SB Admin from Start Bootstrap as a backend UI for Yii 2 Framework.

P2 SB Admin Theme contains AssetBundles for Yii 2.0 Framework which registers the CSS & JS files for the SB Admin 2 UI.

It declares yii2-p2y2-things as a dependancy.

¡¡ IMPORTANT !!

Version 2.0.0 of all my Yii2 add-ons marks a breaking change where I've shortened my namespaces. In P2 SB Admin Theme p2made\theme\sbAdmin\rest\of\namespace is now p2m\sbAdmin\rest\of\namespace. In the rest of my Yii2 add-ons p2made\rest\of\namespace is now p2m\rest\of\namespace.

Installation

The preferred way to install P2 SB Admin Theme is through composer. Depending on your composer installation, run one of the following commands:

composer require p2made/p2y2-sb-admin-theme "^5.0"

php composer.phar require p2made/p2y2-sb-admin-theme "^5.0"

Alternatively add:

		"p2made/p2y2-sb-admin-theme": "^5.0"

to the requires section of your composer.json file & P2 SB Admin Theme will be installed next time you run composer update.

The files are installed via Yii's recommended usage of the fxp/composer-asset-plugin.

Quick Start

Once the extension is installed, you can have a preview by reconfiguring the path mappings of the view component:

	'components' => [
		'view' => [
			'theme' => [
				'pathMap' => [
					'@app/views' => '@vendor/p2made/p2y2-sb-admin-theme/views/sb-admin-2',
				],
			],
		],
	],

This asset bundle provides sample files for layout and view (see folder views/), they are not meant to be customized directly in the vendor/ folder. If you do that, your changes will be lost next time you run composer update.

Therefore it is recommended to copy the views into your application and adjust them to your needs.

To view pages in site/pages/ you need to modify actions() in the SiteController:

	public function actions()
	{
		return [
			...
			'page' => [
				'class' => 'yii\web\ViewAction',
			],
		];
	}

And then...

P2 SB Admin Theme uses P2Y2Things which requires some Yii 2 assets to be nullified to avoid conflicts through double loading. Modify common/config/main.php with...

	'components' => [
		'assetManager' => [
			'bundles' => [
				'yii\web\JqueryAsset' => [
					'sourcePath' => null, 'js' => [],
				],
				'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset' => [
					'sourcePath' => null, 'css' => [],
				],
				'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapPluginAsset' => [
					'sourcePath' => null, 'js' => [],
				],
				'yii\jui\JuiAsset' => [
					'sourcePath' => null, 'css' => [], 'js' => [],
				],
				'\rmrevin\yii\fontawesome\AssetBundle' => [
					'sourcePath' => null, 'css' => [],
				],
			],
		],
		...
	],

Customization

Copy files from vendor/p2made/p2y2-sb-admin-theme/views-preview/sb-admin-2 (or other theme) to @app/views.
Remove the custom view configuration from your application by deleting the path mappings, if you have made them before.
Edit your views adhering to html markup http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/sb-admin-2/ & the example views.

If you want to use the layout files without modifying them, then use this slightly different modification to the path mappings that only re-maps the layouts folder:

	'components' => [
		'view' => [
			'theme' => [
				'pathMap' => [
					'@app/views/layouts' => '@vendor/p2made/p2y2-sb-admin-theme/views/sb-admin-2/layouts',
				],
			],
		],
	],

Known Issues

sample pages in site/pages/ return a 403 error when viewed in the Yii2 Advanced backend. This doesn't happen in the Yii2 Advanced frontend.

I've not been able to resolve this. It may be an issue on my development machine.
