Image not displaying in view. Laravel - laravel

In my Laravel project I'm trying to load an image into my view using blade but it displays as a broken link. I inspect it with firebug and the src is pointing to the image but nothing is displaying.
My image is located in my project's public/images/users/3/profilePictures/
Here is my <img> in the view.blade.php
<img class="com-profile-picture" src="images/users/{{ $follower->id }}/profilePictures/50thumb-{{ $follower->profilePicture->url }}" alt="{{ $follower->first_name }} {{ $follower->last_name }} Profile" width="50" height="50">
However I get this when I load the page:
When I inspect the image with firebug I see this:
That is the correct src and the image does exist in my public/images/users/3/profilePictures/ directory
Anyone know why this is happening?

This may be caused you are in a route which does not represent the base URL. You should generate the URL for your assets relative to the public/ folder. Use URL::asset('path/to/asset') to generate the URL.
{{ URL::asset("images/users/{$follower->id}/profilePictures/50thumb-{$follower->profilePicture->url}") }}
Or as #lukasgeiter mentioned you can simply use asset('path/to/asset') helper.

You can try with the
php artisan storage:link
else you can use this
A simple fix for the issue (linked broken error)
in .env file
APP_URL=http://localhost
this replace with the
APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
then the issue will be fixed.

delete already generated symlink and then run this command
php artisan storage:link

if you are using laravel, consider excluding public folder or any folder where your public files are store in .htacccess from folders that laravel control.
Do it like this in .htaccess
# Exclude directory from rewriting RewriteRule ^(public/) - [L]

Storage location before (Not Working) :
<img src="{{asset('storage/app/public/media/productImages/'.$list->image)}}" alt="" srcset="">
Working storage location :
<img src="{{asset('storage/media/productImages/'.$list->image)}}" alt="" srcset="">
Else try :
Deleting all the linked/shortcut folders created in public folder
Then recreating the link by running :
php artisan storage:link

Images not showing up in laravel

So I have images working on my dev environment, however when i try to see them on the production server I receive a 404 error, the images are located in storage/app/public folder, I have ran the following command:
php artisan storage:link
The output says it works however it is still a 404 error when navigating to /storage/imagefolder/image on the site
Technically images are accessible through the public folder, not the storage folder.
In your Code you can access them like:
<img src="{{ asset('imagefolder/image') }}" />
You can find the correct/final image url with:
dd(asset('imagefolder/image'));
First delete the old symlink
Then from the command:
php artisan storage: link
And to display files: ‌
<img src="{{ asset('imagefolder/fileName') }}" />
or
<img src="{{ /storage/imagefolder/fileName }}" />
File permission error on the existing link to storage from the public folder, deleting the link and re running the command fixed the issue.

How to fetch images from storage folder from an add-on-domain in laravel?

I have an add-on-domain as public_html/xyz.in. I am uploading images and images are getting stored inside storage/app/public/images folder. However when I am trying to fetch images from that folder, its showing 404 not found. Please help.
<img src="{{ asset('storage/app/public/images/tulips.jpg') }}">
The folder storage is not available to visitors. That's why you need to create a symbolic link from the public directory.
You can use artisan, to get a symbolic link
php artisan storage:link
You need to create a symbolic link of your storage folder. i.e storage/app/public to public/storage. if you have SSH access you can use php artisan storage:link as #wschopohl suggested. Else you can create a php script to create that symlink.
<?php
$target = '/home/user/domain/storage/app/public';
$shortcut = '/home/user/domain/storage';
symlink($target, $shortcut);
?>
After running you can see storage folder in your public folder. Now you can access image with <img src="{{ asset('storage/folder_name/image_name.jpg') }}">
You can create a storage link. run bellow command :
php artisan storage:link
And display:
<img src="{{ asset('public/storage/templates/image.png') }}" class="img img-thumbnail">

