The Blog module allows authorized users to maintain a blog. Blogs are a series of posts that are time stamped and are typically viewed by date as you would view a journal. Blog entries can be made public or private to the site members, depending on which roles have access to view content.

For establish relationships with other modules since we cannot edit our Iblog module directly, since this module is managed by the composer; we need to edit the config.php file in the folder /config/asgard/iblog/ of our application.

Navigate to the section titled Dynamic Relationships, by default it looks like this:

'relations' => [
        'category'=>[
         'store' => function () {
                return $this->belongsTo(
                    \Modules\Marketplace\Entities\Store::class);
            },
        ],
        'post'=>[
            'store' => function () {
                return $this->belongsTo(
                    \Modules\Marketplace\Entities\Store::class);
            },
        ],
]

Now we can access the information of the iblog Post or Category using $post->store->name o $category->store->name respectively.

Add data in Post or Category table You can add additional columns in the category or post table if really necessary. For example, if you want to add a relation column or an additional query field. We need to edit the config.php file in the /config/asgard/iblog/ folder of our application. there's a fillable key which contains an array of fillable fields for the object.

  /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Fillable user fields
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Set the fillable post and category fields, those fields will be mass assigned
    */
    'fillable' => [
       'post'=>[
           'options',
           'category_id',
           'user_id',
           'status',
           'created_at'
       ],
        'category'=>[
            'parent_id',
            'options'
        ]
    ],

Add the fields you want in this array.

  /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Fillable user fields
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Set the fillable post and category fields, those fields will be mass assigned
    */
    'fillable' => [
       'post'=>[
           'options',
           'category_id',
           'user_id',
           'status',
           'created_at',
           'store_id'
       ],
        'category'=>[
            'parent_id',
            'options',
            'store_id'
        ]
    ],
