Help Needed Please

[HDVinnie]

I am trying to incorporate this into my existing laravel application running laravel 4.2

I followed the instructions to a "T" here: https://github.com/cmgmyr/laravel-messenger/tree/v1 No errors where thrown. I have loaded the example Controllers, Views and used the Routes method used in Routes example. Only exceptions was editing the views to use @extends('layout.default') instead of default @extends('layout.master')

My Routes now looks like so

<?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the Closure to execute when that URI is requested.

This error only shows via these new route links for laravel messenger. Error is not displayed anywhere else on my site as the pages variable works.

What am I blindly missing and doing wrong?

@HDVinnie I don't think that this has anything to do with the package. Is there something in your other controllers, base controller, or view composer that is passing through $pages? I'm assuming whatever is doing that in other parts of your app isn't happening in the new MessageController. You could also do some additional checks for $pages in the view.

I'm going to close this ticket for now, but feel free to ask questions if you need more help.
