light_admin - A minimal theme for ActiveAdmin

Design by Marie Ishihara
Gem by CapSens

Installation

• Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'light_admin', git: '[email protected]:CapSens/light_admin.git'

• And then run:

$ bundle install

• Make sure you have no other ActiveAdmin them installed before installing this gem!

Pre-requisites

• This gem requires the activeadmin gem.

Set-up

• In app/assets/javascripts/active_admin, add the line:

//= require light_admin/filters_toggle

• In app/assets/stylesheets, add the line:

@import 'light_admin/base';

• Your active_admin.scss file should look like this:
  

@import 'active_admin/mixins';
@import 'active_admin/base';
@import 'light_admin/base';

You are good to go !

Displaying a logo in the header

• Import the image of your logo in app/assets/images
• In config/initializers/active_admin.rb uncomment the following line:
  

# config.site_title_image = "logo.png"

• In place of logo.png, specify the name of your image and its extension:
  

config.site_title_image = "name_of_your_image.png"

Restart your Rails server so the changes take effect.

Displaying a logo on the login page

• Place your image in app/assets/images/devise/sessions.
• Run:

$ rails generate light_admin:new_session

• Edit the commented lines in app/views/active_admin/devise/sessions/new.html.erb

Customizing variables

• By default, variables are stored within the gem. If you want to edit them:

$ rails generate light_admin:variables

• Then you can edit the variables in the following files:
  app/assets/stylesheets/light_admin/custom_variables/_colors.scss
app/assets/stylesheets/light_admin/custom_variables/_font.scss
app/assets/stylesheets/light_admin/custom_variables/_borders.scss
app/assets/stylesheets/light_admin/custom_variables/_shadows.scss

• Then, import your changed variables in app/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.scss above the light admin base scss file, it should look like this if you have changed only colors:

@import 'active_admin/mixins';
@import 'active_admin/base';
@import 'light_admin/custom_variables/colors';
@import 'light_admin/base';

Panel with link

panel_with_link behaves the same of ActiveAdmin's panel, except that it can also display links.

• If you want to use panel_with_link, you only need to call the panel_with_link method where you need it (for example, in your show page) and define its attributes like usual with ActiveAdmin.

• Here is the code for the above screenshot:

panel_with_link t('users'), 'Voir tous', admin_users_path do
  table_for user do
    column :id
    column :email do
      link_to user.email, admin_user_path
    end 
    column :created_at
    column :updated_at
    column :first_name
    column :last_name
  end
end
