Hi!

I noticed that CMSB uses a stripped down version of this template for it styling:

http://themeforest.net/item/simpla-admin-flexible-user-friendly-admin-skin/full_screen_preview/46073

There are a number of features that the full template has that I like and would be very useful.

Is it possible for me to buy and implement this template in CMSB, or would various parts of it break with future upgrades etc?

Thanks!

Paul

Hi Paul,

All of the Simpla Admin CSS can be found in cmsAdmin/3rdParty/SimplaAdmin/css. You can edit this at any time.

If you want to make CSS changes that won't be overwritten during an upgrade you can create a custom.css file in the cmsAdmin folder. You can use this file to override any css rules found in the simpla admin css.

If you want to actually incorporate new features into the template, that requires modifying the various PHP files that CMS Builder uses. You can do this if you're comfortable editing these files, but you should make a complete backup first. Also, these changes would all be overwritten during an upgrade.

Which features would you like to add to the templates? We may be able to come up with a plugin solution that can add these features for you and be upgrade friendly.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jason :)

I know the question was very similar to another one I asked a little while back so thanks for your patience ;)

I was just curious if the template would have helped at all. I love the collapsing menus, as I have A LOT of schema sections lol.

I'm going to give it a serious go with pure CSS next year sometime.
