i ve tried this method on my LoginController and it did not work it still redirect me to my user.home View that i ve deleted . obviously i got this error InvalidArgumentException in FileViewFinder.php line 137: View [user.home] not found.
<?php
public function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
$type = $user->userable_type ;
switch ($type)
{
case 'Student':
return redirect()->intended('/Student/Home');
break;
case 'Teacher':
return redirect()->intended('/Teacher/Home');
break;
case 'Company':
return redirect()->intended('/Company/Home');
break;
}
}
i don't think its this code, rather middleware is hijacking the request.
a common culprit is the redirectIfAuthenticated middleware. in there you will see /home. change that to some random string and see if you get sent there.
we can then work out why this is getting involved
Hello i ve fixed it by modifying App/Http/Middleware/RedirectifUser.php
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = 'user')
{
if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
$type = Auth::guard($guard)->user()-> userable_type ;
// dd($type) ;
switch ($type)
{
case 'Student':
return redirect('/Student/Home');
break;
case 'Teacher':
return redirect('/Teacher/Home');
break;
case 'Company':
return redirect('/Company/Home');
break;
}
}
return $next($request);
}
i ve tried to redefine my function in my LoginController.php but it didn t work so i ve kept it in the Middleware Php file
Bad!
You will have problems with this approach. Surely every request will be redirected?
At very least add a default:
Snapey Yes Every request actually it s redirected I know that it s a Bad approach but i did not find any solution else ! jlrdw yes i ve added a default File & add some Comments for Reusable Code !
if someone can help me to not edit the middleware File & everything work as I want it s gonna Be awesome
you were following the right approach in the first place. I suggested a way to identify that it was the guest middleware causing the issue, but I cannot see that you tried it?
