- In your terminal:
$ composer require backpack/settings- Add the service provider to your config/app.php file:
Backpack\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider::class,- Run the migration and add some example settings:
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider"
$ php artisan migrate
$ php artisan db:seed --class="Backpack\Settings\database\seeds\SettingsTableSeeder"- [Optional] Add a menu item for it in resources/views/vendor/backpack/base/inc/sidebar.blade.php or menu.blade.php:
<li><a href="{{ url('admin/setting') }}"><i class="fa fa-cog"></i> <span>Settings</span></a></li>Add it to the menu or access it by its route: application/admin/setting
Use it like you would any config value in a virtual settings.php file. Except the values are stored in the database and fetched on boot, instead of being stored in a file.
Config::get('settings.contact_email')Settings are stored in the database in the "settings" table. Its columns are:
- id (ex: 1)
- key (ex: contact_email)
- name (ex: Contact form email address)
- description (ex: The email address that all emails go to.)
- value (ex: [email protected])
- field (Backpack CRUD field configuration in JSON format. http://laravelbackpack.com/docs)
- active (1 or 0)
- created_at
- updated_at
There is no interface available to add new settings. They are added by the developer directly in the database, since the Dick CRUD field configuration is a bit complicated. See the field types and their configuration code on http://laravelbackpack.com/docs
