Laravel routing groups - laravel

Question

I have a question about routing groups. I have two types of users and I can not use the role system. Following the laracast email verification video I was able to get a new type of user to work. So I can login and register no problem. However when I have both types of users routes going it starts rejecting logins and such.
I even tried separating the admin user routes and putting the artist user routes on a different php document but still will not allow two types of logins or to view the proper dashboard.
I have tried using namespace inside the group, prefix, and tried middleware to no avail.
Here's the routing code.
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('/artist', function () {
return view('artist');
});
Route::get('/sponsor', function () {
return view('sponsor');
});
Route::get('/viewer', function () {
return view('viewer');
});
Route::get('/contact', function () {
return view('contact');
});
// This is for the Artist Linkings
//Route::group(['middleware' => 'artist'], function () {
//Route::auth('artist');
//Route::get('art/dashboard', 'SessionsController#index');
//Route::get('art/dashboard', ['middleware' => 'artist', function() {
//return view('art/dashboard');
//}]);
//});
//Route::get('art/register', 'RegistrationController#register');
//Route::post('art/register', 'RegistrationController#postRegister');
//Route::get('register/confirm/{token}', 'RegistrationController#confirmEmail');
//Route::get('art/login', 'SessionsController#login');
//Route::post('login', 'SessionsController#postLogin');
//Route::get('/logout', 'SessionsController#logout');
//Route::get('art/dashboard', 'SessionsController#index');
//});
// Need to add the password stuff ect
// Route::group(['prefix' => 'viewer', 'namespace' => 'Viewer'], function () {
// require app_path('Http/Routes/viewers.php');
// });
// This is for all the Viewer Linkings
Route::get('viewer/register', 'ViewerRegistrationController#register');
Route::post('viewer/register', 'ViewerRegistrationController#postRegister');
Route::get('viewer/register/confirm/{token}', 'ViewerRegistrationController#confirmEmail');
Route::get('viewer/login', 'ViewerSessionsController#login');
Route::post('login', 'ViewerSessionsController#postLogin');
Route::get('/logout', 'ViewerSessionsController#logout');
Route::get('viewer/dashboard', 'ViewerSessionsController#index');
//});
//}]);

Answer 1

You can use this .
For artist user as you define
Route::group(["middleware" => ["auth.artist"], "prefix" => "artist","namespace"=>"Artist"], function() {
Route::controller('artist', 'UsersArtistController');
Route::controller('controles', 'controlsArtistController');
});
For viewer user if no any auth needed
Route::group("prefix" => "viewer","namespace"=>"Viewer"], function() {
Route::controller('Viewer ', 'UsersViewer Controller');
Route::controller('controles', 'controlsViewerController');
});

Route::group(['as'=>'admin.','prefix'=>'admin','namespace'=>'Admin','middleware'=>['auth','admin']], function (){
Route::get('dashboard','DashboardController#index')->name('dashboard');
Route::resource('tag','TagController');
Route::resource('category','CategoryController');
});
Route::group(['middleware'=>['auth']], function(){
Route::post('favorite/{post}/add','FavoriteController#add')->name('post.favorite');
Route::post('review/{id}/add','ReviewController#review')->name('review');
});
Route::group(['as'=>'user.','prefix'=>'user','namespace'=>'Author','middleware'=>['auth','user']], function (){
Route::get('dashboard','DashboardController#index')->name('dashboard');
Route::resource('post','PostController');
});
