Any suggestion for display gender in form about laravel-administrator

[rokcarl]

You can do it like this (I'll assume this is a User model):

Inside the User model

    public function get_gender_formatted() {
        return (($this->get_attribute('gender') == 0) ? "male" : "female";
    }

Once you do this, you can pretend in your administrator models that you have a column (in your database) gender_formatted, which will give you what you want.

The other way I think you can do it is with Enum (https://github.com/FrozenNode/Laravel-Administrator#enum-1)

    public $edit = array(
        'type' => array(
            'title' => 'Gender',
            'type' => 'enum',
            'options' => array('0' => 'male', '1' => 'female')
        )
    );

@rokcarl thanks for suggestions but it didn't work both :(

• for first suggestion Laravel-Administrator call database field directly I can't use Getter & Setter Methods
• for enum Laravel-Administrator check if options key is numeric it will use value not the key

Since I think the first suggestion is the way to go, I'll comment on that one.
Administrator doesn't call the database directly but uses the Eloquent model. Therefore, what you put in that model, kind of is the database for the administrator (it uses that). On top of that, I've tried it and it works and also when you download administrator, there is an /examples/application directory that uses the same trick.

That means you either didn't try it or made an error. Look at my suggestion again or follow the code in the /examples/application.

Post back if you made it work.

Yep as @rokcarl mentions, it's Eloquent all the way. The reason why I made this bundle is so you can use your Eloquent models normally with an administrative interface. If you find any problems where it's not working as you expect Eloquent should, I'd probably consider it a bug. However, @rokcarl is correct in that it should work.
