How to install this bundle on Laravel?

This screencast will show you how...

Download a fresh copy of Laravel

PongoCMS is a full control content management system. This means that all routes will be managed by PongoCMS and if you need a cms controlled website, you probably want PongoCMS bundle installed on your Laravel start project only. That's why we suggest you to always start a new PongoCMS project from a fresh copy of Laravel Php Framework .

You can get a fresh copy of Laravel PHP Framework from Laravel website .

Config your Laravel framework local environment

The best way to start is using a local environment like MAMP (MacOSX) or XAMP (Windows).
Then you can follow the incredibly well done Laravel documentation .

Pay particular attention to application.php , database.php and session.php in /application/config

Set 'url' => '' with your full site url and 'key' => '' with a 32 random chars in application.php .

Set 'default' => '' with your db engine connection type in database.php (we use sqlite for small websites).

Set 'driver' => '' with the driver type you wish to use in session.php

Ok, ready to point your browser to the site url !
If Laravel splash page appears, you are ready to install PongoCMS.

Install and config PongoCMS bundle

OR
