@loyd here is the code

public static function StoreImage($image, $fieldName, $path)
    {
        $thumbData = [];
        $imageData = [];

        if (isset($image)) {
            $fileNameWithExt = $image->getClientOriginalName();
            $fileName = pathinfo($fileNameWithExt, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
            $extension = $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $fileNameToStore = time() . '.' . $extension;

            $storagePath = storage_path('app/'.$path);
            if(!File::isDirectory($storagePath)) { File::makeDirectory($storagePath, 0777, true, true); }

            $imageData = self::generateImage($image, $path, $fileNameToStore);
            $thumbData = self::generateThumbnail($image, $path, $fileNameToStore);

        } else {
            return false;
        }

        return $data = [
            'image' => $imageData,
            'thumb_image' => $thumbData,
            'type' => mime_content_type($storagePath.$fileNameToStore),
            'extension' => strtolower($extension),
        ];
    }

    private static function generateThumbnail($image, $path, $fileNameToStore)
    {
        $fileNameToStore = 'thumb_' . $fileNameToStore;
        $image = self::createThumbnail($image, $path, $fileNameToStore, 200, 200);

        return $data = [
            'imageName' => $fileNameToStore,
            'path' => $path,
            'size' => $image->filesize(),
        ];
    }

    public static function createThumbnail($image, $path, $fileNameToStore, $width, $height)
    {
        $image = Image::make($image)->resize($width, $height, function ($constraint) {
            $constraint->aspectRatio();
        });
        $image->save(storage_path('app/' . $path . $fileNameToStore)); // at this point my page goes blank
        return $image;
    }

    private static function generateImage($image, $path, $fileNameToStore)
    {
//        $image = Image::make($image);
//        $image->save(storage_path('app/' . $path . $fileNameToStore));  // at this point my page goes blank
        $image->storeAs($path, $fileNameToStore);

        return $data = [
            'imageName' => $fileNameToStore,
            'path' => $path,
            'size' => filesize(storage_path('app/' . $path . $fileNameToStore)), // $image->filesize(),
        ];
    }

and here is the validation for image

'nullable|image|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png|max:2048' // this is not working saying image must be an image
'nullable|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png|max:2048' // this one is working fine

@sergiu17 thanku for your response

Hi everyone. is there any mobile app for this platform ??

Hi Everyone, i am having issues with image upload functionality. Let me just tell u that i am able to upload images to server so i am not here for enctype problem. lets just go through the point i have, and m also using laravel intervention.

1. When i try to save my image using saveAs function it save my image perfectly.
2. but when i try to save my image with intervention $image->make() it turn my webpage to blank i mean my request stop and show a complete white page. and it happen only when i try to save image greater then 200 - 300 kB file. but intervention work fine with 20-80 kB file.
3. now lets get to laravel image validation. when i use 'image' => 'image|mimes:jpg.etc' it gives me error Image must be an image but when i remove "image" validation and only remain "mimes" validation then there is no error and image is saved perfectly. and again its happening with 200-300 kB file which is jpg and woking fine on 20-80 kB file which in png.

anyone have any suggestions??

Hi, @tisuchi thank you for your quick response. i am already doing few of these things. but it didn't answer any of my question

Hello Laracasts, I am having an issue to get a telegram user id of a user using his/her username. Also, there are few scenarios that I want to know is that possible or not using PHP telegram api.

1. if we have a username of any user, can we get his/her user id from @userinfobot?
2. can we receive messages from the user using Bot? i mean two way communication. or check if which user has join our channel etc.
3. how to hide input field from a bot so no one can reply?
4. how to add predefined buttons instead of an input field? like most channels groups are doing.
5. also, if a user adds our bot can we programmatically press the join button for him?

it will be a great help if anyone can answer the questions. Thank you.

Ok guys i found the issue. The issue has nothing to do with scheduler.

