Laravel 4 Versionable Package error: Class 'MyApp\Models\Eloquent' not found

Question

I'm trying to use the Versionable Package in my Laravel 4 app based on the new, trait based implementation like this

<?php


use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;

namespace MyApp\Models;

class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {

    use Venturecraft\Revisionable\Revisionable;
    ...

When i use this code above, I get this error

Class 'MyApp\Models\Eloquent' not found

I have also tried changing the namespace to app\models but it still shows the not found error.

Please could someone help me out here? I followed all the instructions on the Github page but as I'm new to Laravel, I may be missing something.

Answer 1

You could use either of the following solutions:

Change your class declaration to:

class User extends \Eloquent implements \UserInterface, \RemindableInterface

Or, simply remove the line:

namespace MyApp\Models;

I would recommend taking the second solution (removing the namespace) for now, until you are comfortable with namespaces in PHP.

Additionally, you should be using RevisionableTrait, not Revisionable, e.g.,

<?php

use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;

class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {

    use Venturecraft\Revisionable\RevisionableTrait;

Answer 2

You must write fully qualified name for Eloquent

class User extends \Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface
