When a user is logged into my application, there is a dropdown in the navigation to access administration. However, when a user stumbles across an error page (404, for instance) it doesn't show them being logged in. Instead it shows "Login". Why is this?
Here's my code.
@if (Auth::check())
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="dropdown">
<a style="cursor: pointer;" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i> {{ Auth::user()->name }} <b class="caret"></b></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>
<a href="/admin/dashboard"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-tasks"></i> Dashboard</a>
</li>
<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
<li><a href="/logout"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></i> Logout</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
@else
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li><a href="/login"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-in"></i> Login</a</li>
</ul>
@endif
