Can't establish proper routes in Laravel 4

Question

So sorry to bother y'all, but I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm having a wee bit of a problem with my code in Laravel, being used to working from scratch rather than with frameworks. I made use of the Laravel Bootstrap Starter Site and I'm trying to add additional pages, but the routing isn't exactly co-operating. It's rather frustrating.

The Controller: app/controller/community/CommunityController.php

<?php
    class CommunityController extends BaseController {
        public function index() {
            return View::make('community.index');
        }
    }
?>

The View

@extends('site.layouts.default')


{{-- Content --}}
@section('content')
@foreach ($posts as $post)
<div>
    I'm just going to put this here... 

</div>

@endforeach

{{ $posts->links() }}

@stop

And finally, last but not least, my routes.

Route::get('community', array(
  'uses' => 'CommunityController@index',
  'as' => 'community.index'
));

Now, I have this nagging feeling that I'm missing something rather small, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. If anyone would be so kind to explain what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it. Especially since I can prevent this kind of problem happening in the future as well.

With friendly regards, User who still hasn't picked out a good name

Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention this. I removed public, so I don't know if that influences anything. If it does, again, sorry for forgetting to mention this in the beginning.

Answer 1

you can try to bind the whole route to the controller, using

Route::controller('community', 'CommunityController');

then in your controller you have to prefix the controller methods with HTTP verbs. Your index() method will be

public function getIndex() {
        return View::make('community.index');
    }

Answer 2

Just fire composer dump-autoload in root of your project folder from terminal / console.

It'll load your controller which is in subfolder.
