Voyage Compass Missing

Yeah I am in development mode and working remotely on my dedicated server. I just changed it to local and still get the 403 forbidden error. I forgot to mention last time that it also disappears from the menu but weirdly i can still voyager commands in the code like this one

@if(Voyager::image(theme('logo')))
                        <img class="h-9" src="{{ Voyager::image(theme('logo')) }}" alt="Company name">
                    @else

Now if I were to save my added files and reinstall wave, compass is there but the moment i start adding my own stuff it goes away. I plan to pinpoint exactly when this happens after I push all of my code live which will be in a few weeks.

Honestly, I know the cli commands so I do not and have not really used compass but wanted to bring it to your attention if someone else had not.

I truly appreciate the effort put into this and is why I got devdojo pro because I knew this wouldn't be just given up on like so many other great projects out there.

Hi there,

This is quite interesting, once you've changed the APP_ENV to local, you might need to run php artisan config:clear to reflect that new change.

Let me know how it goes!

Hey Bobby.

I ran the artisan command and it still gives me this error. I attached a screenshot.

Hi there,

This is where the check happens in the controller:

VoyagerCompassController.php#L19-L26

The two checks that happen are:

• Check permission:

      $this->authorize('browse_compass');
  

• Check if app is not local and compass is not enabled for production (which is not recommended)

      if (!\App::environment('local') && !config('voyager.compass_in_production', false)) {
          throw new AccessDeniedHttpException();
      }
  

As long as your user has a role that has the browse_compass privileges, and your environment is set to local, then it should all be working as expected.

If you change the app env to anything rather than local, and then run php artisan optimize or php artisan config:cache then the value will be cached and you will need to run php artisan optimize:clear or php artisan config:clear to clear the env variables from your cache.

There isn't anywhere in the Voyager logic that the AccessDeniedHttpException class is used.

Let me know how it goes!

I figured out the issue. My vendor folder in phpstorm had not been added to the project for some reason. The moment I added the folders back to the project Compass appeared after restarting the server.

I know this because when I went to alter the compasscontroller it told me it was read only and not part of the project.

Thank you for the assistance and guidance. I was wondering why it was there and then disappeared lol.

I thought about removing the auth needed to access compass as I dont need the user function but if I do that anybody can access the /admin/compass url and take actions.

I am using wave for an advertiser publishing site. I thought about using a CMS but I want total control over the files and content. Notonly that but I don't want the security vulnerabilites that come with plugins and extensions.

Oh I forgot to tell y'all this sooner but the eBooks page, when you click the pdf option, it doesn't load the page and simply has the spin icon.

On a cellphone or tablet it is even harder to get it. I have to hit the back button to get the download to start.

No problem at all! Happy to hear that you've got it all working! It is possible that the web server restart actually helped to clear the cache as well.

Ah, thank you for reporting that eBooks problem! I'll look into this today!

The eBook download button should now be fixed! Let me know if anything else pops up!

See I knew it was something small or stupid lol. Yes it is working, thank you. It will make downloading it onto my iPad a breeze now!

I noticed that Tony really likes to use SVG images and I can see why. I am still learning the SVG ropes but it is much better than using a regular image. Hence the name lol. I actually was able to use the voyager back end icons on the front end with a bit of svg magic

lol.

Thanks again.

Nice! That sounds very cool! Feel free to write a blog post about it if you have the time! I saw that you posted your first blog post a few weeks ago!

Btw, just tested the download button on my phone, it looks like that Safari is downloading the file as .HTML which does not seem to work, however it works when using Chrome. So on your iPad you could use Chrome to download the PDF and then you will be able to import it to the Books app!

I'll have to look into why Safari on mobile does that :D

Yes, when I did that, I thought I was posting to the blog you can create in devdojo but it actually posted to the blog on devdojo lol. I plan to make a post today. I actually use chatgpt to convert images into svg and to get svg files needed. Its much easier than finding and using a website to do it.

Some may see it as a shortcut or cop-out but I see it as an advantage over those who do not use it. Laravel Wave is open source, meaning ChatGPT most likely has evaluated the repo on github considering github allowed it lol.

I do have a question for you. I know Voyager has a menu builder and what not. However, whenever I build a menu and try to render it on the front end, for some reason, I cannot get it to render?

I figured I am doing something wrong? I am still learning Laravel. I switched from WordPress which is entirely different lol.

Actually I just thought of this and edited this question, could the missing vendor folder play a role in the menus appearing?
