Show me how to use it

After you follow the guide bellow on getting started with django-admin-no-more-blue it should work like this:

If STATIC_THEME is False

The theme will be selected by every user and will be saved on the session

You can spot the CHANGE THEME button, don't be shy! Click it!

Let's say we change the theme to PLUM.

That's it, your theme is now purple and fine!

If STATIC_THEME is True

The select theme option will not be visible anymore and all the users will see the theme configured in settings.

As you can see, in the settings, the THEME is set to "apple".

Quick Start

• Add "no_more_blue" to your INSTALLED_APPS settings like this:

  INSTALLED_APPS = [
      ...
     'no_more_blue',
      'django.contrib.admin',
      ...
  ]

! The order is important. Place the app before the default admin app.

• In settings.py, make sure you have 'django.template.context_processors.request' added in the context_processors.

• In settings.py, at TEMPLATES section, inside 'OPTIONS', at the same level with context_processors, add:

  'libraries': {
              'themes': 'no_more_blue.templatetags.themes',
    }

TEMPLATES should look like this:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                 ...
            ],
            'libraries': {
                'themes': 'no_more_blue.templatetags.themes',

            }
        },
    },
]

• Include URLconf into your project urls.py like this:

  from no_more_blue.urls import themes_urlpatterns
  ...
  
  urlpatterns = [
      path('themes/', include(themes_urlpatterns)),
      ...
  ]

• And as a final step add STATIC_THEME and THEME variables in your settings.

  STATIC_THEME - True/False depending on whether you want the theme to be static and all the users will have the same theme.

  THEME - if the theme is static (STATIC_THEME = True) you can set which theme you want to render. Here you should set the AKA for the theme. e.g. THEME = 'plum'

List of themes:

AKA	TITLE	COLOR
base	Base Theme	Light blue
blueberry	Blueberry Theme	Blue
apple	Green Apple Theme	Green
melon	Melon Theme	Dark Green
peach	Peach Theme	Orange
plum	Plum Theme	Light Purple
grapes	Grapes Theme	Purple

• That's it! Do not forget to use collectstatic when you are not in DEBUG mode
