Admin theme

Post by papolypheme »

Hello everybody,

Does admin.tpl or admin.php files exist to change the skin ? The admin.css file isn't sufficient for my new skin. Can you help me ?

Thx.

Hi
I'm pretty sure I read in a previous thread that you can only edit the css at the moment. Maybe it was because it's not been 'smartified' yet. You could try a search.

Hi!

Yes, the backend is not smartified. The reason for that is portability, and easier PHP implementation. The backend is very PHP intense, and putting smarty there is quite difficult.

Plus, the forums have shown in the past that Smarty often is a problem when migrating blogs, having write permissions problems etc. Currently you could then still access the backend, because it is unrelated with Smarty.

Chances are, it will stay that way for quite some time, and that we rely on CSS for most things - or plugins that alter output.

Regards,
Garvin
