hope you release a new version soon with laravel 5.8 or 6.0 …
Hey faaazma,
Thanks for writing to us.
It’s in plan but before that material css must be updated.
We are in process of all this update, the could not commit the date.
Regards,
Jack
It seems that the css are with 4500kb in total very big compared to other templates (most of them are up to 600kb) – is this usual or is there some trick for improvement?
Hey there,
Thanks for writing to us. It’s old version of material css. We are in process of updating and improvements.
You can reduce the size by eliminating not-useful elements. 4500kb is because of 3rd party libraries, but we can remove it based on requirements.
Feel free to write us in case of any query.

hello, do you have already a update for the new chrome versions… i need an bugfix for material-select, select2, datepicker and so on. thank you!
Hey ehoelzl,
It has been started. But not ready for release. There are many other issues we found with chrome new version along with jQuery.
We will be working on that. Or might be develop a complete new theme as a new version.

Mia

Hello ehoelzl,
Thanks for your support.
Our team has checked the issue. It’s general issue with Matetialcss old version. Upgrading materialcss is the best solution to this.
We are planning to upgrade the version of Materialcss. Our team is estimating time to launch new version as well as also trying for temporary solution to this issue.
I will keep update you for this.
Your support and patience are highly appreciated.
Regards, Mia
hello, did you have already a bugfix for this?
Hey,
No, not yet. So we are planning for materialcss version update.
hello again, do you have a quick workaround for me. the css will not work in chrome, or please send me the “unminimized” css? thank you
Hey Ehoelzl,
Thanks for writing to us.
The downloadable has the scss files and you can generate via gulp as well.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Regards, Mia
thanks. and yes i need a quick workaround 
maybe i found here a solution but i cant change the pickadate from your sources… https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=941910
Hey Ehoelzl,
You are great. It’s good to hear from you. What do you need from us for pickadate?
I think source do have all the things.

Regards,
Mia
what i need?
i need a bugfix or a workaround for pickadate. since chrome v.73 your pickadate will not work. if i klick in and after the mouseup event the picker will hide… so i need for that problem a simple bugfix.
Hello Ehoelzl,
Well we are planning for whole forge theme update with materialcss.
For but fix, We have started working on finding and fixing the bug but not sure how much time we need to fix it as it is not specifically issue with Forge itself.
But rest assured that our team will find the issue and provide the bug fix.
Regards,
Mia
hello do you know a date when you can publish the bugfix for chrome?
Hey Ehoelzl
Thanks for writing to us and activity participating.
As you know we have started materialcss upgradation process.
We don’t have exact timeline for completion.
But it would take at least 2 months.
However our team member is tried to fix for issue. But it is not working good.
So finally we decided to update version.
Regards, Mia
Hey Ehoelzl,
My name is Jack and I was checking for solution to this issue.
I got a solution but there are few issue with chrome v75 as well as there are few issue with UI.
https://codepen.io/DanielRuf/pen/WmMwGGThis is from Git issue. It does work upto v73.
So we are still struggling with pickadate.js used with materialcss.
We couldn’t share you ETA for this as it’s not developed by us and not externally included. It’s part of materialcss.
However we are doing our best to find out the fix.
We really appreciate your patience and support.
Regards, Jack
hello very friendly from you.. only one more question. i only have your merged scriptfiles… eg. js/all.js or /js/forge.js… so i could not find the location of pickadate.js. mhmm!?
Hey Ehoelzl,
Well it’s a part of materialize.min.js.
You can see the details for other js/css in gulpfile.js.
Regards,
Jack
im sorry, but i cant find this file. i have in public/js/all.js, app.js. forge.js forgeapp.js init.js jquery-ui.min.js signin.js and wow.min.js … please send me a link for laravel. thanks
one more thing, i have the same problem with the select2—if i klick on the box the popup will hide afer a second. same as datepicker
Hey Ehoelzl,
You can get the matetialize.js in the webpack.config.js as we have import it from node_modules.
mix.scripts([
'node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js',
'public/js/jquery-ui.min.js',
'node_modules/materialize-css/bin/materialize.js',
'public/plugins/scrollbar/perfect-scrollbar.min.js'
], 'public/js/all.js');
For select2, we have not observed any issue yet.

