php - Laravel: Can't get post form -

me , partner have been working combined period of 11 hours trying figure out can't seem crack it.

we're building web forum application in users able make own threads. managed edit work, although redirect still doesn't work right yet. have online preview on @ http://detune-niuwang.c9users.io/

if try using 'new thread' page , click on submit button, delete typed form , checking on frontpage, no threads have been created. edit functionality works though.

here snippets of our code:

routes.php

route::resource('posts', 'channel\post\posts'); route::get('/', 'channel\post\posts@index'); 

controllers\channel\post\posts.php

        /**      * show form creating new post.      *      * @return response      */      public function create()      {          return view('posts.create');      }       /**       * store newly created post       *       * @param postrequest $request       * @return response       */       public function store(postrequest $request)       {             $postdata = $this->post->create(['title', 'content']);            if($this->post->create($postdata)) {               return redirect()->back()->withsuccess('post created.');           }           return redirect()->back()->witherror($postdata);       } 

create.blade.php

@extends('_shared.master')  @section('title') create new post @endsection  @section('content') <div class="panel panel-default">     <div class="panel-heading">new thread</div>     <div class="panel-body">         {!! form::open(['route' => 'posts.store', 'class' => 'form-horizontal'])!!}         @include('posts.form')         {!! form::close() !!}     </div> </div>  @stop

any appreciated :)

the create method on eloquent model static method. in code seems called if it's instance method.

i believe have (at least) 3 options.

1. change create call insert call. (i don't think return instance of post model, boolean).
2. call statically post::create($postdata);

3. use newinstance method

   $post = $this->post->newinstance($postdata); return $post->save() ? $post : null;
