Laravel 4 nested resources. I had some trouble finding a good way to add nested resources in my routes.php file. Therfore, I thought I would share what I ended up with. Please say so, if you have any improvements to this :)

ConversationsController.php

<?php

class ConversationsController extends BaseController {

    public function show($user_id, $conversation_id)
    {
        var_dump($user_id);
        var_dump($conversation_id);
    }

}

routes.php

<?php

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function()
{
    Route::group(array('prefix' => 'users/{user_id}'), function()
    {
        Route::resource('conversations', 'ConversationsController', array('only' => array('show')));
    });
});

The URL to the show route: GET /users/1/conversations/43

Why do you have two nested route grous? Can't you add both the before filter and the prefix to the same group configuration?

You also dont need to prefix like that unless you have a specific reason. The following will work:

Route::resource('users.conversions', 'ConversationsController');
