hello, could you please post your routes?

all links created are absolute paths. so when you're working on localhost the url generated would be localhost/route, so when you transferred it to your live server and has a domain somesite.com, it would be the same thing. somesite.com/route

if the output is localhost:8000/www.somesite.com then you are doing something wrong.

My routes are as follows:

Route::get('{name}', function($name) {
	$site = Site::where('name', '=', $name)->with(array('scriptures', 'titles.listings'))->first();
	
	if ($site) {
		switch ($name) {
			case 'home':
			case 'mission':
			case 'history':	
			case 'thoughts':
						
				return View::make('home', array('scriptures'=>$site['scriptures'], 'titles'=>$site['titles'], 'site_id' => $site->id));
				
				break;
			case 'board':
			case 'donations':
			case 'nationally':
			case 'locally':
			case 'physical':
			case 'spiritual':
			case 'science':
			
				return View::make('ul', array('scriptures'=>$site['scriptures'], 'titles'=>$site['titles'], 'site_id' => $site->id));

				break;
			case 'sites':

				return View::make('sourcelist', array('scriptures'=>$site['scriptures'], 'titles'=>$site['titles'], 'site_id' => $site->id));
			
			default:
				return Event::first('404');
				break;
		}
		return 'Variable is empty';
	}
	
});
Route::controller('users', 'UsersController');

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function() {

Route::resource('sites', 'SitesController');

Route::resource('sites.scriptures', 'ScripturesController');

Route::resource('sites.titles', 'TitlesController');

Route::resource('titles.listings', 'ListingsController');

});

I am trying to populate the links from MySQL, and they come up on my view as a link with the correct url, but when I click the link instead of going to the new site it adds localhost:8000/www.foo.com. That being said, all my routes work using localhost:8000/route

So upon further investigation it is because of my $name route slug that is picking up the link as a route and then throwing an error because it can't find that name in the DB. Is there any way around this, or a better way to have all my dynamic pages rather than making a route for each page individually.
