Extending Roadiz

Add back-office entry

At first, create a controller into your theme folder, for example src/Controller/Admin/AdminController.

Example:

namespace App\Controller\Admin;

use Themes\Rozier\RozierApp;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

class AdminController extends RozierApp
{
    public function listAction(
        Request $request
    ) {
        return $this->render(
            'admin/test.html.twig',
            $this->assignation
        );
    }
}

If you look at this example you can see the class extends RozierApp class. This will enable you to “inject” your code into Rozier Back-stage DOM and Style.

Now let’s have a look to your twig template file templates/admin/test.html.twig.

{% extends '@Rozier/layout.html.twig' %}

{% block customStyles %}
<style>
    /* Custom styles here */
</style>
{% endblock %}

{% block customScripts %}
<script>
    /* Custom Scripts here */
</script>
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<section class="content-global add-test">
    <header class="content-header header-test header-test-edit">
        <h1 class="content-title test-add-title">{% trans %}Test admin{% endtrans %}</h1>
    </header>

    <article class="content content-test">
        <p>This page is created from MyTheme to show you how to extend backoffice features.</p>
    </article>
</section>
{% endblock %}

The first line is for inheriting from Rozier base template, you can notice that we explicitly choose @Rozier namespace.

The two next blocks are made for you to add some CSS or Javascript. For CSS, the block customStyle can be use to link an external file with a <link> tag, the path must be something like that {{ asset('static/css/customstyle.css', 'MyTheme') }}, or add directly some CSS with “<style>” tag. For JS, the block customScripts work as is, just link an external JS file or write your <script> tag.

Then create your own content, do not hesitate to give a look at Rozier back-stage theme Twig files to use the right DOM structure. For simple features, you wouldn’t have to extend JS nor CSS if you follow the same HTML coding style.

Linking things together

Add the route in the theme config/routes.yaml file.

In this case the route will be:

adminTestPage:
    # Setting your path behind rz-admin will activate Firewall
    path: /rz-admin/test
    defaults:
        _controller: App\Controller\Admin\AdminController::listAction

Inject your own entries in back-stage

The last thing to do is to add your new admin entry in the back-office menu.

Go to your config/packages/roadiz_rozier.yaml and add your own entries:

roadiz_rozier:
    entries:
        # ...
        customAdmin:
            name: customAdmin
            route: adminTestPage
            icon: uk-icon-cube
            roles: ~

If you want to have a category and sub-entries, just change the path at null value and create your subentries array as described in the next example:

roadiz_rozier:
    entries:
        # ...
        customAdmin:
            name: customAdmin
            route: ~
            icon: uk-icon-cube
            roles: ~
            subentries:
                customAdminPage:
                    name: 'customAdmin page'
                    route: adminTestPage
                    icon: uk-icon-cube
                    roles: ~

You can restrict buttons to users with specific roles. Just replace roles: ~ with roles: [ 'ROLE_ACCESS_NODES' ]. You can even create your own roles to take full power of Roadiz extension system.

Warning

Adding roles in roadiz_rozier.entries service will only restrict buttons display in Rozier backstage interface. To really protect your controllers from unwanted users add $this->validateAccessForRole('ROLE_ACCESS_MY_FEATURE'); at the first line of your back-ofice controller‘s actions. This will kick non-granted users from your custom back-office parts. Give a look at Rozier theme controllers to see how we use it.
