do we need to change the .htaccess?

Laravel Homestead with BrowserSync

I'm trying to use browsersync with Laravel. I followed this tutorial from laracasts but my browsersync isn't syncing.

Here's my gulpfile:

var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');
elixir(function(mix) {
    mix.sass('app.scss');
    mix.browserSync();
});

My app is homestead.app. So, after starting gulp watch, I go to homestead.app:3000 and see my app without BrowserSync.

I go to homestead.app:3001 and I can access BrowserSync dashboard, which shows this:

Local http://localhost:3000

External http://10.0.2.15:3000

Proxying: http://homestead.app

Current Connections Connected browsers will be listed here.

Local and external links not responding.

No matter what I did, I couldn't see any connection in Current Connections tab.

What I tried:

tried running gulp watch from my local environment instead of homestead.

This time both Local and external links were pointing to my app, but no syncing.

I'm using windows 8.1

Any help would be appreciated.

Laravel 5.2 Flash Issue with Redirect & Middleware

I currently have two set of codes , one works well with Session/Flash one doesn't.

Basically a Signup/Login form has got no issue displaying Flash , but they are not under any middleware.

Route::get('signup', ['uses' => 'HomeController@signup']);
Route::post('signup', ['uses' => 'HomeController@postSignup']);
Route::get('login', ['uses' => 'HomeController@login']);
Route::post('login', ['uses' => 'HomeController@postLogin']);

Things starts to get tricky when i started applying web & auth middleware to a group of code.

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web','auth']], function () {
Route::post('claimForm', ['uses' => 'HomeController@claimForm']);
}

The problem with this claim form is , the flash will be dropped if I do a redirect.

   $request->session()->flash('pass', 'Claim Submitted!');
    return redirect('/dashboard');

BUT if i do a return VIEW instead of redirect, the flash works perfectly fine.

I tried to remove web from middleware , now the flash will stay at a few pages, random timing and frequency each time I submit.

• I tried to remove the whole middleware, things started to work normally. The flash will only happen once. Without the Web& Auth middleware.

I cant afford to not have middleware , so please advice. I have 3 Route::groups.With middleware inplace, I tried to re-flash on the GET which the POST is redirecting to but it also wont work.

laravel config.database.php changing 'strict' mode to true blocks "mysqli_connect" to fail connecting remote database

I am using Laravel for a bit of time and at one point in order to solve "created_at column does not have default value" error, I modified the config/database.php file by setting 'strict'=true.

That solved my problem, but after setting it true I am not able to connect to remote database using "mysqli_connect" for which I was able to connect before this change. I set that 'strict' mode back to false but it still fails to connect the external database using "mysqli_connect" function.

I tried to clear the cashes and look into .env file but nothing helps. I am very stuck with this, any help would be very appreciated.

laravel: get name of active log at runtime

I need to know the name of the current log in an app laravel 5.

Try search for this on Iluminate\Log\Writer.

Only see $path var on call to some functions, but i don't understand how to get this value.

Basically I needs to compress file and send if app get some exceptions. For this I need to know the name of active log.

My app conf log for daily rotation, and see name of logs such laravel-2016-04-29.log

I know the name using php, but I imagine it is possible to know using the Log class itself

Laravel 5 routes and mod_rewrite

I have a simple routes.php file, that looks like this:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'cors', 'prefix' => 'api'], function () {
  Route::post('users', 'Api\UsersController@save');
  Route::get('users/{userId}/leagues/', 'Api\UsersController@saveFavoriteLeague');
});

Once I put my application to server, I couldn't get to any of the routes executed. I was getting 404 exception.

I tried to make an obvious error in routes.php file, by putting 123 at the top of the file. Then I hit http://ift.tt/1Ta85KB, and I was expecting error page, that there is a syntax error, but that didn't happen (still getting 404). However, when adding something like this:

Route::get('/', function() {
   return 'Hello';
});

and hitting home route mydomain.com, I was able to see at first syntax error, and then after fixing it, Hello.

I spent hours until I discovered that mod_rewrite, wasn't enabled on the remote server.

