Smartend CMS supports importing topics or records from Excel files only.

If your data is stored in an Excel file, follow these steps:
- Click the import button and select your `.xls` or `.xlsx` file.
https://prnt.sc/37yxvvv3MvHb

- In the second step, map each field in the module to the corresponding column in your Excel file.
https://prnt.sc/6CnTratfV9Rk

- After assigning all fields, click Continueto begin importing your data.

The slider images are designed by default to function as responsive backgrounds, with the text displayed as a separate layer from the banner content.

In your case, the text is embedded within the images themselves. Because of this, I recommend setting fixed dimensions so the entire image is displayed properly.

To do this, add the following CSS code to your website via: Website Settings => Custom Code
https://prnt.sc/mfDjF2uiECEp

/* For Big Screens */
#hero, #hero .carousel-item {
  height: 600px;
}
#hero .carousel-item{
  background-size: 100% 100% !important;
  height:600px;
}

/* For Medium Screens */
@media (max-width: 1024px) {
    #hero, #hero .carousel-item {
        height: 400px;
    }
    #hero .carousel-item {
        height: 400px;
    }
}

/* For Phone Screens */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
    #hero, #hero .carousel-item {
        height: 300px;
    }
    #hero .carousel-item {
        height: 300px;
    }
}

Thanks , your support is beound my expectation. Its so quick and proper support. Thanks

I am unable to use “Attach Google Maps” from Additional Tab. When I try to add it and enter location Latitude 23.0134659 and Longitude 74.5822995 in the given format it gives error 500 Server error , when I check via debug mod it gives error in the page as shown in the attached screenshot : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tMFrB0aTRU63NIIJyw_GNGJTTqerEnsc/view?usp=sharing

Please help

Thank you for reporting the issue.
You can extract and replace this file to resolve it
https://smartend.app/updates/12.0.0/maps.blade.php.zip On this path:

/core/resources/views/dashboard/topics/tabs/maps.blade.php

Hello, and welcome and thank you for your 5-star review.
Yes, that’s correct. If you have purchased an extended license, you can use and activate Smartend CMS on unlimited domains, whether for your own websites or your clients’ websites.

The only restriction is that you are not allowed to resell or redistribute the script online.

Hello,
You can’t use /up for your custom routes because it is a reserved route that displays the status of the Laravel application/website.
If you want to use this path, you must first remove or change it in:
bootstrap/app.php
https://prnt.sc/4e7TMy3vuLOT

Hello, You’re welcome.
You can use the Import Tool to upload content directly into your site sections.
Regarding the blog: it may not work exactly as you expect. However, if you already have your blog post details in an Excel file or exported from another system, you can import them. During the second step of the import process, you’ll be able to map the appropriate columns (such as Title, Content, etc.).
Once completed, the imported content will be listed in the selected section.

Hello, You can add a custom condition to redirect the user depending on his permission group ID to the front page like if the group ID is equal to 3 and other admin users will still be on the admin dashboard normally.

        if(Auth::user()->permissions_id == 3){
            return redirect()->to("/");
        }

You can add this condition on the top of index method on

/app/Http/Controllers/Dashboard/DashboardController.php

like https://prnt.sc/baLlIsixclxG
Hope this helps. Regards

Hello,

You can follow these steps to set a video as the home banner:
1. Remove all existing home banners. (When using a video, only one banner is allowed — sliders are not supported.)
2. Go to Banner Settings and change the Home Banner type to Video: https://prnt.sc/OZHOBF-hmdlI
3. Return to Banners, add a new banner, select the Video type, and upload the video file or add the video link.

Once completed, the video will be displayed on the website like this:

Hello,
Please edit your comment and remove the purchase code from your comment, this is critical.

This error usually occurs when your website is unable to connect to the license verification server.
Please make sure of the following on your hosting server:
- cURL is enabled
- allow_url_fopen is enabled

If these functions are disabled, Smartend CMS will not be able to verify the purchase code automatically.

If the issue persists after confirming the above, please contact us directlly via email support@smartend.app and include:
- Your website URL
- Your purchase code
- CPanel or hosting login details
So we can then log and activate the license manually if needed in your website.

Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to resolving this for you.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out! The short answer is no, this feature isn’t available at the moment, and we don’t have plans to add it soon.

That said, we do have a similar idea on our roadmap: integrating AI-powered content creation. Right now, the cost of using AI models API is still quite high for many of our customers, this may be changed on the near future.

Hello, At the moment, Forms does not support adding calculations.

Hello,
Please contact our support team directly at,

and include your website URL along with your admin details so we can review your website settings and investigate the issue.

