Pagemanager Controller - Custom Field Controller Method

[ericjanofski]

In order to get the Image upload field to do what I need I've created a custom image field. Unfortunately, I'm having a difficult time understanding where I process the logic for the field after the page form is submitted.

I've attempted to add an update method to the PageCrudController but that doesn't do what I expect. I need to know how to handle fields after a form is submitted. Right now I only have a custom_image.blade.php view.

Any direction would be appreciated, thank you.

Hey @ericjanofski

To run a custom logic after the page form is submitted. You don't need a custom view.
And... If it's something else you can have it.

Let's see how to customize form submission on PageCrudController of Pagemanager.

1. Create app/Http/Controllers/Admin/PageCrudController.php
2. Extend Backpack\PageManager\app\Http\Controllers\Admin\PageCrudController
3. Add Route::crud('page', 'PageCrudController'); in routes/backpack/custom.php
4. Use Callbacks of your choice. Example:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;

use Backpack\PageManager\app\Http\Controllers\Admin\PageCrudController as CrudController;

class PageCrudController extends CrudController
{

    use \Backpack\CRUD\app\Http\Controllers\Operations\CreateOperation { store as traitStore; }
    use \Backpack\CRUD\app\Http\Controllers\Operations\UpdateOperation { update as traitUpdate; }

    public function store(){
        // do something before validation, before save, before everything
        $response = $this->traitStore();
        // do something after save
        return $response;
    }

    public function update(){
        // do something before validation, before save, before everything
        $response = $this->traitUpdate();
        // do something after save
        return $response;
    }
}
