I have recently got into developing with Laravel 4 and I had a question about routes.
For '/', I would like to have two different view pages based on the user's auth status.
If a user is logged in and is viewing '/', I would like to show them a view with admin controls and when a user is viewing '/' as a regular user without logging in, I would like to offer a general information view.
To accomplish this, I've been playing around with filter 'auth' and 'guest' but am having no luck. // app/routes.php
// route for logged in users
Route::get('/', array('before' => 'auth', function()
{
return 'logged in!';
}));
// for normal users without auth
Route::get('/', function()
{
return 'not logged in!';
}));
The above code works to a point where the as a logged in user, I am able to display the proper response but after logging out, I cannot see the proper response as a regular user.
Perhaps this is something that should be handled in the controller? If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be really helpful.
