why files attached with videos are hidden from videos?

Great course! I have just noticed that the subtotal is getting sent through to the orders page which does not include shipping. Should I change the subtotal column in the orders table to total or add an extra column and include both? Then to get the total should I use getTotalProperty() or create a total() method in either App\Cart\Cart.php or App\Models\Order.php?

Anyone come across this

Alex, do you have the completed code on Github or anything please...I need to look at something and why me version isn't working.

Alex how are you putting them categories in a dropdown menu
0
Really nice course so far(@part 30). I am enjoying it, just wondering if this application architecture can cover simple products also(for example a product as it is without any variations at all) along with the variable products without poorly "patching" it (for example fake variations). Maybe I am wrong but as it stands I think it will need a good revamp to be able to handle simple type products. I d love to hear your thoughts about it guys.
0
I tried it on the variations with the Sku variant on the products model and it doesnt work keeps saying foreach must be type of array string given when trying bring the product down so its looking for an array of products which would not be an array on the products table I keep asking Alex to show ius everyone is hes not answering
0
We could try to use a fake variation for the simple products and exclude it from filters, etc. but that is exactly what i am trying to avoid. I guess the whole product logic(components, models and cart) need a revamp to be able to use simple products without variations.
0
I tried it wont work because the the variations not only works with an array it also needs a parent_id for the adjency list and that whould have to be in the products table which again takes in back to to a dropdown so you would need a new model and redirect if the product is sign le product with a a count

I think i figured it if it works

Alex A little information for you
Stripe is very strict on what they allow to to be sold.
I sell spiritual products and when to Stripe and had it working a customer paid for a spiritual product and we had o give the money back and the customer was furious because Stripe said they dont allow any Spiritual services entertainment services like netflix because there to high risk Working through Pay Pal have never had problems at all
Also Im working on Ubuntu 20:14 and after uploading the files we have the same problem
Invalid facet distribution, the fields box, size are not set as filterable.
Now doing this on local host it works hw do we get this working update the facets in product whats the script please and can you please do a video on hooking pay pal up to this Im using a the moment Ominpay with Paypal sdk
0
Hi, I have this error: Invalid facet distribution, the fields color, size are not set as filterable.
yet I followed the tutorial to the letter.
I don't understand where the error comes from
0
you need to add the attributes to the list of attributes that can be used for filtering on meilisearch
the easiest solutions to do this
1$client = app(Client::class);2$client->index('products')3->updateFilterableAttributes(['color', 'size'])once before the search to update the index on meilisearch
0
Thanks, that's exactly what I did! , I created a ScoutServiceProvider, and I put the code you indicated
0
Matey it worked in production thankyou Alex you should have should us that lol make sure import the meilisearch client tho and add the service provider to config/app

Hi I can't find tree method in staudenmeir/laravel-adjacency-list package. It seems missing

maybe because you didn't search? https://github.com/staudenmeir/laravel-adjacency-list#trees