Can someone put more light on this? Why my requests didn't reach routes.php (not even to show that there is an syntax error), but instead 404 page was returned. Why mod_rewrite made it to work? How could / reached the route.php, but /users e.g. didn't?

Thanks!

Why am I getting a MethodNotAllowedHttpException on a resourceful route?

I keep getting a MethodNotAllowedHttpException error on a resourceful route that I have set up. The patch/put requests exist when I run php artisan route:list, my form refers to jobs.update and passes on the id. I use this same process for all of the application's other modules without such an issue. Any ideas where the exception might be coming from?

My routes file:

// Authentication routes...
Route::get('auth/login', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogin');
Route::post('auth/login', 'Auth\AuthController@postLogin');
Route::get('auth/logout', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogout');

// Registration routes...
Route::get('auth/register', 'Auth\AuthController@getRegister');
Route::post('auth/register', 'Auth\AuthController@postRegister');

//Homepage...
Route::get('/', function () { return view('homepage'); });

// Resourceful modules...
Route::resource('conferences', 'ConferencesController');
Route::resource('pages', 'PagesController');
Route::resource('jobs', 'JobsController');
Route::resource('admin/menu', 'MenuItemsController');



// Actions...
Route::put('admin/menu/{id}/promote', [
    'as' => 'admin.menu.promote', 'uses' => 'MenuItemsController@promote'
]);
Route::put('admin/menu/{id}/demote', [
    'as' => 'admin.menu.promote', 'uses' => 'MenuItemsController@demote'
]);
Route::get('{parent}/{slug}', 'PagesController@show');
Route::get('{slug}', 'PagesController@showSlug');

My update method:

    /**

Displaying loading animation while waiting

I have a button like so

{!! link_to_route('jobs.createJob', 'Create Job', $job->id, array('class' => 'btn btn-info')) !!}

So this route calls a function which does something like this

public function createJob(Job $job) {
    $createJob = Helper::createNewJob($job);
    $createJobXML = new \SimpleXMLElement($createJob);
    if($createJobXML->Status == 'OK') {
        $job->jobNumber = $createJobXML->Job->ID;
        if($job->update()) {
            $assignStaff = Helper::assignStaffToJob($job);
            $assignStaffXML = new \SimpleXMLElement($assignStaff);
            if($assignStaffXML->Status == 'OK'){
                $createQuoteForJob = Helper::createQuoteForJob($job);
                $createQuoteForJobXML = new \SimpleXMLElement($createQuoteForJob);
                if($createQuoteForJobXML->Status == 'OK'){
                    $job->quoteId = $createQuoteForJobXML->ID;
                    if($job->update()) {
                        return View::make('jobs.show', compact('job'));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return View::make('campaigns.show', compact('job'));
}

So there is quite a lot going on which involves hitting several API methods to insert data into a system. This process can sometimes take a few seconds, and I do not want them being able to click the submit button again, so I want to show them a loading screen while this happens.

If I was making this request via ajax I could simple use ajaxStart and ajaxComplete. However, I am not using ajax, so is there another way I could do this within Laravel 5?

Thanks

Laravel 5.2 - Multiple relations

This is my first Laravel 5 project.

DB tables Image

I have a 'members'-function in my Group controller with the following code:

public function members() {
    return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'group_members')->withPivot('status', 'right_id')->withTimestamps();
}

When I call this function it will return the members of a specific function.

Now I want to call a function called 'rights' or something like that, which will return the right_id and the type of the 'rights' table in a single line of code.

Now when I want the right_id of a member I use this line:

$group->members->where('id', Auth::user()->id)->first()->pivot->right_id

But then I dont have the 'rights'-type because the right_id is in the 'group_members'-table.

I want it to work something like this:

$group->members->where('id', Auth::user()->id)->first()->rights

I hope that this is enough information to give me some advice, or even a solution for this problem.

I know this could also be done by making a custom query, but I like the way Laravel works.

How can I optimize my Model/DB Query relationship?

