Can't customize UserCrudController

[jorguerra]

I followed the instructions to customize the UserCrudController but I haven't been able to make it work.

What I did:

I've created a new controller

<?php
    namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;
    use Backpack\PermissionManager\app\Http\Controllers\UserCrudController as CrudController;
    use Illuminate\Contracts\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

    class UserCrudController extends CrudController
    {
        public function boot()
        {
            parent::boot();
            if(backpack_auth()->check() && backpack_auth()->user()->hasRole('entrepreneur'))
            {
                $startup_id = backpack_auth()->user()->admin?->id ?: null;
                static::addGlobalScope('userFilter', static function(Builder $builder) use($startup_id){
                    $builder->whereRaw("id in (select user_id from empresa where empresa.id={$startup_id})");
                });
            }
        }
    }

In the file app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php inside the method register I have added the following code.

 $this->app->bind(
    \Backpack\PermissionManager\app\Http\Controllers\UserCrudController::class, //this is package controller
    \App\Http\Controllers\Admin\UserCrudController::class //this should be your own controller
);

What I expected to happen

I expected to visualize different users filtered by the startup to which the user logged in belongs. They shoudn't see admins either.

What happened:

Nothing, none behaviour has changed.

What I've already tried to fix it:

Different things but without success

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version: Backpack 5.x, Laravel 9, MySQL 8

Hey @jorguerra ,

Which part didn't work for you? Was the UserCrudController not extended properly? If you dd('got here'); in your UserCrudController::boot(), does it reach that point? I assume yes, so this doesn't look like a bug, but an implementation error. So I'm going to close the issue - we keep Github for bugs only.

But feel free to reply here, we might be able to help with advice. Personally:

• I wouldn't do that in the boot() method of the Controller, I'd do it in setup();
• I wouldn't add a global scope, but would add a local scope on the User model (say whereStartup()) then use that local scope on the query, for example: $this->crud->query = $this->crud->query->whereStartup($id);

Then again, that's what I'd do, your method should theoretically work too, though I've never tried it 🤷‍♂️

Cheers!

I tried the dd function but it's not reached

Then the problem is that your custom AdminController was not reached at all. Take another look at the way you extended UserCrudController (binding) and fix that first:

// in some ServiceProvider, AppServiceProvider for example

$this->app->bind(
    \Backpack\PermissionManager\app\Http\Controllers\UserCrudController::class, //this is package controller
    \App\Http\Controllers\Admin\UserCrudController::class //this should be your own controller
);

// this tells Laravel that when UserCrudController is requested, your own UserCrudController should be served.
