README

An interface for the administrator to easily change application settings. Uses Dick CRUD, on Laravel 5.1.

THERE ARE BETTER THINGS THAN DICK The Dick project is no longer actively maintained. For important projects please use the new version: Laravel Backpack.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require dick/settings
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dick\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider"
$ php artisan migrate

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.

Config::get('settings.contact_email')

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: admin@usedick.com)
• field (Dick CRUD field configuration in JSON format. http://usedick.com/docs)
• 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 Dick CRUD field configuration is a bit complicated. See the field types and their configuration code on http://usedick.com/docs
