Admin panel link style in main dropdown menu

[SarahBaghdadi]

The "Admin panel" link looks like plain text compared to the other buttons around it. I like how it looks, but I wonder if its not clear enough to a new user. When I first logged in, I felt like "how do I get to the admin panel".

It's actually the default AdminLTE look:

I do agree it look weird, but it doesn't fit between "my account" and "logout" without resizing the box awkwardly. It's even worst when in french locale since all the strings are longer.

Not sure how to it could be fixed. If you have any suggestions it could be merged.

Yeah we need to make it more prominent. Also, we should probably redirect people directly to the dashboard by default when they log in, if they have access.

This goes back to the "dev being able to define where a user can go after login" feature...

Ok, I've implemented this in develop. See c82c28. You can define a determineRedirectOnLogin service in your Sprinkle, which returns a callback that adds a custom UF-Redirect header to the response. This callback is automatically invoked by AccountController::login() after the user successfully logs in. I've already defined this callback in both the account and admin sprinkles (admin tries to forward to dashboard, account tries to forward to account settings). So, all a dev needs to do to change the behavior, is override this callback in their own sprinkle.

Meanwhile, on the client side of things, the pages/sign-in-or-register.js code will check for the UF-Redirect header in the response and forward to that page on success (unless a redirect was specified in the URL for the login page, in which case it will redirect to that instead).

[lcharette]

Done ! This should be better. Let me know if you have another suggestion.
