WHY SHOULD I USE THIS TEMPLATE?
The main reason why you should use this template, because there are so many enhancements were added into this template that have not been handled by the original PHPMaker 2018 Template file.
Please note that PHPMaker 2018 uses the free AdminLTE template, but with limited features in its layout, design, and ability. For example:
– It does not include Box and Widebox Layout,
– It does not have the ability to switch from Horizontal to Vertical Layout on-the-fly,
– It does not include the Hover and/or Click menu-trigger ability,
– It does not handle Expanded and Expanded Popover Sidebar Menu,
– It does not include Overlay sidebar menu effect,
– It does not have the ability to change the Theme Settings (such as header/footer colors, sidebar color, footer color, etc) on-the-fly,
– It does not have the ability to save the changes of the theme settings,
– and many others more …
You can compare between AdminLTE and this Template via the demo above, and feel the advanced different features among them. For more information, please also see the following features below.
