laravel 4 - inserting of multiple fields in array - laravel

Question

The following function in laravel stores my form input. I can't get it to store anything other than the author id and the title. It just won't store the keywords.
Below is the function in my Postcontroller.php
public function store()
{
$input = Input::all();
$rules = array(
'title' => 'required',
'text' => 'required',
);
$validation = Validator::make($input, $rules);
if ($validation->fails()) {
return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validation)->withInput();
} else {
// create new Post instance
$post = Post::create(array(
'title' => $input['title'],
'keywords' => $input['keywords'],
));
// create Text instance w/ text body
$text = Text::create(array('text' => $input['text']));
// save new Text and associate w/ new post
$post->text()->save($text);
if (isset($input['tags'])) {
foreach ($input['tags'] as $tagId) {
$tag = Tag::find($tagId);
$post->tags()->save($tag);
}
}
// associate the post with user
$post->author()->associate(Auth::user())->save();
return Redirect::to('question/'.$post->id);
}
}
Post.php (model)
<?php
class Post extends Eloquent {
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $table = 'posts';
/**
* Whitelisted model properties for mass assignment.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = array('title');
/**
* Defines a one-to-one relationship.
*
* #see http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#one-to-one
*/
public function text()
{
return $this->hasOne('Text');
}
/**
* Defines an inverse one-to-many relationship.
*
* #see http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#one-to-many
*/
public function author()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User', 'author_id');
}
/**
* Defines a many-to-many relationship.
*
* #see http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#many-to-many
*/
public function tags()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Tag');
}
/**
* Defines an inverse one-to-many relationship.
*
* #see http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#one-to-many
*/
public function category()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Category');
}
/**
* Defines a polymorphic one-to-one relationship.
*
* #see http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#polymorphic-relations
*/
public function image()
{
return $this->morphOne('Image', 'imageable');
}
/**
* Defines a one-to-many relationship.
*
* #see http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#one-to-many
*/
public function comments()
{
return $this->hasMany('Comment');
}
}

Answer 1

You are stopping the mass assignment of keywords with your model settings.
Change
protected $fillable = array('title');
to
protected $fillable = array('title', 'keywords');
