I am using middleware to redirect a user if they don't meet certain criteria (haven't accepted terms and conditions!). They are redirected to /terms.
Middleware:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if (Auth::user()->terms === 0) {
return redirect()->route('getTerms');
}
return $next($request);
}
The above works perfectly.
Once the user 'accepts' the terms and conditions, I want to redirect them to the homepage (which currently works), however, the URL doesn't change. It still stays on /terms, even though they're on the homepage.
Controller 'accept terms':
$user = User::find(Auth::id());
$user->terms = 1;
$user->save();
return view('home');
The reason I need the URL to redirect back to /home is because I have a layout condition, that I need a view to be included when the user is not on the /term url.
Layout condition:
@if(!Request::is('terms'))
@include('layouts.check')
@endif
Why isn't the return view('home); working the same as it is in other functions?
Instead of returning the "home" view from your "accept terms" action, return a redirect to the actual home route.
return redirect()->route('home');
