Introduction

The configuration data are in the subdir ./config/. Here are several JSON files.

  • All files named internal-*.json contain defaults and are shipped with the application. Every update will overwrite them.
  • config_servers.json - contains your server groups and servers
  • config_user.json - contain custom settings that overwrite all settings of "internal-config_default.json"

To protect the JSON files and that they are not readable in a browser there is a .htaccess file. If you disabled parsing .htaccess you should to add the DENY rules in your apache vhost config.

Custom Configuration

Introduction

All defaults are defined in the file ./config/internal-config_default.json.
To override any of the defaults you need to take the key and define it in the ./config/config_user.json
OR
use configuration -> settings to enter them.

Examples

All defaults are defined in the file ./config/config_user.json. The following examples show you, how to override a default by using the user config.
You can write the values into the json file or enter it in the web interface in Configuration -> Settings. The advantage of the webinterface is its check after saving: it checks the JSON syntax and tests the given keys.

enable / change password 

{
    "auth": {
            "user": "admin",
            "password": [md5 hash]
    },
    (...)
}

disable password 

{
    "auth": false,
    (...)
}

set values for auto reload the page 

{
    "autoreload": [
        false,
        10,
        30,
        60,
        300
    ],
    (...)
}

Language

Select an existing language

The directory lang contains the language files. You can add the filename (without extension) in in your config_user.json the following variables:

{
    "selectLang": [
        "en",
        "de",
        "[your language]"
    ],
    (...)
}

to add your language at the end of the dropdown list of available languages
and then 

{
    "lang": "[your language]",
    (...)
}

to use it as default language.


Make a translation

Each language consists of 2 files: 1 php file and 1 javascript file which are in the directory lang. Both must have the same name but different extensions.

  1. The php file conatains translated texts for my application. Make a copy of an existing php lang file. The target filename should be [2-letter-language-code].php
  2. The javascript file contains the translation for the jQuery plugin "datatables".
    Several translations you can find here. https://www.datatables.net/plug-ins/i18n/
    Create a [2-letter-language-code].js
  3. Enable your new language in the user configuration config/config_user.json to see it in your browser (see above).
  4. Hint:
    You can see internal variables with the view "dump.php". You can open it with the url parameter view=dump.php, i.e.
    http://localhost/apachestatus/?&view=dump.php
    Go to the tab $aLang to see an comparison of all translations. You see here all languages of the 'selectLang' value.

Remember to use html entities for special chars!


Enable skin

The skins are part of AdminLTE.
Have a look to the valid values of "selectSkin" - you can set another default skin with one of these values:

{
    "skin": "[your language]",
    (...)
}

example 

{
    "skin": "skin-yellow",
    (...)
}
