using Laravel wont show a image after link_to_action.

it showing the images index.blade.php http://imgur.com/hZshMrl is fine when I am click on "{{link_to_action(PostController@show', 'Read Blog'" the next page it refused show a image. even I check in element inspect the img file to open the src="img/1.img' there is no image available. when I go to back index.blade.php its back to normal. why is that?

    @forelse($posts as $post)
        <div class="blogs">
            <h3>{{{ $post->title }}}</h3>
            <p class="info"> {{{ $post->content }}} </p>
            <p class="info"> by: {{{ $post->user->first_name }}} {{{ $post->user->last_name }}} </p>
            {{link_to_action('PostController@show','Read Blog', array($post->id))}}
            <span class="posted" style="text-align:left">{{{ $post->created_at->format(Post::DATE_FORMAT)}}}</span>
        @if ($post->img_path)
            <p style="text-align:right"><img class="img-upload" src="{{ $post->img_path }}" style="max-width: 25%">
        @endif

Hi Brian,

In your show.blade.php try to echo out $post object

{{ $post }}

this should return your object in Json format.

Please paste what you've got here.

I found the answer for this

I imagine it’s because the image filename reference stored in the database is relative. You’ll need to put the full path, because if you go to http://example.com/posts/1, your template is then going to look for img/filename.jpg in a directory called posts, which doesn’t exist.

Instead, you should use an absolute URL. If your images are just stored in public/img then you can do something like this in your show.blade.php template:

@if ($post->img_path)
    <img class="img-upload" src="{{ asset($post->img_path) }}" style="max-width: 25%">
@endif

This will prepend the site’s root URL to your image’s path.
