#Compatibility

| Laravel | RedminPortal | Branch | |:-------:|:------------:|:------:| | 4.2 | 0.1.x | v0.1 | | 5.0 | 0.2.x | v0.2 | | 5.1 | 0.3.x | v0.3 |

Version 0.2 and 0.3 are developed in parallel. The only difference between them is the Laravel version they support. However, this may change in future.

Development for branch v0.1 has stopped. Please upgrade to v0.2 or v0.3 instead.

Important note

Version >=0.3.2 and >=0.2.2 may break your front-end due to the change in UserPricelist. Refer to UPGRADE.md for the upgrading instructions.

Version 0.3 is backward compatible to Version 0.2.

Version 0.3 and 0.2 are SOMEWHAT backward compatible to Version 0.1. Refer to UPGRADE.md.

Upgrading from v0.1?

We've included a few database migrations to upgrade the database to support v0.2/v0.3. However, use this at your own risk. The upgrade scripts were not thoroughly tested and it may not be complete. If you find something missing, please report to us using the issue ticket. We welcome any contribution too.

Refer to UPGRADE.md for the upgrading instructions.

Translation options

There is an translation option in Category, Module, Media, Product, Promotion and Portfolio.

You can add more languages in the translation config file at path

vendor\redooor\redminportal\src\config\translation.php

or if you have published it to your root

root\config\packages\redooor\redminportal\translation.php

To use it, get the model's translations and use json_decode to convert content into an object, like this:

foreach ($product->translations as $translation) {
    $lang = $translation->lang;
    $translated = json_decode($translation->content);
    var_dump($translated->name, $translated->short_description, $translated->long_description);
}

Installation guide for Users

You can install Laravel version 5.1 using the command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel myproject 5.1.*

1. Add Redminportal to composer.json of a new Laravel application, under "require". Like this:

    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "5.1.*",
        "redooor/redminportal": "0.3.[*|specify a version]"
    },
   

   NOTE:

   It is advisable to specify the minor version (e.g. 0.3.3) so that it's more controlled. Although we try to be as backward compatible as possible, many changes are added into each version, so it may sometimes break your front end code.

2. Then run php composer update [--prefer-dist] in a terminal.

   Use --prefer-dist to include only essential files (i.e. exclude tests).

3. Now, edit your [root]\config\app.php providers and alias array like this:

    'providers' => array(
        Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class,
        ... omitted ...
   
        // Add this line
        Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider::class,
    ),
   

4. Then run php composer dump-autoload in a terminal.

5. Run the following commands in a terminal to perform database migration for Redminportal:

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="migrations" [--force]
    ?> php artisan migrate --path=/database/migrations/vendor/redooor/redminportal
   

   CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

6. Run the following in a terminal to seed the database with initial admin username and password:

    ?> php artisan db:seed --class="RedminSeeder"
   
    Username/password: admin@admin.com/admin
   

7. Publish package assets by running this in a terminal:

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="public" [--force]
   

   CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

8. Publish package config by running this in a terminal:

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="config" [--force]
   

   CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

9. Optional: Publish package views by running this in a terminal:

   Only do this if you want to modify Redminportal views without editing the source code.

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="views" [--force]
   

   CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

Installation guide for Contributors

It is recommended that contributors use Laravel Homestead for development because it will provide the same development environment for all of us. Read more about Laravel Homestead here.

1. Install Laravel 5.1 using this guide. We'll call this the [root].

You can install Laravel version 5.1 using the command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel myproject 5.1.*

2. Create a folder named "packages" inside the [root] folder.

3. Clone the Redooor\Redminportal repository into [root]\packages\redooor\redminportal folder.

4. Open a terminal, cd to [root]\packages\redooor\redminportal folder then run:

   composer update --prefer-dist -vvv --profile

5. Then add Redooor\Redminportal source to [root]'s composer.json under "autoload" like this:

    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "database"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "app/",
            "Redooor\\Redminportal\\": "packages/redooor/redminportal/src"
        }
    },
   

6. Then cd to [root]'s folder and run:

   composer update --prefer-dist -vvv --profile --no-dev

   NOTE: the [root]'s phpunit dependency will clash with the package's phpunit. "--no-dev" ensures that it is not installed on [root]. You can also choose to remove phpunit from require inside the [root]'s composer.json.

7. Now, edit your [root]\config\app.php providers and alias array like this:

    'providers' => array(
        Illuminate\Foundation\Providers\ArtisanServiceProvider::class,
        ... omitted ...
   
        // Add this line
        Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider::class,
    ),
   

8. Run the following commands in a terminal to perform database migration for Redminportal inside the [root] folder:

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="migrations" [--force]
    ?> php artisan migrate --path=/database/migrations/vendor/redooor/redminportal
   

   CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

9. Run the following in a terminal to seed the database with initial admin username and password:

    ?> php artisan db:seed --class="RedminSeeder"
   
    Username/password: admin@admin.com/admin
   

10. Publish package assets by running this in a terminal:

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="public" [--force]
    

    CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

11. Publish package config by running this in a terminal:

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="config" [--force]
    

    CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

12. Optional: Publish package views by running this in a terminal:

    Only do this if you want to modify Redminportal views without editing the source code.

    ?> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Redooor\Redminportal\RedminportalServiceProvider" --tag="views" [--force]
    

    CAUTION: using --force will overwrite existing files

1. You need to have nodejs installed
2. cd to packages/redooor/redminportal
3. Run npm install
4. Run bower install
5. To build all assets, run grunt
6. To compile just the less css, run grunt less-compile

Testing

    ?> composer update --prefer-dist -vvv --profile
    ?> vendor/bin/phpunit
  

  NOTE: If you run out of memory while running the full tests, try running the tests by sub-folders.
