========================================

sevenx\_themes\_admin\_classic is a compatibility-first, operator-friendly eZ Publish Legacy / Exponential Platform Legacy extension that introduces a controlled Admin Design switch workflow, session-aware visual behavior toggling, and classic admin ergonomics for teams that maintain long-lived editorial back offices and need predictable, reversible, low-risk UI transitions.

Project Notice
--------------

[](#project-notice)

This project is an independent extension maintained by 7x for Exponential Platform Legacy and eZ Publish Legacy deployments.

---

Project Status
--------------

[](#project-status)

sevenx\_themes\_admin\_classic is actively maintained and intended for production use where admin3 must remain the primary design while selective classic fallback behavior is required.

---

What Is sevenx\_themes\_admin\_classic?
---------------------------------------

[](#what-is-sevenx_themes_admin_classic)

The extension adds:

- A toolbar switch button in admin UI
- A module endpoint to toggle design mode in session
- A kernel override to apply session-driven DesignSettings values at runtime

Current runtime behavior:

- Classic enabled: AdditionalSiteDesignList = `admin3, admin_classic, admin`
- Classic disabled: AdditionalSiteDesignList = `admin3, admin`

SiteDesign remains `admin3`.

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Exponential Platform Legacy / eZ Publish Legacy
- Kernel overrides enabled in `config.php`
- Extension activated in `settings/override/site.ini.append.php`

---

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

[](#installation)

1. Activate extension:

```
[ExtensionSettings]
ActiveExtensions[]=sevenx_themes_admin_classic
```

2. Ensure kernel override support is enabled:

```
define( 'EZP_AUTOLOAD_ALLOW_KERNEL_OVERRIDE', true );
```

3. Regenerate autoloads:

```
php ./bin/php/ezpgenerateautoloads.php --kernel-override
```

4. Customize admin siteaccess content view preferences (required for subitems controls):

Edit your admin siteaccess file, for example:

`settings/siteaccess/korg_edit/site.ini.append.php`

Set:

```
[ContentSettings]
CachedViewPreferences[full]=admin_navigation_content=1;admin_navigation_subitems=1;admin_subitems_limit=200;admin_children_viewmode=list;admin_list_limit=1
TranslationList=
```

5. Register the toolbar tool in your active admin siteaccess (required for button visibility):

Edit for your active admin siteaccess, for example:

`settings/siteaccess/korg_edit/toolbar.ini.append.php`

Ensure these entries exist:

```
[Tool]
AvailableToolArray[]=admin_switch_design

[Toolbar_admin_developer]
Tool[]=admin_clear_cache
Tool[]=admin_switch_design
Tool[]=admin_quick_settings
```

6. Ensure role policy allows module access:

For standard admin role setups using "all modules / all functions / no limitations", no extra policy is needed.

If you use explicit module policies, grant:

```
Module: switchadmindesign
Function: switch
```

Optional (not recommended as default): omit policy checks entirely via extension `site.ini`.

`extension/sevenx_themes_admin_classic/settings/site.ini.append.php`

```
[RoleSettings]
PolicyOmitList[]=switchadmindesign
```

7. Clear caches:

```
php ./bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all
```

---

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

[](#configuration)

Configure extension settings file:

`extension/sevenx_themes_admin_classic/settings/sevenxthemesadminclassic.ini.append.php`

Important:

- Keep the extension file value as a generic example/default.
- Put deployment-specific values only in `settings/override/sevenxthemesadminclassic.ini.append.php`.

Required setting:

```
[SevenXThemesAdminClassicSettings]
SharedAdminSiteaccessName=
SwitchAdminDesignSessionVariableName=SevenXThemesAdminClassicDesignEnabled
```

---

kracker.org Deployment Note (Critical)
--------------------------------------

[](#krackerorg-deployment-note-critical)

For this deployment, the required value is:

```
SharedAdminSiteaccessName=korg_edit
```

Set this value in:

`settings/override/sevenxthemesadminclassic.ini.append.php`

If this value does not match the real admin siteaccess name, switch button text may change while template resolution behavior does not.

---

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

### Symptom: switch button toggles text but templates loaded do not change

[](#symptom-switch-button-toggles-text-but-templates-loaded-do-not-change)

Checklist:

1. Confirm `SharedAdminSiteaccessName` exactly matches active admin siteaccess.
2. Confirm extension is active in `settings/override/site.ini.append.php`.
3. Confirm kernel override autoloads were regenerated.
4. Confirm caches were cleared.
5. Confirm you are testing within the configured admin siteaccess.

### Symptom: switch endpoints work but runtime design order seems stale

[](#symptom-switch-endpoints-work-but-runtime-design-order-seems-stale)

Run:

```
php ./bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all --allow-root-user
```
