Function results in infinitive loop

I don't see anything immediately in the function to cause infinite loop (there is no loop) or infinite recursion.

Generally, with Accessor methods we would use raw attributes (the column values) rather that model properties. So whichever of the properties are actually columns:

• allow_signups_after_closing_date
• approval_signups_after_closing_date
• price_signups_after_closing_date

would be accessed through the attributes array, e.g. $this->attributes['allow_signups_after_closing_date']

Using the attributes array mean you bypass accessors; and therefore mitigate potential recursion.

I'll try to explain. Here in the blade for information is the checkbox for late signups

        <tr>
            <td>{{_('Allow late signup')}}</td>
            <td>
                <label for="allow_signups_after_closing_date">
                    <input type="checkbox" ng-model="competitions.competition.allow_signups_after_closing_date" id="allow_signups_after_closing_date" ng-true-value="1" ng-false-value="0"> {{_('Tillåt anmälan efter sista-HÄR anmälningsdag')}}</a>
                </label>
            </td>
        </tr>

So if that box is checked the system comes into a loop when being in the competition blade where you can see the competitions.

If I do this:

    public function getAllowSignupsAfterClosingDateHumanAttribute()
    {
        if(!$this->allow_signups_after_closing_date):
            return _('Not allowed');
/*        elseif($this->allow_signups_after_closing_date && $this->approval_signups_after_closing_date):
            return _('Needs approval. %s kr fee', $this->price_signups_after_closing_date);
        elseif($this->allow_signups_after_closing_date && !$this->approval_signups_after_closing_date):
            return _('Late signup possible. %s kr fee', $this->price_signups_after_closing_date).   
*/
        endif;
    }

I can see the competitions. So something in these statements are causing error. . I got an error also in laravel.log:

[2022-04-22 23:45:01] local.ERROR: _() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given {"userId":7,"exception":"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): _() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given at /Users/ralph/laravel8/webshooter_web/app/Models/Competition.php:284)

#1 /Users/ralph/laravel8/webshooter_web/app/Models/Competition.php(284): _('Needs approval....', 100)

_() function is an alias for gettext()

Got it! Here:

           return sprintf('Not allowed');
        elseif($this->allow_signups_after_closing_date && $this->approval_signups_after_closing_date):
            return sprintf('Needs approval. %s kr fee', $this->price_signups_after_closing_date);
        elseif($this->allow_signups_after_closing_date && !$this->approval_signups_after_closing_date):
            return sprintf('Late signup possible. %s kr fee', $this->price_signups_after_closing_date);

so sprintf was needed after all. Thank you guys!

What about your infinitive loop problem ;-)
