For my first project using Laravel, I decided to utilize blade and Bootstrap as an HTML/CSS framework.
While developing the project, I encountered a frustrating bug. On several pages where the nav menu is included, the content is correctly displayed. However, on the index page, the content of the nav menu inexplicably shifts to the left.
I have identified the specific lines of code that are causing this issue but I am struggling to understand what mistake I may be making.
Here is a visual representation of the problem: https://i.sstatic.net/EEV96.png On the index page, the entire content of the navbar is offset to the left by a few pixels.
The complete code for the index page can be seen below:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<h1>New Blog Posts</h1>
@if(count($posts) > 0)
@foreach($posts as $post)
<div class="card mb-2">
<div class="card-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 text-center">
<img class="img-fluid px-2 py-2" style="max-height:250px;" src="/storage/cover_images/{{ $post->cover_image }}">
</div>
<div class="col-md-8 p-1">
<h3><a href="/posts/{{ $post->id }}">{{ $post->title }}</a></h3>
{!! substr($post->body, 0, 500).'... ' !!}<a href="/posts/{{ $post->id }}">Read on</a>
<small>Written on {{ $post->created_at }} by {{ $post->user->name }}</small>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endforeach
<div class="row d-flex justify-content-center">
{{ $posts->links() }}
</div>
@else
<p>No posts found.</p>
@endif
@endsection
The problematic lines causing the issue are:
<img class="img-fluid px-2 py-2" style="max-height:250px;" src="/storage/cover_images/{{ $post->cover_image }}">
and
{!! substr($post->body, 0, 500).'... ' !!}<a href="/posts/{{ $post->id }}">Read on</a>
