I’m going to build an online photo editor - Single Page Application with Vue.js + Laravel (beginner in both frameworks).
How can I disable or limit some features if user account is free, and enable that if account is premium?
For example: if I want some tools like Color picker is only available to paid user, how can I do that securely?
( Vue is frontend so I’m afraid that if the logic stand totally in javascript, user with enough knowledge can modify it by dev tools to enable paid feature )
I suggest you take a look at Laratrust. It's a fantastic package for creating roles and permissions in Laravel.
Vue is indeed the frontend, but your application's logic is still performed in PHP, via Laravel. Your controllers will determine what a user's permissions are and return the appropriate data/error accordingly. There's a lot to describe here but there's tons of great resources that do it.
Rather than describing how Vue and Laravel work together, I'd point you towards Laracasts. You can learn A LOT there off just the free videos alone, well worth the money though.

I have a web application in Laravel 7 and Vuejs2 which have some pages like home, about, cities and help. these page need to be crawled by search engines.
I have tried both ways, prerendering and server side rendering without success.
for pre-render there is only one package prerender-spa-plugin which is very old and not updated since 5 years.
server-side-rendering is also difficult because my web app is already designed and is going to production, it is hard to implement that now, and also not recommended to implement server-side-rendering because of 5 pages.
any suggestion are appreciated to make these 5 pages crawelable by search engine.
update:
my application contain other pages and components which do not need to be SE optimized, pages like user account and profiles.
Overall, I recommend the usage of Nuxt if you want something that could deliver a professional experience, on top of managing all the flexibility that you wish to have with an SSR/SSG tool.
Here is a more detailed answer regarding your currently available tools to achieve some SEO-crawlabale content: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69075962/8816585
You mentioned that you wished to keep some pages as SPA-only, this is also feasible thanks to the generate.exclude key of the configuration: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66472634/8816585
I am looking for a good system where I am able to
customize my table with custom fields without / less php development
get the data by rest api out of the box
membership area (is there a solution for directus.io, voyager, ... ) out-of-the box? (user can register and see some pages only for members) As I understand both systems are headless cms but are there a membership system already for download? Is there a better system to this?
are the system recommended for building an individual CRM System (as foundation for a php developer)? any other suggestions?
Regards