In Config directory i have a file for my domain specific variables. there i was using

<?php
return [
    'app' => [
        'logo' => [
            'favicon' => asset('path_to_icon'),
            'logo' => asset('path_to_logo'),
        ],
    ],
]

"asset()" function to set my domain logos and icons and that "asset()" was the key to this issue. don't use such functions in config file because that don't just interrupt schedulers but also no artisan command can be run.

maybe it has to do something with service containers that they don't get registered at that time that is why they throw error. maybe i don't know that for sure.

@sinnbeck you are right after testing i find out it was my fault your answer is working fine.

@automica I did mark sinnbeck answer as best answer as you suggested.

but @sinnbeck i request you to add the link given below in your best answer so other people can see other perspective and know how to validate this new request.

Thanks for both of u guys.

here is the Link: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/code-review/is-there-a-way-to-make-a-form-request-from-another-request?page=1

Thanks for your help and support @sinnbeck

@sinnbeck ok i have found the answer to the problem. Here Is The Solution

$userRequest = UserRequest::createFrom($request);

this syntex only return instance of UserRequest. it didn't validate the the request it self. One must have to validate separately by using old fashion syntex like this.

$this->validate($userRequest, $userRequest->rules())

hope this may help others.

You can see the original answer Here

@sinnbeck hi. as u mention in the last reply i did that but it return a simple Request Instance not UserRequest instance. or is there something that i am missing.

$userRequest = Request::createFrom($request, new UserRequest());

@sinnbeck yes i could. but i want to validate the Request comming from the newStore(Request $request) plus i am also mutating and adding values in UserRequest. so is their any way i can Map the Request to UserRequest?

@sinnbeck because i am using UserRequest for web, now for api i am receiving different name parameters.

what i am trying to do is to receive Request then mutate the request and pass that Request to UserRequest. so that i can use the same request for both functions.

Hi i am trying to map my Request instance to FormRequest as an example here is the code.

public function store(UserRequest $request)
{
	// code ...
}

now i want to call above mention store function from another function that accept only Request like this.

public function newStore(Request $request)
{
	$this->store($request) //  <= here is the issue that function accept FormRequest while i have only Request;
}

please help

i alsoe tried this

public function newStore(Request $request)
{
	$userRequest = new UserRequest([], $request->all());
	$this->store($userRequest);
}

still not working

@michaloravec no i dion't have space before php

@michaloravec ok i change the name of My controller and file. it worked. but when i revert back to its orignal name it says the same error

@michaloravec no. i install Laravel 8.4.0 fresh copy

@michaloravec i did but still same error

i have a Controller MyController in my Controllers Folder

My Route is

Route::resource('my', \App\Http\Controllers\MyController::class);

My Controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class MyController extends Controller
{
	// My Resource Functions ...
}

All my other routes working fine. this route was working fine as well but now somehow it says class not found. While i can Navigatre to class by clicking on route and vice versa.

@singh use < instrad of opening angle bracket for the <form> tag

@acrm use this in your html select.

<select>
@foreach($subcategories as $subcategory)
	<option value="{{ $subcategory->id }}" {{ $requirement->source->name == $subcategory->name ? 'selected' : '' }}>{{ $subcategory->name }}
@endforeach
</select>

if u have multiple values to select then use this. i assume u have name array in $requirement->source->name

<select>
@foreach($subcategories as $subcategory)
	<option value="{{ $subcategory->id }}" {{ in_array($subcategory->name, $requirement->source->name) ? 'selected' : '' }}>{{ $subcategory->name }}
@endforeach
</select>

@snapey @sinnbeck i am not sure about that but i never change my VerifyCsrfToken middleware and if i missing a csrf token on my post request it sometimes through 404 error. can't say anything about it why it do that.

@julifighter96 by looking at your form u didn't add @csrf in your form

try adding @csrf

<form method="post" action=" your route ">
	@csrf
	... rest of the form fields
</form>

@webfuelcode i assume u hvae a model name Thread.

did u paginate the Thread model like this.

$threads = Thread::paginate(); // default is 15

$threads = Thread::where( 'your condition' )->paginate(20) // you can assign rows per page;

Senario

@brandon.css if you want to return single row then use new ModelResource($modele) and if you want to return a collection then use ModelResource::collection($models)

// for single record
return new ModelResource( Model::latest()->first() );

// for collection with or without pagination
return ModelResource::collection( Model::latest()->paginate() );

if you use second approach it will add meta tags it self as u mention above .

