So my create news form is very simple:
<div class="row padding-10">
{!! Form::open(array('class' => 'form-horizontal margin-top-10')) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('title', 'Title', ['class' => 'col-md-1 control-label padding-right-10']) !!}
<div class="col-md-offset-0 col-md-11">
{!! Form::text('title', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('body', 'Body', ['class' => 'col-md-1 control-label padding-right-10']) !!}
<div class="col-md-offset-0 col-md-11">
{!! Form::textarea('body', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-offset-5 col-md-3">
{!! Form::submit('Submit News', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary form-control', 'onclick' => 'this.disabled=true;this.value="Sending, please wait...";this.form.submit();']) !!}
</div>
{!! Form::close() !!}
This is processed by NewsProvider:
public function store()
{
$validator = Validator::make($data = Input::all(), array(
'title' => 'required|min:8',
'body' => 'required|min:8',
));
if ($validator->fails())
{
return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
}
News::create($data);
return Redirect::to('/news');
}
But i have another field, not only title and text body in database, which is author_id and I have no idea how to add info, like the user id from currently authenticated user which wasnt supplied by form. I know how to add hidden input to form with user id, but then someone could change hidden field value. How do I do that correct way?
Maybe I have to edit my news eloquent model in some way, which is:
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;
class News extends Eloquent {
// Add your validation rules here
public static $rules = [
'title' => 'required|min:8',
'body' => 'required|min:8',
];
// Don't forget to fill this array
protected $fillable = array('title', 'body');
}
