AdminBar plugin for CakeAdmin and CakePHP
=========================================

[](#adminbar-plugin-for-cakeadmin-and-cakephp)

This plugin generates an easy-to-use admin-bar on top of your application when you are logged in as administrator.

> Note: This is a non-stable plugin for CakePHP 3.x at this time. It is currently under development and should be considered experimental.

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

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.

The recommended way to install composer packages is:

```
composer require cakemanager/cakeadmin-adminbar:dev-master

```

Now load the plugin with the command:

```
$ bin/cake plugin load -r -b AdminBar

```

The last thing you need to do is to load the `AdminBar.AdminBar`-Component using:

```
$this->loadComponent('AdminBar.AdminBar');

```

Settings
--------

[](#settings)

You can activate or deactivate the AdminBar in the settings-page in the backend.

Adding new items
----------------

[](#adding-new-items)

Adding items is done via the `Configure`-class of CakePHP. Look at this example:

```
Configure::write('AdminBar.goto_backend', [
    'on' => [
        'prefix' => ['!admin', '*'],
        'controller' => '*',
        'action' => '*',
    ],
    'label' => 'CakeAdmin Panel',
    'url' => '/admin'
]);

```

Explanation:

- `goto_backend` - The name of the item. Should be unique (because of overriding in the Configure-class).
- `on` - The `on`-key is used to validate if the item should be shown looking at the current request. See docs below.
- `label` - A string wich is the label of your item.
- `url` - A string or array to create the url. For all available options, see docs below.

### On-key

[](#on-key)

Via the `on`-key you can validate if the item should be shown.

- When using a `!` before the used key (like `'prefix' => '!admin'`), the current prefix should NOT be `admin`.
- When using a name (like `'prefix' => 'admin'`) the current prefix has to be equal to `admin`.
- When using `*` (like `'prefix' => '*'`) the current prefix can be anything.
- When you want to validate on multiple names you should use an array like `'prefix' => ['!admin', '*'],`

You can validate on `plugin`, `prefix`, `controller`, `action` and any other parameter you want to validate on. So this means when you defined a parameter `type` in your routes, you can validate on `type` by using:

```
Configure::write('AdminBar.custom_type', [
    'on' => [
        'controller' => '*',
        'action' => '*',
        'type' => 'specific'
    ],
]);

```

### Url-key

[](#url-key)

The `url`-key can be an string, or array to create an url. You can get parameters of the request using `:`:

```
Configure::write('AdminBar.read_blog', [
    'label' => 'Read Blog',
    'url' => [
        'prefix' => false,
        'plugin' => 'Cms',
        'controller' => 'Blogs',
        'action' => 'view',
        ':pass.1'
    ]
]);

```

The `:pass.1` is used to get a specific value of the request-parameters. When these are nested, use a `.` to go into them. Looking back on our `type`-example, you could use this:

```
Configure::write('AdminBar.custom_type', [
    'url' => [
        'prefix' => false,
        'plugin' => 'Cms',
        'controller' => 'Blogs',
        'action' => 'view',
        ':type'
    ]
]);

```
