Laravel 4 route - laravel

Question

I've got a problem with using URL::route. There is a public function in my controller called AuthController called delete_character, here's how it looks:
public function delete_character()
{
$player->delete();
return View::make('index')->with('danger', 'You have successfully deleted your character!');
}
Also, I've created a named route:
Route::post('delete_character', array(
'as' => 'delete_character',
'uses' => 'AuthController#delete_character'
));
All I want to do is to execute the $player->delete. I don't want it to be a site, just when I click a button it's gonna delete the player.
I've also done the button:
<td><a class="btn btn-mini btn-danger" href="{{ URL::route('delete_character') }}"><i class="icon-trash icon-white"></i> Delete</a></td>
But I constantly get MethodNotAllowedHttpException. Any hints?

Answer 1

In my example, I am using GET request method (POST is used when form is being submited, for instance) to capture this action.
I pass ID of client I wish to delete in the reqeust URL, which results into URL in this form: http://localhost:8888/k/public/admin/client/delete/1 (You should post it from form, according to your example/request).
Not posting whole solution for you to force you to learn! My answer is not 100% identical to your situation, but will help, for sure.
// routes.php
Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin'], function(){
Route::get('client/delete/{id}', 'Admin\\ClientController#delete');
});
// ClientController.php
<?php
namespace Admin;
use Client;
class ClientController extends BaseController
{
...
public function delete($clientId)
{
$client = Client::findOrFail($clientId);
// $client->delete();
// return Redirect::back();
}
...
}
// view file, here you generate link to 'delete' action
delete
