Installation ============ [](#installation) Require this package with Composer ``` composer require diyphpdeveloper/cmscanvas:2.1.* ``` Create the database ``` mysql -uroot -p -e "create database cmscanvas" ``` Update your .env file or config/database.php to use the cmscanvas database ``` ... DB_HOST=localhost DB_DATABASE=cmscanvas DB_USERNAME=root DB_PASSWORD=root ... ``` Quick Start =========== [](#quick-start) 1. Once Composer has installed or updated you will need to register CMS Canvas's user model with Laravel. To do this update the providers array in config/auth.php to: ``` 'providers' => [ 'users' => [ 'driver' => 'eloquent', 'model' => CmsCanvas\Models\User::class, ], ], ``` 2. If running **Larevel 5.2 to 5.4** you will need to manually register providers and aliases. If you are running Laravel 5.5 or greater this step can be skipped. Open up config/app.php and find the providers key, towards the end of the file, and add the following just prior to the application service providers: ``` 'providers' => [ ... CmsCanvas\Providers\CmsCanvasServiceProvider::class, CmsCanvas\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class, CmsCanvas\Providers\EventServiceProvider::class, CmsCanvas\Providers\TwigBridgeServiceProvider::class, Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class, Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class, /* * Application Service Providers... */ ... ], ``` Now find the alliases key, again towards the end of the file, and add the following to the end: ``` 'aliases' => [ ... 'Admin' => CmsCanvas\Support\Facades\Admin::class, 'Content' => CmsCanvas\Support\Facades\Content::class, 'Theme' => CmsCanvas\Support\Facades\Theme::class, 'StringView' => CmsCanvas\Support\Facades\StringView::class, 'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class, 'HTML' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class, 'Twig' => TwigBridge\Facade\Twig::class, ], ``` 3. Now that config/app.php and config/auth.php is configured, use Artisan to add CMS Canvas's templates and configs: ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` 4. Next use Artisan to create CMS Canvas's database tables: ``` php artisan migrate ``` 5. Populate the database tables with the default data required for CMS Canvas to run: ``` php artisan db:seed --class="CmsCanvas\Database\Seeds\DatabaseSeeder" ``` 6. Make the following directories writable: ``` chmod 777 public/diyphpdeveloper/cmscanvas/thumbnails chmod 777 public/diyphpdeveloper/cmscanvas/uploads ``` 7. Finally, remove any root (home page) routes from app/Http/routes.php (Laravel 5.2) or routes/web.php (Laravel 5.3) ``` // app/Http/routes.php (Laravel 5.2) or routes/web.php (Laravel 5.3) // The following is an example of what to remove: - Route::get('/', function () { - return view('welcome'); - }); ``` 8. To access the admin panel go to your web browser and visit: ``` http://yourdomain.com/sitemin Email: admin@domain.com Password: password ``` Once you are logged in the first thing you should do is change your email and password!!!
