Hi romit_k, In Laravel, a symbolic link, or "symlink", is a way to link one directory, such as storage/app/public, with another directory, usually public, so that the files in storage/app/public are publicly accessible. It works like a shortcut, allowing access to the files in storage/app/public through the public/storage URL. The symbolic link is created using the command php artisan storage:link in the command line.
@GendeDev I tried this also but not working maybe something happened with the htaccess file. Can you share the basic code for it?
Where is uploads/banners located?
You have a public\uploads\banners folder?
@jlrdw Yes, I have the public\uploads\banners folder in the root directory. Inside the banners folder images are placed.
@romit_k you should be able to display with the asset helper.
Example of one of my older apps:
<img src="{{ asset('upload/imgdogs') . '/' . $row->dogpic }}" alt="" class="image">
But not knowing your folder structure it's hard to say. I place main laravel out of web folders.
what is the url of your test site? Do you have to add /public/ to all your url?
Please or to participate in this conversation.
