Hi guys in case you are using laravel and you decide to use mandril

here is what you do ,

simply go to https://mandrillapp.com/

create your account click on domain and add your domain

pretty easy right , but theres more

You will now navigate to zohomail and sign up

then you follow the step by step instructions.

For me that I am using digital oceans you can use the image below as a guide


because you will need to set up CNAME , MX , but its pretty straight forward

after doing all that , you then go back to maildrill to verify your webmail

an email is sent to the new webmail then you are good.

Hi guys , have you ever tried downloading wordpress on your local server and try to activate a plugin only for you to get a form

requiring you to add your ftp details like the image below , here is a quick solution


navigate to your wordpress folder , I will assume you are using apache



$ cd /var/www/html/


$ ls lart

// to view the list of the dir lets assume your worpress folder is the one below


drwxrwxr-x 7 plumptre plumptre 4.0K Feb 17 13:17 wordpress



//all you need to do is to do chown using the apache name



$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wordpress



// so the folder will look something like this


drwxrwxr-x 5 www-data www-data 4.0K Feb 17 12:45 wordpress



Then you are good to go .

Inorder to figure out the apache name you can just put the code below in a file


<?php echo(exec(" whoami " ) ) ; ?>

like in my case this echoed www-data

Hope this helped

spymybox:
please how can i generate The SHA 512 value productidtransactionreferencemackey. on my site can you help bro ?

like I explained earlier the $hash value we are trying get is the value in the form below

<input name=”hash” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $hash; ?>” />

inorder to do this, you will need to concatenate these values together , I intentionally made some of these values

constants so you can just include them in your file since they wont change .

I have explained how I got the values earlier.

$concatenation = $txnref.P_ID.P_I_ID.$amountwp.SITE_REDIRECT_URL.MAC_KEY;

then php comes with its own hash , below


$hash = hash(‘sha512’,$concatenation);

so this is the $hash value you add to the form below

<form name=”payform” id=”payform” action=”<?php echo INTERSWITCH_URL; ?>” method=”post”>
<input name=”product_id” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo  P_ID ; ?>” />
<input name=”amount” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $amountwp ; ?>” /> <!– adjusted amount to interswitch  –>
<input name=”currency” type=”hidden” value=”566″ />
<input name=”site_redirect_url” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo SITE_REDIRECT_URL; ?>” />
<input name=”site_name” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo SITE_NAME; ?>” />
<input name=”txn_ref” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $txnref; ?>” />
<input name=”pay_item_id” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo P_I_ID ; ?>” />
<input name=”hash” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $hash; ?>” /> <!-- add $hash here -->
<input name=”cust_name” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $name; ?>” /> <!– cust_name user fullname–>
<input name=”cust_id” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $email; ?>” /> <!– cust_id user email–>
</form>

if you noticed, I did not add any submit button ,thats because I used ajax , but you can add a manual submit

button as long as it goes to the url "INTERSWITCH_URL" which is this "https://stageserv.interswitchng.com/test_paydirect/pay"

if it goes well ,you will be redirected to the payment page , but you know you will be required to create a database to

store the values also , so that you can have a log incase you need to check or whatever but they actually made this

compulsory because, the interswitch guys will confirm this before moving you LIVE ,just put that in mind as a side

note

Hi guys,


For all of you that experiencing this error below when you are trying to do a $http get request

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://domainWhereTheGetRequest No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8100' is therefore not allowed access.

The issue for this is CORS "Cross-origin resource sharing" is a mechanism that allows restricted resources

so Since CORS is only an issue when running your app in development mode with ionic serve, and not when running as a mobile app packaged with Cordova, a simpler option is to just disable CORS altogether for local development. For Chrome for example there's a plugin called "Allow-Control-Allow-Origin: *" that lets you disable CORS.

here is the url below

Hello guys,

I have worked on a few payment platforms before but this particular one gave me alot of

headaches

also due to the poor documentation , it can be very frustrating but then I decided to do a

quick guide to help anyone facing this.

I had some help from a guy “Akinyele ” after reading some steps he wrote on his blog.


