    The main issue with that is querying for the images within the twill module. I've used the slug repository code to get the twill content including images for my other page but the ideal scenario is to not have it go off a slug for my new page.
  • i
    if you are trying to hardcode which twill record is being pulled on that page, by slug is definitely not the right way to go as that slug could change in the CMS. So you either use a column in that module with an identifier that you store in a constant in your code to then query by it. you know what I mean? Ideally the page you're talking about could also have it's form in Twill where you can select that other module. But if you don't want to do that you have to somehow pull the record out of the database like in any other Laravel application.

    Hardcoding is bad, but here you can use dynamic queries.
    Copy code
    php
Route::get('/{twillslug}', 'CustomController@index');
    Copy code
    php
// CustomController.php
use App\Models\Model;

public function index($twillslug)
{
    // I assume that slug is named slug in Twill
    $post = Model::where('slug', $twillslug)
            ->firstOrFail();
}
    Its basic Laravel. Here it will return 404 if not found slug.

    I'm sorry I'm just a beginner with Laravel (2 months). So instead how would it work with the postID?
    Copy code
    $journey = $this->repository->forSlug($id);
        abort_unless($journey, 404, 'Journey');
  • i
    Journey::find(1)
  • i
  • i
    Journey is an eloquent model that you can query as you wish
  • i
    you don't have to use the repository to read from a Twill module, you can use the model itself
  • t
    I understand what your suggesting although that means that a repository is not needed
    Copy code
    protected $relatedBrowsers = ['clients'];
    where would this go (which is in the repository) if i just query per normal?
  • i
    this is for the CMS, the frontend doesn't need this. On a Journey model instance, you can call 
    ->getRelated('clients')
  • t
    When using @php in the blade:
  • t
    the main journey module is coming through fine with a normal query, it's just this related content giving an issue
  • i
    App\Models\Journey
  • i
    do you have both 
    App\Models\Journey
    and 
    App\Journey
    ?
  • t
    only
    Copy code
    App\Journey
    , when I put
    Copy code
    App\Models\Journey
    it throws this:
  • i
    hmm, is Journey supposed to be a Twill module?
  • i
    if it is, the model is supposed to be under a models folder, not at the root of app
  • t
    Journey is a twill module but also it's a app/journey file aswell
  • i
    why do you need the app/journey one?
  • t
    it's what we've used from the start it holds;
    Copy code
    class Journey extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'journey_translations';
    protected $primaryKey = 'id';

    public function client(){
        return $this->belongsTo('App\Client');
    }

    public function category(){
        return $this->belongsTo('App\Category');
    }
}
  • i
    they are connected to the same db table, you shouldn't need 2. The problem you're having is that the app one doesn't use Twill traits so doesn't understand things like ->image or ->getRelated
  • i
    those relationships should be in the Twill model, and you don't need this file at all
  • t
    Thank you, solved!
  • i
    awesome 😎

    Weirdly enough I was trying to setup the inputs so that the browser selection sends the ID of other module into database but didnt make it work. Reverted back to what I had before and now the name fields don't show up weird.
  • t
    the fields are called clients and categories at the moment (same as the module name), is there a way to get them to react to client_id & category_id in the table or do i need to rename my database table fields to clients & categories?
  • s
    hello guys, is there a way to conditionally display available blocks based on another fields value?
  • k
  • s
    unfortunately it does not work with block editors
  • s
    https://github.com/area17/twill/pull/918 + conditional field does not quite work because in the editor you still see all the editors in the dropdown
