I'm starting to use Docker with Laravel, so I installed Laradock inside my existing Laravel project following the documentation, every step until the command docker-compose up -d nginx mysql the first time the command works and I can use my application. Then I've used the command docker-compose stop and of course I can't reach my site because the webserver is off running again docker-compose up -d nginx mysql I obtain this error ERROR: for laradock_mysql_1 Cannot start service mysql: error while creating mount source path '/host_mnt/c/xampp/htdocs/laratest/laradock/mysql/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d': mkdir /host_mnt/c/xampp/htdocs/laratest: file exists I've already tried docker-compose down before to run again the up command, but with no luck why does this happen? How do I correctly stop Docker and restart again? P.S. You see the path c/xampp/htdocs, that is where my projects are (until now I was used to use xampp for developing webapps on my local machine), but xampp is now not started, so it doesn't have any effect on Docker. I'm on a Windows 10 machine

Hi I’m trying to develop an online application that will allow ‘Candidates’ to book on courses that “Providers” have posted. The application is going to have 4 different types of users, please see attached ‘Figure 1.4 - JobSkilla User Permissions & Roles.jpg’ all of which have different information associated with them. On first signup of a provider they will complete a company profile and a user will be created as the owner associated with that “Provider” that user will then be able to invite their team members (Team associations) to share the same “Provider” data but with restricted access to areas such as billing / invoives. I’m going to be building the application using laravel 5.2, I still want to use laravels Auth but how can I allow multiple auths? I was thinking of having a table called “Auth” that could manage the logins with a forging key to the ‘candidates’, ‘providers’ table. What’s the best way of handling multiple logins that are associated with 1 “Provider”? I’ve attached a EER diagram with the current database design this may be incomplete. I wanted to ask for some guidance with the best way to program/db design the project. I would appreciate if anyone can give me a better solution or point me in the right direction. I don't mind paying for advice. JobSkilla EER Diagram.pdf

I currently have an array that I've built that dumps like this: 0 => array:11 [▼ "category_code" => "123" "category_name" => "Testing" "category_description" => "This is a test category" 19738 => array:5 [▼ "identifier" => "720368842943" "description" => Test Description One "count" => 4 "details" => array:2 [▼ 0 => array:3 [▼ "detail_code" => "2751" "detail_code2" => "43" "detail_specifier" => "Detail One" ] 1 => array:3 [▼ "detail_code" => "2681" "detail_code2" => "9" "detail_specifier" => "Detail Two" ] ] "prices" => array:1 [▼ "01" => "1129.00" ] ] 19739 => array:5 [▼ "identifier" => "720368844121" "description" => "Test Description Two" "count" => 4 "details" => array:2 [▼ 0 => array:3 [▼ "detail_code" => "2751" "detail_code2" => "43" "detail_specifier" => "Detail One" ] 1 => array:3 [▼ "detail_code" => "2681" "detail_code2" => "9" "detail_specifier" => "Detail Two" ] ] "prices" => array:1 [▼ "01" => "1490.00" ] ] I'm using laravel excel in order to export that as an excel file, but it's not quite working the way I intend When it exports to excel I only get the top level info: 123 | Testing | This is a test category But I want to get that info as a header and then each subsequent product for that category as a row, so with the example above it would look like: 123 | Testing | This is a test category ==================================================================================================================== 19738 | 720368842943 | Test Description One | 4 | 2751 | 43 | Detail One | 2681 | 9 | Detail Two | 1129.00 19739 | 720368844121 | Test Description Two | 4 | 2751 | 43 | Detail One | 2681 | 9 | Detail Two | 1490.00 Here's the excel code with the array I'm using, which is dumped above: $allCategoryResult= array(); foreach($prices->categories as $category){ $categoryItem = array(); $categoryItem["category_code"] = $category->category_code; $categoryItem["category_name"] = $category->category_name; $categoryItem["category_desc"] = $category->category_desc; foreach($category->skus as $sku){ $skuItem = array(); $skuItem["identifier"] = $sku->sku_info->identifier; $skuItem["description"] = $sku->sku_info->item->description; $skuItem["count"] = $sku->sku_info->item->item_type->count; $skuItem["details"] = array(); foreach ($sku->sku_info->details as $details) { $detailsItem = array(); $detailsItem["detail_code"] = $details->detail_code; $detailsItem["detail_code2"] = $details->detail_code2; $detailsItem["detail_specifier"] = $details->detail_specifier; $skuItem["details"][] = $detailsItem; } $skuItem["prices"] = get_object_vars($sku->prices); $itemCode = $sku->sku_info->item->item_code; $categoryItem[$itemCode] = $skuItem; } $allCategoryResult[] = $categoryItem; } $name = 'Test Export'; $build = Excel::create($name, function ($excel) use ($allCategoryResult) { $excel->setTitle('Test Export'); $excel->sheet('Test Export', function ($sheet) use ($allCategoryResult) { $sheet->fromArray($allCategoryResult);

