sArticles for Evolution CMS

sArticles is a publications, news, and blog management module for the Evolution CMS manager.

The current manager interface is rebuilt on top of EvoUI and Livewire. It works as a responsive SPA-like manager module: tabs, filters, sorting, pagination, modal forms, inline actions, and content editing update through Livewire instead of full iframe reloads.

Features

• Publications with multiple configurable resource types.
• EvoUI tables with table/list views, filters, search, sorting, pagination, selection, bulk-style actions, and session state.
• Future publication dates keep published records hidden on the frontend until their time.
• Large modal article editor with main fields, relations, SEO fields, multilingual tabs, and a content builder.
• Content builder blocks: RichText, SingleImg, Image and Text, YouTube, Quote, Note, ArticlePreview, Poll, Slider, Accordion, and File.
• Authors, tags, tag texts, topics, features, comments, polls, and TV parameter management.
• Native optional integrations with sSeo, sLang, eTinyMCE, and dTui.editor.
• Publication comments, rating, poll votes, view tracking, aliases, and frontend helper API.
• Configurable module settings use package defaults and save project overrides only after changes.

Module settings

Requirements

• PHP ^8.4
• Evolution CMS ^3.5.7
• evolution-cms/evo-ui ^1.0.2
• Livewire, as provided by the Evolution CMS/EvoUI runtime

Optional packages:

• seiger/sseo for SEO fields and sitemap metadata.
• seiger/slang for multilingual content.
• eTinyMCE or dTui.editor for rich text fields.

Installation

Run inside the Evolution CMS core directory.

evolution-cms/evo-ui owns the shared manager CSS/JS runtime. With EvoUI 1.0.2+, vendor:publish --tag=evo-ui --force publishes those files through Evolution CMS symlink-aware publish declarations, so sArticles does not expose or copy assets directly from core/vendor.

The sarticles publish tag prepares package assets and the local settings directory placeholder. It does not copy the full settings file by default. sArticles reads defaults from the package and creates the project override only after settings are changed in the manager.

In Extras-based development environments the package can also be installed with the Evolution Extras command used by the project:

After changing settings in the manager, project overrides are saved to:

Upgrading From 1.x To 2.x

sArticles 2.x keeps the public sArticles:: facade API, but the alias is now registered by Seiger\sArticles\sArticlesServiceProvider at runtime.

If an older 1.x installation has the generated alias file below, remove it after upgrading:

The package no longer needs an extra.laravel.aliases entry in composer.json, and the alias file should not be copied or published manually. Provider discovery is still handled by extra.laravel.providers; use extra.laravel.priority only when a concrete provider load-order requirement appears.

Builder Render Customization

Builder block HTML is rendered through lowercase Laravel package views such as:

To customize markup, copy only the needed package view into the site override path:

Existing articles keep materialized HTML in the content column. After changing render views, refresh stored HTML explicitly:

Documentation

Localized documentation lives in docs/:

• English
• Ukrainian
• Russian
• German
• French
• Polish

Each language contains a user guide and a developer guide.

Quick Frontend Usage

Frontend helpers use the active-publication rule: published = 1 and published_at is empty or not later than the current site time.

Useful facade methods:

• sArticles::all($paginate = 30)
• sArticles::comments($paginate = 30, $articleIds = [])
• sArticles::getArticle($id)
• sArticles::getArticleByAlias($alias)
• sArticles::resolveArticleByUri($segments)
• sArticles::trackView($article)
• sArticles::showPoll($id)
• sArticles::ratingVotes($id)
• sArticles::setComment($id)
• sArticles::publishArticle()
• sArticles::config($key, $default = null)

Native Integrations

EvoUI + Livewire

sArticles registers an EvoUI module panel and table/form presets. The manager UI is driven by Livewire components and package config files:

• config/articles/table.php
• config/articles/modal.php
• config/*/table.php
• config/settings/form.php

sSeo

sArticles exposes manager and frontend hooks for SEO packages. When sSeo is installed, it uses those hooks to render and save SEO data for resource type article.

• Without sLang, SEO fields are shown as a standalone SEO area in the article modal.
• With sLang, SEO fields are attached to each language flow.
• In multisite projects, SEO data is saved under the article owner's site key instead of a shared default key.

sLang

When sLang is installed, article modal tabs are generated from the language configuration. Shared article data remains global, while translated fields and content are saved per language.

Rich Text Editors

The module setting general.editor controls which editor sArticles uses:

• system uses EVO which_editor.
• A registered editor name, such as eTinyMCE or dTuiEditor, forces that editor inside sArticles.

Per-field editor selectors are intentionally hidden in sArticles forms to keep the article UI compact and predictable.

Development Notes

• The new manager UI is config-driven and uses EvoUI/Livewire.
• Legacy manager blades, scripts, and styles are removed from the new flow.
• Use EVO_* constants for Evolution paths; old compatibility aliases should not be used in new code.
• Keep module-specific hooks in sArticles, not in EvoUI.
• Keep package-specific integrations in the integrating package. sArticles provides hooks; packages like sSeo provide their own fields, defaults, render logic, and save logic.
• Use table presets for manager lists and modal presets for edit/create flows.
