Custom Views (for ListOperation) - View not showing

[Read2uk]

Hi all,

Just a quick question, not sure if I am doing something wrong. Basically want to add Custom Views but the dropdown button is not showing the added views (is not clickable on the dropdown)

This is what the CrudController looks like:

The 'Views' dropdown is not working, so can't select the other views

On the last screenshot there is a log warning:

LOG.warning: method_exists(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($method) of type string is deprecated in C:\localhost\test\vendor\backpack\pro\src\Http\Controllers\Operations\CustomViewOperation.php on line 101

Not sure if its related to this?

Hello @Read2uk

Can you please share more information about this.

Versions

php artisan backpack:version

Then the way how you need to set View Method is with a query, like this.

public function setupLast5YearsView()
    {
        CRUD::addClause('where', 'issuance_date', '>=', now()->subYears(5)->format('Y-m-d'));
    }

If still doesn't work, try to run just $this->runCustomViews();so Backpack will get the Custom Views in Controller.

Cheers.

Here is another screenshot of the Custom Views appearing on the source code:

Hi @pxpm @jcastroa87

So I have actually found the problem but it needs fixing at your end.

I have checked your demo, and its also broken.

https://demo.backpackforlaravel.com/admin/pet-shop/invoice

I am using Core UI v2 Theme which is Bootstrap 4 but the dropdown for the view is using data-bs-toggle which is Bootstrap 5, as soon as I make it into bootstrap 4 data-toggle it works.

Hey @Read2uk

We are aware of the "differences" between BS4 and BS5, are you sure you are not overwriting the datatables_logic into your application resources folder ?

Because we use both data-bs-toggle and data-toggle and it works with both versions of BS (bootstrap) as you can see here: https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/blob/b58f971aa0f0064f5070ae51f90249d9675c2d50/src/resources/views/crud/inc/datatables_logic.blade.php#L433

Let me know if that was the issue, if not I will try to debug it further, but I am pretty sure it should work, as @jcastroa87 showed, he tested it using coreuiv2 too.

Cheers

Edit: further investigation, it seems it does not pick both. I will investigate further tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

I've just released backpack/pro 2.2.19 with the fix.

In a couple of hours our private repository should pick the change and you can get the fixed version with a composer update.

Once again, thank you very much for the report, and for the debug process, we really appreciate it 🙏

Cheers

Thanks for your help, I updated the packages and I can confirm its now fixed!
