Forum Is it possible to use Confide 4.0 with a User class that extends Ardent?

posted 10 years ago

I have a User class that extends a Base class which extends Ardent. I'm toying with the idea of using Confide 4.0 for general user management, but when I add the ConfideUser trait to my User class, everything blows up:

Declaration of MyProject\User::save() should be compatible with LaravelBook\Ardent\Ardent::save(array $rules = Array, array $customMessages = Array, array $options = Array, Closure $beforeSave = NULL, Closure $afterSave = NULL)

If I switch my User class so that extends Eloquent, everything works fine. If my User class was extending a ConfideUser class, I could simply override the save() method with my own implementation. But since ConfideUser is now a trait, I have no idea how to override the save() method to make it compatible with Ardent, or if it is even possible. Any suggestions?

I've had the same problem and solved it following instructions found here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11939306 My user model now looks like this:

<?php
use LaravelBook\Ardent\Ardent;
use Zizaco\Confide\ConfideUser;
use Zizaco\Confide\ConfideUserInterface;
use Zizaco\Entrust\HasRole;

class User extends Ardent implements ConfideUserInterface
{
    use ConfideUser{
        save as confideSave;
    }
    use HasRole;
    
    public function save(array $rules = Array(), array $customMessages = Array(), array $options = Array(), Closure $beforeSave = NULL, Closure $afterSave = NULL){
        return $this->confideSave();
    }
}
