Question: Canvas Integration for Existing Admin Back-end #604

Closed easterneas closed 4 years ago

easterneas commented 4 years ago

I'm not sure if it's already mentioned or not in the readme, but I think it's worth to be mentioned here.

I already built the administration back-end, and also made the basic blogging feature within it. Now if I want to migrate to Canvas, I would expect that there will be 2 back-ends (one for my administration site, and another one for Canvas).

Is there any way to integrate Canvas back-end into my existing administration sites without using iframe?

Thanks :)

If your existing backend uses the Laravel authentication, you can just use it.

Current backend on url.com/admin? Then you can change the path in the config so they are both on the admin prefix. Add a link from your current admin to the canvas page and you're done.

What @yoeriboven is correct. You could simply run the two in conjunction as they shouldn't interfere with each other.

What about back to website button? Is it implemented somewhere? Or how can I add this right now?

yoeriboven commented 4 years ago

@iatroshchenko You could fork this package and import that into your project. Then just add the button to your 'own' admin panel and build the Vue files.

The Visit Site button used to exist, but was removed when a frontend was no longer bundled with Canvas.

By only including the tools necessary to write and publish posts, everyone is free to design their frontend as they see fit or with whatever style they're integrating into. With this de-coupling, Canvas no longer "knows" about the frontend, and there isn't currently a system in place where you can pass your defined post/tag/topic routes to the package.
