  • Admin Panel
    • Based on AdminLTE theme
    • Statistics fetched by Google Analytics API integrated dashboard
    • Language management.
    • Category and article management
    • Page management with nested sets
    • Server side oriented datatables
    • TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor with photo uploading features
  • Front-end
    • View articles, categories, pages
    • Multi-language support

##Requirements PHP >= 5.5.9 MCrypt PHP Extension Database


##Quick Start:

git clone https://github.com/ozdemirburak/laravel-5-simple-cms.git CUSTOM_DIRECTORY
cd CUSTOM_DIRECTORY
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install
chmod 777 vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer

Create database with utf8_general_ci or utf8_unicode_ci collation, rename .env.example file, located in your root dir, to .env and configure it

php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
sudo npm install --global gulp bower
sudo npm install
bower install
gulp --production
php -S localhost:8000 -t public 

Open http://localhost:8000 from your browser. To access the admin panel, hit the link http://localhost:8000/admin from your browser. The application comes with default user with email address [email protected] and 123456. If you don't configure your .env file as expected, such as if you don't locate a .p12 file that is needed for analytics data parsing, then upon login, just hit http://localhost:8000/admin/user to see the features starting from the users part as you will get an error which is Can't find .p12 certificate.


##Installation Guide:


Step 1: Download the Repository

Either Clone the repository using git clone: git clone https://github.com/ozdemirburak/laravel-5-simple-cms.git CUSTOM_DIRECTORY or install via zip and extract to any of your folders you wish.


Step 2: Install Dependencies

If you have downloaded the repository using git clone, then change your directory to that folder: cd CUSTOM_DIRECTORY or if you have installed the file via zip, then within that folder, open your terminal. To install the composer dependencies you need to have composer installed, if you don't have composer, install it first curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php then php composer.phar install or if you have composer installed and globally, then just run composer install. Thus, as this application uses HTML Purifier, you need to change permissions for it. To do that, run chmod 777 vendor/ezyang/htmlpurifier/library/HTMLPurifier/DefinitionCache/Serializer.

As this project relies on bower and gulp heavily, you need to install them. First, install node, sudo apt-get install nodejs, then install npm sudo apt-get install npm and install gulp and bower globally, sudo npm install --global gulp bower. Finally, to install Laravel project dependencies, run sudo npm install.

After installing node modules, install javascript and style based dependencies run bower install, to combine the javascript and style files run gulp --production.

Rename your .env.example file as .env and change the variables as your own.

Finally, to generate a unique application key, run php artisan key:generate.


Step 3: Create database

Create a database with utf8_unicode_ci preferably or any utf8 collation you wish to make the application work as expected.


Step 4: Set Configuration

Open your .env file and change the fields corresponding to your own configurations.

All variables with DB_ prefixes relates to your database configuration.

For the mail configuration, this application uses Gmail as a mail server. To configure it correctly, you need to change the MAIL_USERNAME variable as your Gmail username without @gmail.com and password as your Gmail password, MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS is your Gmail account with @gmail.com and MAIL_FROM_NAME is your name that is registered to that Gmail account.

To use the Analytics API, you need to create a project from https://code.google.com/apis/console/, then you need to give a name to it. After creating a new project, from the left sidebar, click to APIs from APIs & Auth section. From the applications list, click to Analytics API and hit Enable API. After that, again from the left sidebar, click to Credentials and hit Create new Client ID. After you hit that button, you will be seeing a modal, select the Server option from the options list. After creating that, it will give you the Client ID and email address that you need within the .env file. After that, you need to hit Generate new P12 key to complete the api creation. Download the P12 key and store it within your application's storage/analytics folder. Finally, from https://www.google.com/analytics create new account and from the Admin section's subsection User Management, add the email address that was previously created with read and analyze permission. To sum up, ANALYTICS_SITE_ID is the id of the project that you create from Google Analytics user interface. If you can't find that, its the part that comes after p in the link in your browser when you are in the Admin section of that project. The link looks like this: https://www.google.com/analytics/web/management/Settings/a***w****pYOUR_SITE_ID_IS_HERE. ANALYTICS_CLIENT_ID and ANALYTICS_SERVICE_EMAIL are the ones that you previously created. The filename is your P12 that you previously downloaded, the .p12 suffix is not needed, for instance if you have downloaded SOMETHING-*****.p12 file, then you need to write SOMETHING-***** for the ANALYTICS_FILENAME variable. Finally, for the ANALYTICS_COUNTRY and ANALYTICS_COUNTRY_CODE define your custom country and its short code using the same structure within the example, short code must be upper cased and country name must be camel cased.

