hidden fields

[blondie63]

I'm using in two different controller a code like this:
CRUD::field('company_id')->type('hidden')->value(Session::get('company'));

My problem is in one controller works and in the other no
I checked the two models and they are consistent !
I don't understand why and it's not clear to me how exactly the function Session::get('company') takes the company_id
Can anyone help me understand?
A thousand thanks

hi, my friend @blondie63 ,
let me try to make it straight, so one of your controllers does not work with the same code you provide above right?
what is the result from this dd(Session::get('company')), try to add that to your controllers, is the value the same?

Hi @christmex, thanks for you answer !
I've found the issue !
CRUD::field('company_id')->type('hidden')->value(Session::get('company')); -> Not working
CRUD::field('company')->type('hidden')->value(Session::get('company')); -> Working fine

The strange thing is that the field name is "company_id" and i've used first row on the other working fine controller..

I need to know how Session:: works..
What values are saved in Session and when?

Hi @blondie63 what if you read the laravel documentation about sessions, here's the link, or just dd(session()) to see what is inside of it

https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/session -> laravel documentation
https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/understanding-the-output-of-ddsession-all -> discussion about sessions

let me know if you have any issues, thx

I'll study!
But what you think about company & company_id?

[christmex]

@blondie63 can you provide us with the controller and the model and also the migration if possible?

are there any errors? check your $fillable inside model, if there is an error, what kind of error you got

@christmex Attached my files,
Area is working as aspected and using "company_id"
CompanyServiceCategory where i must to use "company" to avoid validation problem
git_discussion_496.zip
Thanks again for your help

@christmex Regarding the use of Session I read how it works but the thing that is not clear to me is why in the controller CompanyServiceCategoryCrudController Session::get('company') always has a value while Session::get('businessType') is always null
As you can see in the controller I don't use commands like "session()->put", probably BackPack automatically saves some values on the Session, what do you think? UNDERSTOOD !
Sorry for this question, the problem is that I am modifying some code originally written by a former developer of mine. Now I understand that actually the "company" is saved in Session by another controller called CompanySelectorController !

However, the previous problem remains, that is the fact that the value is not saved if I use CRUD::field('company_id')

Hi @blondie63 , in my opinion nothing is wrong with

CRUD::field('company_id') or CRUD::field('company')

i think? as long as the field exist in migration and already defined in $fillable on your model
but the problem is the session, so can you do this? and show us the result

dd(session()->all());

sorry, but sometimes i need to debug everything to understand where is the problem, if the problem is in your session, you should find it out where is the session setup the value, maybe when you login or something else? Thx

[blondie63]

The problem is not on Session but on validation rules
If i use CRUD::field('company_id').... in request file i've to use rules() -> with company_id
If i use CRUD::field('company').... in request file i've to use rules() -> with company
Finally i understood well the flow ! :)
Thanks for your help
