Download the PHP package backpack/base without Composer

Note: This package is only used by Backpack v3. Starting with Backpack v4, everything this package does is included in Backpack/CRUD - one package to rule them all.

Laravel Backpack v3.x's central package, which includes:

• admin login interface, using AdminLTE;
• basic menu;
• pretty error pages;
• alerts system (notification bubbles);

Install on Laravel 7.x, 8.x and up

Since September 2019, when we released Backpack 4.x, this package is no longer used. Only Backpack 3.x uses Backpack\Base, and Backpack 3.x will not receive support for Laravel 7.x, 8.x and above. We do encourage you to use Backpack + Laravel 7/8/up, but to do that please use the latest major version of Backpack.

Install on Laravel 6, 5.8, 5.7, 5.6 or 5.5

1) Run in your terminal:

2) Make sure the reset password emails have the correct reset link by adding these to your model:

• before class name
• as a method inside the User class:

3) [optional] Change values in config/backpack/base.php to make the admin panel your own. Change menu color, project name, developer name etc.

3. [optional] If you're building an admin panel, you should close the registration. In config/backpack/base.php look for "registration_open" and change it to false.

Overwriting Functionality

If you need to modify how this works in a project:

• create a file; the package will see that, and load your routes file, instead of the one in the package;
• create controllers/models that extend the ones in the package, and use those in your new routes file;
• modify anything you'd like in the new controllers/models;
