Up up up !

Looks good to me.

Thank you for your answer.

Hi again,

I'm trying to use Confide and Entrust. Now my User Model extends ConfideUser and uses the HasRole Trait. I added a Role Model (extends EntrustRole), a Permission Model (extends EntrustPermission) and corresponding tables. I also updated the static factory method inside my User Model.

##Static factory method

###User Model

    public static function createUser($type, array $userAttributes, array $typeAttributes)
    {

        if(class_exists($type)) {

            $role = \Role::where('name', '=', $type)->first();

            $userType = $type::create($typeAttributes);

            $user = $userType->user()->create($userAttributes);

            $user->attachRole($role);

            return $accountType;

        } else {

            throw new InvalidAccountTypeException('Invalid account type.');

        }

    }

Is there a better way to do this ?

Can someone explain to me how morph works? What I mean is, I don't know what fields are required in my tables to get it working. I see you are using userable_id and userable_type. Are these necessary? I fail to understand how I should make my table constraints.

UDPATE: Silly me, I seem to have missed the part in the docs about the table structure. I think I understand it now.

I am new to Laravel and trying to create an application with different types of users. The users have both common and unique characteristics. After looking at Single Table Inheritance models, I decided to try polymorphic relations. Most of the examples deal with retrieving the records. This is the first post I found with an example of how to create new (different type) users.

The problem is, I am too inexperienced to fill in the blanks for all of the above code. I am confused, for example, by the label User Model being used under Polymorphic relationships and again under Static factory method. What should the file name be for the factory if it is a separate file, and where should it be saved in the folder structure? Could you post the complete scripts or a link to the examples above as a learning aide? Thank you.
