git clone https://github.com/cartalyst/platform.git blog
Navigate into the downloaded folder and run
composer install
Platform can be installed either through the browser or terminal,
Navigate to your vhost, the installer will appear, follow instructions.
run php artisan platform:install and follow instructions.
Note If you want platform to install the extension for you, make sure you create a
workbenchdirectory that is writable by the webserver in your project root before proceeding with the next step.
Open the app in the browser, Sign in, go to Admin
Under Operations choose Workshop
Fill out the fields as follows
Author Name: Cartalyst Author Email: [email protected] Vendor: cartalyst Name: blog Version: 0.1.0 Description: A Platform 2 Blog Extension
Components: Admin components Frontend components
Install Method: Automatic
Click on Save
We'll start by defining our routes on workbench/cartalyst/blog/extension.php
under routes around #186 we'll define our routes as follows
// Admin routes
Route::group(array('prefix' => admin_uri().'/blog', 'namespace' => 'Cartalyst\Blog\Controllers\Admin'), function()
{
Route::get('/', 'BlogController@index');
Route::get('grid', 'BlogController@grid');
Route::get('create', 'BlogController@create');
Route::post('create', 'BlogController@store');
Route::get('{id}/edit', 'BlogController@edit');
Route::post('{id}/edit', 'BlogController@update');
Route::get('{id}/delete', 'BlogController@delete');
});
// Frontend routes
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'blog', 'namespace' => 'Cartalyst\Blog\Controllers\Frontend'), function()
{
Route::get('/', 'BlogController@index');
Route::get('{id}', 'BlogController@show');
});
Now, let's create our blog migrations
Navigate to your project directory in the terminal,
run php artisan migrate:make create_posts_table --path="workbench/cartalyst/blog/database/migrations" --create posts
Now we need to add title and body fields to our migration, navigate to the newly created migration and add the missing fields to match the following
Schema::create('posts', function(Blueprint $table)
{
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('title');
$table->text('body');
$table->timestamps();
});
Let's create our Post model .. workbench/cartalyst/blog/src/Post.php
<?php namespace Cartalyst\Blog;
use Eloquent;
use Str;
use Carbon\Carbon;
class Post extends Eloquent {
protected $appends = array('summary');
protected $guarded = array(
'id',
'created_at',
'updated_at',
);
public function getSummaryAttribute($item)
{

}
public function getCreatedAtAttribute($item)
{
return Carbon::parse($item)->format('M d, Y');
}
}

run php artisan theme:publish --extension=cartalyst/blog
Now that we've prepared our files, we can continue and install the extension.
Navigate to your admin dashboard, under Operations choose Extensions,
Click on the edit button next to your extension
Click Install, this will install and run your extensions migrations.
Click Enable.
At this point, you should find a new Blog menu item on the admin dashboard, navigate to it and start creating posts!
On the frontend, you will find a blog menu item as well, navigate to it to find your blog listings.
This package's autoloading happens automatically after generating the migration,
php artisan dump-autoload is invoked right after the migration is created.
If you do not create any migrations, or you're installing your package from scratch, you have to manually dump-autoload.
You can dump-autoload your workbench package using one of the following methods
run php artisan dump-autoload
This will also run for all of your workbenches.
run composer dump-autoload
This will dump the required files for auto loading.