Does anyone know why I keep getting
Attribute `price` is not filterable. Available filterable attributes are: ``. 1:6 price = 45500
when a closure is passed with a filter option.
Product's toSearchable
1public function toSearchableArray(): array 2 { 3 return [ 4 'id' => $this->id, 5 'title' => $this->title, 6 'slug' => $this->slug, 7 'price' => $this->price, 8 'description' => $this->description, 9 'category_ids' => $this->load('categories')->categories->pluck('id')->toArray(),10 'image' => $this->getFirstMediaUrl(),11 ];12 }The related search
1Product::search('', function (Indexes $meilisearch, string $query, array $options) {2 $options['filter'] = 'price = 45500';3 return $meilisearch->search($query,$options);4})->get();Thanks.
0
You have to use Postman and import the meilisearch into postman and goto to update the filterable attributes Alex shows you from Episode 31 onwards but from your doing $options['filter'] = 'price = 45500'; no its just 'price' but the problem is if your like me ad postman wont update the filterable attributes you got a problem Alex some where in the videos shows how to do it without post man but Ive not seen that yet hope that helps
0
https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/cookbooks/postman_collection.html#edit-the-configuration thats the link
0
The list of attributes that can be used for filtering in Meilisearch is null by default, to get around it,
add all your settings inside config/scout.php
1'meilisearch' => [ 2 'host' => env('MEILISEARCH_HOST', 'http://localhost:7700'), 3 'key' => env('MEILISEARCH_KEY', null), 4 'settings' => [ 5 \App\Models\Product::class => [ 6 'updateFilterableAttributes'=> ['director','genres',], 7 'updateStopWords' => ['the','a','an'], 8 9 ],10 ],11],and in the register method of the AppServiceProvider sync the settings with meilisearch. You can put it in separate service provider if you want
1public function register() 2 { 3 if (class_exists(MeiliSearch::class)) { 4 $client = app(Client::class); 5 $config = config('scout.meilisearch.settings'); 6 collect($config) 7 ->each(function ($settings, $class) use ($client) { 8 $model = new $class; 9 $index = $client->index($model->searchableAs());10 collect($settings)11 ->each(function ($params, $method) use ($index) {12 $index->{$method}($params);13 });1415 });16 }1718 }you can also put into an artisan command
0
Hey Selorm, adding that service provider do you need to use postman in order to make the update in meilishearch?
0
N you dont as long you add the values in the e service provider it will work just make sure your flush and import to "app\Models\Product" to update
0
Lee, thank you so much mate!!
0
Right Meilisearch is picking up the variation indexes
public function toSearchableArray() { return array_merge([
1 'id' => $this->id, 2 'title' => $this->title, 3 'slug' => $this->slug, 4 'price' => $this->price, 5 'category_ids' => $this->categories->pluck('id')->toArray(), 6 ], 7 8 $this->variations->groupBy('type') 910 ->mapWithKeys(fn ($variation, $key) => [1112 $key = $variation->pluck('title')13 ])1415 ->toArray()16);Dispaying variation not the title

Hi Alex, This package staudenmeir/laravel-adjacency-list doesn't seem to work anymore. I got tree notice "method tree() not found".
0
You need to add
1use HasRecursiveRelationships;to your model. ie Category or Variation
0
Hi Selorn I added it but it didn't work. You can check it on this link https://github.com/tuanphamxtasea/E-commerce/issues/1 Code in master branch

Hi Selorm, Do you have git repository ? I think I missing something. I want to compare with your code. Thanks
0
Fixed. I need to set parent_id to null in database
0
After looking at this problem Undefined array key "facetsDistribution" it seems that you habe to change the the facet attributes in post man and update them after do that ad following Alex still Undefined array key "facetsDistribution"
0
I got tree notice "method tree() not found". Why is that ?
0
you need to add "use HasRecursiveRelationships;" to your model "Category or Variation"
0
I have already added it. The result like it "[]". Still them same Khalil
0
make sure tree() at beginning at the root
like : Category::tree()->get()->toTree();
not like: Category::anythingelse()->tree()->get()->toTree();
if its already at the root and not working can you share your code on github or somewhere else to take a look at it

as an ecommerce app, this course should have image upload with file ponds. I understand we can do it, but rushing the course wont help us

Alex a quick one about the way Categories in EP 3 is setup using parent_id on the same table with slug being unique
How will a category structure of Brands having Nike as a child, same Nike will be a child of Men, women, kids, and accessories category, Adidas will have similar structure likewise all brands
1BRANDS2 NIKE ADIDAS3 MEN MEN4 WOMEN WOMEN5 KIDS KIDS6 ACCESSORIES ACCESSORIESClothing will also have Men, Women, kids as children, since slug is unique these items can't be duplicated. How will these issues be solved using the same structure demonstrated in Ep 3?
0
I think that maybe you can combine the slug from the parent category and the new category. Something like: nike-men, adidas-men

Ep. 28 , when removing the second item in cart , cart component get refreshed but with wrong item due to lack of key
in Ep <livewire:cart-item :variation="$variation"/>

Hey Alex, can you please make a video about facetsDistribution? Right now we only have this:
1$options['facetsDistribution'] = ['size', 'color'];But i think is important how to add this dynamically.
Hope this makes sense to you.

