Setting groups

Storage model

Each setting is one row in settings: key, group, type (string, boolean, json, media, …), value, and is_translatable. Translatable settings store one value per locale in the value JSON column.

// Single value
{ key: "site.name", group: "site", type: "string", value: "DM Editors" }

// Translatable
{
  key: "site.tagline",
  group: "site",
  type: "string",
  is_translatable: true,
  value: { "en": "Headless CMS", "es": "CMS sin cabeza", "hi": "हेडलेस सीएमएस" }
}

// JSON value (e.g. social links)
{
  key: "social.links",
  group: "social",
  type: "json",
  value: { twitter: "https://x.com/…", github: "https://github.com/…" }
}

Helpers

// Anywhere in the app
setting('site.name');                  // string
setting('site.name', 'My Site');       // with fallback
setting('site.tagline', null, 'es');   // explicit locale

// Eloquent
Setting::get('seo.default_title');
Setting::set('seo.default_title', 'Acme — {entry_title}');

Test email

The "Send test" button in the Email tab posts to /admin/settings/test-email. The controller crafts a basic message using current SMTP credentials and reports the success/failure inline.