Hello L30N4RD01903,
We have checked and confirmed this is working.
Make sure, you have followed the document. Forge-Downloadable/html/document/laravel.html
Hope you have followed the Enable Roles & Permission and Migration and Seeding steps.
Here is our check screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hblace3owztzcmo/Screenshot%202019-02-27%20at%2011.04.22%20PM.png?dl=0Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello, I bought Forge Admin yesterday. After I download the files I need to look at the documentation but I can not load it correctly in my browser. (no css!) I guess I have to unpack (gulp?) the dist files but I have no idea how to do that? Can you help please?
thanks Robert
Hey Robert,
Thanks for writing to us.
Let me know if I understand correctly.
You want to check documentation.
To view the documentation, you never need to run Gulp. You can access it directly via .html file from below folder.Forge-Downloadable/html/document
For Gulp commands, you can refer document/getting-started.html file.
Forge-Downloadable/html/dist is generated using Gulp commands and final project output using gulp.
Main setup is Forge-Downloadable/html/src which has scss, pug and other files with which you can generate dist folder using gulp command mentioned in the documentation.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Hi , I wanted to buy this one but have a question: Can I use another package for the Roles and Permissions (such as Laravel-Auth package) instead of the one come with forge-admin ? or there will be some conflicts and inconsistency ?
Hey binmossa,
Thanks for writing to us.
We have followed the below video tutorial to handle the roles and permission.
https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5-1/episodes/16 It's basically laravel Gate::class usage, nothing more major. We have used Laravel default Auth packages. There is not additional packages used here to manage Roles-Permission.We have used Hesto Auth to handle authentication only. Hesto Auth does all settings in Kernel and make separate folder for module with relevant classes. We can do the same manually.
There are certain area that you need to changes if you don’t want to use Default Roles-Permission provided by Forge-Admin.
- Database
-.blade.php (can methods)
- Controllers – we have managed Gate::denied
All other packages for Roles-Permission are also need to used Gate::class or Policy that need to registered in Provider. It’ll be almost same.
Benefit of forge-admin is that it’s self made, customisable and flexible.
Let me know if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to assist you.
Thank you,
Mia
Hey Hexesis,
those your template supports bootstrap 4 with laravel 5.6?
Thank you
Hey LouChe,
Thanks for writing to us. Forge Admin is build based on MaterialCSSm, so it won’t support Bootstrap.
Best Regards, Jack
hello, i have some small problems with laravel 5.6… i installed with your guide, ok. default-loginmail-adress is: hexesist@gmail.com...
then if i go to /admin he could not find some files. your default svg logo file.. he is looking one step above /public… how can i fix this? in admin area also, he cant find some included files…
thank you
Hey ehoelzl,
We’re happy to assist you.
We would request to provide below details to understand issue happening at your side. This will help us for quick resolution.
1. Complete URL that that you’re using (no need to mention you actual domain). Ex: http://domain.com/admin or http://domain.com/admin
2. Screen shot of the error details.
Awaiting to hear from you.
Best Regards,
Mia
thank you, i uploaded the screen hiere: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhEdj82GIZCPwq1NmHxPZY3DFM_jcA
Hey ehoelzl,
I gotcha.
You’re using Laravel in wrong direction.
Let me brief you: 1. You could not use the public folder in this way.
2. You must need to use Laravel as Virtual Host like we do have in the live application. domain.com/admin.
- No Project Name - No public path in QueryString
3. You can go to the laravel directory. Make sure you have install composer and your project consists vendor folder.
4. Open cmd/Powershell/Terminal in the Laravel project directory and just write php artisan serve
5. You’ll be given a URL from cmd/Powershell/Terminal.
6. Use this URL to work further.
We have followed Laravel & Laracast documented standards to develop the laravel projects. That’s suggested for security purpose and need to be in this way.
Let me know, if you need any further assistance in this regards.
Best Regards,
Mia
Hey ehoelzl
We are awaiting to hear from you. Let us know if you’re still facing any difficulty with said issue.

