New video needed

There are a lot of introductory videos, the ones below are especially useful.

• https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-from-scratch
• https://laracasts.com/series/build-a-laravel-app-from-scratch

Creating the admin panel is not a "stand alone thing". It comes down to all your general Laravel skills.

You can use the things learnt in videos to make your own admin panel, not that hard if you think about it. Most of what you say can be found on other videos and can also be found on a Google search.

yes I know there are a lot of videos, but this is the problem, you have to watch so many things and have to start the series from scratch otherwise if you go straight to the validation for example, there are so much code in the page that it is harder to understand.

What I suggested is just making it easier for beginners like me and my friends, the same way Yii 2.0 did it, they have created the admin panel right away. So instead, it would be fantastic to follow their style(which a lot of people get attracted due to the fast start with the admin panel) and have a single video to create an admin template where we can just upload our text and images, then output it in a front end site(with pretty much no logic).

Remember, I am not speaking as a high level programmer like you, but as someone who has already watched quiet a few videos here(I paid for it) and believe that I am losing a lot of time trying to just understand the above points rather than just having a video showing us the right direction very fast so we can get going quickly in building simple websites with an 8 or 10 dollar front end template.

Remember, many of us beginners will only need text and field uploads in an admin panel and output that code in a front end as I said above(we do not need anything else), so learning far more things just to get us there is a bit discouraging.

I hope you understand(please see it as a beginner point of view).

Thanks,

Ben

Trust me, if you learn from the existing videos, you can make an admin panel within a few weeks. You can't know your way around Laravel by going straight into making an admin panel. That's just a bad way of learning and you will suffer in the long term.

There's actually a few videos on how to do an "admin panel" already.

Hi Bashy,

I was just suggesting a video mainly for imputing text and image paths in mysql and outputting right away the data without going through a full serie which would be far more practical. No worry it was only a suggestion......

Well, that would have to cover: - master page - routing - blade templates - eloquent - Forms - Auth - Image Manipulation - psr-4 - filters - repositories - binding models to routes, forms

That is too much to cover in one video, it will be long and you won't learn it from the first shot! Decoupled video are way better to start learning, topic by topic...

dang, I did not realize it was going to be so long.... Master page, routing and blade templates, I understood well. For the forms, I have created my own templates in php storm so I am also ok with that. Where I am still a bit lost is with Eloquent and the validation which is still confusing even after watching videos as they are all parts of series.

@benoit1980 all the relevant tutorials concerning the creation of the admin panel are present at laracasts. You just have to start with the basics.

I assume you are working with laravel 4. So here are videos about eloquent and validation

• https://laracasts.com/search?q=validation
• https://laracasts.com/search?q=eloquent

Hi Keevitaja, no sorry I am on Laravel 5 , I started with it. Thanks,

I have to say, the community here is great, fast replies, help anytime, it is really great, thanks all for your time.

I think the Laravel 5 From Scratch Series covers almost everything you will need. Jeffrey discusses Eloquent and the last video was about form validation. So far, the series is 2 hours long and if you already know a couple of things you can skip some of the videos.

From there on the documentation, the search function for more screencasts and this message board will be your best friends.

Thanks Cocoon :-))

Good luck developing an app on L5 :P
