Update guide

Replace sentry with sentinel

please have a look at sentinel documentation before we start which covers installation manual aswell.

open composer.json and remove reference to sentry and add sentinel

remove sentry

"cartalyst/sentry": "dev-feature/laravel-5",

add sentinel

"cartalyst/sentinel": "2.0.*"

Replace illuminate/html with laravelcollective/html

Illuminate/html is not being updated so we are switching to laravelcollective/html

remove illuminate/html

"illuminate/html": "~5.0"

add laravelcollective/html

"laravelcollective/html": "5.1.*"

composer update

To make above changes, in your terminal hit composer update

updating service providers

we need to remove references to old packages and add references to new packages.

open config/app.php and in providers providers array,

remove

'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider',

'Cartalyst\Sentry\SentryServiceProvider',

add

Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
'Cartalyst\Sentinel\Laravel\SentinelServiceProvider',

now in aliases array

remove

'Form' => 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade',
'Html' => 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade',
'Sentry' => 'Cartalyst\Sentry\Facades\Laravel\Sentry',

add

'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
'Activation' => 'Cartalyst\Sentinel\Laravel\Facades\Activation',
'Reminder'   => 'Cartalyst\Sentinel\Laravel\Facades\Reminder',
'Sentinel'   => 'Cartalyst\Sentinel\Laravel\Facades\Sentinel',

publish config and configure model

in your command line hit

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cartalyst\Sentinel\Laravel\SentinelServiceProvider"

this will publish sentinel config file cartalyst.sentinel.php to config folder

setting up config to use our model

since we have different requirements (extra fields in users table), we need to change sentinel config to use our user Model,

to do that open config/cartalyst.sentinel.php

at line 56, find

'model' => 'Cartalyst\Sentinel\Users\EloquentUser',

replace it with

'model' => 'App\User',

Copy migration files and run migrations

In downloaded folder, you will find Sentry_Sentinel_Migration folder,

please copy files from that folder to your laravel5.1 installation

since sentry and sentinel contains some common table names... we are doing small magic with these files and finally moving all users from sentry to sentinel

run migrations

run following in terminal

php artisan migrate

move users from sentry to sentinel

run following in terminal

php artisan db:seed --class=SentinelUpdateSeeder

now all users moved to sentinel tables.
