This is one more episode that has been requested many times. So the goal is to make a page on our backend from which we can control some aspects of our site and our theme. Luckily October CMS already has this functionality out baked in, all you have to do is configure that page and implement the data into your site or your theme.

In this video I'm going to show you how to create theme settings or even site options for your October CMS site.

October CMS - Theme Settings

This is a video I've been planning to make for some time, but never really got around to. So in this episode I'm going to show you how to add "Reorder Records" functionality to your October CMS site. A lot of people have asked me to do this video and also there have been some questions online about it, so I'm guessing a lot of people are having trouble with it.

In this episode I'm going to show you how to implement reorder records functionality on your October CMS site.

Cloudways is a service that manages your other cloud services like Digital Ocean, AWS, Linode etc. Which means that you don't have to do any heavy lifting, Cloudways will setup everything for you. Only downside is, it's specifically meant for PHP applications. But if you like October CMS that should not be a problem :). 

Now, I'm going to show you a way of deploying your OctoberCMS site with literaly one click of button after initial setup. And to do that we are going to use Github and of course Cloudways.

We have already taken a look at how you can [send email with OctoberCMS](https://watch-learn.com/making-websites-with-october-cms/making-websites-with-october-cms-part-18-creating-contact-form), but in that episode we fumbled around with Gmails SMTP service, and a lot of you reported that that approach is not the best and that it didn't always work.

So in this episode I'm going to show you how to use Mailgun service with October CMS, to make sending your emails, even from your local environment super easy.

We are also going to take a look at how to change default email templates, and how to create your own.

In this quick episode of OctoberCMS tips we are going to take a look at how you can use Mailgun to send emails from your local environment, and also where and how you can change email templates that are sent to your users.

[List Switch](https://octobercms.com/plugin/inetis-listswitch) plugin can and will expose your boolean field types in the list of your items. And not only that, it will make it easy for you to enable or disable that boolean field right from the list, so you don't have to go into the item itself.

In this quick episode we are going to take a look at List Switch plugin for OctoberCMS

First thing you have to understand is that we are not actually logging out of the application, because we were never actually logged in, we only get or remove our security JWT token. So when you remove the token you then don't have access to routes that require authentication, and then you are effectivley logged out.

In this episode I'm quickly going to show you how to logout out of your OctoberCMS, Vue and Vuex application.

Now that we got [JWT working](https://watch-learn.com/creating-rent-car-app-vue-and-october/fixing-jwt) I can show you how to handle errors that you will get from your login and registration forms. This can seem as pretty straight forward at first glance, but it's actually just a bit more complicated, because we will not get those errors in the format that is easy to display on the frontend.

So we need to take in account all possible cases and then format them to be easily handled by the frontend.

In this episode I'm going to show you how to handle login errors in our OctoberCMS, Vue and Vuex application.

Login Errors

In the [previous episode](https://watch-learn.com/creating-rent-car-app-vue-and-october/making-reservation) we had some problems with the JWT plugin that we were using. We had to install octobro api plugin to make everything work. In the past few weeks I talked to [Ricardo](https://github.com/rluders), the creator of the plugin, he was very helpfull, and we worked together (mostly him) to fix those problems.

So in this episode we are going to remove octobro api plugin, and make everything work as it's supposed to.

In this episode we are going to fix the problems that we had with JWT in the previous episode in our Vue and OctoberCMS app

Fixing JWT

In the [last episode](https://watch-learn.com/creating-rent-car-app-vue-and-october/persisting-state) we created a confirmation page for our checkout process. Now we are going to go into OctoberCMS, create a Reservation model, make relations with our Users and Vehicles and create a route that will create the actual reservation using PHP.

After that, in Vue, we are going to create methods that will send collected data to that route and make the reservation. We are also going to learn how to protect that route so that not just anybody can make that reservation. 

And unfortunately we are going to run into some trouble, but I will show you how to make it work anyways.

You will need [this plugin](https://github.com/octobroid/oc-api-plugin) to make everything work.

In this episode we are going to finish the checkout process and and make reservation in our OctoberCMS, Vue and Vuex application.
