I wondered if anyone knew of this strange error I am having, I have a simple form that has a file input field on it. When you upload the image it adds the image to the form object and posts it to that post so I can retrieve it, but this is not working as I thought. The index method shows the posts with the image:
Here is the create.blade.php:
{!! Form::model(new Boroughcc\Post, ['route' => ['posts.store'], 'files' => true]) !!}
@include('posts/partials/_form', ['submit_text' => 'Create Post'])
{!! Form::close() !!}
And here is the partial:
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('title', 'Title:') !!}
{!! Form::text('title') !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('featured_image', 'Featured Image:') !!}
{!! Form::file('featured_image') !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::label('body', 'Post body:') !!}
{!! Form::textarea('body', null, array('id'=>'','class'=>'sir-trevor')) !!}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
{!! Form::submit($submit_text, ['class'=>'btn primary']) !!}
</div>
This is all seems fine but its just not adding the image to the show part of the post itself, in essence its just not finding the image as I am getting a 404 error on the image on the actual post page itself.
Here is the post.show view with the image I have added:
@extends('app')
@section('content')
<section style="clear: both;">
<article class="letterbox" style="background-image:url({{ $post->featured_image }});"></article>
</section>
<section id="product-intro-name">
<hgroup class="article-header">
<h1>{!! $post->slug_column !!}</h1>
</hgroup>
</section>
<article class="container" id="{!! $post->slug !!}">
<section>
<article class="post col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-6">
<img src="{!! $post->featured_image !!}" alt="{!! $post->slug !!} image" />
{!! $post->body !!}
</article>
</section>
</article>
@if (Auth::guest())
@else
{!! link_to_route('posts.edit', 'Edit the post', array( $post->getSlug() ), array('class' => 'btn btn-info')) !!}
@endif
@stop
Here is my PostsController in full:

I can create a post here and update a post but for some reason the image added to the post does not show up at all.
My routes file is fine as its the first thing I thought would be the issue unless it is:
// Route for upload images
Route::any("/sirtrevorjs/upload", array("uses" => "SirTrevorJsController@upload"));
// Route for tweets
Route::any("/sirtrevorjs/tweet", array("uses" => "SirTrevorJsController@tweet"));
/// Posts ////
Route::model('posts', 'Post');
Route::resource('posts', 'PostsController');
Route::match(array('PATCH'), "/posts", array(
'uses' => 'PostsController@update',
'as' => 'posts.update'
));
Route::bind('posts', function($value, $route) {
return Post::whereId($value)->first();
});
Route::bind('posts', function($value, $route) {
return Post::whereSlugColumn($value)->first();
});
Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index');
Route::get('/about', ['uses' => 'HomeController@about',
'as' => 'about']
);
Route::get('/journal', ['uses' => 'HomeController@journal',
'as' => 'journal']
);
Route::controllers([
'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
]);
I know I will kick myself with this but I cannot figure it out.