Firstly , there are some basic parameters you will be given from interswitch,

the file is usually called webpay demo merchant , so its the information here that you will use

to set up


1. product_id : This value will be in the demo document from interswitch
2 Amount : The amount, note that this will be in kobo ,thats the way you send it and this can be done by multipling it with 100
3 Currency : This value will be in the demo document usually 566 for naira
4 site_redirect_url : This will be the page you will be redirected to after the payment , here is where you will pickup the request from
interswitch service and know if the transaction was successful or not , here is also where you can
display your transaction receipt
5 site_name : website name
6 cust_id : this is should be unique , I used email
7 txn_ref : this should be a unique code , you can use the time() orappend it with something, the fact is that it much be unique
for every transaction
8 MacKey : This value will be in the demo document, it very long about 100 char or so

9 $hash -> this is a hash you need to create by concatenating some values together , its very important because if there is any little
mistake you wont even see the payment page to begin with , every thing has to be on point, it will also be 512 hashed
10: pay_item_id : This value will be in the demo document from interswitch


To make things easy we can define a constant file and include it in your scripts for the variables that wont change
it will look like this below

define(“SITE_NAME”,”MY SITE NAME”);
define(“BASE_PATH”,”http://localhost/mysite”);
define(“MAC_KEY”,”xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”);
define(“P_ID”,2909); //product id
define(“INTERSWITCH_URL”,”https://stageserv.interswitchng.com/test_paydirect/pay”);
define(“P_I_ID”,101); //pay_item_id
define(“SITE_REDIRECT_URL”,”http://localhost/mysite/response.php/”);





<form name=”payform” id=”payform” action=”<?php echo INTERSWITCH_URL; ?>” method=”post”>
<input name=”product_id” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo  P_ID ; ?>” />
<input name=”amount” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $amountwp ; ?>” /> <!– adjusted amount to interswitch  –>
<input name=”currency” type=”hidden” value=”566″ />
<input name=”site_redirect_url” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo SITE_REDIRECT_URL; ?>” />
<input name=”site_name” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo SITE_NAME; ?>” />
<input name=”txn_ref” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $txnref; ?>” />
<input name=”pay_item_id” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo P_I_ID ; ?>” />
<input name=”hash” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $hash; ?>” />
<input name=”cust_name” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $name; ?>” /> <!– cust_name user fullname–>
<input name=”cust_id” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $email; ?>” /> <!– cust_id user email–>
</form>

$amountwp = amount * 100;

Then the $hash we will form will look like this below
$concatenation = $txnref.P_ID.P_I_ID.$amountwp.SITE_REDIRECT_URL.MAC_KEY;
$hash = hash(‘sha512’,$concatenation);

If all things go well you should see the payment page, but note that you will need to store data in the db I wont cover that part though that pretty basic.

After payment you will redirected to the response.php page here you need to make use of the webpay service

1. note that it returns transaction reference

$txnRef = $_POST[‘txnref’];
$xml = $plumptre->getresponse(P_ID,  MAC_KEY, $amountwp, $txnRef);
$response_code = $xml->ResponseCode; //00 means successful
$response_descr = $xml->ResponseDescription ; //Approved Successful

in the above code I am using the xml there is a function I created getresponse() it accepts 4 values
the product id, the mackey, amount * 100, also the transaction ref
so you can create your receipt using the response code if 00 its successful etc



Navigate to my blog to view the getresponse() function details

I havent had time to explain better,

If you look at the images I attached below you will see two different error pages ,

The colorful one is the Whoops error I was talking about , you can see it from the title , I actually prefer it that is why I go through those

steps before to make it display when using laravel 5.

On the other hand, the other one is the error page that appears when you install laravel 5 ,

you dont need any setting whatsoever , rather than to make the APP_DEBUG to true in your .env file

I dont really like it because its not as detailed and perhaps

less colourful but its your choice really to choose the one that works for you

Hi peeps,

Have you ever worked on an application on laravel 5, but when you get an error

what you see is a white screen ,

what you need do a chmod 777 -R on the storage folder in your laravel application,

then you get the normal error , but for me I actually prefer to use the whoops error

this was in laravel 4 because its very detailed but it has been yanked off in laravel 5

A quick way to do this is first editing your composer.json file and adding

"filp/whoops": "~1.0", under the require so it looks somthing like this below

	"require": {
		"laravel/framework": "5.0.*",
                "illuminate/html": "~5.0",
                "filp/whoops": "~1.0",
                "intervention/image": "^2.3"  
	},

you then go to laravel app from your terminal and do:

sudo composer update, after that you navigate to apps/Exceptions/handlers.php

add this method below to the Handler class:

    protected function renderExceptionWithWhoops(Exception $e)
    {
        $whoops = new \Whoops\Run;
        $whoops->pushHandler(new \Whoops\Handler\PrettyPageHandler());

        return new \Illuminate\Http\Response(
            $whoops->handleException($e),
            $e->getStatusCode(),
            $e->getHeaders()
        );
    }      
       

then you look for a method "render " then add this in the method

             if (config('app.debug'))
        {
            return $this->renderExceptionWithWhoops($e);
        }    

so it will look like this below

public function render($request, Exception $e)
	{
            
             if (config('app.debug'))
        {
            return $this->renderExceptionWithWhoops($e);
        }    
            
		return parent::render($request, $e);
	}

        
        
