Laravel：在BaseController构造中使用的beforeFilter在子类中不起作用

Question

I read Laravel's documentation covering controller filters. I wish to correctly apply this functionality to my BaseController, so all controllers that extend it can run the beforeFilter automatically. Two of the routes, however, need to be excluded. The excluded routes are named home and logout, but the code below doesn't work: the customFilter is ignored by classess extending BaseController. What am I doing wrong?

routes.php:

Route::get('/',
    array(
        'before' => 'auth',
        'uses' => 'DefaultController@index',
        'as' => 'home'
        )
    );

Route::get('/logout',
    array(
        'before' => 'auth',
        'uses' => 'UserController@logout',
        'as' => 'logout'
        )
    );

Route::get('/profile',
    array(
        'before' => 'auth',
        'uses' => 'UserController@profile',
        'as' => 'profile'
        )
    );

/// And so on...

BaseController.php:

<?php

    class BaseController extends Controller {

        // beforeFilter to be inherited by subclasses
        public function __construct() {
            $this->beforeFilter('customFilter', array('except' => array('home', 'logout')));
        }

        // Rest of the code

    }

?>

and later (for example):

<?php

class UserController extends BaseController {

    // Code...

}

?>

You have to construct parent in the child class like this:

class UserController extends BaseController {

   public function __construct(){
     parent::__construct();
   }

}
