Hello everybody,
So I'm just wondering why, with out-of-the-box laravel 5.7, abort(403, 'My custom text') sets my custom text BUT if I do the same for 404 or 500 it doesn't set my custom text?
This is unusual.
Kind regards, Dev
You should be able to.
Make sure your error views (404.blade.php, or 500.blade.php) were not modified. 404.blade.php should look like this for instance:
https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/Base/blob/master/src/resources/error_views/404.blade.php
@TANGENTE - I can't find these Blades to be honest. Are they in /vendor or do they get published somewhere in my app's codebase?
@DEVMASTER - If you want to costumize this views, you need to create the blade yourself with the name of the error code inside resources/views/errrors folder(resources/views/errors/404.blade.php). Then when the error code is thrown, this blade you created will be rendered.
