  • u
    Cause it now looks like it isn't set
  • u
    Even tho it is in the db
  • u
    I almost moved over my full posts and categories table and that is the most important part 🙂 Than Ill continue with the authors and I have twill mostly working 🙂
  • i
    where and how is it stored in db? in the 
    mediables
    table? Twill is not going to render anything in a 
    medias
    field if it is not stored the way Twill does.
  • u
    Medias table
  • u
    Mediables is empty tho
  • i
    that's the files themselves, not the relationship to your posts, mediables is polymorphic and stores all relationships between your modules and the actual uploaded files in the media library
  • u
    Ok, so it has been never connected to the post?
  • u
    Dangit
  • u
    Didn't think of this, what stupid!
  • u
    Copy code
    php
public $mediasParams = [
        'cover' => [
            'thumbnail' => [
                [
                    'name' => 'free',
                    'ratio' => 0,
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ];
  • i
    I'd suggest you attach an image and save from the CMS UI to understand what it does in db if you want to migrate
  • i
    replace cover by thumbnail and thumbnail by default in your snippet
  • u
    Alright
  • u
    So the first key is the key that it will save to and the second one is what?
  • u
    Type of size?
  • i
    name of the crop
  • u
    Alright. I might want to create a small docs for Twill if I get more used to it. Like a straight and simple one.
  • u
    So I can explain this. I think a bigger community would do very good and that might help
  • u
    Thanks! Works like a charm 🙂

    I've got an issue with adding Blocks to the project, I keep getting the following error:
    Copy code
    Block paragraph does not exists or the mandatory property 'title' was not found on this block. If you are still using blocks on the twill.php file, please check if the block is present and properly configured.
    I've been following the tutorial videos step by step, after creating the 
    views/admin/blocks/
    folder with content inside it I'm unable to use 
    php artisan
    commands anymore.
  • u
    As soon as I delete the folder contents, the error stops popping up.
  • p
    Do you get this error message when running 
    php artisan
    ?
  • u
    Yeah
  • p
    Are you defining your block in 
    twill.php
    config?
  • i
    @User can you share your block view? also I'm assuming you're using configuration based blocks definition like in the video, and like @User is asking? you might want to check the updated block editor documentation here: https://twill.io/docs/#creating-a-block-editor, which doesn't need configuration in the 
    twill.php
    file anymore.
  • u
    Yes, it's defined inside 
    twill.php
    as
    Copy code

  • u
    What is the last version of twill which still uses blocks being defined as in the video? 
    Edit: Got my answer.
  • u
    Also, what do you mean by the 
    block
    view? I've only got separate views which reference names from 
    twill.php
    inside 
    views/admin/blocks
    and the part which renders those blocks inside 
    views/site/blocks
  • p
    Yep, sounds good! So on Twill >= 2.2, you can omit the configuration in 
    twill.php
    , and use the 
    @twillBlockX()
    directives to configure directly in the Blade views
