Laravel custom error page if authorization fails - laravel

Question

I am trying to show a custom 403 file in laravel when authorization fails in my edit request.
I tried forbiddenResponse() but as it turns out it has been eliminated.
Then I tried failedauthorization() but this does not redirect as well and allows me to edit.
here is my request file
public function authorize()
{
$job_posting_id = $this->route('id');
$job_posting = Job_postings::where('id', $job_posting_id)->where('user_id', user()->id)->exists();
if($job_posting){
return true;
}
return false;
}
public function failedAuthorization()
{
return redirect('errors.dashboard.parent.403');
}
I have a folder called errors and inside there I have dashboard folder and parent where the error file is located.
How can I redirect to that page if authorization fails?

Answer 1

return abort('403')
Laravel documentation:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/errors#http-exceptions
if you make everything like in docs, you'll achieve:
url will stay the same.
template resources/views/errors/403.blade.php will be shown.
aslo response will have Status Code:403 Forbidden
do you want change url into http://www.examlpe.com/error403 ?
return abort('403') doesn't make redirect. It just shows a client that error has occured.
In your case it is easier to show different content in single script, than different scripts. Try to leave single error script as an "entry point". And in that script change output for different users. Imagine that 403.blade.php is a layout for a number of 403 error pages.

Answer 2

In your laravel folder open app/Exceptions/Handler.php paste the following code. That will return custom error page for 403 and 500 error.
public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
if ($exception instanceof CustomException) {
return response()->view('errors.custom_all', [], 500);
}
if ($exception instanceof \Spatie\Permission\Exceptions\UnauthorizedException) {
return response()->view('errors.custom', [], 403);
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}

public function authorize()
{
$job_posting_id = $this->route('id');
$job_posting = Job_postings::where('id', $job_posting_id)->where('user_id', user()->id)->exists();
if($job_posting){
return true;
}
return redirect('/error');
}
public function failedAuthorization()
{
return view('errors.dashboard.parent.403');
}
In your route
Route::get('error', 'YourController#failedAuthorization');

Answer 4

Go to the file Exceptions/Handler.php's report method.
public function report(Exception $e)
{
if(!Auth::check())
{
// Do whatever you want - redirect or return something
}
if($e instanceof HttpException && $e->getStatusCode() == 403)
{
// Do whatever you want - redirect or return something
}
return parent::report($e);
}
And wherever your authorisation failed, just write abort(403)
Hope this will help :)
