Working on a Laravel 4.2 project. What I am trying to accomplish is pass every URI pattern to a controller that I can then go to the database and see if I need to redirect this URL (I know I can do this simple in PHP and do not need to go through Laravel, but just trying to use this as a learning experience.)
So what I have at the moment is this:
Route::group(array('domain' => 'sub.domain.com'), function()
{
Route::get('?', 'RedirectController#index');
});
I am routing any subdomain which I deem as a "redirect subdomain" ... The ? is where I am having the problem. From what I have read you should be able to use "*" for anything but that does not seem to be working. Anyone have a clue how to pass any URL to a controller?
And on top of that I would ideally like to pass the FULL URL so i can easily just check the DB and redirect so:
$url = URL::full();
Try this:
Route::group(array('domain' => 'sub.domain.com'), function()
{
Route::get('{path}', 'RedirectController#index')
->where('path', '.*');
});
And your controller will reseive the path as first argument
public function index($path){
// ...
}
In case you're wondering, the where is needed because without it {path} will only match the path until the first /. This way all characters, even /, are allowed as route parameter

I am trying to add a new route to my application and can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting a 404 error. It looks like the physical path is looking at the wrong directory. Currently looking at D:\Web\FormMapper\blog\public\forms but should be looking at D:\Web\FormMapper\blog\resources\view\layout\pages\forms.blade.php
My request URL:
http://localhost/FormMapper/ /works fine
http://localhost/FormMapper/forms /doesn't work
http://localhost/FormMapper/forms.php /No input file specified.
my FormsController:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class FormsController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('layouts.pages.forms');
}
}
My web.php:
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('layouts/pages/login');
});
Route::get('/forms', 'FormsController#index');
My folder structure looks like this:
My config/view.php
return [
'paths' => [
resource_path('views'),
],
'compiled' => env(
'VIEW_COMPILED_PATH',
realpath(storage_path('framework/views'))
),
];
you must use dot for this. In your controller change to this:
return view('layouts.pages.forms');
If your route only needs to return a view, you may use the Route::view method. Like the redirect method, this method provides a simple shortcut so that you do not have to define a full route or controller. The view method accepts a URI as its first argument and a view name as its second argument. In addition, you may provide an array of data to pass to the view as an optional third argument:
Route::view('/', 'layouts.pages.login');
Route::view('/forms', 'layouts.pages.forms', ['foo' => 'bar']);

After tracking digging deeper I determined that the issue was that IIS requires URL rewrite rules in place for Laravel to work properly. The index.php and '/' route would work b/c it was the default page but any other pages wouldn't. To test this I used the
php artisan serve
approach to it. and everything worked properly. Unfortunately I am unable to do this in production so I needed to get it to work with IIS.
I'm trying to update data in the database
but it returns error 404 not found in postman
Route::put('/products/{id}','productController#update');
Just add 'Accept: application/json' header to request.
Please provide more code so we can find exactly where your problem is.
I assume you wrote the route in the api.php file and not in web.php file.
If you do so, you must enter the route as api/products/1.
You have to be aware of the route group prefix as well if you are using it. Every routes inside a group prefix will be wrapped and requires the prefix string in the beginning every time you want to access it.
For instance:
in web.php file:
Route::group(['prefix' => 'api'], function () {
Route::put('products/{id}', 'productController#update');
});
# this will require you to access the url by tyiping "api/products/1".
and in the api php file (this is the more likely for new users have to be aware):
Route::group(['prefix' => 'api'], function () {
Route::put('products/{id}', 'productController#update');
});
# this will require you to access the url by tyiping "api/api/products/1" since the api.php file will automatically wrap your routes within an api prefix.
and one more thing you need to know, if you are using a getRoutesKeyName method on your model, you should follow wether the wildcard to use id's or maybe slug based on what you type inside the method.
For instance:
public function getRoutesKeyName(){
return 'slug';
}
# this will require you to type "products/name-of-product" instead of "products/1"
here is the URL i want to access an articel in Laravel.
http://mysite.test/art-entertainment-articles/poetry-articles/guide-praising-comments-1.html
now article_slug is "/art-entertainment-articles/poetry-articles/guide-praising-comments-1.html".
i made a route like this.
Route::get('/{any:.*}', 'ArticlesController#article');
but it is showing error 404 not found. now i want to get article by matching slug like this.
$article = Article::where('article_slug', '=', $article_slug)->first();
what should i write in route? it breaks at slashes and count not read the method.
You are probably better off using the fallback function like so
Route::fallback(function () {
//
});
This will catch all routes that are not defined above it. Then you can add the logic to hit your controller and figure out the article you require from the url.
I have a route
Route::get('/abc', function () {
return view('common.abc');
});
When I access http://domain.com/abc it's work well.
And in Controller, I use
Redirect::to('/abc')
it's work well.
==> BUT, I need to call redirect outside Controller (Model, Lib etc....) How can I do that? I always get an error when call redirect outside the Controller.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
Redirect::to(url('blah-blah'))->send();
You can also use named routes with parameters like so:
Redirect::route('route.name.here', ['foo' => 'bar'])->send();
If you are in a controller, you normally return the redirect. However, outside of a controller, you need to use ->send() to tell it to "go now".
I think this should help.
abort(200, '', ['Location' => '/abc']);
I did small research and it seems it's impossible to use Laravel redirect in a model(), for example.
But you could redirect manually to URL:
$url = route('/abc');
header('Location: '.$url);

I am using Laravel 4.
I have an old url that needs to be routable. It doesn't really matter what it's purpose is but it exists within the paypal systems and will be called regularly but cannot be changed (which is ridiculous I know).
I realise that this isn't the format url's are supposed to take in Laravel, but this is the url that will be called and I need to find a way to route it:
http://domain.com/forum/index.php?app=subscriptions&r_f_g=xxx-paypal
(xxx will be different on every request)
I can't figure out how to route this with laravel, i'd like to route it to the method PaypalController#ipbIpn so i've tried something like this:
Route::post('forum/index.php?app=subscriptions&r_f_g={id}-paypal', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
But this doesn't work, infact I can't even get this to work:
Route::post('forum/index.php', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
But this will:
Route::post('forum/index', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
So the question is how can I route the url, as it is at the top of this question, using Laravel?
For completeness I should say that this will always be a post not a get, but that shouldn't really make any difference to the solution.
Use this:
Route::post('forum/{file}', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
And then in the controller, use
public function forum($file) {
$request = Route::getRequest();
$q = (array) $request->query; // GET
$parameters = array();
foreach($q as $key => $pararr) {
$parameters = array_merge($parameters, $pararr);
}
}
You can then access the get parameters via e.g.
echo $parameters['app'];
you can use route redirection to mask and ending .php route ex:
Route::get('forum/index', ['uses'=> 'PaypalController#ipbIpn']);
Route::redirect('forum/index.php', 'forum/index');
