silverstripe-branding v2.0.0

Silverstripe CMS Branding

Just a nice little UI change for the cms.

The theme supports an UploadField in the Settings > Settings Tab > CMS Tab for a logo to be displayed in the left-hand menu of the CMS.

Thanks

Thanks to https://github.com/symbiote/silverstripe-grouped-cms-menu for some of their code for grouped menu items.

Installation

composer require ryanpotter/silverstripe-cms-theme

Configuration

You can either choose to upload a CMS logo through the Site Settings section of the CMS, or you can define it through a YML configuration like the below:

SilverStripe\SiteConfig\SiteConfig:
  cms_logo: 'mysite/images/cms_logo.png'

You can set the theme colour of the left menu by defining it through a YML configuration like the below:

SilverStripe\CMS\Controllers\CMSPagesController:
  cms_background: '#0747A6'
  cms_border_color: '#173778'
  cms_color: '#fff'
  cms_hover_background: '#093684'
  cms_active_background: '#173778'
  cms_active_color: '#fff'
  cms_drawer_background: '#0e418e'

Grouping CMS Menus

You can add menu items to a list by using adding the menu code to the menu_groups config e.g:

SilverStripe\Admin\LeftAndMain:
  menu_groups:
    Misc:
      - SilverStripe-CampaignAdmin-CampaignAdmin
      - Help
      - SilverStripe-Reports-ReportAdmin

Overriding/Adding Icons

The icons in this cms theme use Font-Awesome, to override these icons simply add the class that represents the icon you wish to display in your ModelAdmin extension. e.g:

private static $menu_icon_class = 'fa fa-pencil';

Alternatively you can set this using a YML config. e.g

SilverStripe\CMS\Controllers\CMSPagesController:
  menu_icon_class: 'fa fa-sitemap'
