Issue regarding the admin panel
13 January 2011 at 8:24am
Hi all,
I have just discovered Silverstripe and i love the CMS in favor to ModX. I have a problem though wich i need to fix but am unsure how. All the content is made up in XML so it can be used in Flash. However because of this, i am unable to log in in the admin side because it uses the same theme. How do i change the admin theme or isn't there a way to change it?
Greets,
Kenneth

hi kenneth,
the cms/admin shouldn't be affected by changes to the theme a great deal and should remain accessible. can you describe the approach you took to switch to xml?
cheers

Thanks for the quick reply!
Well i copied the default theme, blackcandy and changed the Page.ss and map Layout > Page.ss. Also changed the map name to "xml", as that was the theme. The extension i added "blog" is hard themed, meaning that i changed the template files to reflect the theme (blog didn't have theme files so had to do it this way)
This could be miscommunication, the actual back-end of the admin is fine (/admin). The part that lets you log in, the input fields and such get screwed up because i changed it all to xml. So basically as long as i am logged in its okay but as soon as i have to log in it gets impossible due to the fact that the default them is now xml output wich doesn't give me fields or a way to log in to the admin part.
Basically what i need is for the log in part of the theme to be "normal", i don't really know how to do this (maybe could be changed in the pagecontroller?).
Hope you can help! Thanks for reading.
Greets,
Kenneth

first idea that springs to mind is a switch in the mysite/_config.php a la http://localhost/silverstripe/Security/login?output=html:
if(isset($_GET['output']) && $_GET['output'] == 'html') {
SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandyhtml');
} else {
SSViewer::set_theme('blackcandy');
}(untested)
btw: you can override templates in blog/templates by just creating files with the same name in the themes/blackcandy/templates folder. this way when you update blog you don't override your custom templates (don't forget to ?flush=all ;)

I've no idea if this will actually work, but maybe in _config.php: Security::template_main = 'PageHTML'; and then define a PageHTML.ss as your HTML version of the template?

Update on the fix, the output thingy didnt work but the pageHTML worked great
just added
Security::$template_main = 'PageHTML';
to mysite/_config.php
and after that it was just updating layout with a pageHTML and a general pageHTML.ss
thanks for the help guys!
