Set of admin views and functionality to speed up development of small custom Content Management Systems built in Laravel....

**Steps for using**

If it doesn't auto discover

**Config/app.php**

```
Hoppermagic\Kobalt\KobaltServiceProvider::class

```

Package will automatically add the following but you might want to add these in config.app

```
Kris\LaravelFormBuilder\FormBuilderServiceProvider::class,
Laracasts\Flash\FlashServiceProvider::class,

'FormBuilder' => Kris\LaravelFormBuilder\Facades\FormBuilder::class,
'Flash'	=> Laracasts\Flash\Flash::class,

```

**Setup db preferences**

Run the standard laravel auth generator

```
php artisan make:auth
php artisan migrate

```

Register yourself, disable the auth routes in web.php

Add the non-registration routes from Router.php (auth method) to web.php

Remember to comment out the Auth::routes()

From 5.8 it wont show register if the route doesn't exist.

app.blade.php also contains a reference to the register route, so need to comment out

```
// From 5.8?

Auth::routes(['register', false]);

OR

//!TODO MAKE SURE YOU USE THE ONES FROM ROUTER.PHP
// Authentication Routes...
Route::get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
Route::post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
Route::post('logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

// Password Reset Routes...
Route::get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.request');
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.email');
Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('password.reset');
Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset');

```

**Admin area web routes**

could put these in their own admin.php file.....

```
Route::group([
        'namespace' => 'Admin',
        'prefix' => 'admin',
        'as' => 'admin.']
    ,function(){

        // STORIES
        Route::get('story/{story}/confirmdel', [
            'as' => 'story.confirmdel',
            'uses' => 'StoriesController@confirmDelete'
        ]);
        Route::resource('/story', 'StoriesController', [
            'except' => ['show'],
        ]);

        // STORY IMAGES
        Route::get('story/{story}/storyimage/{storyimage}/confirmdel', [
            'as' => 'story.{story}.storyimage.{storyimage}.confirmdel',
            'uses' => 'StoryImageController@confirmDelete'
        ]);
        Route::get('/story/{story}/storyimage/createbulk', 'StoryImageController@createBulkUpload')->name('storyimage.createbulk');
        Route::post('/story/{story}/storyimage/storebulk', 'StoryImageController@storeBulkUpload')->name('storyimage.storebulk');
        Route::resource('/story/{story}/storyimage', 'StoryImageController', [
            'except' => ['show','index'],
        ]);

        // Stories ajax routes
        Route::post('story/{story}/edit/imageload', 'StoriesController@imageGalleryLoad');
        Route::post('story/{story}/edit/imagesort', 'StoriesController@imageGallerySort');
        Route::post('story/sort', 'StoriesController@overviewSort');
    }
);

```

**Make sure the following are pointing to the admin homepage**

Controllers\\Auth\\LoginController

Controllers\\Auth\\RegisterController

Controllers\\Auth\\ResetPasswordController

Middleware\\RedirectIfAuthenticated

```
protected $redirectTo = '/admin/overviewpage'; // Admin landing page

```

**Css and Js links in admin template**

app.blade.php

```

or

```

**View Composer**

FYI, KobaltServiceProvider makes sure the active variable is available in the admin nav partial, its pushing in segment(2) so make sure this is what you want. Undecided if this is a good thing.

**Publish assets**

admin js,

admin enhancements - Handy place for tiny\_mce setup, select2 etc

css

admin images

admin nav partial

**admin template**

need to update this file with the latest structure from app.blade.php Pull in local version of tiny mce

use force to overwrite

after publishing amend the nav partial

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hoppermagic\Kobalt\KobaltServiceProvider" --tag=default --force

```

Publish all admin views

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hoppermagic\Kobalt\KobaltServiceProvider" --tag=admin-views --force

```

Publish just the css and js

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hoppermagic\Kobalt\KobaltServiceProvider" --tag=css-js --force

```

If you need to recompile the js/css

```
npm run production

```

Create model, admin controller, form and request

Will create RabbitController etc

```
php artisan make:ko-resources Rabbit
php artisan make:ko-controller Rabbit
php artisan make:ko-form Rabbit

```

//!TODO config/app.php

//!TODO Notes about editable, deleteable, addable

**Forms**

Form Builder Static type is now escaped, so if you need to pass a view in need to use unescaped static.

```
$this->addCustomField('unescaped-static', 'Hoppermagic\Kobalt\Forms\Fields\UnescapedStaticType');

```

Form fields on desktop will be 60% width unless

```
'attr' => [
    'class' => 'form-control full-width'
],

```

Rich text fields

```
'attr' => [
    'class' => 'rich-text'
],

```
