Custom view for every CRUD

[buliyo]

Hey Everyone! I am starting to learn backpack because I really liked this tool. However, I have a small problem right at the beginning. I am going through a tutorial where I created a CRUD Users (user, users). I wanted to create an individual view for it. According to the documentation I read I should:

1. copy the template from:
   vendor\backpack\crud\src\resources\views\crud\list.blade.php
2. paste it into laravel:
   resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\user.blade.php

However, when I change the name from list.blade.php to user.blade.php, it stops reading the modified template.

Hello @buliyo thanks for the question.

The tutorial you are following is missing a step, telling the ListOperation what view to load.
Is it in our documentation ? Can you point it out to me so that I can fix it ?

In your setupListOperation method, your should tell the operation to use your custom view instead of the default one.

You can do it with: $this->crud->setOperationSetting('view', 'your.custom.view')

Let me know,
Cheers

What is a correct view name and location in this case? user.blade.php or just user? and location? is resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud?
Doesn't work for me with:
CRUD::setOperationSetting('view', 'user');
and file into resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\user.blade.php

It works for me, but i'm not sure that is best way: CRUD::setListView('vendor.backpack.crud.user.list');
With file: \resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\user\list.blade.php

Hey @buliyo file organization it's up to you.

You are not overriding backpack views, in this case you are creating a new one. So if you leave it for example in: resources/views/users/list.blade.php you should use CRUD::setOperationSetting('view', 'users.list').

I do not recommend to use the setListView() method, as that method would probably end up deprecated in future versions, so I would advise to set the operation setting directly.

Thank you, it works! I was sure that the view path should start at /vendor/backpack.
