Answer 1

You don't have AdminIdeaController , but Admin\\AdminIdeaController (note the admin subfolder). So, I think your route should be

Route::resource('ideas', 'Admin\AdminIdeaController');

Answer 2

According to your folder structure your namespace in route is mistake. It should be Admin not admin like this

Route::group(array('namespace' => 'Admin', 'prefix' => 'admin'), function() {
  Route::resource('ideas', 'AdminIdeaController');
});

By this routes your controller should be inside the Admin folder and you can access this controller by /admin/ideas routes

You can make the controller inside folder by using command like this

php artisan make:controller foldername/controllername

If you want to create new folder and make the controller inside that folder you can use this command

php artisan make:controller foldername\\controllername 

Answer 3

You just need to add the name of folder to namespace like this

namespace App\Http\Controllers\name of folder

and then run:

composer dump-autoload

If does not work try to make a new controller with command:

php artisan make:controller nameOfFolder/nameOfController
