Installation

Same folder structure is used with phpvms v7, so if you have a default installation for it then installing the theme will take only seconds.
Just extract the zip file at the root folder of your phpvms v7 installation and select the template from admin section.

Non Standard Installation

If you want to manually upload the files or have a modified installation of phpvms please follow the instructions below;

• Contents of public\image should be placed in your phpvms public folder.
• Contents of public\disposable should be placed in your phpvms public folder.
• Contents of resources\lang folder should be placed under your phpvms resources\lang folder.
• Contents of resources\views\layouts folder should be placed under your phpvms resources\views\layouts folder.

According to your installation, public folder may be public or public_html or something else configured via your hosting control panel.

Customization and Theme Cloning

Below you can find some details about the theme, customization of it and some minor technical info about duplication.

Theme Cloning / Theme Duplication

• Just create a new folder under your resources\views\layouts\ folder and name it MyTheme
• Copy the theme.json file from Disposable_v3 folder to this folder.
• Edit this file as below (only first two lines are shown to save space);

"name"    : "MyTheme",        // Theme Name (and also the folder name)
"extends" : "Disposable_v3",  // Here we tell Laravel that we are extending DH2 theme

• Now copy any file you want to edit/change from Disposable_v3 folder to your MyTheme folder, for example take home.blade.php
• From this moment on, if you switch to MyTheme from admin settings, this clone theme will be active and its contents will be used
• For the rest, non-modified files, Disposable_v3 theme contents will be used

Technically you can copy any number of files to your new/duplicated theme. Just keep the file names and file paths intact, editing contents of the files is up to you.

Theme Styling / Customization

• CSS, Stylesheet files are located under /public/disposable/stylesheet/ folder.

There are two stylesheet files provided with the main package, one for general usage and holds all required styles in it theme_v3.css,
Second one is for dark mode conversion and technically should hold only the items you want to change in a dark-theme theme_v3_darkmode.css

Unless really necessary for technical reasons, no hard coded style tags used in theme blades. So you can configure perrty much everything via css files.

Defining a custom default Gravatar

You can simply define your own custom default gravatar for pilots. Just edit your env.php file and add below lines to the end of it

# GRAVATAR DEFAULT
GRAVATAR_DEFAULT_AVATAR='http://your.phpvms.url.comes.here/disposable/nophoto.jpg'

Defining a custom FavIcon

Edit your duplicated app.blade.php and add below line to the head section

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{{ public_asset('/disposable/your_airline_icon_file.png') }}"/>

Customizing VA Logo images and Menu items

This can be achieved in two ways, either you need to change the image files provided in the package theme_logo.png and theme_logo_big.png or you need to edit blade files to use your own paths for your logos (preferred way)

Files holding logo definitions nav_side.blade.php , nav_top.blade.php and nav_menu.blade.php

Both SideBar and NavBar uses the same file for menu items nav_menu.blade.php

Footer Positioning and Content

As per the license, theme name should be always visible in all pages. Editing the footer is still possible but Disposable link SHOULD BE always visible.

If you need more space in footer area, kindly check theme stylesheet to add yourself some space 'cause it is really limited with a small area and always placed at the bottom.
