Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
1 | <?php namespace Taskforcedev\LaravelForum\Http\Controllers; |
||
11 | class ForumController extends BaseController |
||
12 | { |
||
13 | public function index() |
||
18 | |||
19 | View Code Duplication | public function view($id) |
|
32 | |||
33 | View Code Duplication | public function createPost($forum_id) |

46 | |||
47 | public function viewPost($forum_id, $post_id) |

50 | $post = ForumPost::with('replies')->where('id', $post_id)->firstOrFail(); |
||

51 | |||
52 | $data = $this->buildData(); |
||
53 | $data['post'] = $post; |
||
54 | |||
55 | return view('laravel-forum::forum.thread', $data); |
||
56 | } catch (Exception $e) { |
||
57 | return view('laravel-forum::errors.404'); |
||
58 | } |
||
59 | } |
||
60 | |||
61 | /** |

||
63 | * |
||
64 | * @param integer $id |

||
68 | private function validateForumId($id) |
||
77 | } |

It seems like the method you are trying to call exists only in some of the possible types.

Add an additional type-check:
Only allow a single type to be passed if the variable comes from a parameter:
