How to add forum routes to 'web' route groups to avoid errors

[jerryOkafor]

i have succeeded in integrating laravel and forum but one thing is left, the web guard middleware enbles session in laravel 5.2, so when i run /forum i get this errors:

ErrorException in 6829460faf86e4b23bc8a19c8baa92dc4b035c9e.php line 7:
Undefined variable: errors (View: C:\wamp\www\agron\resources\views\vendor\forum\partials\alerts.blade.php) (View: C:\wamp\www\agron\resources\views\vendor\forum\partials\alerts.blade.php) (View: C:\wamp\www\agron\resources\views\vendor\forum\partials\alerts.blade.php)

@Jerryhanks take a look: #97

This does not solve my problem, if any one has used the forum with laravel 5.2 then they should tell me.

I did, and I couldn't reproduce the issue. Did you set forum.frontend.middleware to web?

[jerryOkafor]

which folder is it. One more thing, i have installed it and the only thing i see is a page with no link for creating a category or thread or post or comment/reply, how can i start using it.

[Riari]

After publishing config via artisan vendor:publish, you'll find the option in config/forum.frontend.php.

Are you logged in? If so, are you using Laravel's standard auth or a third party authentication package? The forum uses Laravel's built-in Auth classes.

I am loged in and I am using larval standard Auth,

I have seen a link to create a new category but i get this error after creating a new catgeory

FatalErrorException in BaseModel.php line 138:
Call to a member function parameterNames() on a non-object

[Riari]

This is weird, but I have a feeling you're somehow using old package files. I say that because the line number in the current BaseModel for the line in question is 144, not 138. It moved down as of 3.0.2 with the addition of @deprecated and @todo lines.

Make sure you're using the latest version and that error should go away.

[jerryOkafor]

I am using 3.0

[jerryOkafor]

How do I update to the latest packed cos I just installed this package according the commands in the readme.md.

[antonkomarev]

A bit crunchy method, but it will do the trick.

Remove there lines from composer.json in your laravel root folder:

"riari/laravel-forum": "~3.0",
"riari/laravel-forum-frontend": "~1.0",

Then run composer update. It will remove package from your application.

After that you can install forum again from documentation.