I have a Recipe Eloquent model. With so many relationships it was too inefficient (read "slow") to use for a RESTful API response. I get much better performance using the DB query shown below, and then the cache on top of that takes what took up to 30 seconds before and delivers it in less than a second. I understand that maybe a better method would be to have a single flat table for API request such as the one shown below, but that isn't immediately possible.

So...

1. I'd like to have all of my recipe methods continue to live in one place, whether it be an Eloquent model or elsewhere. Should the query below be a method within my model?
2. Can my DB query be done in Eloquent without sacrificing performance?
3. If the query below cannot live within my model, is there any literature on where a DB query should live so that it is easier to manage the object and keep it scalable?

Details:

$recipes = Cache::remember("query-recipe-all-{$this->getLocation()}-{$this->getItemsPerPage()}-{$request->input("start")}-{$request->input("end")}", $cacheExpireAfterMinute, function () {

Stripe update an existing customers card

having an issue with stripe at the moment. I believe I'm missing something incredibly simple here.

So on a project of mine customers can buy products and all the payments are handled with stripe. When a customer first uses stripe to make a payment i create a customer within stripe and store their id in my db. If they already exist i retrieve the customer and update the card (or try to)

This is my code

        // check if we already have their stripe info
        if ($customer->stripe_id != NULL) {
            $stripe_customer = \Stripe\Customer::retrieve($customer->stripe_id);
            $stripe_customer->card = $input['stripe_token'];
        } else {
            $stripe_customer = \Stripe\Customer::create([
                'card' => $input['stripe_token'],
                'email' => $customer->email,
                'description' => 'Customer #' . $customer->id,
            ]);
            $this->customersRepo->update($customer->id, ['stripe_id' => $stripe_customer->id]);
        }

        // charge accordingly
        $charge = \Stripe\Charge::create([
            'customer' => $stripe_customer->id,
            'amount' => $order->order_total * 100,
            'description' => 'Payment for order #' . $order->order_ref . ' from ' . route('home'),
            'currency' => 'gbp',
            'metadata' => [
                'order_ref' => '#' . $order->order_ref,
                'customer_id' => $customer->id,
                'customer_name' => $customer->user->present()->fullName,
                'customer_email' => $customer->user->email
            ]
        ]);

Which all works perfectly fine but when I try to pay with a different card it uses the card previously supplied so the customer doesn't seem to be updating?

For example, I am using the test card number 4242424242424242 to simulate a normal payment which is fine and works correctly.

But when I try to use 4000000000000002 to simulate a card error on the same customer it still goes through as paid, which leads me to believe the previous card is being used.

Any way around this or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Laravel listener subscribe to all events

I know that I can put a list of all the events but it's just stupid.

public function subscribe($events)
{
    $events->listen(
        'App\Events\UserLoggedIn',
        'App\Listeners\UserEventListener@onUserLogin'
    );

    $events->listen(
        'App\Events\UserLoggedOut',
        'App\Listeners\UserEventListener@onUserLogout'
    );
}

I'd like to use some sort of wildcart. Is it possible?

Can't parse array to view.

Here is the array

 Array (

        return ($User->hasRole($comptable)) ? $next($request) : response(view('errors.503'),401);

}

Set a short name by editing Kernel.php file:

<?php namespace App\Http;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;

class Kernel extends HttpKernel {

    /**
     * The application's global HTTP middleware stack.

        'Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse',
        'Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession',
        'Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession',
        'App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken',

    /**

        'update' => 'App\Http\Middleware\UpdateInfos',
        'delete' => 'App\Http\Middleware\DeleteInfos',
    ];

}

And adding the middleware to Routes file:

Route::get('profile/diplomes'           ,['middleware'=>'create:comptable','uses'=>'ProfileFormsController@getFormDiplomes']);
Route::post('profile/diplomes'          ,['middleware'=>'create:comptable','uses'=>'ProfileFormsController@postDiplomes']);

Google/YouTube API Refresh token required

So basically. I know that you request first auth and only get refresh token once per app. And this means, you need to use that refresh token, to grab another access token. Which my application is doing perfectly, although.. once it refreshes the token, I'm getting errors saying my application needs another refresh_token to continue, although I just refreshed using the token and have obtained an access token.

