Distinguish the backend for ProcessWire development instances with different colors
Status
beta
Compatibility
This module is compatible with ProcessWire 3.0
Description
The module changes the color of the top toolbar and adds a unique text next to / instead of the ProcessWire logo
there (depending on the screen size) so you can easily dinstinguish your development installations from the production
systems.
You can enable development mode by either
- enabling the option in the module settings
- setting
$config->devMode = true; in site/config.php
I suggest to use the site/config.php option since this file usually needs to be adapted for development systems
and you are less likely to accidentally ship your changes to the production system this way, unlike the module
settings option.
Change color settings and text
The colors used for the background of the menu bar, the textual indicator and its foreground color can be set in
the module's configuration.
Override settings in config.php
You can override any settings for background, foreground and dev string present in the module configuration with
entries in config.php.
The properties are:
$config->devModeBgColor$config->devModeFgColor$config->devModeDevString
Admin Theme Support
The module supports the following admin themes:
