Hi,
i want to work on a new theme for the system module (backoffice), for XOOPS 2.5.9.

I found "/modules/system/images/icons" to change the icon sets.
It 's easy to clone the directory transition to a new directory and changes icones in it.
Need to reload the system module to see in the icon sets list the new directory.
Ok for that

Now, i want to work on the system theme, not the icon set.
i see /modules/system/themes/ then transition, zetadigme.

My 1st idea is to clone transition to a new directory.
What should i modifiy to see "mynewtheme" in the preferences option, "Control Panel GUI For backend" ?

First, change in your new folder "mynewtheme" the name of the file "transition.php" to "mynewtheme"

Then change also the name of the class inside the file from " XoopsGuiTransition" to "XoopsGuiMynewtheme"

I want to modifiy the main admin page but i cant find which file i should open...

Is there any docs on the backoffice theme ?

Edit :

"Check templates for modifications?
If this option is enabled, modified templates will be automatically recompiled when they are displayed. You must turn this option off on a production site. to ON .

I'm afraid, there is none. The best way is probably to compare the various themes there and see the difference between them.

The "default" and the "transitions" are definitely the best there.

ok,
\modules\system\themes\mynewtheme\xotpl\xo_icons.tpl is my best friend !
Humm,
i try to group some icons by function.
icons are show by alphabetical order (name's directory : /modules/system/admin/...)

I want to group :
- Groups + users for example
- avatars / smilies / banner
-...

I can use a class like xo-index-option for that (like help/waitings contents/ new members / top poster / comments, on the top right)

Problem is here (cause for each)
<{foreach item=op from=$mod_options}>
            <
class="tooltip" href="<{$op.link}>" title="<{$op.desc}>">
                <
img src='<{$op.icon|default:"$theme_icons/icon_options.png"}>' alt="<{$op.desc}>"/>
                <
br><span><{$op.title}></span>
            </
a>
        <{/foreach}>

I should modifiy code for each tool but i dont know how.

i try for avatars :
<class="tooltip" href="<{xoAppUrl modules/system/admin.php?fct=avatars}>" title="<{$smarty.const._AM_SYSTEM_AVATARS_DESC}>">
            <
img src='<{"$theme_icons/avatar.png"|default:"$theme_icons/icon_options.png"}>'/>
            <
br><span><{$smarty.const._AM_SYSTEM_AVATARS}></span>
        </
a>


Dont know if it's the same... (same for the page, but the code is correct ?
And what about the if ($modversion['hasAdmin']) test ?

Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with the admin themes, so I'm afraid, I won't be able to help here

You might try to contact Eduardo, who developed the Transition theme.

Or you might try first to create the theme as similar to the default, and then tackle the more difficult issues, knowing that the basic structure is working.....

Sorry for my noob question...

I want to use smarty variable for my admin theme's url,

in smarty debug, i found this :
Quote:
{$xoTheme}
folderName => cockpit_by_monxoops
path => D:/web/neard/www/modules/system/theme...
url =>http://localhost/modules/system/themes/...
I try to use this smarty <{$xoTheme.url}>
but it doesnt work !

May be the answer is very short and easy...
