Laraboard
---------

[](#laraboard)

Laraboard attempts to provide an easy to use, feature rich, Laravel powered forum package.

It is currently under heavy development and not recommended for production environments.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

Require this package with composer:

```
composer require christhompsontldr/laraboard

```

### Service Provider

[](#service-provider)

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

#### Laravel 5.x:

[](#laravel-5x)

```
Christhompsontldr\Laraboard\ServiceProvider::class,

```

### Config

[](#config)

Now move the config files from the package into your application

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

This will create `config/laraboard.php` and `config/laratrust.php`. If you want to modify table prefixes or other information, now is the time to do it.

### Setup

[](#setup)

The next command will create migrations, create the `Role` and `Permission` models and add traits to your application's User model.

```
php artisan laraboard:setup

```

#### Laratrust Already Installed?

[](#laratrust-already-installed)

If you already have [Laratrust](https://github.com/santigarcor/laratrust) installed, you have the option to not set it up now

```
php artisan laraboard:setup --no-laratrust

```

#### Want to create migrations before running setup?

[](#want-to-create-migrations-before-running-setup)

This will allow you to create the migrations only. You can then modify them. Run this before the `setup` command.

```
php artisan laraboard:migrations

```

### Migrate

[](#migrate)

Run the migrations

```
php artisan migrate

```

### Role

[](#role)

If you have not created the role found in the `laraboard.user.admin_role`, create it now and associate it with a user.

### Design

[](#design)

Laravel blade stacks are utilized to include required JS and CSS.

Please include this in the `` of your main layout:

```
@stack('styles')

```

and this above ``

```
@stack('scripts')

```

Dependencies
