Woodpecker
==========

[](#woodpecker)

Content Management System for Windfall laravel applications.

Automatically creates admin panel, databases, form logic (with invisible captcha), and page logic.

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

[](#installation)

Require this package with composer:

```
composer require windfallinc/woodpecker
```

Package auto discovers.

Publish woodpecker assets, and migrate databases:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=woodpecker --force

php artisan migrate
```

If you have migration issues, see .

Boom! Good to go!

Example templates included in views/examples. Optional Helper functions to include in composer.json:

```
"autoload": {
"files": [
            "app/Http/Controllers/woodpecker-helpers.php"
        ],
```

If you are using Orca and Woodpecker, ensure your laravel mix file looks similar to:

```
const mix = require('laravel-mix');

/*
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | Mix Asset Management
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |
 | Mix provides a clean, fluent API for defining some Webpack build steps
 | for your Laravel application. By default, we are compiling the Sass
 | file for the application as well as bundling up all the JS files.
 |
 */

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .less('resources/assets/less/app.less', 'public/css')
   .less('resources/assets/less//woodpecker/admin.less', 'public/css/woodpecker');
```

Setup .env captcha to enable forms

```
NOCAPTCHA_SECRET=
NOCAPTCHA_SITEKEY=
```

Customization
-------------

[](#customization)

**Creating a new template**

Create template in views/templates/example-slug.blade.php

Add the newly created template to the database table 'templates'

The template will now appear in the backend, becoming available for any datatypes to use.

**Featured Image**

```
$page->featimg()
```

**Title**

```
$page->title
```

**Content**

```
@include('dashboard.includes.body')
```

**Any Custom Fields**

```
$page->get_the('field name')
```

**Meta Desc**

```
$page->metadesc
```

**Meta Keywords**

```
$page->keywords
```

**Creating a new component**

Views->components house all front end component code.

Views->dashboard->components house all backend component code.

Within the database, add a new 'component' and set its 'type' to template.

Edit Woodpeckers admin.less file to include your component css. For example: @import "../components/homepage-slider.less";

**Custom Routes**

Any route in the web.php file can override Woodpeckers routes. Ensure they are named and lead to your own custom controller

```
Route::get('/anything', 'WebsiteController@index')->name('anything');
```

Updating
--------

[](#updating)

After your composer update, to finalize your upgrade

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=woodpeckerupdate --force
```

Supports

Laravel 5.5 and up.
