System Requirements

Installation

Please check the system requirements before installing CMS Contact.

To get the latest version of CMS Contact, simply require "graham-campbell/cms-contact": "0.2.*@alpha" in your composer.json file. You'll then need to run composer install or composer update to download it and have the autoloader updated.

You will need to register many service providers before you attempt to load the CMS Contact service provider. Open up app/config/app.php and add the following to the providers key.

• 'Lightgear\Asset\AssetServiceProvider'
• 'Cartalyst\Sentry\SentryServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Core\CoreServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Viewer\ViewerServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Queuing\QueuingServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\HTMLMin\HTMLMinServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Markdown\MarkdownServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Security\SecurityServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Binput\BinputServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Passwd\PasswdServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Throttle\ThrottleServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Credentials\CredentialsServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\Navigation\NavigationServiceProvider'
• 'GrahamCampbell\CMSCore\CMSCoreServiceProvider'

Once CMS Contact is installed, you need to register the service provider. Open up app/config/app.php and add the following to the providers key.

• 'GrahamCampbell\CMSContact\CMSContactServiceProvider'

Configuration

CMS Contact supports optional configuration.

To get started, first publish the package config file:

php artisan config:publish graham-campbell/cms-contact

There are two config options:

Path To The Form

This option ('path') defines the path to the contact form. This is the page where your contact form should be. The default value for this setting is 'pages/contact'.

Contact Form Email

This option ('email') defines the email address to send contact form messages to. Setting it to null will email the contact form data to the user with the id of 1. Please only enter an email address here if you change it from null. The default value for this setting is null.

Usage

There is currently no usage documentation besides the API Documentation for CMS Contact.

You will need to write your own contact form with this plugin. CMS Comment simply provides you with the backend functionality to create a comment form. CMS Comment form will register the route contact.post which will accept POST requests to the path contact. Note that a basic form is included and can be pulled into one of your own views if you want it.
