![Build status][build svg] ![License][license svg] ![Total downloads][downloads svg] , _(*1)

Installation

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer., _(*2)

The recommended way to install composer packages is:, _(*3)

composer require ciricihq/adminlte

Installing dependencies

Currently this theme uses NPM to install external dependencies such as bootstrap, fontawesome or the AdminLTE itself., _(*4)

To install all the dependencies, just run (within the plugin folder):, _(*5)

npm install && ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js

Configuration

First you need to load the plugin. To do so, edit your bootstrap.php file and add line below:, _(*6)

Plugin::load('Cirici/AdminLTE', ['bootstrap' => true]);

After that, you can easily use the AdminLTE template making your controllers extend the AdminLTE AppController:, _(*7)

use Cirici\AdminLTE\Controller\AppController as BaseController;

class MyController extends BaseController
{

}

Usage

First of, take a look to the bootstrap.php file to see what can you configure with Configure., _(*8)

To load your custom configurations you can obviously use Configure::write where you need, but the recommended way is creating a adminlte.php file under your CONFIG folder (usually /config):, _(*9)

<?php
// /config/adminlte.php
return [
    'AdminLTE' => [
        'texts' => [
            'logo' => '<b>Awesome</b>Admin'
        ]
    ]
];

Login template

A login template and layout are included too. To use them, simply render the login Template from you login method:, _(*10)

// some kind of users Controller
public function logic()
{
    // [...]
    // Your login logic

    $this->render('Cirici/AdminLTE./Admin/Users/login');
}

Menus

This plugin uses KnpMenu for managing its menus and also includes a Yaml parser so you can easily create your menus with just three lines of code and a yaml file:, _(*11)

use Cake\Event\EventManager;
use Cirici\AdminLTE\Renderer\YamlMenuParser;

EventManager::instance()->on('AdminLTE.menu.sidebar', function ($event, $menu) {
    $yaml = new YamlMenuParser($menu, 'admin_menu_sidebar.yaml');
});

With a yaml file like this one:, _(*12)

Settings:
  uri: '#'
  attributes:
    icon: gears
  children:
    Users:
      uri: /admin/users
      attributes:
        icon: users
      children:
        Add user:
          uri: /admin/users/add
          attributes:
            icon: user-plus
    Roles:
      uri: /admin/roles
      attributes:
        icon: suitcase

Currently there's only the sidebar menu bar defined in the template., _(*13)

Note that there's a special attribute icon so you can easily display FontAwesome icons on your menu. Just use the icon name and the AdminLTERenderer will do the rest., _(*14)

If you're setting menu items using php you would do something like this:, _(*15)

$posts = $menu->addChild('Posts', [
    'uri' => ['_name' => 'posts.admin.index'],
    'icon' => 'newspaper-o'
]);
$posts->addChild('Add posts', [
    'uri' => ['_name' => 'posts.admin.add'],
    'icon' => 'plus'
]);

Crumbs

Add crumbs using the BreadcrumbsHelper::add method:, _(*16)

<?php
$this->Breadcrumbs->add('Posts', '/posts');
$this->Breadcrumbs->add($yourCurrentPost->title);

View blocks

Many sections of the layout can be managed just defining some view blocks., _(*17)

For this reason, we recommend creating a custom layout which your views will extend., _(*18)

Create an admin.ctp file wherever you want, add there your custom AdminLTE view blocks, and then make your views extend that layout:, _(*19)

<?php
// src/Templates/admin.ctp
$this->start('AdminLTE.user.sidebar');
echo 'Hello ' . $this->Session->read('Auth.User.username') . '!';
$this->end('AdminLTE.user.small');

And then, in your views:, _(*20)

<?php
$this->extend('/admin');

Here are all the currently defined view blocks:, _(*21)

• subtitle
• AdminLTE.user.small
• AdminLTE.user.detail
• AdminLTE.user.sidebar
• AdminLTE.sidebar.right

Don't forget to check out the official AdminLTE repository to know how to properly define each section., _(*22)
