I've looked around to see if I can find this specific problem, but have been unsuccessful so far.
The problem is pretty simple. I'm using an artisan-generated UsersController to handle RESTful communication on the /users directory. GET works just fine, but whenever I POST a form to /users, instead of executing the store() method properly like it should, it throws the MethodNotAllowedHttpException error. When I made a new handler postNew(), and POST to users/new, it works just fine. I could just use that, but I would really like to figure out what the problem is so I can use the standard RESTful method.
Additionally, I'm not using Laravel's form generator because I intend to cache every page for speed, and don't want to generate a unique id for every form I send. I saw on another post that this might be causing problems, but couldn't figure out a way to integrate it into a solution.
<form id="signup-form" method="POST" action="users">
<label>First Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="firstName">
<label>Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="lastName">
<input type="submit" value="Sign Up Free!">
</form>
That's my code.
controller:make will only create a resource controller, it will not define its route(s).
Since you mention that you created a new controller method postNew(), and it works when you send a POST request to users/new, I will assume that you have created a RESTful controller route and not a resource route.
RESTful controller route (not compatible with controller:make):
Route::controller('users', 'UsersController');
Resource controller route (compatible with controller:make):
Route::resource('users', 'UsersController');
The differences between these two controller types are outlined on the Controllers docs page: RESTfull vs. Resource.

I will get MethodNotAllowedHttpException when submitting a form in laravel
Html file
<form method="POST" action="/cards/{{$card->id}}/notes">
<input name="_token" type="hidden" value="{{ csrf_token() }}"/>
<textarea name="body" class="form-control"></textarea>
<button type="submit">Add Note</button>
</form>
routes.php
Route::post('cards/{card}/notes','NotesController#store');
NotesController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
class NotesController extends Controller
{
public function store()
{
return request()->all();
}
}
Make sure you don't have a route, say a Route::post with a parameter that lies in front of the route you are trying to hit.
For example:
Route::post('{something}', 'SomethingController#index');
Route::post('cards/{card}/notes', 'NotesController#store');
In this case, no matter what you try to send to the cards route, it will always hit the something route because {something} is intercepting cards as a valid parameter and triggers the SomethingController.
Put the something route below the cards route and it should work.
MethodNotAllowedHttpException is thrown when no matching route (method and URI) was found, but a route with a matching URI but not matching method was found.
In your case, I guess the issue is because URI parameters differ between the route and the controller.
Here are two alternatives you can try:
Remove the parameter from your route:
Route::post('cards/notes','NotesController#store');
Add the parameter to your controller:
public function store($card)
{
return request()->all();
}
I have tried to solve this error in lumen and it took me quite a lot of time to figure out the problem.
The problem is with laravel itself.
Sometimes if you have another route like GET device/{variable}, laravel stops in this first route...
So what you need to do is change the route POST device to POST device/add

In a case where the form action is set to something like:
action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_test&layout=edit&id='.(int) $this->item->id); ?>"
and the form contains and hidden input:
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="testctrl.save" />
How does joomla route to the controller method?
I would understand if it had the task in the form action, but I can't see how it picks up the task from the hidden input in order to route to the appropriate method in the testctrl controller method
It's not that complicated. In your com_mycom directory there is a file called mycom.php. In it you have some lines that look like this:
$controller = JControllerLegacy::getInstance('Contact');
$controller->execute(JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('task'));
$controller->redirect();
See an example here:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/components/com_contact/contact.php#L15
So that's what takes the task and instantiates an instance of that controller object, and pulls the task from the hidden form input value that you pointed out. It passes the task to the controller from there.
The controller receives the request here:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/components/com_contact/controller.php#L19
You might be asking "why don't I see it receiving the task that the component file sends it?". Well that's because the controller for this component is a child-class of the JControllerLegacy class:
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/legacy/controller/legacy.php#L701
public function execute($task)
{ ... }
This function is the execute function which receives the task from the component. This is the parent class of your controller task. Hopefully this all makes sense!
When you set the controller name explicitly with hidden fields
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="testctrl.save" />
or
<input type="hidden" name="controller" value="testctrl" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="save" />
or even not specifying the controller with task , just used it with view name.
All the cases your component file like com_test have a file with test.php
it includes Joomla library files.
jimport('joomla.application.component.controller');
when you check the library file it have two function for getting related controller and models.
createFileName() and getInstance() in libraries/joomla/application/component/controller.php
These two function do the task.
