RJ CMS

A WordPress-style content management system for Laravel — an admin panel, a visual BREAD field-builder, media library, navigation menus, roles & permissions, site settings, and a public blog — installable into any Laravel 12/13 app.

composer require rjcodes/rjcms
php artisan rjcms:install

That's it. Visit /admin and sign in.

Requirements

PHP 8.3+
Laravel 12 or 13
Livewire 4

Installation

Require the package:
```
composer require rjcodes/rjcms
```
Run the installer (publishes assets + config, migrates, seeds, creates your admin):
```
php artisan rjcms:install
```
You'll be prompted for an admin email and password. Non-interactive / CI:
```
php artisan rjcms:install --admin-email="you@example.com" --admin-password="secret" --no-interaction
```
Open /admin and log in.

Want demo content to explore the BREAD builder? Add --demo:

php artisan rjcms:install --demo

The installer is idempotent — safe to re-run after upgrades.

What you get

Feature	Description
Admin panel	WordPress-style dashboard at `/admin`.
BREAD builder	Define content types and fields (text, image, relationship, repeater, …) visually — no migrations to write.
Media library	Upload, browse and pick images; inline uploads from the rich-text editor.
Menus	Drag-and-drop navigation builder, rendered via the `menu('slug')` helper.
Roles & permissions	Powered by spatie/laravel-permission, with a `super_admin` that bypasses every gate.
Settings	Typed, grouped site settings, read with the `setting('key')` helper.
Blog	Public blog with categories at `/blog`.

Configuration

Publish and edit the config if you need to:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=rjcms-config

config/rjcms.php lets you change:

prefix — mount the admin panel somewhere other than /admin.
user_model — point the CMS at your User model (it must use Spatie's HasRoles trait). Defaults to the package's own User.
super_admin_role — the all-powerful role name.
relationship_models — models exposed in the BREAD relationship picker (add your own).
register_root_redirect — set true to redirect / → the admin panel.

Upgrading

composer update rjcodes/rjcms
php artisan migrate
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=rjcms-assets --force

Customising the views

Views are namespaced rjcms::. To override any of them, publish and edit:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=rjcms-views

Published views land in resources/views/vendor/rjcms/ and take precedence.
