Shoulderscms

Currently a very early version of a CMS built on top of Laravel. Also uses Admin LTE as the backend theme., _(*1)

Getting Started

This is not production ready...so use at your own risk. This is a very early release., _(*2)

• install Laravel like you normally would.
• Add the following to the require block in your composer.json file

"shoulderscms/shoulderscms": "dev-master"

• Do composer update in terminal
• Add the following to your app/app.php under service providers:

'providers' => [
    'Shoulderscms\Shoulderscms\ShoulderscmsServiceProvider',
    'Lavary\Menu\ServiceProvider',
    'Jaybizzle\Safeurl\SafeurlServiceProvider',
]

• Add the following to your app/app.php under aliases:

'aliases' => [
    'Menu'              => 'Shoulderscms\Shoulderscms\Facades\Menu',
    'Safeurl'           => 'Jaybizzle\Safeurl\Facades\Safeurl',
]

• For some reason there is an error currently in the Menu package. Open vendor/lavary/laravel-menu/src/Lavary/Menu/Menu.php and comment out line 63
• Update your app/config/local/database.php file to reflect your local DB with proper host, database, username, password credentials.
• Run package migrations by running the following in terminal:

php artisan migrate --package=shoulderscms/shoulderscms

• Publish the package assets

php artisan asset:publish shoulderscms/shoulderscms

• Remove the base app/routes.php file. Or just delete the route inside. Otherwise the homepage will only show the default Laravel screen.
• assuming you have set everything up correctly, you should be able to go to /admin and see the login screen. Use the console to set up a new user using the php artisan create-user command. You will be prompted for all the necessary fields.

Note: If you are using Homestead, you may have to be SSHed into your Homestead machine in order for it to be able to write to your DB., _(*3)
