## Introduction

**AdminLTE** is a popular open-source WebApp template for admin dashboards and control panels [cite: 1]. It is a highly responsive HTML template based on the CSS framework **Bootstrap 3** [cite: 1]. 

It utilizes all of the Bootstrap components in its design and re-styles many commonly used plugins to create a consistent design that can be used as a user interface for backend applications [cite: 1]. AdminLTE is based on a modular design, which allows it to be easily customized and built upon [cite: 1]. 

## Download and Installation

AdminLTE can be downloaded in two different versions, each appealing to different skill levels and use cases [cite: 1]:

1. **Ready to Use (Compiled)**: Compiled and ready to use in production [cite: 1]. Download this version if you don't want to customize AdminLTE's LESS files [cite: 1].
2. **Source Code**: Contains all files including the compiled CSS and LESS files [cite: 1]. Download this version if you plan on customizing the template [cite: 1]. *Requires a LESS compiler.* [cite: 1]

## Dependencies

AdminLTE relies on the following core frameworks (both are included in the downloadable package) [cite: 1]:
* [Bootstrap 3](http://getbootstrap.com) [cite: 1]
* [jQuery 1.11+](http://jquery.com/) [cite: 1]

## Layout Options & Skins

The layout consists of four major parts: the wrapper, main header, sidebar, and content wrapper [cite: 1]. 

### Layout Options
AdminLTE provides a set of options to apply to your main layout by adding specific classes to the `<body>` tag [cite: 1]:
* `fixed`: Fixed header and sidebar [cite: 1].
* `sidebar-collapse`: Collapsed sidebar upon loading [cite: 1].
* `layout-boxed`: Boxed layout that stretches only to 1250px [cite: 1].
* `layout-top-nav`: Removes the sidebar and places your links at the top navbar [cite: 1].

### Skins
Choose the skin file that you want from `dist/css/skins` and add the appropriate class to the body tag to change the template's appearance [cite: 1]:
* **Blue**: `skin-blue`, `skin-blue-light` [cite: 1]
* **Yellow**: `skin-yellow`, `skin-yellow-light` [cite: 1]
* **Green**: `skin-green`, `skin-green-light` [cite: 1]
* **Purple**: `skin-purple`, `skin-purple-light` [cite: 1]
* **Red**: `skin-red`, `skin-red-light` [cite: 1]
* **Black**: `skin-black`, `skin-black-light` [cite: 1]

## Included Components

AdminLTE uses all Bootstrap 3 components and expands upon them with its own custom UI elements [cite: 1]:
* **Main Header**: Top navigation with message, notification, and task dropdowns [cite: 1].
* **Sidebars**: 
  * Main Sidebar (Left): Contains the user panel and multi-level treeview menus [cite: 1].
  * Control Sidebar (Right): Slide-over or push-content sidebar for extra settings [cite: 1].
* **Info Boxes**: Two different styles of statistical snippet boxes (with and without progress bars) [cite: 1].
* **Box Widget**: Standard panels for displaying charts, text, or tables [cite: 1]. Supports states like **Solid**, **Collapsable**, **Removable**, and **Loading State** [cite: 1].
* **Direct Chat**: A beautiful chat interface widget with message pane and an optional contacts pane [cite: 1]. Available in multiple contextual colors (primary, success, warning, danger) [cite: 1].

## Included Plugins

AdminLTE is bundled with numerous third-party plugins styled to match the theme natively [cite: 1]:
* **Charts**: ChartJS, Flot, Morris.js, Sparkline [cite: 1]
* **Form Elements**: Bootstrap Slider, Ion Slider, Date Picker, Date Range Picker, Color Picker, Time Picker, iCheck, Input Mask [cite: 1]
* **Editors**: Bootstrap WYSIHTML5, CK Editor [cite: 1]
* **Other Tools**: DataTables, Full Calendar, jQuery UI, jQuery Knob, jVector Map, Slim Scroll, Pace [cite: 1]

* Firefox (latest) [cite: 1]
* Safari (latest) [cite: 1]
* Chrome (latest) [cite: 1]

## Third-Party Implementations

## FAQ

* **Can AdminLTE be used with WordPress?**
  AdminLTE is an HTML template that can be used for any purpose [cite: 1]. However, it is not made to be easily installed on Wordpress [cite: 1]. It will require some effort and enough knowledge of the Wordpress script to do so [cite: 1].
* **Is there an integration guide for PHP frameworks such as Yii or Symfony?**
  Short answer, no [cite: 1]. However, there are forks and tutorials around the web that provide info on how to integrate with many different frameworks [cite: 1].
