Override Activitylog resource

[7krasov]

Hi! Thanks a lot for this nova package!
Could you please help me to override your Activitylog resource? Trying within NovaServiceProvider or my custom service provider - no success...
I would override fields method to output user name instead of id, but can't find the way. Maybe you could help...

Thanks!

You my look the Customize section in the README file, create your owner resource file extends the original like this and override the fields method:

class Activity extends Activitylog
{
//...

    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),

            Text::make('Description'),
            Text::make('Subject Id'),
            Text::make('Subject Type'),

            Text::make('Causer', 'causer_id')->displayUsing(function ($user_id) {
                return \App\User::find($user_id)->name;
            }),

            Text::make('Causer Ip', 'properties->ip')->onlyOnIndex(),
            Code::make('properties')->json(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE),
            DateTime::make('created_at'),
        ];
    }

//...
?>

Got it! :-) I tried just to "rebind" a resource with the inherited, with the same name via Laravel DI instead of getting a new name and override it within config...
Works as you said, thank you 👍

I'm having a similar problem but I think I'm missing something:

• I've created a resource, Customactivitylog, in the app/Nova directory, that overrides Activitylog from your package
• But I'm not sure what config value to provide?

[paul-muckypuddle]

Sorry, for some reason Nova wasn't registering the new resource. For other folk, adding:

protected function resources()
{
    parent::resources();
    Nova::resources([
        \Yourcustomactivitylog::class
    ]);
}

to NovaServiceProvider.php then using the resource name yourcustomactivitylogs in the tool config will work
