npm ci installThis repository represents a much apreciated cummunity initiative for an alternate backend template for Joomla4! Endorsing it in now way disqualifies or degrades the existing "atum" template and the team that created it. "In matters of taste, there can be no disputes".
This project started as an initiative by Kawshar Ahmed on facebook as a community initiative that got endorsed by the Joomla production department. The inititiation post of august can be found here. Production department thought it important to communicate from the very start that this initiative was subject to the same rules and requirements as all code before accepting into core distribution. The exection being that the initiators are also responsible for support. The following sections is a verbatum copy of the initial response to the initiave as can be found in the above FB message thread.
Thank you for your design proposals!, We, the Production Team welcome every initiative of Joomlers, our user base, to contribute. In this case in the form of an alternative Back End (BE) template. Any alternative will be held to the same standards and requirements as the current template, no more, no less.
- be responsive, meaning it has to work on all screen sizes and supported browsers
- ensure AA, WCAG 2.1 compliant accessibility ( color schemes, keyboard navigation)
- ensure b/c for 3party extensions
- support all of functionality as current BE template does ( to name a few: new mediamanager, workflow, dashboards ...)
- have menus that must be "editable"/"manageable" via the menu manager
- not include no jquery or other JS-frameworks (all native ES6)
- not introduce any Backward Compatibility (BC) breaking functionality to the backend after the release of Beta J4
- provide full layout and template overrides support
- comply with coding standards
- have a maintenance plan
Staffing the project ( during both creation and maintenance) is the responsibility of the team taking the initiative. Unfortunately Production Department is short on staff for completing J4 as is. Production Department will liaise to ensure best possible communication between teams.
Production will come up with a full list that the current admin template is required to adhere to. The above is an initial list, the final list will encompass this list but not necessarily be limited to that list. The above mentioned list might be amended as the development of Joomla 4 continues.
A new/alternative template must comply with all of the set out requirements and have undergone thorough testing on all aspects. If all of the requirements are met Production intends to include it as part of the core distribution.
The moment of inclusion will be dependant on the speed of development. The release of J4 will not be postponed/delayed. In case the time-frame can not be met, inclusion could take place in a subsequent minor release (J4.1?)
Thank you for all your commitment to make Joomla 4 great!
