Template Details

This project ports StartBootstrap's SB Admin Bootstrap 4 backend template as a frontend theme for XOOPS CMS. The theme is based on Bootstrap 4, with minimal custom styling, uses a flexbox layout, offers fixed and static navigation options, and includes a toggleable sidebar menu with clear state indication.

The theme is written in SCSS, includes built-in scripts for compiling Pug and CSS, and provides custom panel styles. It supports the XOOPS myMenus module: after installing the module, you can create menus in the menu manager, add links in the link manager, and render the menu into the left block via block settings; if myMenus is not installed, the default navigation is displayed.

Installation involves downloading the ZIP from GitHub, extracting it, placing the theme directory into XOOPS's themes folder, and then setting sbadmin4 as the default theme in the system admin's general settings. The README also notes that the template can be used for closed-site (intranet) scenarios.
