I keep getting: Unknown action [HomeController@showHome]
Route:
Route::get('/', ['before' => 'checkUserFilter'], 'HomeController@showHome');
Route::get('/createUser', 'UserController@createUser');
Filter:
Route::filter('checkUserFilter', function()
{
if (Auth::guest())
{
return Redirect::action('UserController@createUser');
}
});
Controller:
userController
public function createUser()
{
// removed everything else, the return redirect action isn't working.
return Redirect::action('HomeController@showHome');
}
homeController
public function showHome()
{
return View::make('home');
}
When a user loads the webpage, the filter checks if he's a guest or not, if he is, go to the createUser method in UserController.php. It creates the user, but it doesn't redirect back to HomeController. How can I stop the above error so it redirect back to the HomeController?
I also have another question: What would be a better way to place the return redirection action, besides in the method? I would like it if I can use this same method for multiple things, for example create a user in the admin control panel.
I assume your route to HomeController is where the problem exists.
Here are two possible solutions:
Solution 1: routes.php
Route::get('/', array('before'=>'checkUserFilter', 'uses'=>'HomeController@showHome'));
Solution 2: HomeController.php
public function __construct(){
$this->beforeFilter('checkUserFilter');
}
//showHome
Haven't tested it, but hope that helps.
