Error upon submitting the /user/create form: "Unknown column 'password_confirmation" about confide

[bschlinker]

I took a closer look into the stack dump produced by L4.

I have a C++ background so the PHP keywords are different, but I can tell your goal is to override the save functionality provided by the base class Eloquent. However, this isn't occurring -- save() directly calls the Eloquent save method and never hits anything from Ardent or from confide

[andrew13]

Well that should be removed before it tries to save. in src/Zizaco/Confide/ConfideUser.php

/**
     * Ardent method overloading:
     * Before save the user. Generate a confirmation
     * code if is a new user.
     *
     * @param bool $forced Indicates whether the user is being saved forcefully
     * @return bool
     */
    public function beforeSave( $forced = false )
    {
        if ( empty($this->id) )
        {
            $this->confirmation_code = $this->generateUuid($this->table, 'confirmation_code');
        }

        /*
         * Remove password_confirmation field before save to
         * database.
         */
        if ( isset($this->password_confirmation) )
        {
            unset( $this->password_confirmation );
        }

        return true;
    }

Interesting that it isn't hitting ardent or confide... I'll have to troubleshoot it to confirm this.

[bschlinker]

Yes, I located the above code -- note my most recent response, the stack dump shows that the call to save() is never hitting Ardent or Confide. See here: http://i.imgur.com/f58j5hD.png

Can I have look at your User Model?

[andrew13]

Maybe in a gist?

[bschlinker]

Standard model from the install: http://paste.laravel.com/q1i (I can do gist also, but this should work).

I don't understand why it extends Eloquent -- this seems wrong, but I don't know much about PHP. I thought it would extend ConfideUser or Ardent.

[andrew13]

Ah that'll do it. Your thought is correct. Try this instead:

<?php

use Zizaco\Confide\ConfideUser;

class User extends ConfideUser {

/*Super awesome code here*/

}

[bschlinker]

Awesome, so my C++ knowledge works in PHP, I was pretty sure that was wrong but forgot to add in the use Zizaco\Confide\ConfideUser; when I tried making the change myself.

How has it worked up until now with it like this?

[andrew13]

I dunno? Magic? I kid, but seriously not sure.

and glad your C++ is working in PHP as well. You've picked the right framework to get familiar with PHP.

[bschlinker]

Considering solving this by writing a new ModelCommand, similar to ControllerCommand, etc.

Comments?

If you're looking for more command line generators, I'd take a look at https://github.com/JeffreyWay/Laravel-4-Generators
