Invalid text representation with Postgresql about laravel-administrator

Hey @guiguidoc, can you tell me where you're getting this error? What action are you performing?

When I access to the index page of a model

I'm looking into this at the moment. To give you an idea of where I'm coming from...I only ever tested this in MySQL! I'm actually really happy that you posted this here because I was curious to see what happens in postgresql. I'm going to try to set up a postgresql database today and isolate the issue.

Hey @guiguidoc. I've come up with a fix for this that should account for all possible scenarios. I couldn't cast the $id as an integer because sometimes people use non-integer values for ids. Instead, I changed the default $id value from boolean false (which PostgreSQL has an issue with) to integer 0. This should solve your issue, but please let me know if it hasn't. You can either grab the 2.3.0 source or make the changes from that commit directly (it's really simple...just a single line).

Hey janhartigan,
Thanks for the fix, Am now running your example app fine on pages Admin, Actors and Box office .
However i now get an error when viewing 'Films' and 'Theatre'

SQLSTATE[42883]: Undefined function: 7 ERROR: function format(numeric, integer) does not exist
LINE 1: ...films.film_id) AS num_actors, (SELECT CONCAT('$', FORMAT(SUM...

HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

SQL: SELECT DISTINCT films.id, films.*, (SELECT CONCAT(directors.first_name, ' ', directors.last_name) FROM directors WHERE films.director_id = directors.id) AS director_name, (SELECT COUNT(actors_films.id) FROM actors_films WHERE films.id = actors_films.film_id) AS num_actors, (SELECT CONCAT('$', FORMAT(SUM(box_office.revenue), 2)) FROM box_office WHERE films.id = box_office.film_id) AS box_office FROM "films" GROUP BY "films"."id" ORDER BY "films"."id" DESC LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0

Bindings: array (

Let me know if you want a stack trace.

And, Thanks for your work on this bundle. Looks good.

Hey @kentvv. The examples use some MySQL functions (such as FORMAT) in the selects. If you're using PostgreSQL, you should give this a look: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5419199/how-to-format-money-in-postgresql. So, for example, replace FORMAT on this line with to_char.

Perfect. Thanks for that.

Great...I'm glad that it worked. So now I sort of know that it works in PostgreSQL! Woot. You guys have really helped me out on this one :)