Laravel 5.8 how to display image from storage? My Git added

https://github.com/Loctarogar/Admipanel-to-manage-companies/tree/master/storage/app My git.
I linked storage to public directory with
php artisan storage:link,
but i can't show images from there. If i use
<img src="{{ asset ('storage/app/avatars/LOW6Fc2TBH8UoexcXLntQkzncXSDN6OsIt7KLbiG.jpeg') }}">
image doesn't shows. What i am do wrong?
That creates a symlink from public/storage to storage/app/public for you and that's all there is to it. Now any file in /storage/app/public can be accessed via a link like:
http://somedomain.com/storage/image.jpg
OR
One option would be to create a symbolic link between a subfolder in your storage directory and public directory.
For example
ln -s /path/to/laravel/storage/avatars /path/to/laravel/public/avatars
You forgot to enter in the public folder that storage:link creates...
Change
<img src="{{ asset ('storage/app/avatars/LOW6Fc2TBH8UoexcXLntQkzncXSDN6OsIt7KLbiG.jpeg') }}">
to:
<img src="{{ asset ('storage/app/public/app/avatars/LOW6Fc2TBH8UoexcXLntQkzncXSDN6OsIt7KLbiG.jpeg')}}">

Laravel 5.5 image is not showing from storage/app

I am using laravel 5.5. I have a form to upload image. Those images are storing into the storage/app folder. It is working fine. But when I try to show those images. Those are not showing.
I have tried with those ways to print my images.
<img src="{{ asset('storage/1539872957.a-nice-place-to-picnic.jpg')}}" alt="">
<img class="user_avatar" src="{{ url('storage/app/1539872897.IMG_20180804_120323.jpg') }}">
<img class="user_avatar" src="<?php echo asset('storage/1539455504.prakruth-resort.jpg');?>">
Here I am giving image name as static name just for checking.
I have also done php artisan storage:link and a shortcut folder named 'storage' is created in the public folder. But still images are not showing.
i think this Answer would help you.
you will have to create symlink from public/storage to storage/app/public first through this command
`php artisan storage:link`
Now any file in /storage/app/public can be accessed via a link like:
http://somedomain.com/storage/image.jpg
In your Controller use public driver like this:
\Storage::disk('public')->put('file.png',file_get_contents($request->file->getRealPath()));
the above file.png would be stored in 'public/storage'.
now you can access the image file like this:
<img src="{{ asset('storage/file.png'); }}" />

Laravel - link to a file saved in storage folder

When we do something like this:
Storage::disk('local')->put('file.txt', 'Contents');
How do you make a link to that file in a view? Something like this:
Download File
there are so many things in documentation and yet not even one example how to create a link to that file
Try this command on your terminal : php artisan storage:link, then laravel storage become public access.
Download File
UPDATE:
According to laravel docs, You can get the URL to the file like this:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
$url = Storage::url('file1.jpg');
Remember, if you are using the local driver, all files that should be
publicly accessible should be placed in the storage/app/public
directory. Furthermore, you should create a symbolic link at
public/storage which points to the storage/app/public directory.
Hope this helps!
Scenario--(working from a fresh Laravel 5.6 project install for reference):
With the existing default paths being /public and /storage/app/public and you want to physically store your logo.png image in the /storage folder and render it on your Welcome page, the process would go something like this:
In your terminal, navigate to your Laravel project folder.
Run command php artisan storage:link
Now create the folder /images in your /storage/app/public folder which gives you /storage/app/public/images.
Look in your /public folder and you will see the (shortcut) subfolders /storage/images
Copy a test image named logo.png into the /storage/app/public/images folder.
In your project's welcome.blade.php under /resources/views paste the
following code over the existing code:
<div class="content">
<div class="title m-b-md">
Laravel
<div>
<a href="/">
<img src="{{url('/storage/images/logo.png')}}" alt="Logo Image"/>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Save and open your project in your browser and you should see the logo image.
Having said all of that, later on you need a pdf folder to store uploaded pdf
files. Easy, just create a new folder in /storage/app/public called /pdf and
automatically the shortcut will appear in the /public folder. It is a once and "for all" solution.
