[Feature request] Add front-end pages and menu

[Slowchaos]

Bug report

What I did: Downloaded and installed demo per instructions. Ran all composer and artisan commands. Started site and logged in as "admin@example.com" with password "admin".

What I expected to happen: Fully functional admin panel.

What happened: Panel loads but I had no privileges. I can create page but get 404 error when navigating to it. I can not create roles, permissions, privileges, or create menu items. All return a 403 error code.

What I've already tried to fix it: Not going to try. Not my demo.

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version: Latest download of the demo package.

Having same issues on fresh install of Laravel-Backpack/Demo.

can create page but get 404 error when navigating to it

Frontend routes for pages are not defined, see here

@tabacitu – while it makes sense that PageManager doesn't define frontend routes, I think that either: a) they should be defined in the demo, or b) the open button should be disabled by default as its presence in the backend probably leads users to expect the frontend to work.

I can not create roles, permissions, privileges, or create menu items

@tabacitu Updating Laravel-Backpack/PermissionManager to ^3.12 fixes the first three things, and Laravel-Backpack/CRUD#1741 addresses the final one (menu items).

Hmm... you're right @johnpuddephatt . I think it would be best for the Demo to also "demo" the front end routing. So that the "open" button to actually work. Will do.

Thanks for pointing this out @Slowchaos !

To do:

• front end should show the menu content (basic bootstrap design)
• front end should routing should show the pages created with PageManager (basic bootstrap design)
