How to change the table name for the revision table

Question

How to change the table name for the revision table by default it is 'revisions'; But I want it to something like page_revisions cause there are many tables with different prefixes. So, I just need how to change the name via config in the model?

Answer 1

just specify a variable named $table in your revision model.

protected $table = 'page_revisions';

Answer 2

The table name is not configurable by the package.

If you want to do this, you will need to:

• Fork the package
• Update your composer.json to look at your forked package,
• Update the $table property in the Venturecraft\Revisionable\Revision model in your fork to use the page_revisions table, and
• Update the migration in your fork to create the page_revisions table.

However, once you fork the package, you will now be responsible for keeping it up to date with the original package (if you care about any updates).

Answer 3

I don't think forking is the right way. There's a way without forking, probably what Gokigooooks meant, but there are a few more steps necessary.

Make sure you've published the configuration (php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Venturecraft\Revisionable\RevisionableServiceProvider" ).

Next, create a modal Revision in your app folder with the following content:

<?php
namespace App;

class Revision extends \Venturecraft\Revisionable\Revision
{
    public $table = 'page_revisions';
}

Next, open the config file (config/revisionable.php) and change the model class:

<?php
return [
    'model' => App\Revision::class,
];

That way you only override the revision class and don't have to manage your own fork.
