Three steps:

  • Create a flag in the users table (defaults to false)
  • After a user logs in, if his flag is false show the pop up
  • Flip the logged in user flag to true in the users table

@surendramannam1 Ok no problem.

If you installed Laravel from scratch, I suggest you follow this Doc, this will create all the login views and register views and handle all your session authentication

So since you finished your first part (creating a flag in the users table) then all you need to do in your home page controller something like this:

// Hint: Auth::user() is the currently signed in user object.
$first_time_login = false;
if (Auth::user()->first_time_login) {
    $first_time_login = true;
    Auth::user()->first_time_login = 1; // Flip the flag to true
    Auth::user()->save(); // By that you tell it to save the new flag value into the users table
}

// Now send the variable $first_time_login to your view
return view('pages.yourviewname', ['first_time_login' => $first_time_login]);

And in yourviewname.blade.php template, based on the value of $first_time_login you can show/hide a certain div, for example:

@if ($first_time_login)
    <div>This div will show on your first time to log in only</div>
@endif

Please don't hesitate to ask again if you are still struggling, that's basically why Laracasts exists :D, and btw accept the answers that really answers your question, I asked you to do it only if it answered your question, thanks man and happy coding.
