add a template column to your categories
In this, store the name of the view file you want to use. When you return view, insert the template name from the database rather than hard coding the string for the view name.

Copy category.blade.php to category1.blade.php, category2.blade.php, category3.blade.php. category4.blade.php
in the controller
return view('category'.$category->id);
edit each file to suit the category

Level 6
as @snapey said you can add ( template) colum in categories table and in the show method in CategoriesController
$template = 'categories/'. $category->template . '.blade.php';
return view($template, compact('category'));
Or if you don't like adding an extra column to your database table you can just tweak it using categories ids , for instance
if($category->id == 1 )
$template = "something.blade.php";
elseif
and so on
Level 2
Thanks @maged , I am doing this as you told still it's nothing happend
public function up() { Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('template');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('categories');
}
}
and
my categoriesConroller
Level 6
@ME10071990 - please show me a screen of your Categoriescontroller + names of your view files + categories records ( i want to see what u store in template field for each category)
Level 2
I have send already pasted all the code please check
Level 6
Post your CategoriesController - show method
Level 2
thank you ...public function show($id) {
// $category= new Category;
//$template = 'categories/'. $category->template . '.blade.php';
//return view($template, compact('category'));
}
Level 122
When you show a view, you don't put .blade.php in the view command.... so why have you done it here?
How do you expect to show a category template when you don't choose the category and just load an empty model -$category= new Category;
Is this code really all commented out?

Level 2
@Snapey is this not commented out, I was just checking another code for it and also using if elseif condition, please help me to correct so I can do and learn in best way... thank you very much

Level 122
@maged still with the blade naming error
public function show(Category $category) {
$template = 'categories.' . $category->template;
return view($template, compact('category'));
}
or better
public function show(Category $category) {
return view( 'categories.' . $category->template, compact('category'));
}

@snapey sorry i just realized that .. you are absolutely right :)
Level 2
Thank you @snapey -:) I am using this in CategoriesController public function show(Category $category) {
return view( 'categories.' . $category->template, compact('category'));
}
so what I have to do next
Level 2
now in data base it's showing error.."SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'template' doesn't have a default value (SQL: insert into categories (name, updated_at, created_at) values (HOME, 2019-04-25 12:42:37, 2019-04-25 12:42:37)) ◀" however I reset NULL
Level 6
@me10071990 you didn't insert any value in the template field ,this field should include the blade name like category1 ..
make sure you insert a value there using tinker or phpmyadmin for now .
Level 2
I put from phpmyadmin as a null and its working now however designed is still not going through...
public function show(Category $category) {
return view( 'categories.' . $category->template, compact('category'));
} after this what code I have to make or change.. thank you
Level 6
you also might want to refer for a default template if you didn't insert one .. so in your migration add this
$table->string('template')->default('category1');
i think this would be fine .
Level 2
Ok thank you , what code I need to change after that
Level 6
Nothing, this should work .
Level 2
Ok , so I have to make every new blade.php for each category ?
Level 122
I think you first need to learn php and laravel a little first. This is taking a ridiculous number of messages for a simple request.
You create the category
You create the template for the category
You put the name of the template in the category
You display the category using the template.
How hard can it be?