I'm writing a small applications with episodes which contain 10-15 screenshots with each screenshot having 5 different resolutions. Every week there are about 20 new episodes. You can imagine that every week I have a lot of screenshots which have to be somehow linked to their respective episode. Currently the filenames are stored in a MySQL database, but after 5 minutes of testing I already have 100+ rows. Not quite sure if that's a smart way of moving forward. The advantage of having them in the DB is that I can easily grab them using Eloquent ORM without having to finnick around with regeneration of filenames for on the fly loading. Are there any good other alternatives of linking multiple files to database entries? Or should I just stick with the current method? What would be some adverse effects of doing it this way?

I am new to Laravel, I have registration form which set an extension on the URL on the database table for each user. Example. I am using Laravel 5.6. Anyone can suggest what is the best way to get check if the URL exist on the database and it will proceed. As I now I try to set the Model and make a condition on the config/routes.php to check if the extension from database, but I know it is not the best solution.

Hello, I installed composer and then I tried installing the laravel command line functions as it was described in their website, namely I ran this command: composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1" Taken from directly from the official website - http://laravel.com/docs/4.2#install-laravel But when I run: laravel new blog I get an error: C:\xampp\htdocs>laravel new blog 'laravel' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Please help! I really want to use the "laravel" command lines from the CMD. I am on Windows 8.1. I searched a lot in Google for help but with no luck Many thanks!

Hi all, I’m building a search engine to find courses online; I wanted to ask for some guidance with the best way to program/structure the project. I’m going to be building the application using laravel 5.2 I have 3 different types of users as follows Users Course Providers Advisors All of which have different information associated with them such as Users Table first_name last_name date_of_birth email password Course Providers – this needs to have multiple logins associated with the course provider company_name address_line_1 address_line_2 postcode tel Advisors company_name first_name last_name email password I still want to use laravels Auth but how can I allow multiple auths or am I best in using roles if so how would this work? What’s the best way of handling multiple logins that are associated with 1 company? I would appreciate if anyone can give me a better solution or point me in the right direction.

Hi, I have an app that is in development phase created using php and javascript. I have a couple of plugins - dataTable and exportTable added in the web app. The app has multiple tabs. So far, I have a fairly simple login page that is not even connected to the database. I am thinking about using Laravel framework and build the app on top of it. Will I have to just configure the index.php file in Laravel's public directory and drop all the used files in public directory or I will have to work with each files in Views, Controller, and public? How hard or difficult would that be? Thanks

Hi, This code works (and correctly shows just one result in my view); $people = DB::table('people')->where('id', '=', $person_id)->get(); But this one doesn't; $people = DB::table('people')->where('id', $person_id)->first(); And produces the error; Trying to get property of non-object (View: /media/sf_sandbox/health/app/views/agreement/display.blade.php) The `people` table just has a few fields of information on the individual with a primary key called `id`. I followed the Laravel guide on select statements. I don't understand what the error is trying to tell me and I don't get why that second statement is wrong. What's so wrong about it? I just want to understand Laravel/Objects better.... Thanks

I am really struggling with the logic aspect of my application. I can't picture the structure and get it clear in my mind. As a result, I can't code anything because I'm second-guessing myself at every turn. My application is pretty simple in reality. It's an application that keeps a record of all the different 'contracts'/'agreements' that my colleagues have signed. Some will have signed three or four depending on what systems they are working on. The application will run a cron, daily, and send out an email to anyone who's contract/agreement is about to expire with an invite for them to renew it. I have already built an application that has a login system and authentication (using Laravel). It was my first Laravel effort and I did it using a tutorial from YouTube. I figured I could use the one login from that to act as the administrator for this whole application. Once the administrator is in, they will be presented with a panel to do various things. This is the part I am stuck on. What do you all think of my "logic"? Here are the basic routes (forgetting the auth stuff which is already done); /contracts - to see a list of all the contact templates out there. /contracts/{contract-id} - to view the specific contract template /contracts/create - GET and POST to be able to add new contract templates for other systems /people - view all my colleagues on one page /people/{person-id} - view a specific colleague and all the contracts they have signed /people/create - GET and POST for this too to be able to add new colleagues to the system /people/{person-id}/create-new-contract - so this would add a record in to a third table which joins info from the people table and the contracts table to make a list of unique contract agreements for each person and their expiry date. GET and POST for this as well I suppose. Even as I'm writing this, I don't know if this will be needed because I might have an emailing class that might do this job better? Hence the writing of this post! /agreements/renew/{renew-code} - This will create a new record in the table and amend the old one to show that the previous agreement has expired and that a new one for the next 365 days is in place.As you can probably tell.. I am struggling a bit. Is there any advice you can give me to help me mentally map out my application before I start coding? I just want to get it right..