If the plan is to have the platform work as you CRM platform, then Directus would be a great fit. You can install a blank instance, and then just add the collections/fields you want (their online demo actually has an example of some CRM features):
https://demo.directus.io/admin/#/login
The only thing that Directus doesn't have, that you mentioned, is a "Public Register" feature. But this could be a single custom page page that you build that adds users through the API. Also, Public User Registration is on their roadmap.
I need to add a custom element/mini-app/extension to CRM Dynamics sales such that it shows globally on all pages that the user navigates to and also can navigate the users urls when certain events happen.
What options exactly do I have to satisfy the above criteria?
The screenshot below shows a sample area that I need to build the app within as an example.
Id imagine there are many use cases where customizing a global element is worthwhile, especially since custom applications may need to be built.
I understand I can use the Resources to create a SPA such as angular which is running so long as the URL stays at the SPA url. But for our use case, we are looking to allow end users to be able to navigate the CRM using the custom controls. but when something happens in a another subsystem, we need end users who are logged into the CRM to instantly view data that is important to them.
Is this technically possible?
Unfortunately this is not feasible. There are some concepts to show learning path like that. It won’t satisfy your need.
I understand what you need, like a news feed or ad rotator for rolling content but context specific flyout area which is always pinned. There is no OOB option or customization/configuration available for achieving this. You can initiate this concept in Dynamics Ideas.
Like you said there can be a HTML web resource developed & embedded in a dashboard, this is very limited for your requirement.
Edit:
I think you are looking for Channel Integration Framework which will help you to configure third party CTI apps.
In CRM V9, they have introduced a new API call for 'Panel'. This panel loads to the side of the screen, and can display content regardless of where the user moves throughout the entire application. I've played around with it a bit for my own person reasons at work, but it looks to be exactly what you're looking for.
The call is 'Xrm.Panel.loadPanel(URL/WebResource)'
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/clientapi/reference/xrm-panel
However, the feature is currently in development, and should only be used in production at your own risk.
This question has been bugging me for quite some time now, I want to create a cms, a School Mnagement System to be more specific, and what matters to me the most, is making this system plugin based, in a way that administrators can download and install plugins right through their admin panel, just like wordpress.
Now I've read about wordpress Hooks, Actions and Filters, and in all honesty i can say i'm just a little familiar with their functionality, but to apply same functionality to a Laravel App... , It's a bit hard to figure out, at least for me.
I've also searched about this question and found out that almost everyone is suggesting packages, But while packages can work great for other developers wanting to get use of the package's functionality, they can't be easily installed by a user not familiar with any programming language, And that's exactly what i want in my application.
Now what i have in my mind so far, as in Wordpress Actions and Filters, almost everything one would want to use in Wordpress theme files ( to make that piece of code flexible for adding plugin functionality ) should be called as functions, and calling that function by Wordpress do_action() is kind of a must-take path, which of course makes sense.
This way plugin developers can just call add_action() / add_filter() in their files and put their plugins into the flow of the application.
So...
Basically what I'm asking here is:
How to apply such functionality to a laravel app?
Is there an easier way than calling everything by a function like do_action()?
Should i write some kind of a file management module for downloading and updating plugins?
Again I must say that I am not very familiar with wordpress ways to achieve this kind of functionality, So I may be wrong about some of the description I mentioned above, But please, I appreciate any clarification around this subject if you can.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
*P.S. I've tried to be as clear as I possibly can about the problem, And I'm not looking for any specific method for the system I`m developing.
What i want is to know Common / Best methods ( If there is a best method ) for achieving such functionality, preferably in Laravel, but a general algorithm would still be very appreciated.
I know lots of people have the same question and are tackling with the same issue, so if you even only provide a link to a useful article it would be great.*
I have been working as a Wordpress Developer for a very long time and I also have sufficient experience in Laravel... and to be honest, making this kind of functionality is not that difficult at all.
How?
First of all, you must understand that the web app that you will be making will have all the functionalities, but they can only be enabled/disabled from the front-end (Admin Panel/Dashboard). In other words, your School Management System app is actually having all the features/functionalities pre-installed, but you are just allowing the users to enable/disable it. This is much simpler.
So, if for eg. you want to provide someone attendance management functionality, you will have to give the admin of the site, the access to enable/disable it.
Why?
Wordpress has a built-in UI for adding/updating plugins. But in Laravel, everything is code based and therefore this I believe is the simplest way to go (especially for making things in your app pluggable).
Steps
Make a site with UI etc...
Create a config and migration file which will have the names of all the plugins you are going to allow the user to enable/disable.
Make a sync command that will sync all the plugins in your app.
Use it render a page from the front-end and manage their status from the back-end (is_active etc etc...)
Now once, these plugins are active, make sure the user (say moderator, editor) has access to manage them, for which you will obviously have to create roles/permissions and use Laravel Policies for such stuff.
Lastly, only the admin will have the enabling/disabling writes and no one else.
For the other part where you want the people to perform their own functions with filters/actions. I'd say this is completely contradictory to the part where you say Installing Laravel Packages isn't easy. Well, if you would really want a developer a way into this, why not straight away ask them to make a package for your app alone? Hmmmm.... Think about it :)
But, even then, if you would like to create such a functionality, create a simple class which the user can call and user its functions to call their own functions... Something like -> SMSPlugin::do_action(). But then again, making things like updating/deleting the plugin will require you to build your own Plugin Store and ask users to upload to it. Then you'll have to make an API to constantly check for updates for all the installed plugins and blah blah.... It's a really long procedure... And I don't believe that feasible too!
Hope I answered everything. Let me know in the comments if you have any doubts :)
I know it was 2 years ago, but for now you can achieve this with laravel with some packages:
So i think the steps will be:
Create new Laravel App and add some packages for BASIC admin UI and things you will need like:
Authentication (https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/authentication)
Roles and Permissions (https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission)
Users managment
Modules (https://nwidart.com/laravel-modules/v4/introduction)
At this point you must configure and write a UI for manage every thing from every package mentioned.
So i think this is the way or at least some try to do it in 2019 :D
Happy new year to all!
There's a package for this, it supports version 5, didn't test yet with 6:

I'm starting a new project with codeigniter, and I'd like to start on a system that's already built so I can reduce the time of development.
Is there a good system that handles user authentication along with an admin interface to manage users that can be easily expanded to a web-app?
If this is too vague, I can expand
This thread here appears to have some answers
But the question was more about libraries. Either way, implementing some of the things on that thread would save you time.
You're looking for is a Content Management System (CMS).
There are a few ones out there that use Codeigniter as a framework for their CMS.
Edit: Even if you can't find a boilerplate CMS that you like, you can google about CMS's to design a simple one of your own as there's LOTS of tutorials and information about requirements and such when you know the term CMS.
I recommend Redux Auth for CodeIgniter. It comes with an example implementation, and can easily be used to manage user authentication for your CodeIgniter site. I just implemented Beta2 with the latest version of CodeIgniter, so while it's not actively updated, it still works with the latest build.
I'm using Bonfire as default admin interface.
I've just started looking into Bonfire:
Bonfire helps you build CodeIgniter-based PHP web applications even faster, by providing powerful tools and a beautiful interface you won't be ashamed to show your client.
Ready to customize Admin Interface.
User Management with Role-Based Access Control.
Fully Modular codebase.
Built around HMVC.
Database backup, migration, and maintenance.
Powerful, parent/child capable theme engine.
Simple Email Queue to keep your ISP happy.
UI-based module builder.
Looks good at first glance!
