Enabling and Configuring
- In the Joomla admin, go to System > Manage > Plugins.
- Search for System - Mokonyx Admin and open it.
- Enable the plugin, then toggle the features you want under the Features, Theme, and Branding tabs.
Features
Theme Switcher
Adds a floating dark / light / system theme control to the backend, wired to Joomla’s data-bs-theme so it matches the front end. Choose the default (System follows the operating-system preference) and whether the choice is shared with the front end or kept separate for the admin.
Colour Palette
Applies Mokonyx colour theming to the Atum administrator - chrome, sidebar, header, links, and accents - so the backend matches your brand.
Branding
Shows your logo and title on the administrator header and, optionally, the login screen. Set the logo and title under the Branding tab.
Accessibility Toolbar
Adds an administrator accessibility toolbar (high contrast, readable font, highlight links, pause animations, text resize), mirroring the front-end toolbar.
Font Awesome 7 in the Admin
Loads Font Awesome 7 in the backend by reusing the template’s bundled icons, so admin components can use fa-solid / fa-brands classes without a second download.
Database “Problems” Click-to-Copy Modal
On System > Maintenance > Database, each extension with schema problems shows a coloured badge (for example One Problem or 2 Problems) in the Problems column. With the Admin Extender enabled, clicking the badge opens a modal listing every problem and copies the full detail to your clipboard in one action, so you can paste the exact errors into a support request. Press Esc or Close to dismiss. Green No Problems badges are not clickable.
Administrator Analytics (Google Tracking)
Optionally mirrors your site’s Google tracking into the backend so you can measure administrator usage. On the plugin’s Analytics tab, set Track administrator to Yes (it is off by default). It reuses the Google Tag Manager / GA4 IDs already configured on the Mokonyx site template - there is no separate ID to enter, and nothing is injected if the site template has no analytics configured. Backend hits are flagged (visitor_type = admin, page_type = admin.<component>) so you can segment or exclude them in your reports. No cookie-consent banner is shown in the backend (authenticated staff). See Google Analytics and Tag Manager Integration for the full details.
Notes
- The Admin Extender installs and updates automatically with the Mokonyx package - there is no separate install step.
- If every feature is switched off, the plugin does nothing.