So i don't understand where I go from here? the only thing I know to do is throw the user back into sign in screen once again. And that's just damn annoying, since we want them to link their accounts once and allow access

How to refresh values in laravel models where enums are replaced with values?

So I came across a weird issue while writing tests in laravel using factories. So this is a test I wrote:

/**
 @test
 */
public function document_belongs_to_a_patent()
{
    $patent = factory(Patent::class)->create();

    $document = factory(Document::class)->create([
        'documentable_id' => $patent->id,
        'documentable_type' => 'patent'
    ]);

    $this->assertArraySubset($patent->toArray(), $document->documentable->toArray());
}

So this should work, right because both should return the same thing and patent array should be equal or a subset of documentable array. But it was failing when I realised that there is an enum field in Patent model to which I am passing the value 1 but it was converted to the enum equivalent value in the database and when I tried document->documentable->toArray() it came back with the enum value rather than 1 which got me thinking how can make the model factory return the actual enum value and not the index number.

Top of the head I just fetched the patent just after creating it via the factory like so:

$patent = Patent::find($patent->id);

And it works well but it seems inconsistent. Is there a way to refresh models. I know we can refresh relationships of models but is there a way to do for the models themselves?

How to optimise hadle of big data on laravel?

Everyone! I have some problem. My task is: "To take transactions table, grouped row by transaction date and calculate statuses. This manipulations will be formed statistics, wich will be rendered on the page".

This is my method of this statistics generation

public static function getStatistics(Website $website = null)
    {
        if($website == null) return [];

        $query = \DB::table('transactions')->where("website_id", $website->id)->orderBy("dt", "desc")->get();

        $transitions = collect(static::convertDate($query))->groupBy("dt");
        $statistics = collect();

        dd($transitions);

        foreach ($transitions as $date => $trans) {
            $subscriptions = $trans->where("status", 'subscribe')->count();
            $unsubscriptions = $trans->where("status", 'unsubscribe')->count();
            $prolongations = $trans->where("status", 'rebilling')->count();
            $redirections = $trans->where("status", 'redirect_to_lp')->count();
            $conversion = $redirections == 0 ? 0 : ((float) ($subscriptions / $redirections));
            $earnings = $trans->sum("pay");

            $statistics->push((object)[
                "date" => $date,
                "subscriptions" => $subscriptions,
                'unsubscriptions' => $unsubscriptions,
                'prolongations' => $prolongations,
                'redirections' => $redirections,
                'conversion' => round($conversion, 2),
                'earnings' => $earnings,
            ]);

        }

        return $statistics;
    }

if count of transaction rows below 100,000 - it's all wright. But, if count is above 150-200k - nginx throw 502 bad gateway. What can you advise to me? I'm dont' have any expierince in bigdata handling. May be, my impiments has fundamental error?

Thanks.

How can I more organize this Laravel DB query?

The following query is to get immediate subordinates of a node and it's really hard for me to figure out how to organize this raw SQL query into simple and readable Laravel expressions using Laravel query builder. Any suggestion?

DB::select('SELECT node.name, 
(COUNT(parent.name) - (sub_tree.depth + 1)) AS depth 
FROM categories AS node, categories AS parent, 
categories AS sub_parent, 
( SELECT node.name, (COUNT(parent.name) - 1) AS depth 
    FROM categories AS node, categories AS parent 
    WHERE node.lft BETWEEN parent.lft AND parent.rgt 
    AND node.id = :id GROUP BY node.name ORDER BY node.lft) AS sub_tree 
WHERE node.lft BETWEEN parent.lft AND parent.rgt 
    AND node.lft BETWEEN sub_parent.lft AND sub_parent.rgt 
    AND sub_parent.name = sub_tree.name 
GROUP BY node.name 
HAVING depth = 1 
ORDER BY node.lft', ['id'=>$this->attributes['id']]);

Does Laravel5 transaction work or not if I create method instead of using eloquent or query builder in my controller method

I'm so concern about my operation to used Mysql statement like update, delete, insert and within Laravel Eloquent or Query builder because I've create more Mysql statement with more conditional inside of my method in Controller so if one of that conditional or something occurs or meet any problem during I'm processing my method in controller Method I will lost my information or data my data which I want to insert or update to my database.

