I have two models: class Product extends Eloquent { ... public function defaultPhoto() { return $this->belongsTo('Photo'); } public function photos() { return $this->hasMany('Photo'); } } class Photo extends Eloquent { ... public function getThumbAttribute() { return 'products/' . $this->uri . '/thumb.jpg'; } public function getFullAttribute() { return 'products/' . $this->uri .

I'm developing a website in Laravel 4 Beta 5 and I'm trying to pass on an encoded URL to the router. The problem is, an encoded URL has percentages etc. in it, so it is blocked by Laravel. The URL is encoded with the Javascript function encodeURIComponent() . Is there a way to override Laravel so I can use any character in my route? This is my current code: Route::get('add/{encoded_url}', function($encoded_url) { return 'The URL is: '.rawurldecode($encoded_url); }); I have tried to override Laravel by appending where('encoded_url', '*reg-ex*'); , but it didn't work (I'm not very good with reg

I'm building an application using Laravel 4.2. I have a model for units and another for users and pivot table user_units . Every user in this application can select a unit and add it to his favorite list then he can publish this unit with his information as an ad. I want to select all units published by all users The user_units (pivot) table has the following columns: id user_id unit_id publish adtype addinfo created_at updated_at With relations methods on models public function users() { return $this->belongsToMany('User', 'user_units') ->withPivot('id','publish', 'adtype', 'addinfo'); }

What I basically want is user permissions. I've got an table called 'accounts' in my database. There is a column called 'group_id'. I want to set it when the 'group_id' = 3, then the user is admin. Then he can view special sites, buttons, and things like that. I've tried to implement something like that: public function ($roleName) { $role = $this->roles; if ($role->name == $roleName) { return true; } return false; } Also, I don't know what and how the model is needed, do I need an new one and things like that. Old post, but maybe someone will find this useful Add a method to your User model
