Laravel Forum Package - Chatter
===============================

[](#laravel-forum-package---chatter)

### Installation

[](#installation)

**Quick Note**: This is package builds upon the `thedevdojo/chatter` Laravel forum package. Therefore, make sure you install it and configure it as needed.

Also, this package is tested on Laravel 5.7 so far. It could work with 5.6 and 5.5, but I haven't done the necessary tests

1. Include the package in your project

    ```
    composer require "codiiv/chatteradmin"

    ```
2. Add the service provider to your `config/app.php` providers array:

    **If you're installing on Laravel 5.5+ skip this step**

    ```
    'providers' = [
        // ...
        Codiiv\Chatter\ChatterServiceProvider::class,
        // ...
    ]

    ```
3. Publish the Vendor Assets files by running:

    ```
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Codiiv\Chatter\ChatterServiceProvider"

    ```
4. Now that we have published a few new files to our application we need to reload them with the following command:

    ```
    composer dump-autoload

    ```
5. Run Your migrations:

    NB: It is important to run the migrations so that you can set the super admin and other future features. This migration will create two additional tables on top of the ones created by the main `thedevdojo/chatter`

    ```
    php artisan migrate

    ```

    Quick tip: Make sure that you've created a database and added your database credentials in your `.env` file.
6. Lastly, CONFIGURE SUPER ADMIN account.

    You can do this two ways

    A) Run this command `php artisan chatter:superadmin someemail@somedomain.tld ` **replacing **  by the email of the user you want to set as super admin. Note that you can only have one super admin.

    IN a future version, we will add ability to have multiple admins, but the `super admin` role will remain one user

    OR

    B) - Once you have run `php artisan migrate` , look for the table `*chatter_options` and add a row with the following column values:

    ```
      option_name   >>  master_admin
      option_value  >>  USER ID for the super admin
      autoload      >> 1
      created_at    >> 2018-11-13 00:50:12  (or whatever)
      updated_at    >> 2018-11-13 00:50:12  (or whatever)

    ```

Now, visit your `site.com/chatteradmin` and you should see your new forum admin once logged in!
