Whitelabel - a full featured Admin Skin

Item Page Support

Thank you for purchasing my theme. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to start a discussion at my support forum. Thanks so much!

This Theme is a rich featured admin backend which has (nearly) all necessary client side features which is the starting point of your Content Management System (CMS)

This Theme isn't - as all other items in this category - a ready to use Content Management System. It contains a lot of client side action (Javascript) but didn't come with server side code (PHP). The purpose of this item is to provide you basic (and even more than that) features which will power your next CMS.

Here's the general filestructure of this item:

Filename Type Description
css folder contains all required styling information
elfinder folder contains the conector and php class for the fileexplorer
js folder contains all javascript. Plugins, configuration files
apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png image is used when adding webpage to the homescreen on mobile devices
doc-* html file the documentations of the whitelabel plugins
submit.php php file is used for all forms. just an example which shows all sent values
search.php php file handles the live search and returns an array of result
upload.php php file handles the file upload from the file upload fields
widget-content.php php file is used for ajax widgets. Returns html file with some time data
*.html html file all the examples for this template

 

This Theme is a fluid layout with up to 12 colums based on the 960 Grid System. It uses media queries to fit for different screen resolutions.

General Structure

<body>

    <div id="pageoptions"></div>

    <header></header>
    
    <nav></nav>

    <section id="content"></section>
    
    <footer></footer>
    
</body>

The Header

<header>
    <div id="logo">
        <a href="test.html">Logo Here</a>
    </div>

    <div id="header">
        <ul id="headernav">
            <li><ul>
                <li><a href="file.html">Title</a><span>notification</span></li>
                <li><a href="#">Submenu</a><span>4</span>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">Just</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">another</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Dropdown</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Menu</a></li>
                </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="#">Settings</a></li>
                ...
            </ul></li>
        </ul>

        <div id="searchbox">
            <form id="searchform">
                <input type="search" name="query" id="search" placeholder="Search">
            </form>
        </div>

    </div>
</header>

As you can see the header is divided into two parts: The logo and the header with the navigation and the searchfield.

The header navigation is nested in an additional list element which is necessary for the dropdown in on smaller screens. Don't use more than five navigation points.

To get a notification sign just use span tags within the anchors

The searchfield is design to attach a query string to the url on submit:

http://yourdomain.tld/whitelabelpath/?query=your+search

The Main Navigation

<nav>
    <ul id="nav">
        <li class="i_house"><a href="#"><span>Nav Menu</span></a></li>
        <li class="i_house"><a href="#"><span>Nav Menu</span></a></li>
        <li class="i_book"><a><span>Has Sub Menu</span></a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#"><span>Sub Menu</span></a></li>
                <li><a href="#"><span>Sub Menu</span></a></li>
                ....
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li class="i_house"><a><span>Nav Menu</span></a></li>
        ...
    </ul>
</nav>

The Main Navigation is wrapped within an nav tag.

The elements need the shown markup. You can define a icon within the list element.

The Content

<section id="content">

    <div class="g12">
        <h1>Headline</h1>
    </div>
    <div class="g6">
        {CONTENT GOES HERE}
    </div>
    <div class="g6">
        {CONTENT GOES HERE}
    </div>
    
</section>

The Content gets it layout with the grid system.

<footer>Copyright by revaxarts.com 2011</footer>

The Footer is just a small line beneth the content. It should contain some copyright information

This Theme is based on the 960 Grid System. It's divided into twelve fluid columns

To keep things short I changed the standard class names "grid_X" to "gX" (where X should get replaced with the actuall collumn with)

Examples:

For 3 columns use this markup:

<div class="g4">
    {CONTENT GOES HERE}
</div>
<div class="g4">
    {CONTENT GOES HERE}
</div>
<div class="g4">
    {CONTENT GOES HERE}
</div>

Two Columns with a thiner left one could look like this:


<div class="g4">
    {CONTENT GOES HERE}
</div>
<div class="g8">
    {CONTENT GOES HERE}
</div>

Please check out the 960 Grid System website for more information!

This Theme uses following third party plugins:

This theme comes with over 300 icons, all in dark and light version.

They mainly from the great iconsweet 2 set by yummygum.

Unfortunataly it's not possible to include the set within the template. So if you need more icons please contect my via my profil. I will do my best to add some more icons.

Usage

Simple add i_{iconname} to an element:

<div class="i_house"></div>

This will use the icon with the name "house".

You may have to add additional styling information on that element to display the icon properly

Check out the icons page to see all version

This Theme comes with a lot of Javascript

Every whitelabel plugin is separated into a single file.

Following third party plugins are separated into a single file:

All other plugins are togehter in the plugins.js file

The config.js

Set all your defaults within this file. These settings overwrite the default settings of each plugin

The script.js

This file contains all the plugin calls and operation. Also the stuff for the demo is included

The login.js

This file has the same purpose as the script.js file but only for the login field

The Theme requires a lot of cascading style sheets.

Here's the filestructure of the css folder:

The syte.css file within the root describes the whole layout.

The images folder contains all icons and the background pattern

The other folders are Skins which contains at least the theme.css which describes mainly the colors of the skin. Read more about theming here.

The style.css and the theme.css is divided into section:

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* {SECTIONNAME}
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------*/

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* {NEXT_SECTIONNAME}
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------*/

The ie.css file in the root of the css directory contains some extra css for IE7 and IE8 which should get modified carefully!

This Theme comes with two premade Skins:

all required information and assets for each skin is within the light (or dark) folder in the 'css' directory.

The style.css in the root of the css directory defines all styling, without any color information.

all colors come from the theme.css file within the theme directory.

The styling of third party plugins is in the theme directory as well

How to make a new skin

You can start a new skin by duplicating the 'light' folder, rename it and link it within the head tag of the html files.

The theme.css is your starting point. All optical changes should be made here

This Theme uses media queries to change appearance depending on the users screen resolution.

The layout change on follwing resolutions:

You can test different screen resolutions by resizing the browser window with a modern browser

Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this theme. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. If you have a more general question relating to the themes on ThemeForest, you might consider visiting the forums and asking your question in the "Item Discussion" section.

I put a lot of time into this project. Nevertheless some bugs could appear after the release. Please contact me in this case and I'll provide an update asap.
