admin templates

[MVS105]

The templates in the area of administration may also be customized?

They can be, but they will be overwritten when you update your site.

I was looking at this yesterday as well, trying to see if there was a way around it, but I think without tweaking some core files (shouldn't be TOO hard) its not possible. I will take a look this week and see if there is a not overly complicated way of doing it.

So it turns out that there is a way to create admin templates, in the /admin/lib/ folder you'll see a folder called 'layout' which is the default template. Templating works the same as for standard skins.

The configuration option is available in /core/app.config.php on line 258:

Config::Set('ADMIN_SKIN', 'layout');

This is the solution.

Thank you very much

If you want to modify just that layout fine but make sure no javascript or includes are touched. And no admin templates are touched either
