Nifty CMS

A nifty little CMS written in Laravel 5.1 and AngularJS - intended for use in own projects

Changelog

• Compatibility with Laravel >= 5.1.1
• Removed authentication dependency on rydurham/Sentinel
• Authentication now relying on framework's built-in authentication - extended to include user roles
• Use of middleware to manage authorisation in the backend
• Refreshed backend design

Steps to Follow

1. Install a fresh copy of Laravel >= 5.1 and configure database and mail settings.

2. Add the following to the composer.json file

   "repositories": [   
       {
    	     "type": "git",
           "url": "https://github.com/ACWLtd/Nifty"
       },
       {
           "type": "git",
           "url": "https://github.com/ACWLtd/Utility"
       }        
   ],	

3. Add the following to the composer.json file, inside require

   "kjamesy/cms": "1.1.*",
   "kjamesy/utility": "dev-master" 

4. Add the following inside composer.json file:

   "minimum-stability": "dev",
   "prefer-stable" : true

5. Run composer update

6. Add the Service Providers to the providers array in config/app.php file:

   Kjamesy\Cms\CmsServiceProvider::class,

   PS: You may want to add the CmsServiceProvider BEFORE the RouteServiceProvider so the package's routes take precendence over those in your app.

7. Ensure you have a route named home in your app/Http/routes.php file. You could modify the default route to:

   Route::get('/', ['as' => 'home', function() {
       return View::make('welcome');
   }]);

8. Remove the framework default migrations inside database/migrations

9. Publish the package files (migrations, views and assets):

   php artisan vendor:publish

10. Run the migrations:

 ```shell
 php artisan migrate
 ```

11. Inside config/auth.php change model value to Kjamesy\Cms\Models\User::class, and email (inside password) to 'cms::emails.password',

12. Inside app/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php change redirect('home'); to redirect(route('home'));

13. Assuming default configuration, visit /admin and login with username jamesy and Password password

14. You now deserve a biscuit, go on!
