Install
- Add a file to define your page templates in
app/PageTemplates.php
:
<?php namespace App; trait PageTemplates { /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Page Templates for Backpack\PageManager |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Each page template has its own method, that define what fields should show up using the Backpack\CRUD API. | Use snake_case for naming and PageManager will make sure it looks pretty in the create/update form | template dropdown. | | Any fields defined here will show up after the standard page fields: | - select template | - page name (only seen by admins) | - page title | - page slug */ private function services() { $this->crud->addField([ // CustomHTML 'name' => 'metas_separator', 'type' => 'custom_html', 'value' => '<br><h2>'.trans('backpack::pagemanager.metas').'</h2><hr>', ]); $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'meta_title', 'label' => trans('backpack::pagemanager.meta_title'), 'fake' => true, 'store_in' => 'extras', ]); $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'meta_description', 'label' => trans('backpack::pagemanager.meta_description'), 'fake' => true, 'store_in' => 'extras', ]); $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'meta_keywords', 'type' => 'textarea', 'label' => trans('backpack::pagemanager.meta_keywords'), 'fake' => true, 'store_in' => 'extras', ]); $this->crud->addField([ // CustomHTML 'name' => 'content_separator', 'type' => 'custom_html', 'value' => '<br><h2>'.trans('backpack::pagemanager.content').'</h2><hr>', ]); $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'content', 'label' => trans('backpack::pagemanager.content'), 'type' => 'summernote', 'placeholder' => trans('backpack::pagemanager.content_placeholder'), ]); } private function about_us() { $this->crud->addField([ 'name' => 'content', 'label' => trans('backpack::pagemanager.content'), 'type' => 'summernote', 'placeholder' => trans('backpack::pagemanager.content_placeholder'), ]); } }
- In your terminal
composer require backpack/pagemanager
- Publish the views, migrations and the PageTemplates trait:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\PageManager\PageManagerServiceProvider"
- Run the migration to have the database table we need:
php artisan migrate
- [optional] Add a menu item for it:
# For Backpack v6
php artisan backpack:add-menu-content "<x-backpack::menu-item title='Pages' icon='la la-file-o' :link=\"backpack_url('page')\" />"
# For Backpack v5 or v4
php artisan backpack:add-sidebar-content "<li class='nav-item'><a class='nav-link' href='{{ backpack_url('page') }}'><i class='nav-icon la la-file-o'></i> <span>Pages</span></a></li>"
Usage
- Go to yourapp/admin/page and see how it works.
- Define your own templates in app/PageTemplates.php using the Backpack\CRUD API.
Example front-end
No front-end is provided (Backpack only takes care of the admin panel), but for most projects this front-end code will be all you need:
(1) Create a catch-all route at the end of your routes file:
/** CATCH-ALL ROUTE for Backpack/PageManager - needs to be at the end of your routes.php file **/ Route::get('{page}/{subs?}', ['uses' => '\App\Http\Controllers\PageController@index']) ->where(['page' => '^(((?=(?!admin))(?=(?!\/)).))*$', 'subs' => '.*']);
(2) Create app\Http\Controllers\PageController.php
that actually shows the page.
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Backpack\PageManager\app\Models\Page; use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; class PageController extends Controller { public function index($slug, $subs = null) { $page = Page::findBySlug($slug); if (!$page) { abort(404, 'Please go back to our <a href="'.url('').'">homepage</a>.'); } $this->data['title'] = $page->title; $this->data['page'] = $page->withFakes(); return view('pages.'.$page->template, $this->data); } }
(3) Create the views for those templates (how those pages actually look - the HTML CSS JS) and place them in your resources/views/pages/
directory. Inside those blade files, you can use the $page
variable. That's where all the page content is stored. For more complicated pages, you can also use fake fields in your page templates. You'll also find those attributes in the $page
variable.
Note: if you find yourself in need of sending extra data to a view you load on multiple pages, you should consider using a view composer;
Extend
If you need to make any modifications to the controller, model or request, you should:
- make sure
config/backpack/pagemanager.php
is published; if not, publish it usingphp artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\PageManager\PageManagerServiceProvider"
; - create a new controller/model that extends the one in the package;
- enter controller or model in the pagemanager.php config file, and that's the one that the CRUD will be using;
Optional: Mutator for fields using 'store_in' and 'fake' keys
Fake fields do not trigger individual mutators, they trigger the "fake column" mutator. For example instead of defining a setImageAttribute()
mutator, please define a setExtrasAttribute()
mutator. You'll have the $value
then.

Testing

Please see CONTRIBUTING and CONDUCT for details.
Overwriting Functionality
If you need to modify how this works in a project:
- create a
routes/backpack/pagemanager.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;
