Admin Theme

Admin theme is a fork of Web App Theme generator. See demo.
It aims the same goal as a main branch: to generate admin panels quickly.

Changes from main branch:

• Rails 3.1+ compatibility
• Asset pipeline integration
• Auto generation of resources
• Improved I18n support
• Only default theme included
• Kaminari for pagination (optional)
• Erb and slim template engines support

Installation

Add to your Gemfile:

gem 'admin-theme'

If you want to paginate records in admin panel also add:

gem 'kaminari'
gem 'kaminari-admin-theme'

Run bundle install

Usage

1. First time you need to setup admin-theme:

rails generate admin_theme:setup

This will generate some assets, controllers, views for admin panel and prepare routes:

create  app/views/layouts/admin.html.erb
create  app/views/admin/shared/_sidebar.html.erb
create  app/views/admin/dashboard/show.html.erb
create  app/controllers/admin/base_controller.rb
create  app/controllers/admin/dashboard_controller.rb
insert  config/routes.rb
create  app/assets/stylesheets/admin.css
create  app/assets/javascripts/admin.js

You can pass app_name option to specify the application name:

rails generate admin_theme:setup --app_name="Custom name"

After you will be able to access admin panel at localhost:3000/admin.

2. Move application stylesheets to another_dir and change application.css to not load admin-theme stylesheets:

--*= require_tree .
++*= require_tree ./another_dir

3. You can now use admin-theme resource generator to generate necessary resources in admin panel:

rails generate admin_theme:resource posts # assuming you have a model named Post

If you want to enable pagination:

rails generate admin_theme:resource posts --pagination

You can pass engine option to specify the template engine (slim or erb, the default is erb):

rails generate admin_theme:setup --engine=slim

If you want to generate resource with different name just specify the model name in the second parameter:

rails generate admin_theme:resource items post # assuming you have a model named Post

i18n

See config/locales for available translations.
You can add one by yourself in config/locales:

time:
  formats:
    admin-theme: "%d %b %Y [%H:%M]"

admin-theme:
  save: Save
  cancel: Cancel
  list: List
  edit: Edit
  new: New
  show: Show
  delete: Delete
  confirm: Are you sure?
