**Complete documentation is available on [teamteatime.net](https://www.teamteatime.net/docs/laravel-forum/5/).**

Versions
--------

[](#versions)

**Laravel version****Package version****PHP version**10^5.5^8.19^5.3^8.06 - 8^5.0^7.45^4.0^7.4See the [support policy in the Laravel docs](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/releases#support-policy) for more information about Laravel release versions, their supported PHP versions, and how long they receive bug & security fixes.

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

[](#installation)

### Step 1: Install the package

[](#step-1-install-the-package)

Install the package via composer:

```
composer require riari/laravel-forum:~5.0

```

[Package Discovery](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/packages#package-discovery) should take care of registering the service provider automatically, but if you need to do so manually, add the service provider to your `config/app.php`:

```
TeamTeaTime\Forum\ForumServiceProvider::class,
```

### Step 2: Publish the package files

[](#step-2-publish-the-package-files)

Run the vendor:publish command to publish the package config, translations and migrations to your app's directories:

`php artisan vendor:publish`

### Step 3: Update your database

[](#step-3-update-your-database)

Run your migrations:

`php artisan migrate`

### Step 4: Install a UI preset

[](#step-4-install-a-ui-preset)

As of 5.6.0, a `forum:install` command is available for installing UI presets. The available preset options are `bootstrap` (for a Bootstrap 5 UI) and `tailwind` (for a Tailwind CSS UI). You must install one of these to publish the corresponding views to your application. For example:

`php artisan forum:install tailwind`

### Additional steps

[](#additional-steps)

#### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Several configuration files are published to your application's config directory, each prefixed with `forum.`. Refer to these for a variety of options for changing the behaviour of the forum and how it integrates with key parts of your application code.

> You may need to modify the `forum.integration.user_name` config option according to your user model. This specifies which attribute on the user model should be used as a display name in the forum views.

#### Translations

[](#translations)

Laravel Forum currently supports 15 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Romanian, Russian, Thai, Turkish, Serbian, Portuguese (Brazil), Swedish, Chinese, and Indonesian. The translation files are published to `resources/lang/vendor/forum/{locale}`. **Some new language strings have been introduced in 5.0 but not yet translated; PRs to translate these would be greatly appreciated.**

Development
-----------

[](#development)

If you wish to contribute, an easy way to set up the package for local development is [Team-Tea-Time/laravel-studio](https://github.com/Team-Tea-Time/laravel-studio), which is set up to load a local working copy of this repository (see the [readme](https://github.com/Team-Tea-Time/laravel-studio/blob/6.x/readme.md#usage) for usage details).

### Running tests

[](#running-tests)

Bring up the MySQL service:

```
docker-compose up -d mysql
```

Install Composer dependencies:

```
docker-compose run --rm composer install
```

Run the phpunit container to execute tests:

```
docker-compose run --rm phpunit
```

### Seeding

[](#seeding)

The package tables can be seeded with sample categories, threads, posts, and a user via `forum:seed`:

```
docker-compose exec php-fpm php artisan forum:seed
```
