How to handle Laravel NotFoundHttpException?

Question

I am learning Laravel by doing a self-exercise. Basically what I want to achieve is the parameter 'id' can be passed to the Controller from Route to get a list of different topics for that specific id when the link is clicked. I have checked all other posts and seems I can't get the answer there.

Here is my code in Route.php where mainpage is the index page of my application.

Route::get('/public/', array( 'as' => 'Personal_assistant' , 'uses' => 'category_by_user@get_mainpage'));
Route::get('public/{id}' , array( 'as' => 'viewtopic' , 'uses' => 'category_by_user@get_topic'));

My code in Controller 'category_by_user':

class Category_by_user extends Controller
{ 
//

public $restful = true;

public function get_mainpage()
{

 $data = DB::table('categories')
      -> select('category_name', 'category_description')
    //->where('category_user_id', '=' , $user_id)
     ->get(); 

  return view::make('mainpage')
       ->with('title', 'Category By User')
        ->with('data' , $data );
  }


  public function get_topic($id)
  {
       $data1 = DB::table('topics')
       ->where('Category_id', '=' , $id)
      ->get(); 


      return View::make('viewtopic') 
         ->with('title', 'All Topic by Category')
         ->with('data1' , $data1)
         ->with('id' , $id);
       }
 }

My code in viewtopic.blade.php:

 {h1>Personal Info Assistant</h1>

  <!-- will be used to show any messages -->
  @if (Session::has('message'))
        <div class="alert alert-info">{{ Session::get('message') }}</div>
  @endif

  <table class="table table-striped table-bordered">

   <tbody>
   <!--  // List all categories belongs to that particular user -->


   @foreach($data1 as $key => $topic)
       <tr>

        <td>{{ $topic->topic_description }}</td>
        <td>ID = {{ $id }}</td>

      </tr>
   @endforeach
   </tbody>
 </table>

 </div>
 </body>
 </html>

Error detail log as follows:

Thanks so much in advanced for any help out there.

Answer 1

Can you show the links and the code that passes in your links the id? Maybe the $id is not passed correctly in your href attr.
