Laravel package for displaying, creating and managing polls with permissions!
You can install the package via composer:
composer require hannoma/larapollsIn Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. In older versions of the framework just add the service provider in config/app.php file:
'providers' => [
// ...
Hannoma\Larapolls\LarapollsServiceProvider::class,
];You can publish the package files with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hannoma\Larapolls\LarapollsServiceProvider"Because this package uses spatie/laravel-permission for the permissions, you should publish the migration files of that package too:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Permission\PermissionServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"After the migration has been published you can create the poll and permission-tables by running the migrations:
php artisan migrateAll important configuration options can be found in the config/larapolls.php file:
<?php
return [

];NOTE: The permissions defined in the standard_permissions array are added to the role larapolls_standard when you first access the home route of Larapolls. If you want to add or remove permissions from this role later on, do this:
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Role;
$role = Role::where('name', 'larapolls_standard')->first();
//Add a permission
$role->givePermissionTo('your permission');
//Remove a permission
$role->revokePermissionTo('your permission');Or you can remove the role for some users:
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Role;
$user->removeRole('larapolls_standard');After publishing the vendor files of this package, you can find the localization files in resources/lang/vendor/larapolls/.
Supported languages by this package are:
- English
- German
If you want to add your locale, create the folder resources/lang/vendor/larapolls/YOUR LOCALE/. Then just copy the larapolls.php localization file of another locale and translate the strings. If you add your locale, I would be very thankful if you create a pull request with your locale ^^
This package was created and designed with Bootstrap version 4.x, but gives you the option to use Bootstrap version 3.x instead. Therefor you need to change the value bootstrap_v4 to false in the config/larapolls.php file.
The templates for Bootstrap version 4.x are called *_v4.blade.php, the templates for version 3.x *_v3.blade.php.
NOTE: Because the package was created with version 4.x, the view files for version 3.x contain the same code as the view files for version 4! So you need to change some things in order that they work with version 3.x!
After publishing the package vendor files, you can find the blade templates in resources/views/vendor/larapolls/.
All your changes in these files will be displayed on your site.
NOTE: DO NOT change any if conditions or other blade commands otherwise this package may not work anymore!
First, add the Spatie\Permission\Traits\HasRoles trait to your User model(s).
Please use the user model App\User, because otherwise there will be errors using Larapolls:
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Spatie\Permission\Traits\HasRoles;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasRoles;
// ...
}This package comes with artisan commands to setup permissions for different roles and categories.
Just run php artisan larapolls:setup_roles and use these options:
--Aor--adminfor a admin role--Mor--moderatorfor a moderator (bound to a specific category)--Dor--defaultMemberfor a member of a specific category
All polls are displayed on the larapolls.home route.
You can display polls of a category with the larapolls.category route which takes the parameter category.
You can also display a poll with a given id on any page with:
{!! Hannoma\Larapolls\PollDrawer::draw($poll_id) !!}
If you use this command, make sure that you import the Font Awesome version 5.x in your page.
If you have categories that shall be only accessed by admins or users with permission, add your category in the protectedCategories array in the config file and give the users that you want to access this category the appertaining permission:
$user->givePermissionTo('larapolls_showPollWithCategory_{Your category goes here}');If you have not create this permission before, you may want to do this:
use Spatie\Permission\Models\Permission;
$permission = Permission::create(['name' => 'larapolls_showPollWithCategory_{Your category goes here}']);
