Redirect to home page when trying to load pages

replied 8 years ago

Long story short: the AuthController has a bit of logic where it redirects you back to /home

Since you dont have a /home route but a /dashboard it tells you that no route exists for it

Just add the following to AuthController


class AuthController extends Controller
{
   protected $redirectPath = "/dashboard"; // <= this

...

If you really wanna know: the culprit trait is called RedirectsUsers

Julian thanks for your reply. I had this code snippet already in place (but with an apostrophe instead -changed it) . The thing is that now it keeps me on the same place (register) instead of where I want it to be (dashboard).

Here's my code: (snippet from AuthController.php)

class AuthController extends Controller
{
     use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;
    protected $redirectTo = "/dashboard";

please help me ?

Solution

So this is what I've done in DashboardController.php (controller of the page that gets the autheticated user):

public function retrieve()
    {
    	$user = Auth::user();
        return $user->name;
    }

I have added this function to get the user name.

Also I have changed the $redirectTo value to this:

 protected $redirectTo = "dashboard";

And now I can view the user name in the dashboard view.
