Protecting all admin/ routes with auth in Laravel

Question

I am brand new to laravel and am setting up admin panel authorization on my first application. The way I have my files setup currently setup is:

controllers/
             


        

Answer 1

In your admin/login route you have an unnecessary return before the Auth::logout() call, nuke that and it should fix it up.

Another issue here is that only your one 'admin' route is getting filtered. You could wrap all of your admin routes with a Route::group() and apply the 'auth' before filter or you could use Route::filter('pattern: admin/*', 'auth') too.

For the second issue, is your Admin Dashboard controller class named Admin_Dashboard_Controller and if so, do you have an action_index() or get_index() function in there returning a view?

(I'm assuming you're using L3 here btw.)
