How do I add existing view pages to Piranha CMS. All searches refer to existing models which I have none in my solution.
You have to add the pages through the Manager interface into the database. Pirhana wont "see" your MVC Views automagically.

When you add Identity to your ASP.NET Core applications, you can scaffold its Razor pages.
I am looking for a way to extract my views from a referenced RCL just like Identity.
I mean I want to create Area and related files (cshtml) to help developers to customize it (not a specific UI as you see in the above pic).
Do there exist any command-line tools to a way to extract Razor pages (.cshtml)?
I checked inside of a Razor class library with dotpeek there is no HTML resource, everything is class.
Any idea?
I'm probably just missing a simple trick here, but I created the Identity framework in an ASP.NET Core project, created my own fields with my own classes, ran migrations, then once confirmed it was all working with the Default UI. It was working perfectly so went to customize the Identity UI so I could better control specific pages. Trouble was, thought I'd be adventurous and select every page to customize... yes dumb I know.. Now I've got some 80 pages or something that I no longer want.
I really only want to scaffold the registration and manage data pages, if I ran the Scaffolding again will that simply create new pages or fail because the pages already exist, or will it remove any pages that I don't select? I'm loathed to try it for fear of breaking something.
Perhaps it's down to manually deleting the pages I don't want, but will that cause issues with those pages that I haven't selected to customize. Seems great there's a scaffolding option to create the pages, but removing them... it's not so obvious...
For removing unwanted Identity Pages, you could delete them directly from your solution.
For Identity Razor page, if you add scaffold pages or manually create the razor pages with the corresponding name in Identity/Pages/Account, they will replace default Identity Razor page implementation. If there is no razor pages or you delete them, it will reuse default razor page from Razor library.
When I create a web project using "ASP.NET Core Web Application" / "Web Application" (non-MVC) / "Individual User Accounts"... I get the sample project with Register and Login buttons that show their respective pages when I click on them. HOWEVER... the very weird thing is if I search for "Create a new account" which is on the register page it's not found... and more... there is no AccountController in the Identity area or anywhere... so 1) the pages aren't anywhere in my solution folder and 2) how in the world are these pages showing up?!? I've tried on two different computers now. (using Core 2.1)
As an example this link works:
<a asp-area="Identity" asp-page="/Account/Login">Login</a>
and takes me to:
https://localhost:44300/Identity/Account/Login
and yet my folder structure (both in the solution and on disk) looks like this:
ASP.NET Core 2.1 with Identity automatically includes the "Default UI". It's a Razor Pages class library that's referenced via AddDefaultIdentity in Startup, which under the hood literally calls AddDefaultUI.
If you want the actual files in your project, you need to scaffold them in. Right click your project in the solution explorer and choose Add > New Scaffolded Item... Then, click the Identity listing on the left, and then the Add button. A new window will pop allowing you to select the pages you want included, your context, etc. Configure it how you like and go.
It's also worth noting, that as long as you use AddDefaultIdentity, the default UI is still included, which means you don't actually need all the scaffolded files if you want any of them. They'll essentially function as overrides. Anything specifically included in your project will be used, while anything that's missing will be pulled from the default UI.
This also means that if you want to do something like use standard controller actions and views instead of Razor Pages, the default UI will still be active, and take precedence. You have to use AddIdentity or AddIdentityCore instead of AddDefaultIdentity if you want the default UI off completely.
ASP.NET Core 2.1 introduced Razor UI in class libraries. Identity with it's UI is in nuget package.
The nice thing about this is you can now package UI with your libraries and then expose the UI for overriding.
This post describes how to override the UI. Essentially, you add the pages you want to override to your project to /Areas/Identity/Pages.... the easiest way currently is to run the scaffolder for identity and a visual walkthrough.
As my question say, I need to create an admin panel for yii 1.x framework, also I have a custom theme I downloaded for yii 1.x. I want to integrate it such that gii CRUD when generate views theme will auto-integrate css in views.
I want the above to work only with the admin panel? Or if there's another way, it's also welcome.
There's a catch, my front end website is already completed with a different UI. It was a theme but I didn't used crud for it. I have created every thing manually to get better command on it. For admin panel I want to use CRUD.
I checked this question, creating admin panel in stackoverflow search, my problem is slightly different.
I'm attempting to customize the Piranha CMS system. I'm interested in changing the layout, setting up my own styled menu and tweaking where the content on the page shows up.
Is the intent that I modify the _Layout.cshtml file to my liking?
If there's a page in the documentation that covers this, please helpfully provide the link. :)
Piranha CMS is just a framework for content management, not a website template with widgets, themes and stuff like that :) With that said, a basic Piranha CMS project is basically a standard MVC project with two included controllers, one that loads the model for a requested page, and one that loads the model for a requested post.
This means you can do anything that you can do with any normal MVC application when it comes to styling and modification.
There exists some helpers for rendering Menus, Breadcrumbs and so on. Documentation for the helpers can found here:
http://piranhacms.org/docs/api-reference/site-helper
http://piranhacms.org/docs/api-reference/ui-helper
For the helper methods that render html there are hooks for overriding all content rendered so that you can change the standard menu to your own style of html if you need. Documentation for the hooks available can be found here:
http://piranhacms.org/docs/api-reference/hooks
Regarding what can be achieved with Page types and creating templates with different regions you can check the following pages:
http://piranhacms.org/docs/pages/page-types

I hope this helps you a bit.
