10/14/2021, 6:38 AMHey, I just wanted to ask if I understand correctly that Twill is meant to be used with all fields ->nullable() in order to use the Draft feature? - d

10/14/2021, 8:31 AMHi @Sami I'm not sure I get your point. Do you mean the create modal? If you'd like users to not be able to create records with nullable fields you can skip it (
in indexOptions)skipCreateModal - i

10/14/2021, 8:37 AMNeed your help. 😉 When we use twill, it support file upload. so i see the files table in database. What i need to do, is to upload the files from frontend, and manage it in twill admin. Is that possible? If possible, how can i achieve it? - i
ifox
10/14/2021, 8:40 AMdoesn't look like it's finding it. Are you setting a titleColumnKey or custom browserColumns in your controller? - d
delta107
10/14/2021, 8:42 AMdocumentation doesn't say anything about controllers, do I need to do something with the controller for the browsers? - i

10/14/2021, 8:43 AMHi. This seems more like a generic Laravel question. If there is a table in db, surely Laravel can help you write to it. Are you more asking for the UI part? I don't think you should use Twill's UI in your frontend, but you can definitely store files in the files table from a frontend route and then you'll see them in Twill - i

10/14/2021, 8:43 AMYou don't, i was asking in case you had done anything custom - i

10/14/2021, 8:44 AMso /admin/products shows a list of product titles no problem? - i
ifox
10/14/2021, 8:44 AMit's quite weird that if that is working fine the browser would act differently - d

10/14/2021, 9:16 AMHi all! Two questions: 1. What is the correct way to grab an image from a setting?
seems to return null with an image. Instead I'm using the following but it feels like a hack.app(A17\Twill\Repositories\SettingRepository::class)->byKey()
2. Are there built-in methods for more advanced imagine manipulation features (eg. the mask feature on Imgix)? Or would be manipulating the URL that is returned by the image fuction the best way?A17\Twill\Models\Setting::where('key', 'cover')->first()->image('cover', 'desktop')