Problem

Problem is when u use response()->jason() then meta tags won't work

Solution

in that senario this is what i do first of all i create two resource classes for the same model as you can see.

.
+-- Http
|   +-- Resources
|   |   +-- Store (Store is model name in your case)
|   |   |   +-- StoreCollection
|   |   |   +-- StoreResource

for more info about ModelCollection & ModelResource see this Laravel Api Resource

now in StoreResource write your code as you normally do

    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            "id" => $this->slug,
            "name" => $this->name,
            // etc
        ];
    }

now in StoreCollection this is what i do to paginate my model.

    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            'data' => StoreResource::collection($this->collection),
            'pagination' => [
                "current_page" => $this->currentPage(),
                "first_page_url" =>  $this->getOptions()['path'].'?'.$this->getOptions()['pageName'].'=1',
                "prev_page_url" =>  $this->previousPageUrl(),
                "next_page_url" =>  $this->nextPageUrl(),
                "last_page_url" =>  $this->getOptions()['path'].'?'.$this->getOptions()['pageName'].'='.$this->lastPage(),
                "last_page" =>  $this->lastPage(),
                "per_page" =>  $this->perPage(),
                "total" =>  $this->total(),
                "path" =>  $this->getOptions()['path'],
            ],
        ];
    }

now in controller

// if you want to return single record
return response()->json( new ModelResource( Model::latest()->first() ), 200 );

// and for collection with pagination
return response()->json( new ModelCollection(Model::paginate()), 200 );


// you can also add other info
return response()->json([ 'data' => new ModelCollection(Model::paginate()), 'success' => true ], 200 );

@sinnbeck for the time being i removed soft delete functionality from my AdviceMedia and migrate:fresh because it was not necessary.

and for future reference it was the mistake on my side i accidentally softdeleted the model in my controller which i added for testing purpose and forget to remove. which is why all of my data become deleted and was unable to fetch.

to fetch softdeleted data u need to query like this

$adviceMedia = AdviceMedia::withTrashed()->get();

for better understanding on soft delete visit this link laravel soft delete

@tisuchi @sinnbeck sry guys for bothring u but thanks for your help

@tisuchi @sinnbeck i did found the problem but i don't know why its happening.

the problem is SoftDelete

when i removed

use softDelete

from my model it start fetching data. i don't why its happening i also have SoftDelete on all my other models but they are working fine.

hope u know something about this.

namespace App\Models\Advice;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

class AdviceMedia extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes; // this line is the issue

    protected $table = 'advice_media';

    protected $guarded = [];

    protected $casts = [
        'created_at' => 'datetime',
        'updated_at' => 'datetime',
        'deleted_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    */
    public function advice()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Advice::class);
    }
}

@tisuchi i created my model and migration using php artisan

php artisan make:model AdviceMedia -mc

@tisuchi yes i did try assigning the table name to the model but still return Null.

@sinnbeck here is my Model AdviceMedia

namespace App\Models\Advice;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

class AdviceMedia extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;

    protected $table = 'advice_media';

    protected $guarded = [];

    protected $casts = [

    public function advice()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Advice::class);
    }
}

I have a Model AdviceMedia

when i try to fetch data from this model using this syntex it return null

$adviceMedia = AdviceMedia::all(); // return null
$adviceMedia = AdviceMedia::where('id', '=', 1)->first(); //return null 

the above code return null with all other retrieving logic. even though records exists in database

on the other hand if i use QueryBuilder Sytex it work fine

$adviceMedia = DB::table('advice_media')->get() // return correct data

now thats not it.

if i try to save/create new record using Eloquent Model it work fine with out any issue. (obviously cannot update)

$adviceMedia = AdviceMedia::create($data)  // save data successfully

also if i try to fetch this model using relation like

$advice = Advice::with('adviceMedia')->get();

the AdviceMedia relation return null.

All the other models are working fine.
