How to add new menu items/change menu items?

In order to add, change or remove menu items from the left side navigation, simply edit in file app/Views/partials/sidebar.php. The change would reflect in all the php files automatically.

How to use pre-built layouts?

Each of the layout options is provided below with steps you would need to perform in: app/Views/partials/body.php file.

Light Sidebar

Remove data attribute data-sidebar="dark" body element to have light sidebar.

Compact Sidebar

Keep your body element with data attribute data-sidebar-size="md" E.g. <body data-sidebar-size="md"> to have compact sidebar.

Icon View Sidebar

Keep your body element with data attribute data-sidebar-size="sm" E.g. <body data-sidebar-size="sm"> to have small sidebar.

Boxed Layout

Keep your body element with data attribute data-layout-size="boxed" E.g. <body data-layout-size="boxed"> to have boxed layout.

Brand Sidebar

Keep your body element with data attribute data-sidebar="brand" E.g. <body data-sidebar="brand"> to have colored sidebar.

Scrollable Layout

Keep your body element with data attribute data-layout-scrollable="true" E.g. <body data-layout-scrollable="true"> to have scrollable layout.

Multi Language Settings

Lets add french language.

Create new file fr.json in the fr folder in the public/assets/lang folder and copy the en.json file code in this file.
Now you need to add the language in the public/assets/js/app.js file. In the function setLanguage add the "else if" condition as below and make sure to add french.jpg file.
```
    else if(lang=='fr') {
        document.getElementById("header-lang-img").src = "assets/images/flags/french.jpg";
    }
```
You can simply use in the HTML file to convert the language text just add the attribute "key" to the parent div or any HTML tag. Example: <div key="t-title">This is title.</div>

Add the below dropdown in the app/Views/partials/topbar.php file in the language dropdown.

   <!-- item-->
    <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="dropdown-item notify-item language" data-lang="fr">
        <img src="/assets/images/flags/french.jpg" alt="user-image" class="me-1" height="12"> <span class="align-middle">French</span>
    </a>

Tips

CSS: We suggest you to do not change any css files from the public/assets/css folders because to get new updates will might be break your CSS changes if any you have made. We strongly suggest you to create new custom.css file and use that instead of overwrite any theme's css files.
