Install

Note: The default table name is settings, if you need to change it please carefully read the comments in the instruction below.

In your terminal:

Usage

End user

Add it to the menu or access it by its route: application/admin/setting

Programmer

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.

Add new settings

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. https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/crud-fields#default-field-types)
• 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 Backpack CRUD field configuration is a bit complicated. See the field types and their configuration code on https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs

Override existing configurations

You can use this addon to make various Laravel configurations adjustable through the settings GUI, including Backpack settings themself. For example, you can override the Backpack show_powered_by or the skin setting in /config/Backpack/base.php.

1. Create the setting entry in your settings database. You can add the settings manually, or via Laravel seeders. The values inserted into the database should be look similar to below:

   For Backpack show_powered_by setting:

   Field	Value
   key	show_powered_by
   name	Showed Powered By
   description	Whether to show the powered by Backpack on the bottom right corner or not.
   value	1
   field	{"name":"value","label":"Value","type":"checkbox"}
   active	1

   For Backpack Skin setting:

   Field	Value
   key	skin
   name	Skin
   description	Backpack admin panel skin settings.
   value	skin-purple
   field	{"name":"value","label":"Value","type":"select2_from_array","options":{"skin-black":"Black","skin-blue":"Blue", "skin-purple":"Purple","skin-red":"Red","skin-yellow":"Yellow","skin-green":"Green","skin-blue-light":"Blue light", "skin-black-light":"Black light","skin-purple-light":"Purple light","skin-green-light":"Green light","skin-red-light":"Red light", "skin-yellow-light":"Yellow light"},"allows_null":false,"default":"skin-purple"}
   active	1

2. Open up the app/Providers/AppServiceProvider file, and add the below lines:

Please see CONTRIBUTING for details.

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;

Security

If you discover any security related issues, please email [email protected] instead of using the issue tracker.
