I use backpack 4 for laravel(laravel 8)and can't write a route for the user page. After login user has to get /user/dashboard or /dashboard, but the user is redirected to /admin/dashboard. How can I solve this problem?

web.php

Route::get('/', function() {
    return redirect()->route('backpack.auth.login');
});
Route::get('/user/dashboard', [DashboardUserController::class, 'index'])->middleware(['web','admin']);
laravel dashboard routes redirect authentication

If your users won't ever need to use Backpack and should only able to view the dashboard, you could add a new middleware to Backpack's set of middlewares that checks if your user is an admin or a normal user to redirect them if they are not an admin.

Because Backpack registers the login routes itself, you can't just add your middleware to the route on registration. Instead you'll need to add your middleware to Backpack's admin middleware group. That's the one that gets added to all admin routes.

Steps:

  1. Create the new middleware:
php artisan make:middleware RedirectToDashboard
  1. Open the new middleware at app/Http/Middleware/RedirectToDashboard.php
  2. Change the handle method to look something like this:
public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
{
    if($request->user()->isNormalUser()) { // You need to change this to the check if the user is a normal user, that's specific to your application
        return redirect()->to('dashboard'); // 'dashboard' is the name of your route, you may need to change it.
    }

    return $next($request);
}
  1. Add the new middleware to Backpack's default set of middlewares in config/backpack/base.php. Open the file and look for the middleware_class entry (most likely somewhere around line 220). Add \App\Http\Middleware\RedirectToDashboard::class to the array.
  2. Log into Backpack as a normal user and check if you get redirected.

The /admin prefix comes from the file: config/backpack/base.php.
Remove route_prefix from the file.

Your users will be redirected to /dashboard.