For the deployment, all you need is to set your FTP credentials.


Step 5: Migrate and Seed

To migrate the database tables, run php artisan migrate and to seed the database with some data, run php artisan db:seed.


Step 6: Serve

To serve the application, you can use php -S localhost:8000 -t public, then open http://localhost:8000 from your browser. To access the admin panel, hit the link http://localhost:8000/admin from your browser. The application comes with default user with email address [email protected] and 123456.

How to Create a New Resource

Lets assume we want to create a new resource for fruits where we'd like to manage our fruits with multi-language support, from our admin panel where will provide its' title and content.

php artisan make:controller Admin/FruitController
php artisan make:migration:schema create_fruits_table --schema="language_id:unsignedInteger:foreign, title:string, slug:string:unique, content:text"
php artisan make:request FruitRequest
php artisan make:form Forms/FruitsForm
php artisan migrate

This will create everything that we need to manage our Fruits.

Attention: The schema migration above may create two migrations, one by the command itself, one by the creating the model. So, before making the migration, you should check out the probable duplicates.

Afterwards, check your resources/lang folders' admin.php files, for the /en folder's admin.php file add the menu translations to menu array first.

"fruit" => [
    "root"       => "Fruits",
    "all"        => "All Fruits",
    "add"        => "Add a Fruit"
],

Then to the fields array, add the translations for the form that will be generated for it again.

"fruit" => [
    "title"       => "Title",
    "content"     => "Content",
    "language_id" => "Language"
],

Finally for the breadcrumbs generation add the fruit translations like below.

"fruit" => [
    "index"        => "Fruits",
    "edit"         => "Edit fruit",
    "create"       => "Create fruit",
    "show"         => "Show fruit"
],

After finishing the language parts, check the Fruit model, which is located in app folder as Fruit.php. As we are using slugs, configure the model as below.

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableInterface;
use Cviebrock\EloquentSluggable\SluggableTrait;
    
class Fruit extends Model implements SluggableInterface{

    use SluggableTrait;
    
    protected $sluggable = array(
        'build_from' => 'title',
        'save_to'    => 'slug',
        'on_update'  => true
    );
    
    protected $fillable = ['title', 'content', 'language_id'];

    public function language()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\Language');
    }
    
}

Hence add the relation to Language model that references our fruits.

public function fruits()
{
    return $this->hasMany('App\Fruit');
}

Then configure the controller FruitController.php file located in Controllers folder's Admin subfolder as below:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Requests\FruitRequest;
use App\Fruit;
use App\Language;
use Laracasts\Flash\Flash;
use Kris\LaravelFormBuilder\FormBuilder;
use Datatable;
use Session;

class FruitController extends Controller {
    
    public function index()
    {
        $table = $this->setDatatable();
        return view('admin.fruits.index', compact('table'));
    }
    
    public function create(FormBuilder $formBuilder)
    {
        $languages = Language::lists('title', 'id');
        $form = $formBuilder->create('App\Forms\FruitsForm', [
            'method' => 'POST',
            'url' => route('admin.fruit.store')
        ], $languages);
        return view('admin.fruits.create', compact('form'));
    }
    
    public function store(FruitRequest $request)
    {
        Fruit::create($request->all()) == true ? Flash::success(trans('admin.create.success')) :
            Flash::error(trans('admin.create.fail'));
        return redirect(route('admin.fruit.index'));
    }
    
    public function show(Fruit $fruit)
    {
        return view('admin.fruits.show', compact('fruit'));
    }
    
    public function edit(Fruit $fruit, FormBuilder $formBuilder)
    {
        $languages = Language::lists('title', 'id');
        $form = $formBuilder->create('App\Forms\FruitsForm', [
            'method' => 'PATCH',
            'url' => route('admin.fruit.update', ['id' => $fruit->id]),
            'model' => $fruit
        ], $languages);
        return view('admin.fruits.edit', compact('form', 'fruit'));
    }
    
