Customizing the style of an admin page

Assumptions

Readers are expected to have experience with Zotonic templates.

How

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

• Create a directory for your skin, for instance apps_user/zotonic_mod_skin_admin.
• Populate the module directory with src/mod_skin_admin.erl, src/mod_skin_admin.app.src file, sub directories priv/lib/css/ and priv/templates/ (see also: Directory structure).
• Put your custom CSS file (f.i. skin-admin.css) in priv/lib/css/.
• Create a template file _html_head_admin.tpl with the contents {% lib "css/skin-admin.css" %}.
• Enable the module in admin.