As below function I used setNotification() which I create in Notification Model and I have method inside that Model which I want to call it to post_data is a method in Controller so if I do so does DB::beginTransaction() will work or not because I prefer to keep all Mysql statement inside all method in Model.

now I currently using Laravel Transaction with Try catch

public function post_data() {

  if (Request::ajax() && $this->CheckPermId_from_session(90)) {

     $res = null;

     $data = [//Input data];
     $data['tranx_time'] = date("y-m-d H:m:s", time());
     $val = Validator::make($data, $rules);
     if ($val->fails()) {

           $res = ['res' => false, 'form' => false, 'data', $data];
     } else {

           DB::beginTransaction();
           try {

          //$update = Teller::where('id', '=', Request::input('teller_till_id'))->update(array('balance' => Request::input('tell_balance')));
           $updateTeller = Teller::where('id', '=', Request::input('chief_till_id'))->update(array('balance' => Request::input('last_chief_balance')));
          $insertId = DB::table('till_transaction')->insertGetId($data);
    if ($insertId && $updateTeller) {
          $this->notification->setNotification([$data['to_account'], json_encode($this->group_code), $insertId, Request::input('chief_till_id'), $data['type'], date("Y-m-d H:m:s", time()), $data['type']]);
          $res = ['res' => true, 'data', $data];

Change S3 Endpoint in Laravel

Encountered a permanent redirect while requesting http://ift.tt/247QTkd... Are you sure you are using the correct region for this bucket?

I then try to acces the url and I get this message:

The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint.

On the same page I get:

<Endpoint>s3.amazonaws.com</Endpoint>

Then how could I remove the region from the URL Laravel generates?

Laravel 5 : Is it possible to use __construct() and Illuminate\Http\Request for testcase classes?

I'm trying dependency injection for test cases, wondering if it is possible to do that for testing.

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PageController extends Controller
{
    protected $request;
    protected $user;

public function __construct(Request $request, User $user)
{
    $this->user    = $user;
    $this->request = $request;
}

This is how I usually do dependency injection. For example, the following line gets an array instance of all the users.

$users = $this->user->all();

I'd like to do the same thing for 'TestCase'. Here is an excerpt of the code.

use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ViewTest extends TestCase
{
    protected $request;
    protected $user;

public function __construct(Request $request, User $user)
{
    $this->user    = $user;
    $this->request = $request;
}

This causes the following error.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to ViewTest::__construct() must be an instance of Illuminate\Http\Request, none given, called in phar

It sounds like that __construct() must be an instance of Request, but I don't understand what it actually means, since this code works in, let's say controller classes.

I've searched Laravel's documentation, but I'm not really sure if it's possible to do dependency injection for testing.

I'd appreciate if you would give any advice.

Is splitting an index action into multiple ones a restful-friendly approach?

I need to display two different index pages to two different user groups. For example, a regular user should see one page, and a privileged user - another one. I see two ways of approaching this issue:

One index action with conditionals:

public function index()
{
    // view for privileged users
    if(request()->user()->hasRole('privileged')){
        return view('index_privileged');
    }

    // view for regular users
    if(request()->user()->hasRole('regular')){
        return view('index_regular');
    }

    return redirect('/');
}

Multiple actions:

public function index_privileged()
{
    return view('index_privileged');
}

public function index_regular()
{
    return view('index_regular');
}

Which approach is more "restful-friendly" and generally better?

