Customizing the style of an admin page

How to make style customizations to admin pages.

Assumptions

Readers are expected to have experience with Zotonic templates.

How

Creating a custom style for admin pages is best done using a module:

• In your site, create the directory modules if it doesn’t exist.
• Create a directory for your skin, for instance mod_skin_admin.
• Populate the module directory with the module .erl file, sub directories lib/css/ and templates/ (see also: Module structure).
• Put your custom CSS file (f.i. skin-admin.css) in lib/css/.
• Create a template file _html_head_admin.tpl with the contents {% lib "css/skin-admin.css" %}.
• Enable the module in admin.