The above files are applicable only for Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.x
Edit
For Joomla3.x
In Joomla 3. x The file structure little bit changed.
Instead of jimport('joomla.application.component.controller'); Joomla 3.x uses
$controller = JControllerLegacy::getInstance('Content');
This will call the JControllerLegacy class in libraries\legacy\controller\legacy.php
you can find the same functions createFileName() ,getInstance() on the above path.
Hope its helps..
I'm new to joomla2.5 and i'm working on a form component that will simple get data from user and save to database but i have confusion regarding form redirect.
please tell me what means of this:
index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.register
please define me "task=registration.register" including dot also.
index.php?option=com_test2&view=test2
please define different between view and task and what is joomla2.5 url structure fundamentals.
Thanks with regards
In Joomla,
View stands for component views.
A component have multiple views like Joomla default component com_users have different views
registration,profile etc
Task means the function inside your controller file.
like here
index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.register
registration controller have a function name with register
In the view
index.php?option=com_test2&view=test2
means component com_test2 have a view folder with test2
In other way you can access the register function inside your controller is by using hidden fields. If you have a form to submit then something like.
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_users"/>
<input type="hidden" name="controller" value="registration"/>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="register"/>
You will get more details about Joomla component structure from here
Hope its helps..
I'm having problem with the Laravel 4, nested routing. I can display the create method form but can't store. Here is the code, I'll just come to the point.
I have a base Resource Controller and another nested controller
This is in my Routes.php
Route::resource('profile','ProfileController');
Route::resource('profile.bands','BandsController');
I don't think I have to display the profile's code here, I'll show you the BandsController
public function create($profileId)
{
return View::make('bands.create',['title' => 'Create Band Profile' , 'profileId' => $profileId]);
}
This will just display the form, as you know.
The form is:
{{Form::open( [ 'route' => ['profile.bands.create',$profileId]])}}
<input class="input" type="text" name="name" value="" />
<input class="input" type="text" name="city" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
{{Form::close()}}
Now, I didn't understand, the form action url looks good when I view it in browser but when I submit it I get, this error.
Symfony \ Component \ HttpKernel \ Exception \ MethodNotAllowedHttpException
open: E:\server\www\gigmor.com\gigmor\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Routing\Router.php
// The method not allowed exception is essentially a HTTP 405 error, so we
// will grab the allowed methods when converting into the HTTP Kernel's
// version of the exact error. This gives us a good RESTful API site.
elseif ($e instanceof MethodNotAllowedException)
{
$allowed = $e->getAllowedMethods();
throw new MethodNotAllowedHttpException($allowed, $e->getMessage());
}
}
What might I have done wrong ?
MethodNotAllowedHttpException means that the HTTP method you're using is not right. You're using POST on a route tha only accepts GET.
On your form, you must use the route
profile.bands.store
Your .create route is just to show a create record form, to post it you must use store.
Take a look at your routes names and methods using
php artisan routes
I am new to CakePHP and am attempting to configure my web app to use REST.
I am using CakePHP version 2.0.4.
Following the CakePHP Cookbook, I have entered the following into the routes.php file ('Apples' pointing to the ApplesController.php controller):
Router::mapResources('Apples');
Router::parseExtensions();
and in the controller itself (ApplesController.php), I have added the following component:
public $components = array('RequestHandler');
Also in the controller, I have an add action which echo's a string (as follows):
function add() {
echo 'The add action has been called';
}
Finally, I created a view (index.ctp located in app/View/apples/) which uses a HTML form with the method POST and the action "/apples/" to submit.
<h2>Home<h2>
<form action="/apples/" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Now according to the the CakePHP Bakery (http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/rightwayindia/2010/01/11/restful-web-application-development-in-cakephp), the mapResources should automatically map POST to the 'add' action of the controller specified in the routes.php file, therefore when the button is clicked, should echo the string in the add action.
This only works when you change the action parameter in the HTML (in index.ctp) to:
<form action="/apples/add" method="post">
and explicitly point to the add action.
I may be wrong, but I thought that by configuring REST in the routes.php file should automatically map the specific REST methods to the actions such as add, edit, delete etc.. (stated on the web page linked above) to the controller stated in the paramater of the mapResources function.
I have also tried custom REST routing but this is also not working. However, It would be nice for it to work with default mapping rather than customising it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