    public function update(Fruit $fruit, FruitRequest $request)
    {
        $fruit->fill($request->all());
        $fruit->save() == true ? Flash::success(trans('admin.update.success')) :
            Flash::error(trans('admin.update.fail'));
        return redirect(route('admin.fruit.index'));
    }
    
    public function destroy(Fruit $fruit)
    {
        $fruit->delete() == true ? Flash::success(trans('admin.delete.success')) :
            Flash::error(trans('admin.delete.fail'));
        return redirect(route('admin.fruit.index'));
    }
        
    private function setDatatable()
    {
        return Datatable::table()
            ->addColumn(trans('admin.fields.fruit.title'), trans('admin.fields.updated_at'))
            ->addColumn(trans('admin.ops.name'))
            ->setUrl(route('admin.fruit.table'))
            ->setOptions(array('sPaginationType' => 'bs_normal', 'oLanguage' => trans('admin.datatables')))
            ->render();
    }
    
    public function getDatatable()
    {
        $language = Session::get('current_lang');
        return Datatable::collection($language->fruits)
            ->showColumns('title')
            ->addColumn('updated_at', function($model)
            {
                return $model->updated_at->diffForHumans();
            })
            ->addColumn('',function($model)
            {
                return get_ops('fruit', $model->id);
            })
            ->searchColumns('title')
            ->orderColumns('title')
            ->make();
    }
    
}    

Open your FruitRequest.php file within Requests folder and configure it as below or how you wish, put some validation.

<?php namespace App\Http\Requests;

use App\Http\Requests\Request;

class FruitRequest extends Request {
    
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }
    
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'title' => 'required|min:3',
            'content' => 'required|max:160',
            'language_id' => 'required|integer'
        ];
    }
    
}

Then open your FruitsForm.php file located in app/Forms folder and configure it.

<?php namespace App\Forms;

use Kris\LaravelFormBuilder\Form;

class FruitsForm extends Form
{
    public function buildForm()
    {
        $this
            ->add('language_id', 'choice', [
                'choices' => $this->data,
                'label' => trans('admin.fields.fruit.language_id')
            ])
            ->add('title', 'text', [
                'label' => trans('admin.fields.fruit.title')
            ])
            ->add('content', 'textarea', [
                'label' => trans('admin.fields.fruit.content')
            ])
            ->add('save', 'submit', [
                'label' => trans('admin.fields.save'),
                'attr' => ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']
            ])
            ->add('clear', 'reset', [
                'label' => trans('admin.fields.reset'),
                'attr' => ['class' => 'btn btn-warning']
            ]);
    }
}

Finally, create the fruits folder within resources/views/admin and create the views.

create.blade.php and edit.blade.php file as below:

@extends('layouts.admin')
@section('content')
    {!! form($form) !!}
    @include('partials.admin.tinymce')
@endsection

index.blade.php file as below:

@extends('layouts.admin')
@section('content')
    {!! $table !!}
@endsection

show.blade.php file as below:

@extends('layouts.admin')
@section('content')
    <div class="col-xs-12 no-padding">
        <div class="post-title pull-left">
            <h1> {{ $fruit->title }} </h1>
        </div>
    </div>
    <p>{!! $fruit->content !!}</p>
@endsection

Add the fruit routes, to routes.php file.

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'namespace' => 'Admin'], function()
{
    *
    *
    Route::get('fruit/table', ['as'=>'admin.fruit.table', 'uses'=>'FruitController@getDatatable']);
    Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function(){
        *
        *
        Route::resource('fruit', 'FruitController');
        *
        *
    });
    
});

Open the RouteServiceProvider.php file located in Providers folder and bind the fruit.

$router->model('fruit', 'App\Fruit');
$router->bind('admin.fruit', function($id)
{
    return \App\Fruit::findOrFail($id);
});

Finally, add the Fruit resource to our menu. To do that, open the MakeMenu middleware located in Http/Middleware folder and configure it as below.

$fruits = $menu->add(trans('admin.menu.fruit.root'), '#')
    ->icon('apple')
    ->prependIcon();
         
$fruits->add(trans('admin.menu.fruit.add'), ['route' => 'admin.fruit.create'])
    ->icon('circle-o')
    ->prependIcon();
         
$fruits->add(trans('admin.menu.fruit.all'), ['route' => 'admin.fruit.index'])
    ->icon('circle-o')
    ->prependIcon();

Now you have your fruit resource that can be manageable within your admin panel.
