Yii2 theme integration

Question

I have installed Yii2 advanced application, and now I want to change backend theme. How can I do this? Is there any file where I need to tell Yii2 that use my custom theme?

Answer 1

Create a view folder in your themes/mytheme and move all view files like main.php into it and other layouts needed.

Also you can set your basic layout in the backend\config\main.php like

return [
'id' => 'app-backend',
'layout'=>'yourtheme', //your `themes/mytheme/views/` contain yourtheme.php in this case
...

Also change pathmap to

 'pathMap' => ['@app/views' => '@app/themes/mytheme/views'],
