Backend Customizer for Contao Open Source CMS
=============================================

[](#backend-customizer-for-contao-open-source-cms)

With this bundle, some parameters can be set via config, whereby the back end theme of Contao will be individually styled using CSS variables and Javascript.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the bundle via Composer:

```
composer require bwein-net/contao-backend-customizer

```

Add the config parameters and clear the cache.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

In the `config/config.yml` you can add the following parameters - all parameters are empty by default:

```
# config/config.yml
bwein_backend_customizer:
    header_title: 'bwein.net'
    header_color: '#006B7A'
    header_invert: false
```

The `header_title` is shown on the left side of the back end header next to the contao logo and on the back end login form. With the `header_color` you can override the typical contao color of the back end header. The option `header_invert` inverts the color of all header elements, if you set it to `true`.

Ideally in the `config/parameters.yml` you can set the environment parameters, so that it can differentiate between the deployed webspaces.

```
# config/parameters.yml
bwein_backend_customizer:
    env_title: 'local'
    env_color: ~
    main_color: ~
```

The `env_title` is shown as badge on the back end header and login form.

You can set the following `env_title` values - and then the environment badge will be shown in the color in brackets:

- `'local'` (red)
- `'dev'` (orange)
- `'staging'` (green)
- `'prod'` (none - same as default `~`)

To override the default color for the environment badge and main container, you can set the param `env_color` and `main_color` with color values. Besides, if you use a different `env_title`, the `env_color` is mandatory to show the environment badge!

> After manipulating the configuration you first have to **clear the application cache** to adopt new parameters to the back end.
