Me and my partner have been working a combined period of almost 11 hours trying to figure this out but we just can't seem to crack it.
We're building a web forum application in which users are able to make their own threads. We managed to get edit to work, although redirect still doesn't work right yet. We have an online preview over at http://detune-niuwang.c9users.io/
If you try using the 'New Thread' page and click on the submit button, it will just delete anything typed into the form and checking back on the Frontpage, no threads would have been created. The Edit functionality works though.
Here are some snippets of our code:
Routes.php
Route::resource('posts', 'Channel\Post\Posts');
Route::get('/', 'Channel\Post\Posts@index');
Controllers\Channel\Post\Posts.php
/**
* Show the form for creating a new post.

* @return Response
*/
public function create()
{
return view('posts.create');
}
/**
* Store the newly created post
*
* @param PostRequest $request
* @return Response
*/
public function store(PostRequest $request)
{
$postData = $this->post->create(['title', 'content']);
if($this->post->create($postData)) {
return redirect()->back()->withSuccess('Post successfully created.');
}
return redirect()->back()->withError($postData);
}

Any help with this are appreciated :)
