links wont work on laravel

[I-AM-OBODO 1]

Hi all.

 

No matter what i tried my links just wont work on my laravel app.  My css folder is in the public folder. public/css. I dunno what is wrong. I installed laravel with composer and i am running windows 7 and wamp.

this is the link i used:

 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{!! asset('css/bootstrap.min.css') !!}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{!! asset('css/styles.css') !!}">

 

Thanks

What URL is it trying to load? Look in the network tab on Chrome Developer Tools.

On the network tab in chrome it's not showing any url at all. just blank but on view source

 

localhost/laravel/index

localhost/laravel/css/styles.css

localhost/laravel/css/bootstrap.min.css

localhost/laravel/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css

localhost/laravel/js/bootstrap.min.js

 

again i noticed it has 8 error notifications and when i checked, i saw that the path to my styles is not seen:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

 

what could be wrong. but when i load the bootstrap style from the cdn, it works perfectly!!

If your assets are in public/css, and it's only loading css, then it looks like you should change the asset path to include public.

 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{!! asset('public/css/bootstrap.min.css') !!}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{!! asset('public/css/styles.css') !!}">

Tried it as well but to no avail

So if you point your browser to localhost/laravel/public/css/styles.css, it doesn't work?

 

Can you post your directory structure?

it works by point with the above uri

Okay, so check the network tab after adding public/ and see what URL it is now trying.

If your CSS files are not loaded properly then Laravel doesn’t know where to look for them.

To let Laravel know where your CSS file is located you’ll need to set a direct path in your blade file:

 {!! HTML::style('_asset/css/custom.css') !!}

It looks very similar for javascript files:

  {!! HTML::script('_asset/js/jquery.min.js') !!}

If this doesn’t work, or you’ll get an error that the HTML serviceprovider class is missing, you’ll need to install the illuminate/html package.

This is how you do it:

Add the following line in the require section of composer.json file

 "require-dev": {
        "illuminate/html": "5.*",

And run composer update.

Register the service provider in config/app.php by adding the following value into the providers array:

        Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class

And finally register the facades by adding these two lines in the aliases array:

        'Form'=> 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade',
        'HTML'=> 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade'
