Installation in Laravel 4.x

Add provider to the Providers array app/config/app.php, _(*3)

    'Micro\Pages\PagesServiceProvider',

Add Facade to the Facades array app/config/app.php, _(*4)

    'Micro\Pages\Support\Facades\Pages',

Add the following in your app/routes.php, _(*5)

best would be to add this at the end. This will CATCH all routes., _(*6)

Route::any('{all}', function() { 

    return View::make('base')->with('pages', Pages::getPage() );

})->where('all', '.*');

Replace base with the view you want to use for your pages. For now $page will consist of the following :, _(*7)

$page = array(
    'id'        => (int)    1
    'parent_id' => (int)    0,
    'public'    => (int)    1,
    'title'     => (string) 'Page title',
    'slug'      => (string) 'page-slug',
    'content'   => (string) 'The content of your page',
);

Database Driver

Mandatory of this driver is that it needs an active database connection., _(*9)

In the config you need to provite the table to look for, and asign the table fields. This may be different if you are comming from another system., _(*10)

As long as you are using eloquent this should work fluent-ly ;), _(*11)

    'database' => array(
            'table'       => 'pages',
            'id'          => 'id',
            'parent_id'   => 'parent_id',
            'language_id' => 'language_id',
            'title'       => 'title',
            'content'     => 'content'
