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

1. Run in your terminal:

composer require backpack/base
php artisan backpack:base:install

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

• before class name use Backpack\Base\app\Notifications\ResetPasswordNotification as ResetPasswordNotification;
• as a method inside the User class:

  /**
   * Send the password reset notification.
   *
   * @param  string  $token
   * @return void
   */
  public function sendPasswordResetNotification($token)
  {
      $this->notify(new ResetPasswordNotification($token));
  }

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

Upgrading from Laravel 5.8 to Laravel 6

• just upgrade your Laravel version and make sure you're running Backpack/Base 1.1.9 or higher;

Upgrading from Laravel 5.7 to Laravel 5.8 (or from Base 1.0 to Base 1.1)

• Upgrade to Laravel 5.8; you might need to change your backpack/crud dependency to 3.6.* in your composer.json;
• in your App\Models\BackpackUser instead of Tightenco\Parental\HasParent, please use Backpack\Base\app\Models\Traits\InheritsRelationsFromParentModel; here's the diff;
• in your app/config/backpack/base.php please change your default_date_format and default_datetime_format to Do MMMM YYYY and Do MMMM YYYY, HH:mm respectively;
• if you've overwritten inc/head.blade.php or inc/scripts.blade.php, please make sure you use the newest version of Bootstrap; they've fixed a security vulnerability (XSS);

Usage

1. Register a new user at yourappname/admin/register
2. Your admin panel will be available at yourappname/admin or yourappname/login
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 routes/backpack/base.php 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;
