Upgrade from 8.1.9 to 8.3.1
I download the latest metronic 8.3.1 for laravel, I notice some function is missing
e.g this is 8.1.9, they have config/menu.php
https://preview.keenthemes.com/metronic8/laravel/documentation/getting-started/changelog?demo=demo1
and latest documentation, a lot CRUD, helper and function is missing?
https://preview.keenthemes.com/laravel/metronic/docs/index
Should I use 8.1.9 version slowly upgrade patch, or do you have one for full version of 8.3.1.
I am confuse for it
2. I tried use 8.3.1, and use npm install, the login page, validation will run 2 times, e.g Email is required. show tried. but if I use your zip public/assets/ version it is working fine.
There is no clear what version I need to use to build

Hi
Sorry for the delay in response. This 2 versions have breaking changes. The config/menu.php file doesn't exist in this version. Instead, the menu is structured differently:
1. Menu Location: The menu is defined in Blade templates at:
resources/views/layout/partials/sidebar-layout/sidebar/_menu.blade.php
2. Menu Structure: The menu uses Laravel's route-based approach with:
- Direct Blade template rendering
- Route-based active states (request()->routeIs())
- Icon helper functions (getIcon())
3. Configuration: Menu configuration is handled through:
- Bootstrap classes in app/Core/Bootstrap/BootstrapDefault.php
- Theme configuration in app/Core/Theme.php
Second issue, this is seems to be caused by conflicting JavaScript files during the build process. Here's the solution:
1. Check for duplicate script includes:
- The build process uses Laravel Mix (see webpack.mix.js)
- Check you're not including both compiled and source files
2. Clear build cache:
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
rm -rf public/assets/*
npm install
npm run dev3. Check for validation script conflicts:
- Look for duplicate jQuery validation includes
- Check only one validation library is active
- Check if both public/assets/ and source files are being loaded
Hi Faizal,
I use your method
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
rm -rf public/assets/*
npm install
npm run devdoes not work, it also happen to 8.3.1 laravel package, you can try and check, download your zip, run above command, only happen in login page.

I found out it is because
/starterkit/resources/_keenthemes/src/js/components/util.js:1580
document.addEventListener('livewire:navigated', callback);I debug in the login page, when I remove email, and move to next textbox, it show 2 error, because in
sign-in/general.js the init function call twice// Public functions
return {
// Initialization
init: function () {
...
}I am not sure it only affected sign-in or other page also will issue, please help to fix the bug.
Thanks
If I want to add own custom css, where should I add to? and it allow to compile together with `npm run prod` or `npm run dev`
e.g
```
.my-class-red{
color:red;
}
```
Hi
Recommended locations to add your custom CSS in the Laravel Metronic v8 project.
Primary Location (Recommended): Create a custom SCSS file in the components directory: resources/_keenthemes/src/metronic/demo1/sass/components/_custom.scss
Then add your custom styles:
Add this import to resources/_keenthemes/src/metronic/demo1/sass/components/components.scss at the end:
@import "custom";Alternative Location: You can also add custom styles to the existing override file:
resources/_keenthemes/src/metronic/demo1/sass/components/_variables.override.scssThe webpack.mix.js file compiles the main SCSS from resources/_keenthemes/src/metronic/demo1/sass/style.scss
This file imports components/components.scss which includes all component styles
Your custom CSS will be automatically compiled when you run:
- npm run dev (development with source maps)
- npm run prod (production build, minified)
Can anyone explain it? I am stuck at here didn't find much information about the version change. is it normal 8.3.1 or I missing something?
