I have a question about personalization of layout: what is the best way for preserve possibility of future plugin upgrade? (sorry for my bad english…)

Hi Guys,

I have taken this theme and created a plugin for symfony 1.2. It is still not a ‘theme’ the way I would like it to be but there is a bug in 1.2 that prevents overriding default theme items in 1.2. As of right now you have to copy the entire theme over. The documentation explains how it works.

The plugin, sfAdminDashPlugin (http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfAdminDashPlugin) adds some cool features such as controlling dashboard/menu items through a configuration file, even setting credentials. Still needs some work and polishing (especially the css) but I installed it successfully on several projects.

Let me know what you guys think.

Hi..
I’m still working on some projects that use Symfony 1.1, so I still don’t have enough time to upgrade this theme… As I’m myself a user of this theme, I will upgrade it as soon as I start working with 1.2, but not sure when… I’ll post it here when I get it..

Regards

Hi there,

When i first found this theme i was thrilled. I just copied it to my project and everything looked good. Unfortunatlty, 1 week later i updated to sf1.2 and the new generator is diferent. So now i don’t know what to do. I have about 4 or 5 modules with this theme working good, but still have about 20 left to do which look bad. And the sfGuardPlugin looks completely messed up as it uses the 1.2 admin generator.

Any chance you will update this please??
Or i’ll just have to remove the theme from every module i’e created and use the default css which i really didn’t want…

Congratz on the theme it looks very good.
Regards

Hi Carlos,

I tried it out of the box with 1.2 and there are some issues. 1.2 introduced an overhaul of the admin generator so I think as a consequence it broke this ‘theme’.

At this point I am not going to try and fix it but if I ever do I will let you know.

You are right though – I wish there were more actual ‘themes’ available to download.

Hi Kevin.. I didn’t test with 1.2 yet, but as it’s mostly CSS, if 1.2 admin generator didn’t change too much generated HTML, it should work fine… If you successfully implement it in 1.2, drop me a line…
