How can I use a Presenter on Activity model?

[pacoorozco]

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for your great work, in this and the rest of your projects.

I want to use a Presenter to show the activity log, but I've tried to extends \Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity and apply there a trait without success.

I'm using laracasts/presenter and these are the files I've created.

The presenter

use Laracasts\Presenter\Presenter;

class ActivityPresenter extends Presenter {

    public function causer()
    {
        return is_null($this->causer)
            ? '<span class="label label-info">system</span>'
            : '<span class="label label-success">'.$this->causer->username.'</span>';
    }

    public function messageAge()
    {
        return $this->created_at->diffForHumans();
    }
}

The Model

use Laracasts\Presenter\PresentableTrait;

class Activity extends \Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity
{
    use PresentableTrait;

    protected string $presenter = "ActivityPresenter";
}

Blade

{!! $activity->present()->causer !!}

The error

Call to undefined method Spatie\Activitylog\Models\Activity::present() (View: /var/www/resources/views/dashboard/_latest_activity.blade.php) (View: /var/www/resources/views/dashboard/_latest_activity.blade.php)

Any hint?

Have you set your new custom model in the config as the new activity model?
