Laravel - Querybuilder with join and concat
Solution 1
Logan's answer got my started in the right direction. I also had to remove all of the 'user.' prefixes since it was calling the Users model already I suppose. This query worked:
User::select(DB::raw('CONCAT(last_name, ", ", first_name) AS full_name'), 'id')
->join('users_groups', 'id', '=', 'users_groups.user_id')
->where('activated', '=', '1')
->where('users_groups.group_id', '=', $group)
->orderBy('last_name')
->lists('full_name', 'id');
Thanks everyone! Hopefully if someone else runs into this they will find guidance with this question.
Solution 2
You do not need to select in DB::raw(), See the example
User::select(
'id',
DB::raw('CONCAT(first_name," ",last_name) as full_name')
)
->orderBy('full_name')
->lists('full_name', 'id');
Solution 3
In your second example you have DB::raw('SELECT ...')
. You need to remove the 'SELECT' keyword.

Im trying to pull all users from the users table who match a certain group in the users_groups pivot table. Im using Sentry 2 from Cartalyst btw.
This works to get all users with first and last name concatenated.
User::select(DB::raw('CONCAT(last_name, ", ", first_name) AS full_name'), 'id') ->where('activated', '=', '1') ->orderBy('last_name') ->lists('full_name', 'id');
when i try to change it to also filter users who do not belong to a certain group I get a syntax error.
User::select(DB::raw('SELECT CONCAT(user.last_name, ", ", user.first_name) AS user.full_name'), 'user.id', 'users_groups.group_id', 'users_groups.user_id') ->join('users_groups', 'user.id', '=', 'users_groups.user_id') ->where('user.activated', '=', '1') ->where('users_groups.group_id', '=', $group) ->orderBy('user.last_name') ->lists('user.full_name', 'user.id');
Any nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
