Hello there,
I have a web app that manages gardening courses and registrations for it. While entering new courses I came up with the idea to create a controller action to duplicate an existing course using its course_id.
unfortunately this does not seem to work as the method replicate() which I found in the documentation doesnt seem to be defined. I guess it actually is, but wheres my misunderstanding?
my controller function :
public function getDuplicate($course_id = false) {
if (!$course_id) {
Notification::info('Es wurde kein Kurs angegeben.');
return Redirect::route('home');
} else {
$oldCourse = Course::with('author')->where('course_id','=',$course_id)->get();
$newCourse = $oldCourse->replicate();
unset($newCourse->course_id);
if($newCourse->save()) {
Notification::success('Der Kurs wurde dupliziert. ');
return Redirect::action('CourseController@getEdit', array('id' => $newCourse->id));
} else {
Notification::info('Der Kurs konnte nicht dupliziert werden..');
return Redirect::route('home');
}
}
}
As you can see, I am not a Laravel master and therefore would be grateful to get some help - thanks!
Hello MisterMike,
I never used replicate, but it seems to me that you have an error.
$oldCourse = Course::with('author')->where('course_id','=',$course_id)->get();
will return a collection of courses, not a signle course. Use this instead.
$oldCourse = Course::with('author')->where('course_id','=',$course_id)->first();
Hope it helps. Gern geschehen!
Yes my same conclusion. The replicate method is found on Eloquent Models not Collections
That is your issue.