Hello again,
I’ve made some adjustments to the cache logic to improve the loading speed on Smartend CMS 12.0.0.
You can test it by extracting and overwriting the Helper file from the link below:

I would really appreciate it if you could share your feedback after testing the website with this change applied.

Hello,
Based on the error details, it appears that you upgraded your website from an older version. The new version requires two additional fields that are missing from your database, depending on the languages you are using.
To fix this, please add these two fields by running the following code in your database through phpMyAdmin.

ALTER TABLE `smartend_sections` ADD `details_en` TEXT NULL AFTER `updated_at`, ADD `details_hi` TEXT NULL AFTER `details_en`;

Regards

Thx Sir.. GooD Wrk.. God Bless U..

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out.

Short answer: Yes, Smartend CMS meets all of your requirements.

Detailed answer:
1. You will receive the project exactly as seen in the demo, with the same frontend and features. Images in the demo will be replaced with temporary placeholders, but the structure and functionality remain identical.

2. You can create users with restricted permissions for content creation. These users can either publish content automatically or submit it for review. Notifications can be enabled for every new submission.

3. No code changes are required to improve SEO. The system is fully optimized, and you only need to add content with a proper structure.

4. All data from website contacts or newsletter subscriptions is stored in the database and visible in the Contacts module on the dashboard.
You can also integrate with Mailchimp or Mailcoach if you want to manage newsletters externally.

5. New modules, such as a Careers section for job listings or any other custom idea, can be easily added.

Best regards,

Note:
Turkish translation files are also available. If you need them, please contact our support team at support@smartend.app.
These files are not included in the project by default.

Hello, and welcome.

If you want to add a simple new module in Smartend CMS with standard fields, you can create it directly from the System Modules section and add your custom fields there. You can follow the same guide in the link below, but make sure to set the module type to “Private Data”:
https://smartend.app/docs/modules-forms-management/creating-and-managing-custom-forms

If you prefer to build your new module manually, you can structure it just as you would in any Laravel application by adding your own Models, Controllers, and Views.
In this case, you have full flexibility. Below are the recommended paths for your custom work:
- Routes: /core/routes/custom.php
- Views: /core/resources/views/frontEnd/custom
- Controller: /Controllers/Custom/CustomController.php
You can also add additional controllers inside the same directory: /Controllers/Custom/
Models can be placed in the default Laravel model directory or any custom path you prefer.

Note: After adding new routes, be sure to clear and rebuild your cache so the new routes and configuration are properly loaded.
Regards

and which better for SEO : local language url or english like url?

Hello, you are welcome.
The underscore is used only when the “Slug Translation” option in the SEO settings is set to “Always Use English Characters.”

If you want the system to use dashes (“-”) instead—which is recommended—you will need to download, extract, and overwrite the following file:
http://smartend.app/updates/12.0.0/Helper.php.zip
Place the extracted file in this path:

/core/app/Helpers/Helper.php

Note: You will need to run “Repair URLs” again from SEO settings to update the URLs.
Best Regards

I purchased SmartEnd CMS from CodeCanyon, but the ZIP file I download does not contain the smartend/ directory or any Laravel CMS files. I only receive the HTML frontend demo files.

Could you please provide me with the correct CMS ZIP package, or enable the proper download on my account? https://prnt.sc/0r5ygwTCPnBM

I downloaded the item multiple times from CodeCanyon, but the ZIP file I receive does NOT contain the SmartEnd CMS (Laravel) files.

Inside the ZIP, there is:

NO app/

NO vendor/

NO routes/

NO database/

NO bootstrap/

NO artisan

core/public is empty

Only HTML frontend demo files are included.

This means the ZIP provided to my account is incorrect.

Please provide the correct SmartEnd CMS (Laravel) full installable package, or enable the correct file in my downloads.

Hello sir,
It seems you are experiencing an individual issue. Please contact us via email at support@smartend.app
and include your website information. We will upload and install the project for you.

Hello,
If you want to move the website to another domain or hosting, follow these steps:

1. Move all website files to the new domain.
2. Create the website’s MySQL database and import the existing database backup.
3. Open the /core/.env file and update the APP_URL and database connection details. If you are working on the latest version of Smartend 12, You will need also to change the LOCAL_UPLOADS_PATH to the new one.
4. Finally Clear the website cache by deleting the following files:

/core/bootstrap/cache/config.php
/core/bootstrap/cache/routes-v7.php

After completing these steps, the website should work normally on the new domain.
If you have any questions, please contact us at support@smartend.app.
Regards,

Hello, you are welcome.
Please don’t share any information here in comments. You can contact support directly via email: support@smartend.app
