UAB 2024 Development

Structural issues

From the original Unified Admin Backend page:

• Following some links in the Unified Admin backend, the user ends up at a page without the UAB navigation (only the standard modules / menus, etc.)
  • Basically, all the links under the Settings in the Main Menu module should probably be also part of the UAB theme - it could be done if we add the tiki_admin class to the body element for them too and maybe based on that apply the theme for these pages.
  • Jonny suggested at avan.tech to . . .
    
    . . . take the "body" part out of the "management" pages, e.g. tiki-admin_modules.tpl and tiki-admin_modules.php and put them in include pages in the admin dirs, e.g. admin/include_admin_modules.php and templates/admin/include_admin_modules.tpl and make a list in tiki-admin of which ones are "migrated" so in UAB mode it would include the php and tpl includes just like a control panel, but in legacy-admin mode we just replace the extracted code (-+in tiki-admin_modules.tpl+- and tiki-admin_modules.php) with a require_once(...) for php and {include...} for the template...
    • luci found (a simple) way how to code it by creating a special admin layout for UAB in templates/layouts/admin/ and forcing it onto the other pages outside of tiki-admin.php control panels in lib/setup/theme.php
