Solution 1

Actualy Laravel will create following routes

Route(URL)                                      | Name
------------------------------------------------------------------
GET profile                                     | profile.index
GET profile/create                              | profile.create
POST profile                                    | profile.store
GET profile/{profile}                           | profile.show
GET profile/{profile}/edit                      | profile.edit
PUT profile/{profile}                           | profile.update
PATCH profile/{profile}                         |
DELETE profile/{profile}                        | profile.destroy

For this

Route::resource('profile' , 'ProfileController' , array('as'=>'profile' , 'before'=>'csrf'));

If you run php artisan routes from your terminal/command prompt then you'll get all the route's list with name and url.

Solution 2

Probably you'll have to:

<li><a href="{{ URL::route('profile.index') }}"> Profile Managment </a></li>

To be sure, execute

php artisan routes

Laravel will show the list of routes and names you have to use.

Also, you have access to more info in the docs: http://laravel.com/docs/controllers#resource-controllers

my profile view is under view/back_end/layouts and URL::route('profile.index') for link to ProfileController with http://localhost/laravel/public/admin/profile link. i get this error:Route [profile.index] not defined.

Run php artisan routes to be sure you have a route as profile.index and also, run composer dump-autoload to update the autoload class.

thanks. my form action is ProfileController@profile and in ProfileController i have this action:public function profile(){ print_r(Input::all());}. i get this error now. Route [ProfileController@profile] not defined.

[The Alpha]

To submit the form to store method you should use {{ Form::open(array('route' => 'profile.create', 'method' => 'post')) }} or you may use action="{{ route('profile.store') }}" method="POST".

[The Alpha]

If you want to submit the form to the profile method then it needs a route.

thanks after change route to admin.profile.create my url changed to http://localhost/laravel/public/admin/profile/{profile} and i get this error: NotFoundHttpException. My form is: http://paste.debian.net/79337/. My Route: http://paste.debian.net/79339/

[The Alpha]

What you are trying to do, where you want to submit the form, did you use Form class of Laravel, if not then use it, check the documentation.

[DolDurma]

did you try to see my links? i'm using laravel opening form with Blade. http://paste.debian.net/79337/

[The Alpha]

Do you have a route named as admin.profile.update ?

[DolDurma]

my problem is that. why i must be have route? i want to send form to controller directly.i must define route for that?

[The Alpha]

This is the easiest way, you can use url like array('url' => 'profile/update/1', 'method' => 'post')), this route needs an id of the record you want to update.

[The Alpha]

With route, array('route' => array('profile.update', $someModel->id), 'method' => 'post')).

[DolDurma]

i'm sorry how to fix this route? can you help me? Route::post('/admin/profile/{id}',array('as'=>'admin.profile‌​.update',function($i‌​d){}));

[The Alpha]

Sorry! I don't get it, you suppose to use resource controller's route according to your question.

[DolDurma]

yes. i'm using Route::resource and i can not resolve this problem.

[The Alpha]

Then you don't need to use Route::post('/admin/profile/{id}',array('as'=>'admin.profile‌​.update',function($‌‌​​id){}));, remove it and use the update function inside ProfileController for updating and use {{ Form::open(array('route' => array('profile.update', $someModel->id), 'method' => 'post')) }}.
