Quick Start

For Users

Users can access their personal rewind from their user profile.
The community snapshot is available at Rewind page.

For Admins

Enable the Rewind extension in your admin panel.
In the extension settings, select the year you want to generate a Rewind for (e.g., 2025).
Click the Generate button. (This process may take a few minutes depending on the size of your forum).
Under the Templates & Blade tab, choose the desired Presentation Format (Interactive Slideshow or Custom Blade) for each year.

Important Note: Statistics for a past year are designed to be generated after that year has ended (e.g., generating 2025 data in January 2026).

🎭 Customizable Blade Templates

In addition to the interactive animated slideshow, you can render annual recaps using custom Laravel Blade templates that persist across Composer updates:

Set Presentation Format: In the admin panel under Templates & Blade, switch any year from Interactive Story Slideshow to Custom Blade Template.
Override Views: Place custom .blade.php files inside storage/rewind/views/:
- User recaps: user_{year}.blade.php (e.g. user_2025.blade.php) or fallback user.blade.php
- Community recaps: community_{year}.blade.php (e.g. community_2025.blade.php) or fallback community.blade.php
Template Variables: Views receive $user, $metrics array, $year, $forumTitle, $baseUrl, and $actor. The admin panel includes a complete variable reference and copyable snippets.
