- I am planning to change the whole design of the admin panel soon.
- Here is a preview of the new design.
- Install L4 App from Github ( Watch this if you need to know how : http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-laravel-4/)
- In your app composer.json file, add:
"require": {
"raftalks/ravel": "*"
}
- Add Ravel Service Provider to the app/config/app.php file under the array key "providers" as shown below
'providers' => array(
'Raftalks\Ravel\RavelServiceProvider',
)
- Configure your database settings in the L4 app/config/database.php file
- Open your terminal in the L4 App root directory and run
php composer.phar update
command - And run the following command in the terminal to start installing the CMS package
php artisan ravel:install
- The above command will publish all the assets and run the migration and seeds
- Before using Ravel CMS, you may want to do some configuration changes like setup a username and password, look inside vendor/raftalks/ravel/src/config/app.php file, by default the username is "admin" and password is "ravel".
- Use the following composer update command to download the updates
php composer.phar update
- and after downloading the updates, run the following artisan command to make sure migrations and package assets gets updated
php artisan ravel:update
- Check the config file under the package path app/config/packages/raftalks/ravel/content.php
'custom_fields' => array(
//'example'
//'post' => array(
// "{metakey}" => array('label'=>'{name}','type'=>'{text}', 'attr'=>array(), 'options'=>array())
// )
'post' => array(
'somefield' => array('label'=>'custom field','type'=>'input_checkbox'),
'custom_field3' => array('label'=>'custom field','type'=>'ng_datepicker'),
'custom_field2' => array('label'=>'custom field2','type'=>'select','options'=>array(1=>'test',2=>'two',3=>'three',4=>'four'))
),
'page' => array(),
'attachement' => array(),
),
- By default the CMS admin panel is available on http://www.domain.com/admin and you can change the base url to admin panel by changing the app config file of the package.
Documentation will be updated soon
