In some cases Netshell/Paypal throws error "Class Paypal does not exist". In my case on ubuntu/php7/nginx (on windows with apache is ok). So here is simple workaround

In Laravel 5, by default you have CSRF in every single POST. If you are new to Laravel and you use the usual HTML code to create inputs and forms then you will definitely encounter that error. Also, if you are coming from Laravel 4, again you might not know how to solve this error since 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' is not installed by default anymore and HTML inputs and form have to be used. There are 3 solutions in order to fix it. 1) If you want to keep the usual HTML code and not use 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' (since it is not installed by default in Laravel 5), then you can delete this line of code '\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,' in app/Http/Kernel.php. However this is not a good practice. You can still do that though, in case you are building something small or an API. 2) You can install 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' and do it the old good Laravel 4 way, which uses tokens by default, thus you don't have to worry about it anymore. 3) The last solution is in case you want to code the front end with the usual HTML code then you can use this line in your layout or in case you don't have a layout then in every single page. <input type="hidden" name="_token" id="csrf-token" value="{{ Session::token() }}" /> You can get Laravel 5 tutorials and projects for all levels (Beginners-Intermediate-Advanced) in this website www.codeexecutable.com/courses

The easy way to define Eloquent Global Scopes with https://github.com/jarektkaczyk/laravel-global-scope

If you want to use Sentry 2 filters used in Laravel 4.x, you have to modify your system a little bit. <br/> First install Sentry 2 for Laravel 5: "composer require cartalyst/sentry:dev-feature/laravel-5" Next add these three files to your App\Http\Middleware folder, then add the references into the Kernel.php file. Finally, I added an example route how to use the Middlewares. An advice: in your controller replace all catch() lines from: catch (Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\LoginRequiredException $e) {} to: catch (\Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\LoginRequiredException $e) {} because it won't work as in Laravel 4.x worked..

I have added a sitemap to this very site and was thinking that some of you want to do the same for SEO purposes. The way to add a sitemap would be pretty easy by using a Blade template for the XML that sitemap requires but there is an easier solution. You can use a package from https://github.com/RoumenDamianoff/laravel4-sitemap that would make it super simple to generate a sitemap for your Laravel application. See for yourself.