Image is saving as tmp file in database laravel

Before explaining the problem. Let me show the controller function:

public function storePost(IdeaRequest $request)
{
   $idea = new Idea();
   $idea->idea_title       = $request->input('idea_title');
   $idea->user_id          = $request->input('user_id');
   $idea->idea_image       = $request->file('idea_image')->move('publicPages\images')->getClientOriginalName();
   $idea->idea_info        = $request->input('idea_info');
   $idea->selection        = $request->input('selection');
   $idea->idea_location    = $request->input('idea_location');
   $idea->idea_goal        = $request->input('idea_goal');
   $idea->idea_description = $request->input('idea_description');
   $idea->save();
   session()->flash('flash_message', 'Your idea has been submitted for Review');
   return back();
}

It stores the image as .tmp file. Things I have tried out

• guessExtension(), It just returns the extension name and does not even store the image.

• getClientOriginalName(), it throws an error; getClientOriginalName method is not defined. I have searched the method and it is in there. used its namespace Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile. it did not work either.

• Tried different things out from stackoverflow, Nothing has worked for me till now. In other words, i have invested a lot of time to solve this problem but nothing worked. Any help would highly be appreciated.

My controller file reads (ive redacted code -- the issue is 100% this portion of code, as it works if I just pass messages to the view:

<?php

class SearchController extends BaseController {

public function search()
{
    $search = Input::get("Search_Input");
    $search_terms = explode(",", $search);
    $search_query_type = Input::get("search_type");
    $search_type = 'null';

    if ($search_type === "Rep_Name") {
       $users = Users::all();
       return Redirect::to('/search')->with('users', $users);
     }
}

My search view has this code:

    @foreach($users as $name)
        
    @endforeach

My database has a users table and a Name row.

The laravel.log error I get is:

[2016-04-28 19:32:30] production.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Class 'Users' not found' in /home3/circates/public_html/jon/repform/app/controllers/SearchController.php:50

Can't access request parameters inside a middleware

I want to retrieve an id in the custom middleware that runs after following route: /quiz/1/edit. I expect, that the $route should contain 'id' => 1, but it doesn't. Why is that?

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    dd($request->all()); // --> []
    . . .
}

The route declaration:

Route::resource('quiz', 'QuizzesController');

How to check if user owns a record with Entrust?

I want to allow users to CRUD only posts they own. I would like not to create a new middleware, but to leverage the existing ones instead. So, Can Entrust's default middlewares be extended to fit this purpose?

class PostsController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
        $this->middleware('role:blogger|owner'); // <--
    }

Test external package in Laravel

In my package I have a lot of facade calls and IoC container resolutions. None of these work outside of laravel framework infrastructure.

So how do I unit-test my package?

How to use Entrust middleware inside a controller?

It is described in Entrust docs how to use middlewares with routes, but I could not find any instructions regarding their usage in controllers.

An example of what I want to do:

class QuizzesController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
        $this->middleware('role:admin|root'); // <---
    }

    ...
}

As you understand, this code does not work. How can I achieve the illustrated behavior?

Getting error while inserting data to mysql database

Laravel 5 download MSI response crashes

I am having a problem with downloading a .msi file from the server. The moment I open up the link, my command line crashes directly (I assume my server as well, cause I have to boot it up again each time it crashes).

While .msi crashes, I have tried doing it with a .pkg file, and it downloads with no problem!

Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Or do I have to put something extra for downloading a .msi file?

Here is my code in the routing:

// Instant crash
Route::get('/download/windows', function(){

   return response()->download(storage_path() . "\\Game\\game.msi");

});

// Works perfectly
Route::get('/download/mac', function(){

   return response()->download(storage_path() . "\\Game\\game.pkg");

});

laravel how to database seed with two different classes that have the same collection name?

I am trying to create a semi Single Table Inheritance using Eloquent (I am using MongoDB but that doesn't matter):

I have a class Person that has the collection people. The person class has a role attribute. One of the roles is 'athlete'.