Now another question!! But now Livewire and image upload.
I'm applying what I'm learning in the course in a test e-commerce for the company I work for.
But I have the need that when the user chooses the product, he has to upload an image and I need to associate this image with the shopping cart and the order.
The upload itself, I'm already doing it and it falls into a temporary folder and saved in a temporary table to only later associate it with the user/cart/order.
But I can't find the best way to make this association. And I would like to use the media gallery as we use for product images.
2
Let's talk about Meilisearch!
It was very interesting and constructive to know how Meilisearch works to index products to speed up searches.
But let's suppose that we have an e-commerce administrative area and that we can add new products and variations, how can we make sure that meilisearch is always updated with the table of products and product variants that we have?
is it possible to do this directly from Laravel (PHP) or would we have to do a cronjob that every x time would update the meilisearch?
What would be the best way to get around this situation?
2
Have a look at their documentation. When you deploy the project there is the serve which will automatically run the commands everytime a record is added to the index.
0
Good to know, can you share the documentation link where you have this information?

Hi Alex the source code is bit confusing, are you preparing it like other series ?
1
can we also ask for realtime order updates and notifications on changes with orders within the website (not email), please. I know we can do $emit event but its not gonna do broadcasting. Doing that will fulfill the lack and take this project to next level!
I am waiting to hear back from you!
0
Use wire:poll for that
0
This is not recommended as it makes too many Ajax requests. Conventional method is use to use event etc
0
I strongly recommend you introduce 3d secure payment with livewire without cashier using only stripe-php library. Most of the banks in europe these days only accepts 3d secure payments.
2
Alex, any reason you stopped putting the source with the courses?
8
Did you guys got an update on source codes ?

Following, I want to see the source code also

Suggestion: When saving the order details like subtotal, you should also be storing the "current" price of the variation that is ordered. Reason is when displaying back the orders, you're displaying the price for the variation as it currently is in the products table, but that price may have changed since the order was placed. If that happens the price show for the order won't match up to the prices of the variation.
Also, you should be storing the shipping rate that was applied to the order. Same scenario applies here as my paragraph above. I'm sure you're getting my point. Basically any price that was used during an order should be stored for future reference so that it is accurate to that actual order and not current pricing.

On episode 22 (Adding items to cart) I get a strange 500 error when using this code block to update the existing item quantity.
This this is the block in question:
1public function add(Variation $variation, $quantity = 1) 2{ 3 if ($existingVariation = $this->getVariation($variation)) { 4 $quantity += $existingVariation->pivot->quantity; 5 } 6 $this->instance()->variations()->syncWithoutDetaching([ 7 $variation->id => [ 8 'quantity' => min($quantity, $variation->stockCount()), 9 ],10 ]);11}If I remove the IF Statement I can add 1 product, but if the IF Statement is there I get the livewire 500 error.
On the Network DevTools it say it's coming from the product-selector | Status 500 | Type: fetch
There is No Stacktrace or error. Only a blank black modal pops up.
0
Are you definitely using ->withPivot('quantity') on the Cart variations relationship? Another thing to check would be the getVariation method, if you could post it here.
0
Okay was definitely a Php error: found in the log Out of memory (allocated 23471325184) (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) Cart\Cart.php on line 65:

This fixed all the problems. =)

Hi Angel, You can use the dashboard page as a template and make some changes.

Hello, when creating a new category with new products and variations such as:
Category: Coffee Machines product: luxury espresso machine. variation: fresh milk container
The "coffee machines" category page also lists the variations of other products as filters.. a size 9 rainbow colored coffee machine would be nice, but it doesn't really make sense. did I miss something about this in the episodes? I think it has something to do with [facetsDistribution]?
0
Product variations basically as trees, is this a common way of doing this? It kinda makes sense but I have not seen it done like this while reviewing ecommerce solutions.
Also, I'm curious to see how that would work in an admin UI/UX wise. Everything is done now directly on the database, but that is not real life. Are you planning to do (some) admin functionality too?

