2.Then add the service provider to your config/app.php:
Riari\Forum\ForumServiceProvider::class,

3.composer require riari/laravel-forum-frontend:~1.0
Riari\Forum\Frontend\ForumFrontendServiceProvider::class,

4.php artisan vendor:publish

5.php artisan migrate

6.then click on mydomaiin.com/forum

i got a this error

Invalid argument supplied for foreach() (View: /var/www/html/resources/views/vendor/forum/category/index.blade.php)

in Category_controller you guys are mention columns name 'category_id ' but in db table only 'id ' column there .any reason for that ?

[Riari]

The category_id column does exist and it's used to specify which category a category belongs to, if any.

Which version of Laravel are you using?

[LakshmanKatragadda]

laravel 5.2.* some fields are not created at time of migration ex: category_id,description,private ... why ? and one more thing **i have already users table in my db ** .so at migration time its showing error users table already exits

[Riari]

Sorry, I can't reproduce the issue with Laravel 5.2 / laravel-forum ~3.0 / laravel-forum-frontend ~1.0. Is your setup completely fresh or is it an upgrade from an older Laravel or laravel-forum version?

[Riari]

i have already users table in my db ** .so at migration time its showing error **users table already exits

Nothing to do with this package. It doesn't create any user tables.

[LakshmanKatragadda]

setup completely fresh and Laravel 5.2 / laravel-forum ~3.0 / laravel-forum-frontend ~1.0

[watchwood]

Ran into the exact same problem. Persists when I manually enter an initial category into the database.

Laravel 5.4 / laravel-forum ~4.0 / laravel-forum-frontend ~1.0

[watchwood]

The following gets popped into the laravel.log file when it happens:

I fixed the problem by explicitly adding your forum api middleware to the application's route middleware in the Kernel. You should probably make a note of that in your documentation.

[Riari]

4.0 is supposed to register the middleware automatically from the service provider if the routing option is enabled (which it is by default). Seems like this might be a compatibility issue with Laravel 5.4. I'll test it soon.

[TheShakyCoder]

@watchwood same problem. Just found the error 'Class forum.api.auth does not exist'. What did you put in your Kernel exactly?

[watchwood]

@SierraKilo

    protected $routeMiddleware = [
		// other stuff here
		'forum.api.auth' => \Riari\Forum\Http\Middleware\APIAuth::class,
    ];

[watchwood]

@Riari It also appears that observers aren't working correctly in the stack that I have. Thread/Post counts aren't incrementing at all.

edit: And it's not letting me delete threads out of the box, either.

[Riari]

I have just pushed a few releases - one with the latest PRs, and one that fixes the Middleware issue in Laravel 5.4 (it's because the Illuminate\Routing\Router middleware() method has been renamed to aliasMiddleware()). Since you've fixed it in your code already, you don't need to upgrade unless you want the new stuff in 4.0.2.

I could not reproduce the observer or thread deletion issues. For the latter, make sure your policy is set up to allow deleting (the policies are purposefully very restrictive by default).

[stormhillmedia]

I just loaded the package today and had the same issue and solution as @watchwood.
