Laravel 5.4 cannot access img resource in public symlink subfolder - laravel

I've created a sub folder for each user in local storage disk with this command:
if(! Storage::disk('public')->has("users/".$username."_".Auth::user()->id)){
Storage::makeDirectory("public/users/".$username."_".Auth::user()->id);
and it works!
So now when i save a file, all goes in the user's folder, that is in:
storage/app/public/users/userX
storage/app/public/users/userY
etc.
Then I build a sim link with the command: php aritsan storage:link
And it works.
But when im trying to serve the files i've allways nothing to serve!
If im using code like:
Storage::url("$urlToFile");
where $urlToFile contains something like "public/users/userX/file.png"
it gives me back:
/storage/users/userX/file.png
and I cant use it even if i put function like assett() in front!
how can i solve it?
Thanks in advance!

You have to set url in config/filesystem.php
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],

You can do it by Storage::disk('public')->get($url);

According to the docs, you should access your images like: asset('storage/users/userX/file.png');, not public/users/userX/file.png as you are using.

Laravel 8 - Find image url

I am using Laravel Framework 8.68.0.
I am having the following configuration in my filesystems.php:
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
'public_collectible_img' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public/collectibles_img'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/collectible/image',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
The following link works:
http://localhost/myProject/public/storage/collectibles_img/0_test.jpg
The following link does not work:
http://localhost/myProject/public/collectible/image/0_test.jpg
All my images are in the following folder:
Any suggestion why my second link does not work?
I appreciate your replies!
The filesystems.php only affects Laravel's internal filesystem management (e.g. moving a file from within Laravel, saving an uploaded file, etc.), not the actual HTTP server which is what serves static files such as images. If you want to have a custom URL, you can either modify your web server's configuration (e.g. .htaccess), or create a Laravel route and controller to serve files from within Laravel. The latter approach will require that you map the requests to files yourself, and each request would have the overhead of loading PHP.
Alternatively, you could create a symlink from public/storage/collectibles_img to public/collectible/image (you would need to create the collectible folder first, then set up collectible/image as a symlink to public/storage/collectibles_img).

SOLVED - Laravel 5.8 Save file and image in another project and retrieve it

i have two project in laravel 5.8.
First in sub1.domain.com
Second in sub2.domain.com
With sub2 i save images and files.
I need to view the image and files from sub2 and sub1.
Where is the best directory store for sharing the image and files ?
I have a shared hosting.
Thanks.
UPDATE - SOLVED
I have changed my filestystem config in this mode:
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
// 'root' => public_path() . '/uploads',
'root' => '/home/xxx/www',
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
Now the file is stored in "public_html" of my "website.com" on my hosting for every subdomain.
Thanks everybody.
The docs state
The public disk is intended for files that are going to be publicly
accessible. By default, the public disk uses the local driver and
stores these files in storage/app/public. To make them accessible from
the web, you should create a symbolic link from public/storage to
storage/app/public
Assuming all your images & files will be publicly accessible, follow those instructions.
Then, instead of using asset('storage/file.txt') to print out the publicly accessible url, you could use a value from your .env file to get the path, which would be something like "https://sub2.domain.com/images/" and then just append your file name.
Or write a custom helper method that allows you to specify the subdomain, something like custom_asset('storage/file.txt', 'sub2')
you can upload in public folder as symbolic link is hard hard to make cpanel
modify ur
filesystems.php
in
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path('app/public/uploads'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/uploads',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
in above linke
ur upload path will be
public/uploads
and
\Storage::url('example.png') to get full image url

Laravel storage file

in my shared hosting (without SSH) my laravel installation save file from form only in storage/app/public/namefolder but not in storage/namefolder and this causes the files not to be displayed.
How can I solve it? Is there anything I need to change in the filesystem of the online site on shared hosting? or do I have to do anything else?
thanks a lot
this is where i store my file
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
i think your problem that you can not make the symlink command for storage as you do not has a SSH
php artisan storage:link
this command will create a symlink - a shortcut- to storage directory inside public directory,
there is several ways to apply this command with out accessing server via SSH
Route::get('artisan-command', function(){
Artisan::call('storage:link');
});
or you can call it with in a class
after you run the command every thing will work just fine , and no need to change config more than usual stuff.

error `Missing storage symlink` for voyager admin panel in cPanel

I have uploaded a voyager admin panel in my cPanel.
It gives error Missing storage symlinkand images are not shown of new added item.
Suppose I want to add a new user. All information is shown of new user accept user avatar.
In locally error is easily fixed by running the cmd php artisan storage:link.
But in live server how to fixed this error ?
I have already change the path of storage driver in config/filesystems.php. Change the path from storage_path() to public_path()
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
FIXED !!
Delete public/storage folder and run the command in cmd
php artisan storage:link
It is a path related problem. I have changed the App_url in my .env file. Now it's successfully showing the image.
I had the same issue. It happened because the file structure or something changed from the original Laravel setup. For me, I switched from using Artisan to vagrant.
I resolved by logging into vagrant and removing the original symlink:
rm -rf /home/vagrant/code/public/storage
I went ahead and created the new symlink but you should now be able to click the Fix link in Voyager admin to create the new one.
ln -s /home/vagrant/code/storage/app/public /home/vagrant/code/public/storage
You need to change the storage path into de filesystems.php file
to:
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('./../../public_html/storage'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
this works for me !
cd public_html
ln -sr ../storage/app/public storage
I've fixed this by deleting the public/storage link and folder and then create again the folder and then:
php artisan storage:link
EDIT:
I also had to set this configuration in the filesystems.php
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path('storage'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
I've fixed this by most easy way:
remove storage folder from public directory, then hit fix button from
admin area

Laravel 5.4 producing public/uploads/avatar folder

I have a fundraising platform built with Laravel 5.4. I've been successful in removing the public from the URL and hiding both the .env and composer.json files from view, but I can't upload an avatar to the upload/avatar folder from the admin or user account because Laravel produces a public/uploads/avatar folder and uploads the avatar into it instead of into the upload/avatar folder where it needs to go.
I have tried updating routes and usercontroller but to no avail. I'm not sure where to look now.
Can someone help me out with telling me where I go to change the code so Laravel no longer produces a public/uploads/avatar folder when I upload an avatar so the avatar goes into the upload/avatar folder instead?
Thanks.
In Filesystems.php
Change this:
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path(),
],
To this:
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => '/',
],