Hi all. No matter what i tried my links just wont work on my laravel app. My css folder is in the public folder. public/css. I dunno what is wrong.

I'm creating a social network site using Laravel. I have a page that load all the posts created by users the currentUser follows. I have a comment section on each post. I'm using ajax to post the comments. Here is my code. Here is the view of the comment-box. It contains a section where I loop through each comment and display them. At the end is the type field so a user can post a new comment: <div class="comment-box-container ajax-refresh"> <div class="comment-box"> @if ($type->comments) @foreach ($type->comments as $comment) <div class="user-comment-box"> <div class="user-comment"> <p class="comment"> <!-- starts off with users name in blue followed by their comment--> <span class="tag-user"><a href="{{ route('profile', $comment->owner->id) }}">{{ $comment->owner->first_name }} {{ $comment->owner->last_name }}</a> </span>{{ $comment->body }} </p> <!-- Show when the user posted comments--> <div class="com-details"> <div class="com-time-container"> {{ $comment->created_at->diffForHumans() }} · </div> </div> </div><!--user-comment end--> </div><!--user-comment-box end--> @endforeach @endif <!--type box--> <div class="type-comment"> <div class="type-box"> {{ Form::open(['data-remote', 'route' => ['commentPost', $id], 'class' => 'comments_create-form']) }} {{ Form::hidden('user_id', $currentUser->id) }} {{ Form::hidden($idType, $id) }} {{--{{ Form::hidden('user_id', $currentUser->id) }}--}} {{ Form::textarea('body', null, ['class' =>'type-box d-light-solid-bg', 'placeholder' => 'Write a comment...', 'rows' => '1']) }} {{ Form::close() }} </div><!--type-box end--> </div><!--type-comment--> </div><!--comment-box end--> The user submit the form for the comment type box by pressing the "enter/return" key. Here is the JS for that <script> $(document).on('keydown', '.comments_create-form', function(e) { if (e.keyCode == 13) { e.preventDefault(); $(this).submit(); } }); </script> Here is my Ajax (function(){ $(document).on('submit', 'form[data-remote]', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); var form = $(this) var target = form.closest('div.ajax-refresh'); var method = form.find('input[name="_method"]').val() || 'POST'; var url = form.prop('action'); $.ajax({ type: method, url: url, data: form.serialize(), success: function(data) { var tmp = $('<div>'); tmp.html(data); target.html( tmp.find('.ajax-refresh').html() ); target.find('.type-box').html( tmp.find('.type-box').html() ); tmp.destroy(); } }); }); })(); When I post a comment on the first post it all works fine. However, when I post a comment on the second, third, fourth etc it only displays the comments from the first post. I have to manually refresh the page, then the correct comments will display. I'll try to illustrate this problem with images. Starting fresh, I can easily submit 2 comments on POST 1 http://s27.postimg.org/6ej76hunn/comment1.jpg When I scroll down to Post 2, I see it already has a comment, I will submit a new comment http://s23.postimg.org/x65ui2ryz/comment_2.jpg HERE'S THE PROBLEM: When I submit the comment on POST 2, the comments that were in POST 2 disappears, and are replaced by the comments from POST 1. http://s30.postimg.org/ugl08oz01/comment_3.jpg The back end still worked, because when I reload the page everything is the way it should be http://s9.postimg.org/w51fgyzen/comment_4.jpg I'm completely stuck. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hi. My sys admin guy has informed me that installing composer is unlikely. They're a bit jumpy about security around here. I tried to download and run Laravel on it's own but I'm getting errors when I go to http://example.com/test/laravel/public/ Warning: require(/var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/var/www/html/php/includes:/jpa/release/jpa/includes:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php/phpmailer:/apache/htdocs/applications/surveys/Includes:/var/lib/ZF1/library') in /var/www/html/test/laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17 I'm very new to Laravel and I am basically assuming that the reason for these errors is because i haven't installed all the various dependancies. And that you can only install all the dependancies through Composer. Is this the case? I downloaded the Laravel framework from GitHub Unfortunately.. My only real experience of PHP Frameworks is CodeIgniter. So I've never expoled/used "packages" or "dependancies" and don't really know where they are, or where they go, or what they do! I managed to get Laravel up and running on my personal computer (using Composer).... But, as I've said, I might not be able to do this on my day job server. Any tips? ----- Update ----- Is there a chance I am just misunderstanding the word "Dependancies"? It's not a word I often use. Does it just mean "The PHP files that make up the Laravel Framework"?
