Backpack\NewsCRUD

An admin panel for menu items on Laravel 5, using Backpack\CRUD. Add, edit, reorder, nest, rename menu items and link them to Backpack\PageManager pages, external link or custom internal link.

Install

Since NewsCRUD is just a Backpack\CRUD example, you can choose to install it one of two ways.

(A) Download and place files in your application (recommended)

(B) As a package

The only PRO of installing it as a package is that you may benefit from updates. But the reality is there is very little (if any) bug fixing to do, so you probably won't need to update it, ever.

Intallation type (A) - download

Download the latest build.
Paste the 'app' and 'database' folders over your projects (merge them). No file overwrite warnings should come up.
Replace all mentions of 'Backpack\NewsCRUD\app' in the pasted files with your application's namespace ('App' if you haven't changed it):

app/Http/Controllers/Admin/ArticleCrudController.php
app/Http/Controllers/Admin/CategoryCrudController.php
app/Http/Controllers/Admin/TagCrudController.php
app/Http/Requests/ArticleRequest.php
app/Http/Requests/CategoryRequest.php
app/Http/Requests/TagRequest.php
app/Models/Article.php
app/Models/Category.php
app/Models/Tag.php

Run the migration to have the database table we need:

php artisan migrate

Add NewsCRUD to your routes file:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => ['web', 'auth'], 'namespace' => 'Admin'], function () {
    // Backpack\NewsCRUD
    CRUD::resource('article', 'ArticleCrudController');
    CRUD::resource('category', 'CategoryCrudController');
    CRUD::resource('tag', 'TagCrudController');
});

[optional] Add a menu item for it in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar.blade.php or menu.blade.php:

<li class="treeview">
    <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-newspaper-o"></i> <span>News</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i></a>
    <ul class="treeview-menu">
      <li><a href="{{ url('admin/article') }}"><i class="fa fa-newspaper-o"></i> <span>Articles</span></a></li>
      <li><a href="{{ url('admin/category') }}"><i class="fa fa-list"></i> <span>Categories</span></a></li>
      <li><a href="{{ url('admin/tag') }}"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i> <span>Tags</span></a></li>
    </ul>
</li>

Intallation type (B) - package

In your terminal, run:

$ composer require backpack/newscrud

Then add the service providers to your config/app.php file:

'Backpack\NewsCRUD\NewsCRUDServiceProvider',

Publish the migration:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\NewsCRUD\NewsCRUDServiceProvider"

Run the migration to have the database table we need:

php artisan migrate

[optional] Add a menu item for it in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar.blade.php or menu.blade.php:

<li class="treeview">
    <a href="#"><i class="fa fa-newspaper-o"></i> <span>News</span> <i class="fa fa-angle-left pull-right"></i></a>
    <ul class="treeview-menu">
      <li><a href="{{ url('admin/article') }}"><i class="fa fa-newspaper-o"></i> <span>Articles</span></a></li>
      <li><a href="{{ url('admin/category') }}"><i class="fa fa-list"></i> <span>Categories</span></a></li>
      <li><a href="{{ url('admin/tag') }}"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i> <span>Tags</span></a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
