Laravel 5 Multiple public folder asset function

Ok, I finally get the answer.

Create an AssetsController controller like this:

<?php namespace app\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Response; use app\Http\Controllers\Controller; use Redirect; class AssetsController extends Controller { /** * Get asset url and return response based on file type * * @param $filename * @return mixed */ public function data($filename) { $path = public_path().'/'; // You need to change your public path before this $path = $path.$filename; $file = File::get($path); $type = File::mimeType($path); $response = Response::make($file, 200); $response->header("Content-Type", $type); return $response; } } 

So now, I need to change asset helper function. I created a ServiceProvider to make the magic Register under config/app.php:

<?php namespace app\Providers; use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider; class SitePathServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider { /** * Indicates if loading of the provider is deferred. * * @var bool */ protected $defer = false; /** * Bootstrap the application services. * * @return void */ public function boot() { // } /** * Reset asset function * * @param $path * @return string */ public function asset($path) { return url('assets/'.$path); } /** * Register the application services. * * @return void */ public function register() { // } } 

The trick is to do a route helper:

Route::get('/assets/{params}', 'AssetsController@data')->where('params', '.*'); 

This route catch all url like:

http://www.example.com/assets/demo.jpg http://www.example.com/assets/uploads/demo.jpg http://www.example.com/assets/large/structure/folder/demo.jpg 

I know it's something complicated, but works like a charm.

One way to potentially solve this is by using Apache rewrites so that a request to http://user2.test.on/image.png actually goes to http://test.on/custom_publics/user2/image.png.

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.test\.on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://test.on/custom_publics/%1/$1 [L,NC,QSA] 

You might need to tweak the above example for your specific purpose. See more information here: .htaccess rewrite subdomain to directory
