This plugin adds the AdminLTE framework to CakePHP (for versions above 4.4) with a special look that I like. However, use CakeDC/Users for user management. Its installation and commissioning can be read below:

**1. Install cakephp:**

```
# composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:~4.0 teszt.loc
# cd teszt.loc

```

**- Setup database in: /config/app\_local.php:**

```
	...
    'Datasources' => [
        'default' => [
            'host' => 'localhost',
            'username' => 'username',
            'password' => 'secret',
            'database' => 'test',
    ...

```

**- Add locale to /config/app\_local.php if you want:**

```
    ...
    'App' => [
        'defaultLocale' => env('APP_DEFAULT_LOCALE', 'hu_HU'),
    ],

    'Migrations' => [
        'unsigned_primary_keys' => true,
        'column_null_default' => true,
    ],
    ...

```

**2. Install CakeDc / Users:**

```
# composer require cakedc/users

```

**3. Add to (and edit) in /src/Application.php file:**

```
        if (Configure::read('debug')) {
            Configure::write('DebugKit.forceEnable', true);
            $this->addPlugin('DebugKit');
        }

        // Load more plugins here
        // $this->addPlugin('JeffAdmin');
        $this->addPlugin(\CakeDC\Users\Plugin::class);
        // Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']);

```

**4. Create CakeDC/Users tables:**

```
# cake migrations migrate -p CakeDC/Users

```

**5. Install JeffAdmin:**

```
# composer require zsfoto/jeffadmin

```

**6.a. Change route in /config/routes.php file.**Change this:

```
$builder->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home']);

```

to:

```
$builder->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Blogs', 'action' => 'index']);

```

**6.b. Add prefixes to /config/routes.php file:**

```
    $routes->prefix('Admin', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
        $builder->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
            //$builder->setExtensions(['json', 'xml', 'xlsx']);
            $builder->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Blogs', 'action' => 'index']);
            $builder->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class);
        });
    });

    $routes->prefix('Api', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
        $builder->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
            $builder->setExtensions(['json', 'xml', 'xlsx']);
            $builder->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Blogs', 'action' => 'index']);
            $builder->fallbacks(DashedRoute::class);
        });
    });

```

**7. Add lines to end of the /config/bootstrap.php file:**

```
try {
    Configure::load('jeffadmin', 'default');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    exit($e->getMessage() . "\n");
}
Configure::write('Bake.theme', 'JeffAdmin');

```

**8. Remove chars "//" from lines start in /src/Application.php file:**

```
        if (Configure::read('debug')) {
            Configure::write('DebugKit.forceEnable', true);
            $this->addPlugin('DebugKit');
        }

        // Load more plugins here
        //$this->addPlugin('JeffAdmin');
        $this->addPlugin(\CakeDC\Users\Plugin::class);
        //Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']);

```

After when removed "//":

```
        if (Configure::read('debug')) {
            Configure::write('DebugKit.forceEnable', true);
            $this->addPlugin('DebugKit');
        }

        // Load more plugins here
        $this->addPlugin('JeffAdmin');
        $this->addPlugin(\CakeDC\Users\Plugin::class);
        Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']);

```

**9. Copy config and src dir to app root (from /vendor/zsfoto/jeffadmin/templates/toCopyToRoot/ to /) Overwrite! :**

```
# cp /vendor/zsfoto/jeffadmin/templates/toCopyToRoot/config /(app root)
# cp /vendor/zsfoto/jeffadmin/templates/toCopyToRoot/src /(app root)

```

**10. Modify MySQL users table in SQL editor (phpmyadmin or MySQL Workbench):**

```
ALTER TABLE `users` CHANGE `username` `username` VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_hungarian_ci NULL;

```

**11. Try to bake and "Enjoy it":**Create **blogs table** and create model, admin controller and template

```
# cake migrations migrate -p JeffAdmin	// Create

# cake bake model blogs
# cake bake controller blogs
# cake bake template blogs

```

Create the admin:

```
# cake bake controller blogs --prefix admin
# cake bake template blogs --prefix admin

# cake server

```

If you see the [login](http://localhost:8765/login) page, please [register](http://localhost:8765/register) a new user. Dont forget to activate in email link or directly in users table ;-) in active field (values: 0 or 1).

See more in [CakeDC](https://github.com/CakeDC/users/blob/11.next-cake4/Docs/Documentation/Installation.md) page on github.

**12. If you wanna modify the CakeDC/Users emails, move and edit: (I still have to think about it ;-))**

```
# mv /vendor/zsfoto/jeffadmin/templates/plugin/CakeDC/Users/email root)/templates/plugin/CakeDC/Users/email

```

**13. Config Sidebar menu:**Edit the /config/jeffadmin.php

**Status**

**This plugin is still in early development status, things may change suddenly, but it can be used in real projects already.**
