Basic Configuration

In order to change the package configuration, the configuration file should be published. So if you don't see the adminlte.php file inside the config folder, then publish the configuration file with the next command:

php artisan adminlte:install --only=config

Now, you are able to edit the config/adminlte.php file to configure the title, layout, menu, URLs etc. On the next sections, we going to review all the available configuration options. Let starts with the most basic ones.

6.1 Title

This is the default title for your admin panel, this goes into the title tag of your page. However, you can override it per page with the available title section. Optionally, you can also specify a title prefix and/or postfix.

The following config options are available:

• title: The default title.
• title_prefix: The title prefix.
• title_postfix: The title postfix.

6.2 Favicon

Favicons could be used easily. There are two different ways to do this. Take in mind that all the favicons should be placed in the public/favicons/ folder. The next two combinations determines how the favicons will be used:

• ['use_ico_only' => true, 'use_full_favicon' => false]

  Whit the previous configuration, the file public/favicons/favicon.ico will be used.

• ['use_ico_only' => false, 'use_full_favicon' => true]

  Whit the previous configuration, multiple favicon files located on the public/favicons/ folder will be used. The current code to use multiple favicons is the next one:

  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{ asset('favicons/favicon.ico') }}"/>
  <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="{{ asset('favicons/apple-icon-57x57.png') }}">
  <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="{{ asset('favicons/apple-icon-60x60.png') }}">
  <link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="{{ asset('favicons/apple-icon-72x72.png') }}">