Then, I created another class Athlete that extends Person. I have set up class like the following:

 class Athlete extends Person {
      protected $collection = 'people';

      public $role = 'athlete';
 }

When I do database seed to both generic person and athlete. Here is my model factory:

$factory->define(App\Modules\User\Models\User::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
    $password = str_random(10);
    return [
        'name' => $faker->name,
        'email' => $faker->safeEmail,
        'password' => bcrypt($password),
        'password_raw' => $password,
        'remember_token' => str_random(10),
        'role' => 'admin'
    ];
});

$factory->define(App\Modules\Athletes\Models\Athlete::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
    $password = str_random(10);
    $sports = ['Triathlon', 'Wrestling', 'Swimming', 'Archery', 'Rowing', 'Tennis', 'Road cycling', 'Diving', 'Boxing', 'Badminton'];
    return [
        'name' => $faker->name,
        'email' => $faker->safeEmail,
        'password' => bcrypt($password),
        'remember_token' => str_random(10),
        'sports' => $sports[$faker->biasedNumberBetween(0, 9)],
        'role' => 'athlete'
    ];
});

When I do php artisan db:seed the output shows that both seed classes UserDatabaseSeeder and AthleteDatabaseSeeder is seeded. However, when I test the database, it only shows 10 values from athlete seeder. Here are the seeders:

class AthleteDatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{

    public function run()
    {
        Model::unguard();
        factory(Athlete::class, 10)->create();
        Model::reguard();
    }
}

class UserDatabaseSeeder extends Seeder {

    public function run() {
        Model::unguard();
        factory(User::class, 10)->create();
        Model::reguard();
    }
}

How can I make the seeder work?

Thank you!

Undefined offset:1- Laravel Error exception

I Know there are several links referred to this error but still I am unable to find the exact solution of my issue. I have two check-boxes named admin_menu_id[] and admin_sub_menu_id[] whose value i want to insert into database. So far I have done this:-

View page

 @if(is_array($roledatas) && count($roledatas)>0)
    <?php $count = 1;?>
    @foreach($roledatas as $roleKey=>$roleVal)
        <ul id="package_" class="accordion-toggle parentclasstr" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#OrderPackages" data-target=".packageDetails">

            <li><input type="checkbox" id="menuChk" value= "<?php echo $id = $roleVal['id']; ?>" name="admin_menu_id[]" /><strong></strong></li>
            <li><i class="indicator glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-up pull-right"></i></li>                        

        @if(isset($roleVal['child']) && is_array($roleVal['child']) && count($roleVal['child'])>0)
            @foreach($roleVal['child'] as $childKey=>$childVal)
        <ul class="hiddenRow collapse packageDetails" bgcolor="#C1C1C1">

            <li><input type="checkbox" id="submenuChk" value="<?php echo $id = $childVal['id']; ?>" name="admin_sub_menu_id[]" /></li>
            <li></li>
        </ul>
            @endforeach
        @endif
        </ul>
        <?php $count++; ?>
    @endforeach
@endif

Controller:-

$data = $request->all();
    $user_type_id = $data['user_type_id'];
    $admin_menu_id = $data['admin_menu_id'];
    $admin_sub_menu_id = $data['admin_sub_menu_id'];

    for ($i = 0; $i < count($data['admin_sub_menu_id']); $i++)
    {
        $role = new RoleMenu;
        $role->user_type_id = $user_type_id;
        $role->admin_menu_id = $admin_menu_id[$i];
        $role->admin_sub_menu_id = $admin_sub_menu_id[$i];
        $role->save();
    }

It inserts data when i check one admin_menu_id checkbox and one admin_sub_menu_id checkbox but when try to check more than one it throws an error of Undefined Offset. I am completely new to laravel and these array games!! Kindly help me out on this.

How to limit the number of simultaneous sessions in Laravel 5?

I'm building a web-app using Laravel 5.2 and I need to limit number of simultaneous user sessions. Is this possible using default file based session driver? Or should I use database / redis / whatever driver? The question is what could be the simplest approach when I only care about max connected users / sessions and not the performance?

How to get list of users in laravel 5

I am working over a project. I have required some basic values in different routes. e.g. show the list of users, locations, products in different pages/routes. So i wanted to create a common method for these like where i want to show list of users i will call the method for user and pass this list to view.

