Admin Template Guidelines?

[Stefek]

Hello,

no, there is no way to style the page tree the way you want, unfortunately.
Not right know.

I hope it will one day, but for now it's not the case.

Thank you for the help.. I am having some success now in porting over a backend template, but now stuck at one more point on the pages section. See attached screenshot for reference.

Is there a way to modify the template for the data grid of the page listings?  Or do modifications to this have to happen in the /admin/pages/index.php file?

Of course, I don't really want to get into modifying the core files if at all possible!

Thanks
Phil

Hi,

the /templates/*.htt files contain the HTML code and placeholder like {PLACEHOLDER}. The placeholder will be replaced with content by PHP code loacted in the WB /admin folder. Most templates files can be linked to their corresponding PHP file (/admin/xxx/yyy.php) via it´s file name.

Example:
The template file templates/pages_modify.htt is invoked from the WB admin file /admin/pages/modify.php.
You will find the include statements in the corresponding PHP files. They should look like similar to:

Code Select Expand

$template->set_file('page', 'pages_modify.htt');

Good luck.

Ok, that's the easy part.

Can you explain how the /templates/ subfolder works? In it there are quite a few .htt files.  What role do the .htt files play? Do they overwrite the code in each of the admin directory?

For example, does /templates/pages.htt overwrite the code found in /admin/pages/index.php?

Hi,

there are now guidelines for creating backend themes (admin templates).

So copy an existing one and adapt the variables template_folder and template_name in the info.php file of the theme. After reloading the Add-ons via the WB backend you can select the new theme from the backend. Then it is up to you to adapt colors, CSS or ...

Just trying to find guidelines for building your own admin template. I don't see anything, have I missed it?

Thanks,