        
        
    /**
     * Render an exception using Whoops.
     * 
     * @param  \Exception $e
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    protected function renderExceptionWithWhoops(Exception $e)
    {
        $whoops = new \Whoops\Run;
        $whoops->pushHandler(new \Whoops\Handler\PrettyPageHandler());

        return new \Illuminate\Http\Response(
            $whoops->handleException($e),
            $e->getStatusCode(),
            $e->getHeaders()
        );
    }      

then you are done

if you dont want to create any fancy page , you could just redirect to the logout page


navigate to app/Exceptions/Handler.php

in the render method just include this


if($e instanceof \Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException)
{
return redirect('/auth/logout'); //so it kills the session and takes you where you wil login easily
}

The first time I tried to deploy my application on the server after upgrading to laravel 5.1

all I saw was white screen , I was surprised

since I had already been working with laravel 5 and had deployed it a few times on the same server so I thought it was just business as usual

plus all my settings were ok....

I keep getting array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array, in the browser, has anyone encountered such?

hey, what version of laravel are you using ? By default app/storage is the location for log files,

I believe the error is probably the way you wrote an array or something remember there are different ways of writing these thing

hi guys,


I don't know if you have tried opening your website just to see this error below

file_put_contents(/var/www/html/laravel/bootstrap/cache/services.json): failed to open stream: Permission denied

here is the easy fix

from your terminal

get into your application dir

php artisan cache:clear

chmod -R 777 storage

composer dump-autoload


you might need to do sudo if you not the root user though ,this is laravel 5.1 for laravel 4 you will need to change

chmod -R 777 storage to chmod -R 777 app/storage

Hello peeps , I dont know if you have notice this error "TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php line 53"

sometimes when you are trying to login , it looks alot like the image below



see images below

Laravel provides an easy method of protecting your application from cross-site request forgeries, it uses CSRF Protection

and its can be done by using form helper in your application like this below

{!! Form::open() !!}

{!! Form::close() !!}

From laravel 5 , the form helper has been yanked off , but you can always easily integrate it to your laravel 5.1

application I will cover that in a latter tutorial,

The solution to this error is just navigating to your auth/logout page so it will just destroy the session and login from the

login page again. But if you where designing application for users , you wont want them to see the hideous error page or

even if you have a good error page you still need to find a way to solve the issue for them.

Here is what you do

Create tokenerror_page.blade.php error page that will navigate people to where the will logout from the auth/logout page

the route may look like this below

Route::get('/token_error_page', function () {
return redirect('welcome/tokenerror_page');
});</div>
<strong>the page tokenerror_page.blade.php could contain this</strong>
<div class="well">
<div class="margin-40 score text-center"><i class="fa-5x fa fa-frown-o"></i> well this is embarrassing
<a>Login from here &amp;raquo &amp;raquo</a></div>

see image below


Then you navigate to app/Exceptions/Handler.php

in the render method just include this

if($e instanceof \Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException)
{
return redirect('/token_error_page');
}

this will catch the exception and navigate to the error page that you have created and they can click on the login from here button

and this time your users will be able to signin without no errors

$accounts = Account::where('gender','=','male');

$accounts->each(function($account)
{
    $account->name ="Ademola Plumptre";
    $account->save();
});

The code above works by @jacob05 but you can also do it this way below , there are different ways really, its always good to just pick the one , you

are comfortable with.

$accounts = Account::where('gender','=','male')->get();
       
foreach($accounts as $account){ 
          
    $account->name ="Ademola Plumptre";
    $account->save();
                  
       }

Its good to know we have laravel peeps in the house I will try to keep the post coming and hopefully we will all learn a thing or two from ideas we

share together .

This worked but I didn't know could do such in Laravel 5.

Yeah you can easily override the methods in the AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers trait

by copying the methods to your AuthController Class, easy navigation if you are using netbean as I am , just press ctrl and click on

AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers from the AuthController Class , so you can just easily modify both methods below to suit your purpose

public function getRegister()
{
//code
}

public function postRegister(Request $request)
{
//code here
}

@jidez007 thanks av updated the code , leaving it that way might just bring confusion to peeps.
