Installation

You need a working Laravel installation. If you don't have one, you can create it using:

The application will be available in the ./pagible sub-directory. Then, run this command within your Laravel application directory:

Now, adapt the .env file of your application and change the APP_URL setting to your domain. If you are using php artisan serve for testing, add the port of the internal web server (APP_URL=http://localhost:8000). Otherwise, the uploading files will fail because they wouldn't be loaded!

Add a line in the "post-update-cmd" section of your composer.json file to update the admin backend files after each update:

Authorization

To allow existing users to edit CMS content or to create a new users if they don't exist yet, you can use the cms:user command (replace the e-mail address by the users one):

To disallow users to edit CMS content, use:

The CMS admin backend is available at (replace "mydomain.tld" with your own one):

Configuration

Captcha protection

To protect forms like the contact form against misuse and spam, you can add the HCaptcha service. Sign up at their web site and create an account.

In the HCaptcha dashboard, go to the Sites page and add an entry for your web site. When you click on the newly generated entry, the sitekey is shown on top. Add this to your .env file as:

In the account settings, you will find the secret that is required too in your .env file as:

DeepL translation

For enabling translation of content to the supported languages by DeepL, create an account at the DeepL web site first.

In the DeepL dashboard, go to API Keys & Limits and create a new API key. Copy the key and add it to your .env file as:

If you signed up for a PRO account, also set the DeepL API URL to:

AI support

To generate texts/images from prompts, analyze image/video/audio content, or execute actions based on your prompts, you have to configure one or more of the AI service providers supported by the Prism package.

All service providers require to sign-up and create an account first. They will provide an API key which you need to add to your .env file as shown in the Prism configuration file, e.g.:

Note: You only need to configure API keys for the AI service providers you are using, not for all!

For best support and all features, you need Google and OpenAI at the moment. They are also configured by default. If you want to use a different provider or model, you need to configure them in your .env file too:

Publishing

For scheduled publishing, you need to add this line to the routes/console.php class:

Clean up

To clean up soft-deleted pages, elements and files regularly, add these lines to the routes/console.php class:

You can configure the timeframe after soft-deleted items will be removed permantently by setting the CMS_PURGE option in your .env file. It's value must be the number of days after the items will be removed permanently or FALSE if the soft-deleted items shouldn't be removed at all.

Multi-domain

Using multiple page trees with different domains is possible by adding CMS_MULTIDOMAIN=true to your .env file.

Multi-tenancy

PagibleAI CMS supports single database multi-tenancy using existing Laravel tenancy packages or code implemented by your own.

The Tenancy for Laravel package is most often used. How to set up the package is described in the tenancy quickstart and take a look into the single database tenancy article too.

Afterwards, tell PagibleAI CMS how the ID of the current tenant can be retrieved. Add this code to the boot() method of your \App\Providers\AppServiceProvider in the ./app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file:

Custom authorization

If you want to integrate PagibleAI CMS into another application, you may want to grant access based ony your own authorization scheme. You can replace the permission handling by adding your own function. Add this code to the boot() method of your \App\Providers\AppServiceProvider in the ./app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php file:

The first parameter is the action access is requested for, e.g. "page:view" while the second parameter is the user object if authenticated. By default, permissions of CMS users are checked against the authorization bitmap from the cmseditor column of their user object from the Laravel users table. The function must return TRUE to grant access or FALSE if access is denied.

Available actions which access can be granted to are:

• page:view (show page tree)
• page:save (update existing pages)
• page:add (add new pages)
• page:drop (soft-delete pages)
• page:keep (restore soft-deleted pages)
• page:purge (delete pages permanently)
• page:publish (publish page meta data)
• page:move (move pages in the tree)
• element:view (show elements)
• element:save (update existing elements)
• element:add (add new elements)
• element:drop (soft-delete elements)
• element:keep (restore soft-deleted elements)
• element:purge (delete elements permanently)
• element:publish (publish elements)
• file:view (show uploaded files)
• file:save (update existing files)
• file:add (add new files)
• file:drop (soft-delete files)
• file:keep (restore soft-deleted files)
• file:purge (delete files permanently)
• file:publish (publish files)
