Overriding views not load

[dukenst2006]

Hi @sebastienheyd,
Thanks for this great package, I want to customize the views, i run this command :
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=boilerplate-views to override. and views are on resources/views/vendor/boilerplate when i edit the views on this folder, changes are not show even i clear cache and view. any idea how to fix that ?
Thanks in advance.

Best,

Hi,

Which view do you want to edit ? The overriding system is the Laravel's one, as you can see in the boilerplate service provider. It will use namespace to know which view is overridden, I have to check if I don't forget to use the namespace somewhere.

Thanks for your quick response, i changed the footer view, also i would like to change the users/* views to add new fields.
The path on config/view.php is resource_path('views')
What is the best way to edit and have full control on the views and controllers that comes with the package?
Thanks,

For controllers, the easiest way is to override login routes by setting them in routes/web.php :

$override = [
    'prefix'     => config('boilerplate.app.prefix', ''),
    'domain'     => config('boilerplate.app.domain', ''),
    'middleware' => ['web', 'boilerplatelocale'],
    'as'         => 'boilerplate.',
    'namespace'  => 'App\Http\Controllers' // < this is the important line
];

Route::group($override, function () {
    Route::get('login', ['as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm']);
    Route::post('login', ['as' => 'login.post', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@login']);
    
    // Add here the routes you have to override from src/routes/boilerplate.php
});

Will use the methods from app/Http/Controllers instead of Boilerplate controllers. Views are already overridden by those in resource/views/vendor/boilerplate

Copy the file src/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php to app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php. Edit the file to set the new namespace to App\Http\Controllers\Auth and you can change the methods for your needs.

Don't forget to set your new User model with additional fields in config/boilerplate/auth.php and config/boilerplate/laratrust.php

Hi @sebastienheyd
I did exactly the changes you suggested but after a user has been created i got this issue,
TypeError Sebastienheyd\Boilerplate\Events\UserCreated::__construct(): Argument #1 ($user) must be of type Sebastienheyd\Boilerplate\Models\User, App\Models\User given, called in
any idea ?

[sebastienheyd]

You have to extend \Sebastienheyd\Boilerplate\Models\User instead of App\Models\User in your model.

Have a look to the new boilerplate:scaffold artisan command : https://sebastienheyd.github.io/boilerplate/howto/scaffold
