Framework: Inserting Related Models with Polymorphic Relation

[olivervogel]

I just tried the example for the Polymorphic Relation from the docs:

class Photo extends Eloquent {

    public function imageable()
    {
        return $this->morphTo();
    }

}

class Staff extends Eloquent {

    public function photos()
    {
        return $this->morphMany('Photo', 'imageable');
    }

}

class Order extends Eloquent {

    public function photos()
    {
        return $this->morphMany('Photo', 'imageable');
    }

}

With this code I tried to add a new Photo to a loaded Order:

// load order
$order = Order::find(1);

// create photo
$photo = new Photo
$photo->path = 'foo';

// save photo to the loaded model
$order->photos()->save($photo);

I noticed that imageable_type is not set automatically. Is this not supported and do I have to set it manually or am I doing something wrong here?

I'll look into it. For now, this should work:

$photo = $order->photos()->create(array('path' => 'foo'));

Added save method. Give it a go now.

Thank you Taylor ... works now.

I'm experiencing the same issue with the following code.

class History extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'history';

    protected $fillable = array(
        'historable_id',
        'historable_type',
        'eventable_id',
        'eventable_type'
    );

    public function historable()
    {
        return $this->morphTo();
    }

    public function eventable()
    {
        return $this->morphTo();
    }
}

class User extends Eloquent {

    ...

    public function history()
    {
        return $this->morphMany('History', 'historable');
    }
}

$history = $user->history()->create(array(
    'eventable_id' => $event->id,
    'eventable_type' => 'FooEvent'
));

The historable_id and historable_type are not populated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| id | historable_id | historable_type | eventable_id | eventable_type | created_at | updated_at |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  1 |               |                 |       1      |    FooEvent    |  --------  |  --------  |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a dump of the $history object and a dump of the query log.

I've been trying something similar to eoconnell. By that I mean trying to store more than 1 polymorphic relations in a single row. While I can manually set the 2nd I'd love a way to set both with 1 create()..
