Spatie Media Library plugin - How to get it to work inside a ManageRelatedRecords page?
I have the Spatie Media Library plugin installed and working in a normal resource, but if I try to use it in a
ManageRelatedRecords
page, I get SQL errors. Wondering how I can get it to work?
SQLSTATE[23000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'collection_name', table 'prism_test.dbo.media'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. (Connection: sqlsrv, SQL: insert into [media] ([model_id], [model_type], [uuid], [order_column], [updated_at], [created_at]) values (1026, App\Models\Crm\Account, 16cbffaf-e484-46f2-9f56-41d4b00a9910, 1, 2024-08-21 17:48:24.995, 2024-08-21 17:48:24.995))

i think you should chain tp component
Tried that, but no go
Same SQL is executed
doesn't even try to send the collection name
I'm not sure how to debug this because
ray
doesn't even get hit here:It appears to be related to the
Filament\Tables\Actions\CreateAction
class. If I instead use a header action via Filament\Actions\Action
rather than a table header action, it all works. Unfortunately I was hoping to make it work with the table header create action to be consistent with button placement.
I suppose I can maybe override the ->action()
on the CreateAction
maybe?You might need an AttachAction. You can’t just create spatie media items, they require being attached to a record.
It is assigned to model Account, but the collection is not set. so:
This doesn't work because it fails at this line: https://github.com/filamentphp/filament/blob/3.x/packages/tables/src/Actions/CreateAction.php#L83
Going to try this now.
Attach action isn't working either
I gave up and am using the regular
Forms\Components\FileUpload
component instead which is working great. Would really like to try again with Spatie media library if anyone has any ideas.I would say to put a recreation repo and we can test
Will do, thanks.
I created a reproduction repo and github issue here: https://github.com/filamentphp/filament/issues/14031

Ok I see why now, you are building it via a media relationship, whereas the SpatieMedia field is designed against a model, not a relationship.... So it try's to save as if it's a relationship and misses all the required elements off.
what you actually want is an action, let me see if I can do this
This will work as a table headAction for allowing 1 file
However, the way spatie media works is the collection defines what can be uploaded. So if you have 1 file it'll remove the others...
I tested your solution and it does work, but I don't understand why it only allows one file? Can you clarify that for me?
As I understand it, once you add a file to the collection the old entries for that model are cleared. It expects them to be loaded into the array to avoid ones being left over
Hmm, I might have to go the custom livewire component route then
Thanks for the help
You could allow multiple in the field which and fill the form with the record
But adding wouldn't be quite the same
Multiple did allow me to upload multiple but didn't fill the form automatically. Though, I'm sure I could get that working.
It does seem weird that it's essentially "syncing" rather than adding, but like you said it's setup to work that way instead of on a relationship. I think this is the part of the plugin code that is doing it. I know this isn't the default functionallity of spatie media library though because in another app that isn't using Filament, but just straight Livewire, I've implemented this and it works to add instead of sync/delete.
you could extend the field with your own and override whatever functionality you need to.
Thanks, I'll probably do that but will be another day
Hi @morty, did you make any progress on this?
I think I'm in a similar boat where I would like to have the media library as a ManageRelatedRecord page. Essentially, I'd like to upload files (from a create page) and then display them in a table like I usually would on ManageRelatedRecords page.
The route that I'm heading down is a bit messy where I end up with 2 morphMany relationships which I'd rather avoid.
No, I ended up just using the included file upload field and not allowing multiple file uploads at the same time.
Not ideal but it got the feature rolled out and I can improve on it when I have more time.
Fair enough - cheers for the reply
