Dokoiko

Dokoiko is a blogging project using Laravel MVC framework. Currently working using Laravel 5.

It's free, and a nice way to share your stuff, why not ?

Features implemented

Those are the main project features :

• Articles editing and publishing (thanks to the Froala editor). Write awesome stuff !
• Pictures publishing with a navigation grid. Share your best moments !
• Comments system using Disqus.
• Video publishing using the administrator Youtube account.
• Map markers showing the administrator travels. Show where you've been !
• Visitors mail sending. Get in touch !
• Multi-administrators system, for managing the blog together #fun !

Feel free to propose new features !

Work in progress

Those features are currently in development (or planning to be) :

• Search bar. Get some stuff easily and quickly.
• Articles hashtags. Why not ?
• Better and easier personalisation features. It's open-source after all.
• NewsLetter, or RSS feed (still in discussion).
• English support. Because French is complicated.

Deployment

After cloning the depot, setup the Laravel project and it's dependencies by using the Composer Package Manager :

composer install

How to install Composer here.

Then download the other dependencies (Again ?!) by using the Node Package Manager :

sudo npm install

You can now compile the project stylesheets and moving the resources where they've to be.

gulp

Your brand new blog is now ready almost ready ! Setup your database by editing the /config/database.php file (depending of which database you use).

	'host'      => env('DB_HOST') ?: 'your server goes here',
	'database'  => env('DB_DATABASE') ?: 'database name',
	'username'  => env('DB_USERNAME') ?: 'username',
	'password'  => env('DB_PASSWORD') ?: 'password',

Finally, setup your database tables by running :

php artisan migrate
