Blog

This is basic blog package. It provides low-end features (DB architecture, editor, basic models) and not high-end logic(!)., _(*1)

Installation

First of all, run migrations php artisan migrate --path=vendor/romalytvynenko/blog/database/migrations, _(*2)

Or, if you want to add special columns create migration and extend it from Romalytvynenko\Blog\database\migrations\CreatePostsTable, then implement up() method, and add columns via Schema::table method. For, example we need add conference_id columns to post's table., _(*3)

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

class CreatePostsTable extends Romalytvynenko\Blog\database\migrations\CreatePostsTable
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
    */
    public function up()
    {
        parent::up();

        Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->integer('conference_id')->after('user_id');
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
    */
    public function down()
    {
        parent::down();
    }
}

After this you can run migration as always you do it: php artisan migrate, _(*4)