I've tried the following method

$usersArr = User::where('loc_id', session('organization'))->where('status', '!=', 'Deleted')->orderBy('id', 'desc')->lists('username', 'id');

So i wanted to know which is best place to define these type of methods. Should i define this in Model,Controller or create some type of common functions.

configure 1and1 mail on google cloud platform with laravel 5

I have setup an instance in google cloud platform. I am running laravel 5.2 project on that instance. Everything is working good but i am facing some issues while configuring 1and1 mail.

I know that google cloud platform is blocked the 587,465 and 25 port by default and we can setup some vpn which will help to remove this restriction. But i don't want to go in that way because it would have security problems.

I have tried to send email through smtp and mail driver. I am getting connection failure error through smtp driver, and through mail driver, it shows that email is sent but i am not getting the email in my inbox. Here is my .env file for mail driver settings for 1and1. I have also tried 25 port also.

MAIL_DRIVER=mail
MAIL_HOST=auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=test@mydomain.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=pass
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Can you please help me to configure it?

Laravel Repository pattern and many to many relation

In our new project we decided to use hexagonal architecture. We decided to use repository pattern to gain more data access abstraction. We are using command bus pattern as service layer. In our dashboard page we need a lot of data and because of that we should use 3 level many to many relations (user -> projects -> skills -> review) and also skills should be active(status=1).

The problem rises here, where should i put this?

1. $userRepository->getDashboardData($userId).

2.$userRepository->getUser($userId)->withProjects()->withActiveSkills()->withReviews();

3.$user = $userRepository->getById(); $projects = $projectRepository->getByUserId($user->id); $skills = $skillRepository->getActiveSkillsByProjectsIds($projectIds);

In this case, I couldn't find the benefits of repository pattern except coding to interface which can be achived with model interfac. I think solution 3 is prefect but it adds a lot of work.

Laravel 5.1: Auth::logout() is not working and BindingResolutionsException is not instantiable error

I'm new in laravel and I try to build a simple Authentication. All the things works fine except when using AuthController's action to log out, it just simply doesn't work. I have a nav bar which checks for Auth::check() and it doesn't change after calling the log out action and it stocks in home page. but after making few changes like deleting this manual logout code in SessionController:

public function logout()
    {
        Auth::logout();
        Session::flush();
        return redirect()->intended('login');
    }

and changing the rout from this:

Route::get('logout', 'SessionsController@logout');

to this:

Route::get('auth/logout', 'Auth\AuthController@logout');

it throws this error:

BindingResolutionException in Container.php line 749: Target [Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Registrar] is not instantiable. 

I have this route inside the routes.php file:

Route::get('auth/logout', 'Auth\AuthController@logout');

and my AuthController is the controller that laravel providing us.

my SessionsController that handled logout before the changes but actually not work either is:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class SessionsController extends Controller

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest');
    }

    /**
     * Show the login page.
     *
     * @return \Response
     */
    public function login()
    {
        return view('auth.login');
    }

    /**
     * Perform the login.
     *

    public function postLogin(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, ['username' => 'required|exists:users', 'password' => 'required']);

        if ($this->signIn($request)) {
            flash('Welcome back!');

            return redirect()->intended('dashboard');

        }

        flash('Could not sign you in.');

        return redirect()->back();
    }

    /**
     * Destroy the user's current session.
     *
     * @return \Redirect
     */
    public function logout()
    {
        Auth::logout();
        Session::flush();
        return redirect()->intended('login');
    }

    /**
     * Attempt to sign in the user.
     *
     * @param  Request $request
     * @return boolean
     */
    protected function signIn(Request $request)
    {
        return Auth::attempt($this->getCredentials($request), $request->has('remember'));
    }

    /**
     * Get the login credentials and requirements.
     *
     * @param  Request $request

    protected function getCredentials(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            'username' => $request->input('username'),
            'password' => $request->input('password'),
            'verified' => true
        ];
    }


}

And here is the AuthController __construct method:

public function __construct(Guard $auth, Registrar $registrar)
    {
        $this->auth = $auth;
        $this->registrar = $registrar;
        $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => ['logout', 'getLogout']]);

    }

Please help me as soon as possible. Any help would be appreciated.
