No, get rid of the word Category in front of $category.

You aren't passing in an object, the way your route is set up you should be passing a string, categoryid, through the URL.

Just this

public function getCategory($category){
  // ...
}

I am not sure whether he is using Laravel 5.0, if that's the case, it is possible to do method DI in Laravel 5.0 See. https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5/episodes/2

But yea, if remove the type hint solve the problem, that should be okay as well. :D

Oh one more thing you can do. Since you are using a named route take advantage of it.

Instead of HTML::link use HTML::route, that way later if you change the path your links will update automatically.

So this:

{{HTML::link('/store/category/'.$cat, $cat->name)}}

Becomes this:

<a href="{{HTML::route('storeCategory', $cat->name)}}">

The route helper is enough and shorter. I would go with that instead.

Thank you for your answers, but nothing seems to work. It still asks for an object. I've also added the Model function 'scopeCategorized' which I use inside my controller. I feel like a complete idiot, I just can't figure this out :/

Waiting for more suggestions please...

Edit:

Managed to figure this out :)

Here is the solution if anyone else got stuck with baum package.

View:

{ HTML::linkRoute('storeCategory',$cat->name, array($cat->id)) }}

Controller:

public function getCategory($id){
		$category = Category::find($id);
		return View::make('store.category')
		->with('products', Product::categorized($category)->get())
		->with('category', Category::find($id));
}

Route:

	Route::get('store/category/{id}', array('as' =>'storeCategory','uses'=>'StoreController@getCategory'));

Also change scopCategorize function to:

 	public function scopeCategorized($query, Category $category=null) {
    if ( is_null($category) ) return $query->with('category');

    $categoryIds = $category->getDescendantsAndSelf()->lists('id');

    return $query->with('category')
      ->join('products_categories', 'products_categories.product_id', '=', 'products.id')
      ->whereIn('products_categories.category_id', $categoryIds);
  }

Everything works now, thank you for you for your answers
