Customizing AppGini with dashboard

[bruceholt]

Wondering if any one knows or has managed to customize the look of their project with an admin type dashboard such as the one here: https://almsaeedstudio.com/preview and here: https://colorlib.com/polygon/gentelella/index.html. I have searched but haven't found any solutions. I am not sure which files need to be modified or where inside those files.

I think that would be layering a custom app on top of the AppGini database, rather than customizing AppGini itself. AppGini is a CRUD tool, with some application goodies added to make it a decent database-centric application builder. The tools you cite are not focused on data, but rather on interface and presentation. One excels at data management, the other at visualization. Meaning one is lacking in visualization abilities, and the other in data management.

If I wanted to spend the time on it, I would determine how to access the AppGini data manipulation and membership code, without using the UI code. With that, I would populate the various screens and widgets in one of these dashboards. The big decision would be, do I use the dashboard to write my own CRUD interface (high of time requirement), or do I limit the dashboard to a display tool and jump to AppGini for CRUD functions (low time requirement.) It would depend on my objective as to which way I'd go.

Yep, none of that helps, but maybe it puts a little more flesh around the matter.

Thanks. Maybe I should be looking at something as simple as a side menu like on this page: http://forums.appgini.com/phpbb/viewtop ... 4157#p4157
Only problem is there are that many pages that it is doing my head in trying to work out which one I should implement the code in.