Hey Dawerdrew,
We are happy to assist you.
Forge Admin template comes with HTML & Laravel(Starter Kit) version. However user can modify it as per their requirement.
As fas as errors/issue concern, it would be great if you could provide details with screenshots. If it’s find genuine then you can request for refund.
As per Envato Policy, once theme is downloaded – we could not approve the refund.
Just to make sure the things, team has again check the things again:
Ref:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkmhf3i5dog1whi/Laravel56-recording-01.mp4?dl=0Yes, there are two areas where we find minor issues (In Laravel version):
1. Documentation: Wrong username is mentioned

Hey Dawerdrew,
Thanks for writing to us. You are correct, we are planning to update document with new updates. But it seems that it is necessary to update on prior basis.
For Laravel 5.4, username: codigoforge@gmail.com password: 123456
For Laravel 5.6, username: hexesist@gmail.com password: 123456
It was wrongly written username for Laravel5.6 version setup.

Hello, I bought this admin template but now when I run this template on my host, I consider that this template is very and quite different from the demo that you shared in ThemeForest.
Why? Can you help me, please?
Hey Hexagoneapp,
We are happy to assist you.
Well it should never happen. 1. Does it work from your download folder? 2. Is that laravel version or HTML?
I request you to provide more details on this.

Hi! Is this admin panel ready for installation under Laravel 5.6? So I’m installing laravel, installing this panel, that’s all? I have a CMS Laravel?
Hey teleoperator,
You are correct. This admin panel is ready for installation under Laravel 5.6. You just need go to the folder in CMD/Terminal and follow the documentation commands. That’s it.
This is just laravel starter-kit with a few essential features. Refer features: http://hexesis.com/forge/
Best Regards,
Jack
So… On Laravel 5.6 installed, but! dawerdrew wrote correctly, credentials do not match our records. The manual says: “you can access laravel Forge admin templates via the URL below: http://yourdomain.com/admin Username : codigoforge@gmail.com Password: 123456 you can access Laravel5.6 Forge Admin templates via below url: http://yourdomain.com/admin Username : hexesis@gmail.com Password: 123456” Not hexesis@gmail.com, but hexesist@gmail.com. User codigoforge@gmail.com in database is missing.
Hey Teleoperator,
Thanks for writing to us.
For Laravel 5.4, username: codigoforge@gmail.com password: 123456
For Laravel 5.6, username: hexesist@gmail.com password: 123456
It was wrongly written username for Laravel5.6 version setup.
Best Regards,Mia
Hey Teleoperator,
Both Laravel setups (laravel54 & laravel56) have different users&password and database.
This is your choice which version you want to use. Difference between this two setups is Laravel version. In our Laravel 5.6 version, we have bit improved structure and fix bugs.
dawerdrew case is different from this. He might not migrate database. This may the only reason for empty database. To get rid of all steps, we have created a simple helpful Artisan Command.php artisan migrate:init
This will migrate all tables and seed entries.
You may observe that for both version we have different username for Admin user (As mentioned above).
Best Regards,
Jack
hi i installed the theme with laravel 5.6 o follow the installation steps, and the theme run but in the login page it said thta the These credentials do not match our records. i see just the admin table with the user and the user table empty i tried this way without success, i create a user admin in the user and role table without success. can you help me?
Hey Dawerdrew,
Thank you for purchasing Forge admin and writing to us.
The admin and roles table can never be the empty. We have provided artisan command to seed the database.php artisan migrate:init
Apart from this,
We have different credential for laravel 5.6 version that we have mentioned in the documentation .
Please check this and let me know if you still facing any difficulty.

I’ve asked a question roughly two months ago that you still haven’t replied to despite having ‘pushed’ it multiple times. I hereby kindly ask you to respond to this, otherwise, I’m going to write to ThemeForest in order to take the right measures. I paid for support and this is not satisfying. Not even anywhere near, which I don’t understand since your responses were very much on point as for another question I asked!
Hey epitjangrimm,
Kindly find below link, This is how your two column look like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fjrs13ox8mknon1/Screenshot%202018-02-21%2009.15.42.png?dl=0 In the first impression, it looks good. As per our understanding, this can be your query. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dl51pepawj39b6/Envato%20Issues.png?dl=0Both red and yellow rectangle are leaving spaces(padding) for the
col. You can remove this via css.
You can refer the Form Components in the below link:

Notes:- We can respond your query on envato only. Kindly post your question on Envato.

