Hei everyone

I was hoping someone would be able to help me fix this small problem I'm having. I'm trying to build a small plugin with two tables, Books and Chapters. The relation is simple; Book has many Chapters and a Chapter has one Book. The foreign key in Chapter called book_id references the id in Book. I have two different controllers on the CMS for both tables; one to add books and the other to add chapters.

The Create Books form works fine, no problem.

But when I try adding a chapter, I get a constraint failure. This seems to be because the insert query does not include the book_id, despite it appearing in the Create Chapter form. From the event log I found that the insert query looks like this:

insert into `nadja_librarian_chapters` (`ChapterName`, `ChapterNumber`, `Author`, `is_Published`, `Content`, `updated_at`, `created_at`) values (Test Chapter, 3, Test Author, 1, <p>​Stuff</p>, 2015-10-12 11:45:27, 2015-10-12 11:45:27

It clearly shows all the form elements are included, except for the relations field, book_id, although it appears just as it should as a drop down list on the page.

This is what the fields.yaml looks like:

tabs:
    fields:
        ChapterName:
            label: Chapter Name
            comment: Enter a name for the chapter.
            tab: Details

        ChapterNumber:
            label: Chapter Number
            comment: Enter the chapter number.
            tab: Details

        Author:
            label: Author
            comment: Enter the author's name.
            tab: Details

        Book:
            label: Book
            type: relation
            tab: Details
            options:
                nameColumn: book_id

        is_Published:
            label: Publish
            type: switch
            tab: Details

        Content:
            label: Story
            type: richeditor
            size: huge
            tab: Details

Does anyone know why? I've been wrestling with this for a while now and I'm running out of ideas to cycle. Any clues would be appreciated.

Anyone?

Give us your model definition code where you define the relations.

Sure, below are the model classes Chapter, Book, and the create_chapters_table.php. They were both originally created by artisan and I just added the extra bits I wanted. Hope that generates some ideas?

class Chapter extends Model
{

    /**
     * @var string The database table used by the model.
     */
    public $table = 'nadja_librarian_chapters';

    /**
     * @var array Relations
     */
    public $hasOne = [
        'Book' => ['Nadja\Librarian\Models\Book']
    ];

}

class Book extends Model
{

    /**
     * @var string The database table used by the model.
     */
    public $table = 'nadja_librarian_books';

    public $hasMany = [
        'Chapters' => ['Nadja\Librarian\Models\Chapter', 'key' => 'book_id']
    ];
}

class CreateChaptersTable extends Migration
{

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('nadja_librarian_chapters', function($table)
        {
            $table->engine = 'InnoDB';
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->timestamps();
            $table->integer('book_id')->unsigned();
            $table->string('ChapterName');
            $table->integer('ChapterNumber');
            $table->text('Content');
            $table->date('Published')->nullable();
            $table->boolean('is_Published');
            $table->string('Author');
            $table->foreign('book_id')->references('id')->on('nadja_librarian_books');
        });
    }

}

Okey, managed to finally solve the problem by changing the relation hasOne in the Chapter model to belongsTo. Seems I missed that belongsTo is the inverse relation to hasMany, instead of hasOne.

i want do https://ctrlv.cz/d2Hl

without plugins front-end and "tabs" fields i want all into only page for users!