Am getting this error on the ProductBrowser,

- this is addressed in episode 36 at 4:00 timestamp using postman
- in the meantime, what i did was not pass the
$optionsin$meilisearch->search()until the fix in episode 36 like so,
1$search = Product::search('', function ($meilisearch, string $query, array $options) {2 $options['filter'] = 'category_ids = ' . $this->category->id;34 return $meilisearch->search($query); // dont pass $options5})->get();0

Hey Alex, when selecting both colors e.g., white and black shouldn't there be both shoes visible?

That would probably be better, yes! Just adjust the Meilisearch query to use OR instead of AND.

Unable to Fetch and show $skuVariant result when selecting color and size. Also no result if using DD on skuVariant. Stuck here on 3:38min on 10. Faking adding the final variation video. Can anyone help me on how to solve this. Thanks.
0
Hey Deep. Could you put the relevant code in a GitHub Gist and I'll take a look?
0
Hey Alex, thanks for this course. I was playing around with this and notice that if you have one product in the "New in" category only with one color variation and size this shows the others. Is normal this behaviour? I mean, I think that the live wire component must show the variations related to the product that list.
So, if you select the variation "rainbow" this clear the other 2 variations and if you revert that selection all the variations shows up.
1
Thanks, I'll check this out and adjust the course with a fix.
0
Alex, if you haven't already planned on this suggestion I would like to see the browser query string updated with the searched filters so that when you click on a product and then hit the back button, the browser will bring you back to the same search filters. This concept is very important and logical in these kinds of searches.
1
Thanks for the suggestion. This should be pretty easy to achieve because Livewire has native support for this. I'll schedule in an episode to cover it π
0
Hi, when you use cknow/laravel-money like that, how do you handle price inputs in backoffice? Any advices?
0
One method of achieving that is to use a Mutator (setter) in your model (in this case Product) like below:
1public function setPriceAttribute($value)2{3 $this->attributes['price'] = $value * 100;4}So if user entered 50 for price, when the model is saving the record, it will multiply the price by 100, and when you show the price in your views it will show the formatted and expected price.
I hope this helps.

hi not sure why meilisearch returns a error when i try to add the search query. Laravel returns the following;
Attribute category_ids is not filterable. Available filterable attributes are: ``. 1:13 category_ids = 18
in the meilisearch mini-dashboard the id's are shown as following:
array [ 0:13 1:8 ]
im on laravel 9.0 and meilisearch v0.25.2
hope you can help me out.
3
As far as I know Meilisearch got updated and now you need to be explicit on which properties are filterable. Laravel Scout however has no way to define these filterable properties. There are some workarounds, but it requires a bit more work. See the Meilisearch documentation for the updateFilterableAttributes method. I got stuck here as well, will have a look tomorrow if I can find a workaround or if downgrading Meilisearch helps.
0
I got it working with Meilisearch v0.25.2 now. Like I said, recent versions of Meilisearch require you to be explicit about what properties can be filtered. However, Laravel Scout doesn't offer this option. By looking at the documentation of Meilisearch, you can use the updateFilterableAttributes() method for that. This method needs to run at runtime, so I created a ScoutServiceProvide for that and added it in the boot method.
$client = app(Client::class); $client->index('products')->updateFilterableAttributes([ 'category_ids' ]);
Now you can use category_ids as a filter in your ProductBrowser livewire component.
0
Brilliant! Got it sorted, thanks!!
0
Thanks for addressing this Marcel! A little later on (ep 36, I think), we explicitly set these, so hopefully it won't cause too much confusion.
0
Made it to the episode where you use Postman to add these filterable types now, didn't think of that! And although the category_ids are set explicit and you no longer need the serviceprovider for that, you can still use it to add the size and color attributes as well.
0
Tks! your solution solved my problem

AM not sure why my product variation relationship ain't working, I ended up doing this in the selectedVariationModel
return Variation::find($this->selectedVariation)->descendants()->depthFirst()->get();
Also my inline conditional statement aint working too. so I had to remove the "?" in the statement. e.g
From: {{ Str::title($variations->first()?->type) }}
To: {{ Str::title($variations->first()->type) }}
Is there anything am missing in my setup?
I get this error:
syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR) (View: .../resources/views/livewire/product/product-selector.blade.php)

So what if we need to make this cart in api like form mobile app or react app how we can handle the session ?

