Admin Dashboard: Changing the original default homepage

[m-bakoulis]

Hi @givanz, I wish to change the original index of the admin dashboard homepage with something simpler like a welcome message with some simple instructions since the majority of admin users have very basic roles. Can you please guide me on how replace the original default homepage of the /admin/ ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I made a simple plugin that loads a different page for each role, it has two html examples for demo and admin role, you can add other html files for each additional role.

With the latest.zip update it will work with role name.html, if you are using an older version you must rename the html files to role_id.html for example you must rename demo.html to 10.html for demo role.

admin-role-home.zip

The plugin checks if there is a html file in the plugin folder for the current role and if the current page is homepage swaps the default template with role.html

function admin() {
	Event::on('Vvveb\System\Core\View', 'compile', __CLASS__, function ($template, $htmlFile, $tplFile, $vTpl, $view) {
		
		if ($template == 'index.html') {
			$admin = Admin::current();
			if ($admin) {
				//use role name or role id which html format is available
				$role = $admin['role'] ?? $admin['role_id'] ?? 'index.html';
				$file = __DIR__ . DS . $role . '.html';
		
				//check if role html available
				if (file_exists($file)) {
					$htmlFile = $file;
				}
			}
		}

		return [$template, $htmlFile, $tplFile, $vTpl, $view];
	});
}
