Laravel CMS Example Installation

Example standard installation of the Laravel CMS.

CMS packages installed

Application packages used

Laravel Versions

The master branch has the latest version of Laravel.

For examples of older Laravel versions, check out the branch specific for that version.

Installation

Besides the normal procedure for getting a laravel installation running (composer install), follow these additional steps:

For running with Docker

If you have Docker, the Makefile will help you get set up quickly.

To compose the application, migrate and seed it, simply run:
```
make
```
This may take some time.
Optionally, to speed things up, run:
```
make cache
```
This will cache CMS information, Laravel config & routes.

Your application will then run on http://localhost:8000/cms if all went well.

For running in a custom environment

First, set up the .env file by running:
```
make env
```
Or make an .env file manually. Don't forget to set up app key using php artisan key:generate.
Run the CMS migrations:
```
php artisan cms:migrate
```
Run the database seeder:
```
php artisan db:seed
```
Three user accounts will be ready to use:
- A super-admin: super@admin.com, password: 'secret'.
- A user with editing, but not delete permissions: some@editor.com, password: 'secret'.
- A guest user with only viewing permissions: some@guest.com, password: 'secret'.

Optionally, create a custom super-admin account:

php artisan cms:user:create <name> <password> --admin

Optionally, to speed things up, cache some data:

php artisan cms:menu:cache
php artisan cms:models:cache
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache

After this, the application should be ready.

The relative path to the CMS is /cms, f.i. as: http://laravel-cms-example.dev/cms.

Application

The example application combines a simple product catalog structure with a blog.
The models are generally designed to showcase different model fields.
