// Go to your laravel project folder and install it via composer
// Initialize the CMS (You can set up database table prefix and locale here)
composer require alexstack/laravel-cms && php artisan laravelcms
// Now you can access the cms frontend site: http://yourdomain/cms-home
// Access the backend with the FIRST USER of your site: http://yourdomain/cmsadmin
// Note: The default admin is the first user in your laravel database(user id = 1 )- It's good for a local testing, it's support the latest Laravel version
// Step 1: Install Laravel to folder cms
composer create-project laravel/laravel cms && cd cms && composer require alexstack/laravel-cms
// Step 2: install CMS in silent mode
php artisan laravelcms --locale=en --table_prefix=cms_ --silent=yes
// Note: it will ask for database settings if you did not change the default .env file
// Note: it will automatically run a web server on port 9321 for your project
// Step 3: Now, you can access your cms backend via http://127.0.0.1:9321/cmsadmin/
// Default admin username: [email protected] password: admin321// Uninstall the CMS
php artisan laravelcms --action=uninstall
- This means you did not install Laravel Auth(User system)
- Can be fixed by the below commands:
// Laravel 6.x & Laravel >= 7 & Laravel >= 8
composer require laravel/ui && php artisan ui vue --auth
// Laravel 5.x, run blow command instead
php artisan make:auth && php artisan migrate- After install the Auth package, please register the first user as the admin
- Amila CMS use your existing Laravel user system

- If you don't have any existing user, then register a new one via http://your-domain/register
- You can fix it by creating a storage public link
- php artisan storage:link
- eg. The public/storage should link to ../storage/app/public, if the public/storage is a real folder, you should remove/rename it and run "php artisan storage:link" to set up the link.
- homepage_route: This is the frontend homepage. By default it is /cms-home, you can change it to / then remove the existing / route in the routes/web.php
# Change homepage_route to / in config/laravel-cms.php
'homepage_route' => env('LARAVEL_CMS_HOMEPAGE_ROUTE', '/'),
# Remove the existing / route in the routes/web.php
// Route::get('/', function () {
// return view('welcome');
// });- page_route_prefix: This is the frontend page prefix. By default it is /cms-, it will match path like /cms-*. You can change it to a folder like /xxx/ or anything like xxx-, eg. Page- Article-
'page_route_prefix' => env('LARAVEL_CMS_PAGE_PREFIX', '/Article-'),- admin_route: This is the backend admin page route, By default, it is /cmsadmin
'admin_route' => env('LARAVEL_CMS_BACKEND_ROUTE', '/admin2019'),- After changing the route, you will need to run below commands:
php artisan laravelcms --action=clear- .blade.php Code examples:
@if ( isset($file_data->main_image) )
<img src="{{$helper->imageUrl($file_data->main_image, '1000') }}" class="img-fluid" />
<img src="{{$helper->imageUrl($file_data->main_image, '500') }}" class="img-fluid" />
<img src="{{$helper->imageUrl($file_data->main_image, 'w', '150') }}" class="img-fluid" />
<img src="{{$helper->imageUrl($file_data->main_image, '100', '100') }}" class="img-fluid" />
<img src="{{$helper->imageUrl($file_data->main_image, 'original', 'original') }}" class="img-fluid" />
@endif- You can get an image with any width and height. or use the original image.
- Available image variables: $file_data->main_image, $file_data->main_banner, $file_data->extra_image, $file_data->extra_image_2
- The CMS will resize the image at the first time, then will directly use it afterwards.
- The asset files located at public/laravel-cms/<theme_name>, eg. public/laravel-cms/frontend/css
- Example code to load css or js:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ $helper->assetUrl('css/main.css') }}">
...
<script src="{{ $helper->assetUrl('js/bottom.js') }}"></script>- The default template file will load CSS and js asset with last_modify_time parameter to avoid cache from the browser

- Change the frontend_dir in the settings page to new_theme
- Default value in config/laravel-cms.php
