Configuration (Laravel Forum 3.x)

Configuration

The front-end uses a single config file (forum.frontend) containing two values:

• routes: Enables/disables front-end routes.
• middleware: The middleware to apply to the standard front-end routes.
• controllers: An array of controller namespaces to use for the front-end routes.
• utility_class: The namespace of the class to use for the alert(), render(), route() routes() and slugify() methods.

Views

Views are published to resources/views/vendor/forum. The simplest way to integrate the forum with your existing design is to edit the master view, remove undesired markup and make it extend your application’s main layout with @extends. Note that the master view does pull in jQuery and Bootstrap 3 by default, and includes some jQuery-based JavaScript to support some of the forum frontend features. You may wish to move it elsewhere or re-write it in your own way.
