Introduction

There are basically two types of configurations: 1. Configuration File and 2. Configuration Manager. Both has quite a same working except the User's Comfortableness towards GUI. Configuration Manager use the Database to store the data and focuses on UI related configurations.

Configuration File

This file is like any other standard laravel configuration file. This file is generated at the time of installation and stored into /config/laraadmin.php. This file as two parts:

General Configurations

As of now general configuration stores only Admin Route Path /admin. This is the url segment which you use to access Admin Panel.


'adminRoute' => 'admin',

You can access this setting via config('laraadmin.adminRoute') where laraadmin is configuration file name. To get complete url for admin panel you can use: 


<a href="{{ url(config('laraadmin.adminRoute')) }}">Admin Panel</a>
Uploads Configurations

This configuration is for Uploads Manager to decide Uploads visibility and File name changes.


'uploads' => [
	'private_uploads' => false,
	'default_public' => false,
	'allow_filename_change' => true
],

Check details about this in Upload Manager Docs.

Configuration Manager

You can open Configurations by Configure Option shown in Top Navbar or by url /admin/la_configs
