Change layout when user is logged in.

posted 10 years ago

@if ( $currentUser)
	@extends('layouts.in')
	@section('content')
@else
	@extends('layouts.login')
	@section('content')
@endif
@stop

Because this is not working and to be honest not my favorite solution, I wanted to do this in routes.php. But I have no idea how to do this.

I want to do something like this:

Route::filter('howto', function()
{
    if (Auth::check())
    {
        Route::get('/', [
            'as' => 'home',
            'uses' => 'DashController@index'
        ]);
    }
    else Route::get('/', [
        'as' => 'home',
        'uses' => 'PagesController@home'
    ]);
});

I didn't try it but I doubt that will work.

Any suggestions appreciated by me.

Your filter is actually pretty close, take the auth filter for example:

Route::filter('auth', function()
{
  if (Auth::guest()) return Redirect::guest('login');
});

Here we see the auth filter checking if the user is a guest or not, and if true, the filter redirects the user to a 'login' page.

We can add filter with similar logic to achieve what you want.

Route::filter('<whatever filter name here>', function()
{
  if (Auth::guest())
  { 
      return Redirect::action('PagesController@home');
  }else {
      return Redirect::action('DashController@index');
  }
});

Let me know if this helps.

I had the same issue and solved it using a ternary. In one view I also had to set some variables, which previously had been part of the extend, so I just moved it up.

<?php
$title = 'FAQ';
$active_menu_item =  'FAQ';
?>
@extends(Auth::user() ? 'layouts.app' : 'layouts.main')
