Laravel-Media-Manager's route not found if different URL/Route names used

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

What version of Laravel are you using? (nothing lower than v5.4).

L5.6

is it an issue related to installation or usage ?

Usage

what is the error you are getting ?

Route [media.files] not defined. (View: /Volumes/users/artur/WebDesign/ValetSites/moeera-cms/resources/views/vendor/MediaManager/_manager.blade.php

Extra Info "attaching a screen shot would be very helpful"

With ctf0\MediaManager\MediaRoutes::routes(); as placed into /routes/web.php by installation script (which results with: url like: media/action and route names like: media.action), everything (as far I checked) works. However if I decide to move this into some 'Route::group' to have access restricted for admins/authors (which results with: url like: manage/media/action and route names like: manage::media.action) going to manage/media results with error as above

Can this be fixed by changing some configuration variable (but judging by names - not) or is the only way to change this (in _manager.blade.php):

:routes="{{ json_encode([
        'files' => route('media.files'), 
        'dirs' => route('media.directories'), 
        'lock' => route('media.lock_file'), 
        'visibility' => route('media.change_vis'), 
    ]) }}"

to this:

:routes="{{ json_encode([
        'files' => route('manage::media.files'), 
        'dirs' => route('manage::media.directories'), 
        'lock' => route('manage::media.lock_file'), 
        'visibility' => route('manage::media.change_vis'), 
    ]) }}"

EDIT: There are several other places in the template where route() helper is used (like <form action> attributes). Changing route names provided to route() helper sorted out the problem. Question remains - is this the only way to achieve this? (EDIT 2 - no, it did not, only looked like this) Thanks!

thats the problem, dont change the route names, i also have a very similar setup where i nest the manager routes under the admin url but without affecting the name. ex

Route::group(['middleware' => ['admin']], function () {
    // ...

    // "url: admin/"
    Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin'], function () {
        ctf0\MediaManager\MediaRoutes::routes();

        // "name: admin."
        Route::group(['as' => "admin."], function () {
            // ...
        });
    });
});

updating the route names of the manager will cuz u nothing but a big headache

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

So, basically, URL can be changed in any way as long as the route names are kept untouched and everything will work smoothly?

[ctf0]

exactly 👍

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

Thanks for quick reply, appreciate ;-)

I have done what advised: /routes/web.php:

/** Dashboard routes **/

Route::middleware([
    'auth',
])->group(function() {

    /** Routes available for authenticated users only **/

    Route::group([
        'prefix' => 'manage',
        /** Do not change route names as that will break MediaManager **/
    ], function() {

        Route::group([
            'middleware' => 'role:superadministrator|administrator|editor|author',
        ], function() {
            // MediaManager
            ctf0\MediaManager\MediaRoutes::routes();
        });
    });

    Route::group([
        'prefix' => 'manage',
        'as' => 'manage::',
    ], function() {

        Route::group([
            'middleware' => 'role:superadministrator|administrator|editor|author|user',
        ], function() {
    (...)

but the problem I am facing now - image thumbnails are not displayed now:

quick check of image src attribute and 'manage' bit is being added:

<img src="http://moeera-cms.test/storage/manage/pages/AI1ITePFhXEcmKCPEdOqDx9zMy0fZIFkXMG4Flyb.jpeg" 

while the real path to image file is http://moeera-cms.test/storage/pages/AI1ITePFhXEcmKCPEdOqDx9zMy0fZIFkXMG4Flyb.jpeg

How can I fix this?

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

@ctf0 - could you please reopen it, it's not sorted out as you can see above.

[ctf0]

have u updated the .env APP_URL = http://moeera-cms.test ? also what is the error in the console ?

try to long press the manager refresh btn and see if it fixes the issue for u.

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

yes, I have replaced APP_URL = localhost, that was first thing I noticed after I installed Laravel-Media-Manager. There are no errors in the console, just wrong string is provided to <img src (__stack-files, file preview) and to <a href (__sidebar-info, public URL) attributes. They came from file.path and selectedFile.path Vue props.

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

I have looked in Vue Developer Tool and baseUrl is correct but it looks like paths are computed incorrectly:

[ctf0]

can u show me a screenshot for the console error ?

also am not really sure where the manage path come from, check your storage path and make sure you cleared the browser cache just to be on the safe side

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

manage is a Route prefix

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

Console:

[ctf0]

the route prefix shouldnt affect the storage path, can u make a repo with ur setup and send me a link to test ?

[WalkingInTheDarkness]

@ctf0 it had to be some cache issue, I have cleared everything, view, routes, config cache, browser cache and restarted nginx. Reinstalled Laravel-Media-Laravel and now it works, even with added URL prefix. Thanks for your help
