cms

Installation

Require this package in your composer.json and update composer. This will download the package and CMS of ACT.

"act/cms": "dev-master"

Now, let's make our package "visible" to main Laravel structure, and assign alias to it, we do that by adding this line to main composer.json section called "psr-4":

"autoload": {
      "classmap": [
          "database"
      ],
      "psr-4": {
          "App\\": "app/",
          "ACT\\CMS\\": "vendor/act/cms/src"
      }
},

And then we run this command from main folder:

composer dump-autoload

Then add the following lines to the config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...

    /*
     * ACT Application Providers
     */
    ACT\CMS\CMSServiceProvider::class,

    // ...
],

And then, to perform actual copying, user should publish our views, with Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish

Adding helpers.php to main composer.json section called "files":

"autoload": {
      "classmap": [
          "database"
      ],
      "psr-4": {
          "App\\": "app/",
          "ACT\\CMS\\": "vendor/act/cms/src"
      },
      "files": [
  		  "helpers.php"
  	  ]
},

And run this command from main folder:

composer dump-autoload

Then add the following lines to the routes.php:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
    Route::group([ 'prefix' => 'admin' ], function(){
        Route::any('{paths?}', "\ACT\CMS\CMSController@route")->where('paths', '([A-Za-z0-9\-\/]+)');
    });

    Route::get('/', function () {
        echo 'Frontend template not found - <a href="admin">Backend</a>';
    });
});

Finally, install database for cms with vendor\act\cms\src\db\install.sql.
