Missing some Features

[evwerkz]

I'm missing an upload form by repeater. Mediafinder form works but i need title and description functions for images.
I try it to extend this:

\OFFLINE\Boxes\Models\Box::extend(function ($model){
            $model->hasMany = [
                'repeater_block' => [
                    \RepeaterBlock::class,
                    'key' => 'parent_id',
                    'delete' => true
                ],
            ];
        });

Doc: https://docs.octobercms.com/3.x/element/form/widget-repeater.html#example-of-using-related-records
But it dost work.

--

Settings to allow adding limited same box.
Occasionally I want to allow a box only once per page.

The page templates are very cool. But I miss creating a templates or pages with content.
Problem, if you create some pages local. Later I do a same if the page go live.

@evwerkz Thank you for your feedback!

I'm missing an upload form by repeater.

Box Config

name: Repeater Example
handle: repeater-example
form:
  fields:
    extra_information:
        type: repeater
        form:
            fields:
                title:
                    label: title
                is_enabled:
                    label: Enabled
                    type: switch
                photos:
                    label: Photos
                    type: fileupload
                    mode: image

With Model

<?php

namespace OFFLINE\Boxes\Models;

use October\Rain\Database\ExpandoModel;

class RepeaterItem extends ExpandoModel
{
    public $table = 'acme_blog_repeater_items';

    protected $expandoPassthru = ['parent_id'];

    public $attachMany = [
        'photos' => \System\Models\File::class,
    ];
}

And Provider

        \OFFLINE\Boxes\Models\Box::extend(function ($model){
            $model->hasMany = [
                'extra_information' => [
                    RepeaterItem::class,
                    'key' => 'parent_id',
                    'delete' => true
                ],
            ];
        });

Works on my end:

<div>
    {{ d(box.extra_information[0].photos) }}
</div>

What does not work for you?

Settings to allow adding limited same box.

This is a very niche requirement and probably won't be added to the plugin.

Problem, if you create some pages local. Later I do a same if the page go live.

Page templates currently are not meant for this use-case. They provide simple starting points for creating new sites, but are not meant to transfer page data from one place to another.

I'm missing an upload form by repeater.

Nevermind! I was able to reproduce an issue.

[tobias-kuendig]

Hm, no that was just a typo on my end. The repeater models do work.

[evwerkz]

My problem was that when I reloaded the page, the field in the repeater was empty again.

[tobias-kuendig]

I have added a built-in model to make the usage of repeater items easier:

https://docs.boxes.offline.ch/use-cases/relations.html#repeater-relations-with-file-upload-support-since-v3-4

Available in v3.4.1

[evwerkz]

I tried as it says in the documentation. But the whole repeater element simply disappears.

And if i save, this happens on DB:

[evwerkz]

and if i will add title or description:

very different images:

I can't explain what's happening.

And if I do page reload. Repeater elements are empty.

[tobias-kuendig]

The title and description thing are a known issue (#98), but I should be able to handle this here. As for the empty repeater items, this is indeed strange. I'll see if I can reproduce this issue. Does the problem still exist if you follow a "happy path": Add Box, add one Repeater item, upload one image, save.

[evwerkz]

Not really. Either the repeater element disappears or I can only use it once. When I add new, it replaces the first.

I think it's not the boxes, but generally the repeater items and upload function. I tested, this error also happens in my plugin.
I'll have to ask Sam or send support to October CMS.

[evwerkz]

And another thing when I call this.page.id in twig. I always get zero. How do I get the page ID of Boxes pages? For example, you need it to mark a page as active in Navi.

[tobias-kuendig]

You can access the Boxes context using the boxesPage variable. It should be available everywhere.
