Reorder - attach subcategories to many parent categories

apinard · April 3, 2023, 8:33pm

Hi,

I have a model called Member and another one Team. It’s a belongsToMany relation.

Right now, I followed the example in the test-plugin repository ;

Where “Web” is a Team, “Mobile” another Team and all records below Members. The issue is I had to create a member twice since he was in two categories (ex: Web & Mobile).

Basically, what would be the best way to keep that functionnality (drag n drop), but instead of creating duplicates, to have the possibility to attach a subcategory to many categories?

I’m using OctoberCMS v3.

Thank you.

Or, maybe I’m taking the wrong approach.

Is something like below would be more appropriate / doable ? with a button Reorder (but I think I read a post here and it was not working.)

Hi @apinard

It is possible, all you need to do is satisfy this interface:

github.com

octobercms/library/blob/3.x/contracts/Database/TreeInterface.php

<?php namespace October\Contracts\Database;

use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

/**
 * TreeInterface
 *
 * @package october\contracts
 * @author Alexey Bobkov, Samuel Georges
 */
interface TreeInterface
{
    /**
     * getChildren
     */
    public function getChildren(): Collection;

    /**
     * getChildCount
     */
