Hi

I have two pages, the first one is menu and the other one is content.

In my menu view its just a normal blade template where I can add and edit my menu items.

Then I have the content page, which has 2 textboxes and one dropdown and a submit. In my dropdown is a list of all the menus that are in my database.

In my database the table content has a column called menu_id which refrences the id in the menu table.

What I would like to do is to add the data that I entered into the content form to be saved.

Here is my ContentController

public function store()
	{
		//

		
		$input = \Input::all(); //puts the get and post variables into an array
		$validation = \Validator::make($input, \Content::$rules); //checks the validation rules

		if($validation->fails()){
			return \Redirect::route('admin.content.index')
				->withInput()
				->withErrors($validation)
				->with('message', 'There were validation errors.');
		}

		if($validation->passes()){
			\Content::create($input); //inserts the data into the table
			//return \Redirect::route('admin.content.index');
			$content = \Content::all();
			return \View::make('admin.content.partials.form-list', compact('content'));
		}

		/*return \Redirect::route('admin.content.create')
			->withInput()
			->withErrors($validation)
			->with('message', 'There were validation errors.');

		$result = $validation->passes();
		echo $result;	*/

		//print_r($input);
	}

My Content model

<?php

use Illuminate\Auth\UserTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableTrait;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;

class Content extends \Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface{
	use UserTrait, RemindableTrait;
	
	protected $fillable = array('menu_id', 'title', 'description'); //allows the data to be updated
	protected $guarded = array('id'); //prevents people from changing the value

	protected $table = 'content';

	public static $rules = array(
		'title' => 'required',
		'description' => 'required'
		);

	public function menu(){
		return $this->belongsTo('Menu'); 
	}
}

my view with the form

@extends('layouts.admin')
@section('content')

{{ Form::open(array('route' => 'admin.content.store', 'class' => 'add-form')) }}
	<ul>
		<li>
			{{ Form::label('title', 'Title') }}
			{{ Form::text('title', '', array('id' => 'title')) }}
		</li>

		<li>
			{{ Form::label('description', 'Description') }}
			{{ Form::text('description', '', array('id' => 'description')) }}
		</li>

		<li>
			{{ Form::label('menu', 'Menu') }}
			{{ Form::select('menu', $menu_options) }}
		</li>

		<li>
			{{ Form::submit('Submit', array("class"=>"btn btn-default", "role"=>"button")) }}
		</li>
	</ul>
{{ Form::close() }}

@if($errors->any())
	<ul>
		{{ implode('', $errors->all('<li class="error">:message</li>')) }}
	</ul>
@endif	
@stop