I won't be covering the API side in this course, but you could use any API authentication method that Laravel supports and then reference the cart UUID in any requests.
0
Thank you, so the guest cart in this case will not be in database?
0
Yep, the guest cart gets stored in the database. When the user authenticates, it's transferred to that authenticated user.

is anybody gettting this error using the Laravel Money package Problem 1 - Root composer.json requires cknow/laravel-money ^1.0 -> satisfiable by cknow/laravel-money[v1.0.0, v1.0.1, v1.0.2, v1.0.3]. - cknow/laravel-money[v1.0.0, ..., v1.0.3] require illuminate/support ~5.1 -> found illuminate/support[v5.1.1, ..., 5.8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require cknow/laravel-money:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require cknow/laravel-money:^2.1" if you know which you need.

Another cool course. Alex, how to implement if some product not have any variations???
0
In that case you'd just have to add a single variation for the product. Then, switch around the logic to automatically select the first variation if there's only one. I'll see if I can handle this towards the end of the course π

Thank you π

Hi Alex, will this cover any verification at checkout? For example, if two customers are buying the same item with low stock value?
0
Yes, this is covered! Checks are performed on the cart page and checking out and will flash a message to the user that their cart has changes.

Pretty Amazing course. Will you cover the functionality like deals/sale and discounts, where customers can add coupon codes for certain percentage of discounts later in course?
1
Not coupons yet, but that's an easy addition later down the line once we're done with the base stuff.

How would you deal with the URLs to make them more SEO friendly? e.g. categories/brands/nike/new-in instead of just /categories/new-in.

Great point Lee, I'll note this down and cover it later on in the course.

This looks amazing, Alex. Will you be making shipping costs dynamic based on destination city or country (i.e. city 1 = $5, city 2 = $10, etc.) ?
0
Not just yet, perhaps something for later on. Right now, they're just fixed shipping costs.

If you look what alex is doing addnig of the subtotal hes taking this from the variations just add the weight of the product in the variations and do the same thing like this public function weight() { return $this->instance()->variations
1 ->reduce(function ($carry, $variation) {23 return $carry + ($variation->product->weight * $variation->pivot->quantity);4 });5}on App\Cart\Cart then on the shipping types table put al the weights and names of shipping
The Livewire\Checkout
public function mount(CartInterface $cart) { $weight = $cart->weight();
1 $this->shippingTypes = ShippingType::where('weight', '>', $weight)->first()->get(); 2 3 $this->shippingTypeId = $this->shippingTypes->first()->id; 4 5 if($user = auth()->user()) 6 { 7 $this->accountForm['email'] = $user->email; 8 } 910}The problem ive got itll bring all the relevent shipping tables down that correspond with weight after the weight it has so if the weight is over 2 it wont bring down les than that weight but its bring down weights that are not needed gott a figure that out

Awesome Alex! Question though:
Will you be covering displaying/selecting variants with images and/or color options?
0
Hey Gavin. Did you mean having images attached to each variant (.e.g. when you add White Air Force 1 trainers, it shows a white shoe?). Or did you mean different variations? If it's the latter, you can pretty much add any 'type' of variation you like. It's completely flexible.
0
Yes, the first one. That's how for instance Amazon and Zalando do it and would be nice to get an idea of how to implement that. For me it's one of those things I just can't get my head around how to do it.
0
So, in the course we're going to be attaching images to each variant. The image gallery you see in the demo are just two images attached to products. So, when you add/buy a White Air Force 1, you'll see that image in your cart/orders.

Is this course now finished? I have enjoyed the content so far but if this is the end I am bitterly disappointed, I don't know if it's just me but I expected a lot more and think this is nowhere near complete yes it matches the demo on the first video but I just assumed that was a teaser and there was more behind the scenes, are we expected to always enter data directly into the database and manually upload product images via the command line, I expected that these things would at least be included in some sort of admin panel. There is also a lot of messy code were Alex says we'll come back to that later... we'll fix it we'll just do it like that for now... then never returns to it again? It still says under development but I have been following for over a week now with no new content.
ive tweaked a few things and deployed the app

this course is a very good reference for making a portfolio project and i hope Alex will continue updating this course