Dear epitjangrimm,
We really regret for this delay.
We never address the question asked on any other forms as we prefer Envato comments to keep the Envato Team in loop.
My Team was under impression that you were asking us to write the same answer that you have asked for bootstrap relevant classes:
Ref:You can use class right to button. Forge Admin template is not developed with Bootstrap. It’s developed with materialcss.
In the first impression, your SO question look like the same as well.
We suggest you to ask your question on Envato only to avoid any other misunderstanding. Envato has provided such a awesome comment section for this purpose and we love it.
In regards to your query, it’s customisation. This is your choice how you use the classes or components provided in the Forge Admin. We can just provide the all possible classes/properties within a on plate. But we could not assume the design requirements of each project/client. It may vary to project/client. But we have provided all possible demos/guide on Demo pages as well as in document.
As we have worked on this theme, we have good knowledge on it. We are pleased to guide/mentor you here.
Feel free to write us on envato.

Hexesis
OK, so I think i have one last question…
How do we disable the slide transition for pages?
As of now, every single page slides in from the right. How do we turn that off completely?
Hey AlanGreyjoy,
It’s suggest to have animation. But if you still want to remove it – you can remove as follow:
File name : resources/assets/sass/partials/_animations.scss
Line #24-29
.transition-main-enter {
padding-left: $left-sb-width;
/*Comment/Remove this line*/
// -webkit-transition: padding 0.2s;
}
.transition-main-leave2 {
padding-left: 0;
/*Comment/Remove this line*/
// -webkit-transition: padding 1s;
}
.transition-main-enter2 {
padding-left: $iconized-left-mr;
/*Comment/Remove this line*/
// -webkit-transition: padding 0.2s;
}
Make sure – you need to regenerate css file.
If you’re using development css (non minified) – run this command.npm run devIf you’re using production css (minified) – run this command.
npm run prod
You can cross verify with your blade template where you include –
css/admin/app.cssand webpack.mix.js.

Jack

I rated you guys 
For your instructions, does that work for the laravel install?
I commented those out, ran rpm run dev and I get an error: https://pastebin.com/JxQS0hpXAlso, there is one bug, in the laravel package, datatables, the show entries does not show a drop down.
Also, in the HTML version, the body of the page fades in. I like that a lot. I hate how the body slides in from the right.
So instead of the body sliding in to the left, it just fades in, that would be cool.
Thanks!!
So I got the animation to stop. I commented out -webkit-transition: padding 1s; inside of app.css at line .transition-main-horizontalAct
I would like to know how to use the fade in animation like you use with the html version though.
Hey AlanGreyjoy,
Thanks for ratings. We really appreciate it.
npm run devIt must work. As I see the error that you’re facing is not related to theme. Can you please try to remove node_module and reinstall the node_modules? via
npm install
It must work, I have just tried with that. Even though, if it’s not then let us know – we can generate main.css for you and share with you (Give me your email for it).
Show Entries Dropdown: In our Laravel version, we have users list, admin list, roles list, and permission list. For all this, we have used standard table(with VueJS – our custom code). We are not using Datatables here.
Slide from right: You can remove css transition effects as I have mentioned above.
Reason of this transition is two kind of left sidebar. To achieve this feature, we have variable width of body. Based on type, it will vary the width of body and leave padding in the left.
However, you can change the animation and effects here as per your requirement.
— Best Regards, Jack
Hey AlanGreyjoy,
Do you mean that loader with white background?
Hey AlanGreyjoy,
If you want to have that loader with fade transition. Just add below lines of code in our Laravel master.blade.php file.
resources/views/admin/layout/master.blade.php
Line #37
<div id="app">
<div id="preloader">
<div class="preloader-center">
<div class="dots-loader dot-circle" />
</div>
</div>
<header>
... ... ... ...
... ... ... ...
... ... ... ...
</header>
<main>
... ... ... ...
... ... ... ...
... ... ... ...
</main>
</div>
This will have exact effect as we do have in our HTML template.
— Best Regards,
Jack
