Sentry 2 and Laravel 4 adding fields to the user model

Question

Im trying to add fields to the Users model that is based around Sentry 2 for Laravel 4.

I want to do it properly with migrations.

Is there a way to simply add to the sentry 2 migrations? or should i simply make my own migrations and add the required extra fields?

any guidance with the framework would be awesome!

If you want add some fields you need this:

• run Sentry Migrations: php artisan migrate --package=cartalyst/sentry
• create a migration to add custom fields to Users table: php artisan migrate:make --table=users
• example in funcion up():

Schema::table('users', function(Blueprint $table) { $table->string('new_field'); });

• And then extend the Sentry User Model:

Check this example is extending Sentry Model and full implementation example check this: Laravel 4 Backend and simple web site
