Laravel 4 - Setting up routes -

i'm working on site have inherited , having little trouble routing controller.

when visit url www.domain.com/banners/statistics, won't return anything.

i noted when try , link page via banner statistics gives me error on home page.

routes.php

route::resource('banners', 'bannercontroller'); route::get('banners/{banners}/activate', 'bannercontroller@activate'); route::get('banners/{banners}/deactivate', 'bannercontroller@deactivate'); route::get('banners/{banners}/delete', 'bannercontroller@delete'); route::get('banners/{banners}/preview', 'bannercontroller@preview'); route::any('banners/{banners}/cropresize', 'bannercontroller@cropresize'); route::get('banners/statistics', 'bannercontroller@statistics'); 

bannercontroller.php

public function create()     {         $data['title'] = 'create banner';         $data['disciplines'] = discipline::lists('name', 'id');         return view::make('admin.banners.create', $data);     }      public function statistics()     {       return view::make('admin.banners.statistics');     } 

the resource controller provides multiple routes.

including :

get /resource/{resource} redirecting show action of controller.

list of created routes : http://laravel.com/docs/controllers#resource-controllers

so when call

banners/statistics

laravel think want call show action "statistics" parameter.

to avoid this, can put custom routes above resource controller route.

route::get('banners/{banners}/activate', 'bannercontroller@activate'); route::get('banners/{banners}/deactivate', 'bannercontroller@deactivate'); route::get('banners/{banners}/delete', 'bannercontroller@delete'); route::get('banners/{banners}/preview', 'bannercontroller@preview'); route::any('banners/{banners}/cropresize', 'bannercontroller@cropresize'); route::get('banners/statistics', 'bannercontroller@statistics'); route::resource('banners', 'bannercontroller'); 

this way laravel call custom route before routes created resource controller.

you can use only , except if don't need of resource controller routes.

route::resource('banners', 'bannercontroller',                 array('except' => array('show')));
