SilverStripe Moderno Admin
==========================

[](#silverstripe-moderno-admin)

#### An extensive reskin of the SilverStripe 3.1 CMS admin interface

[](#an-extensive-reskin-of-the-silverstripe-31-cms-admin-interface)

A [SilverStripe](http://silverstripe.org) module to give the CMS a more modern, flat appearance, while endeavouring to keep with the spirit of the original look and feel.

**NOTE:** this module is for **SilverStripe v3 only** and is no longer being actively developed. For a SilverStripe v4 alternative, please consider the [SilverWare Admin](https://github.com/praxisnetau/silverware-admin) module, which is the spiritual successor to Moderno for SS4.

Requires
--------

[](#requires)

- SilverStripe 3.1 or newer, SilverStripe v4 is **not** supported

Features
--------

[](#features)

- branding settings for app name, app link, logo and loading images
- site config panel with color picker fields
- resizable site tree
- Flat, modern, minimalist look and feel
- Uses [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io) for most icons
- Extension allowing CMS menu items to use Font Awesome icons by name
- SVG SilverStripe logo
- Reskinned TinyMCE editor
- Uses the [Google Font 'Roboto'](https://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Roboto) for UI elements

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

[](#installation)

#### Composer:

[](#composer)

```
require: "praxisnetau/silverstripe-moderno-admin": "~1.1"

```

#### Manual:

[](#manual)

To install this module manually, clone or download the repo, copy it to your document root ensuring the folder is called `moderno-admin` and finally run a `/dev/build`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

#### Resizable Site Tree:

[](#resizable-site-tree)

Moderno includes a JavaScript enhancement for LeftAndMain which allows you to resize the site tree. Simply grab the right edge of the tree and drag to resize. The width is saved using a cookie and should be persisted between page refreshes and Ajax loads.

#### Font Awesome for CMS menu items:

[](#font-awesome-for-cms-menu-items)

You can now use Font Awesome icons for your CMS menu items (e.g. ModelAdmin classes) without writing your own custom CSS. To do this, [find the name of the Font Awesome icon](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet) you want to use for your class, and define the private static `$awesome_icon` on your class:

```
private static $awesome_icon = "fa-calendar";
```

You can also define icons for classes using the YAML config system, for example:

```
MyClassName:
  awesome_icon: fa-calendar

```

The `fa-` prefix for icon names is optional, and may be safely omitted.

It's a good idea to include both the regular `$menu_icon` and `$awesome_icon` attributes for compatibility, for example:

```
private static $menu_icon    = "mymodule/images/icons/calendar.png";
private static $awesome_icon = "fa-calendar";
```

Remember to `?flush` after adding `$awesome_icon` to your class to update the CMS interface.

Contribution
------------

[](#contribution)

This module started as a simple CSS file of tweaks that quickly got way out of hand. :( There is plenty of room for improvement if you felt inclined to do so!
