Installation steps in Detail

php artisan migrate

This will create the 'core/minimum' tables needed (users table will be altered). You can run php artisan migrate --name=blog to include the migration tables.

php artisan titan:db:seed

This will seed the core tables to get started

• roles
• banners
• pages
• navigation_admin

php artisan titan:publish --files=website

This will copy all Website related files to your application.

• views, controllers and database seeds
• webpack.mix.js and packages.json
• resource/assets and public/assets (css, js, fonts, images)

Open routes\web.php and uncomment the home route.

Open app\Http\Kernel.php and add the below to the end of $routeMiddleware list.

'role'       => \Bpocallaghan\Titan\Http\Middleware\ValidateRole::class,
'auth.admin' => \Bpocallaghan\Titan\Http\Middleware\AuthenticateAdmin::class,

This is to register the Admin Middlewares

• AuthenticateAdmin - If the user logging in has the admin role.
• ValidateRole - Admin users can have multiple roles, filter the navigation on those roles.
