Database Connection configuration

[hussamitani]

Basically we are splitting our Laravel App into multiple Databases. We need to define the db connection in the Model. Please see the following documentation: https://medium.com/teknomuslim/how-to-run-laravel-using-multiple-database-connections-d7e8dcb7ed2a

When I added protected $connection = 'mysql' to the Media Model in vendor/spatie/laravel-medialibrary/src/MediaCollections/Models/Media it worked like a charm.

Can you add this option to the config/media-library.php? Because this can be published in our src config files.

Thank you very much

Make your own model with protected $connection = 'mysql' and extends Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Media::class
There is a config for custom properties, only you don't read the documentation

laravel-medialibrary/config/media-library.php

Lines 28 to 31 in a6634fa

	/*
	* The fully qualified class name of the media model.
	*/
	'media_model' => Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Media::class,

Remember, many hours of trial and error can save you 5 minutes of looking at the documentation.

Nice that is actually the perfect solution. I was already thinking of making my own model that extends Media but I didnt know how to tell the trait to use that Model. Thank you very much
