CMS Package for Laravel 4

How to Install

• Install L4 App from Github ( Watch this if you need to know how : http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-laravel-4/)
• In your app composer.json file, add:

	"require": {
		"raftalks/ravel": "*"
	}

• Configure your database settings in the L4 app/config/database.php file
• Open your terminal in the L4 App root directory and run php composer.phar update command
• Add Ravel Service Provider to the app/config/app.php file under the array key "providers" as shown below

'providers' => array(
		
		'Raftalks\Ravel\RavelServiceProvider',

)

• And run the following command in the terminal to start installing the CMS package

 php artisan ravel:install

• The above command will publish all the assets and run the migration and seeds
• Before using Ravel CMS, you may want to do some configuration changes like setup a username and password, look inside vendor/raftalks/ravel/src/config/app.php file, by default the username is "admin" and password is "ravel".

How to update the package

• Use the following composer update command to download the updates

php composer.phar update

• and after downloading the updates, run the following artisan command to make sure migrations and package assets gets updated

php artisan ravel:update

Setting up custom fields to Post and Page

• Check the config file under the package path app/config/packages/raftalks/ravel/content.php

'custom_fields' => array(

			//'example'
			//'post'		=> array(
							// 		"{metakey}" => array('label'=>'{name}','type'=>'{text}', 'attr'=>array(), 'options'=>array())
							// )

			'post'			=> array(
								'somefield' => array('label'=>'custom field','type'=>'input_checkbox'),
								'custom_field3' => array('label'=>'custom field','type'=>'ng_datepicker'),
								'custom_field2' => array('label'=>'custom field2','type'=>'select','options'=>array(1=>'test',2=>'two',3=>'three',4=>'four'))
								),

			'page'			=> array(),

			'attachement'	=> array(),

		),

Admin Panel

• By default the CMS admin panel is available on http://www.domain.com/admin and you can change the base url to admin panel by changing the app config file of the package.
