I have a web app that has been working for sometime but now i am suddenly receiving the following error:
Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Call to a member function course() on null in /home/forge/default/releases/20161130183258/app/Http/Controllers/CoursePageController.php:37
when i open up the file location i see the following code:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\CMS\Page;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
class CoursePageController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display the specified resource.
* @param $course_slug
* @param $slug
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
* @internal param int $id
*/
public function show($course_slug, $slug)
{
$page = $this->getPage($course_slug, $slug);
return view($page->layout->templateFullPath())
->withPage($page);
}
/**
* Gets page by slug.
* @param $course_slug
* @param $slug
* @return mixed
*/
protected function getPage($course_slug, $slug)
{
$page = Page::with('layout', 'contentRegions')->whereSlug($slug)->first();
$course = $page->course()->whereSlug($course_slug)->first();
abort_if(! isset($page) || !isset($course), 404);
return $page;
}}
not sure why i would be getting a null error for $course. I'm the new (and only) admin for this app and i basically have the laravel knowledge of a toddler so any help would be greatly appreciated.
