Hi, How to extend plugin using sluggable trait?

Where I should put use \October\Rain\Database\Trait\Sluggable in my plugin?

I need to extend MyCalendar plugin by KurtJensen.

Thanks

This trait is only for models. You use trait inside model class.

Next you specify what columns in database are slugs and this trait will do the rest.

In documentation you have an example how to use this: http://octobercms.com/docs/database/traits#sluggable

Is it possible to extend plugin using trait?

You can try to implement trait in your plugin boot method:

CalendarModel::extend(function($model) {
    $model->implement[] = 'October.Rain.Database.Trait.Sluggable';
});

But I don't know if this implement array can be used with traits or only with behaviors.

Another option is to create in your plugin new model class and extend CalendarModel class. You will have to override formConfig and listConfig to use your model instead of plugin original.

The simplest solution is to write an issue on plugin page, meybe what you have to do can be implemented inside original plugin and author can integrate that for you.

I have the same problem. How should traits be added to an existing model while extending plugins?

I tried the following:

UserModel::extend(function($model) {
    $model->implement[] = 'October.Rain.Database.Trait.Nullable';
    $model->nullable[] = 'company';
});

And got this error:

Indirect modification of overloaded property RainLab\User\Models\User::$nullable has no effect

For anyone encountered this issue, you can use Behaviors when attaching purgeable attribute to the extended model

BlogModel::extend(function($model){ $model->implement[] = 'October.Rain.Database.Behaviors.Purgeable'; $model->addDynamicProperty('purgeable', ['post_publish']); });
