Free, mandatory dependency for the entire Panth Infotech extension suite on the Adobe Commerce Marketplace. Provides shared utilities, admin configuration foundation, Hyva and Luma theme detection, module registry, and the optional
ThemeBuildExecutorInterfacecontract used by 33+ premium Panth extensions for Magento 2.
Panth Core is the foundational library module that every Panth extension depends on. It consolidates shared functionality — admin menu structure, configuration UI sections, theme detection helpers, and grid data-provider fixes — into a single lightweight package. Without Core, each Panth extension would create its own admin menu and duplicate utilities. With Core installed once, all 34 Panth extensions integrate seamlessly into a unified Panth Infotech admin section.
This module is not a standalone product — you install it because another Panth extension requires it. Composer handles this automatically when you install any module from the Panth Infotech suite. It is completely free and remains free forever.

When you install multiple extensions from the same vendor on Magento 2, you typically face three problems:
- Cluttered admin sidebar — every extension creates its own top-level menu entry
- Duplicate utilities — each extension reimplements theme detection, config helpers, and shared services
- Inconsistent UX — each extension follows its own conventions for admin configuration
Panth Core solves all three by providing a single shared foundation that every Panth extension hooks into:
- One unified
Panth Infotechadmin sidebar entry - One consistent
Stores → Configuration → Panth Extensionssettings home - One shared
Panth\Core\Helper\Themefor Hyva/Luma detection - One shared
panth_modules.xmlregistry for the extensions overview page
This means whether you install 1 or 34 Panth extensions, the admin experience stays clean, fast, and consistent.
- Unified admin menu — all Panth extensions appear under a single
Panth Infotechsidebar entry - Centralized configuration — every Panth extension's settings live under
Stores → Configuration → Panth Extensions - Core Settings section — global toggles for debug mode, caching, and module status
Panth\Core\Helper\Theme— detect whether the current store is running Hyva or Luma (used by 30+ Panth extensions to switch templates)Panth\Core\ViewModel\ThemeConfig— inject theme tokens into frontend templatesPanth\Core\Api\ThemeBuildExecutorInterface— optional contract for triggering theme builds from admin
- Grid data-provider fix — patches the well-known Magento bug where
SearchResultvirtual types return null fromgetCustomAttributes()in developer mode - Cron heartbeat — lightweight cron job that records last-run timestamps for diagnostics (with admin opt-out)
- Module registry — declarative
panth_modules.xmllists every installed Panth extension for the overview page
- MEQP compliant — passes Adobe's Magento Extension Quality Program with zero severity-10 violations
- Zero dependencies on third-party libraries — uses only Magento framework classes
- Lightweight — under 50 PHP files, minimal memory footprint
- Composer-installable — no manual file copying required

Panth Core ships with sensible defaults and requires no configuration to function. The following optional settings are available at Stores → Configuration → Panth Extensions → Core Settings:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable Panth Core | Yes | Master toggle for all Panth Core functionality. Disable to bypass all Panth Core hooks. |
| Debug Mode | No | Enable verbose logging for Panth Core operations. Useful for development and troubleshooting. Should be disabled in production. |
| Enable Caching | Yes | Enable internal caching for theme detection and module registry lookups. Recommended on. |
| Cron Heartbeat | Yes | Enable the lightweight cron heartbeat for diagnostics. Disable if you do not want any cron tracking. |

use Panth\Core\Api\ThemeBuildExecutorInterface;
class MyController
{

private readonly ThemeBuildExecutorInterface $themeBuilder
) {}
public function execute()
{
$result = $this->themeBuilder->build();
// $result['success'], $result['message'], $result['output']
}
}Panth Core's theme detection logic checks multiple signals to reliably identify whether the storefront is running Hyva or Luma:
- Module check — is
Hyva_Themeenabled? - Theme path check — does the active theme's path explicitly contain a Luma marker?
- Parent theme check — does the theme's parent chain include
Hyva/default?
This multi-signal approach correctly handles edge cases like:
- Hyva child themes
- Luma child themes
- Mixed installations where Hyva module exists but a Luma theme is active
- Custom themes with non-standard parent chains
The result is cached per-request via $cachedThemeType to avoid repeated database lookups.
The etc/panth_modules.xml file declares every Panth extension installed on the store. Each Panth extension contributes its own entry through DI configuration:
<config>
<module name="Panth_AdvancedSEO" version="1.0.0">
<label>Advanced SEO</label&g
57A7
t;
<description>Enterprise-grade SEO suite</description>
<admin_url>panth_seo/dashboard/index</admin_url>
</module>
</config>The registry is consumed by the Panth Infotech admin overview page, which displays installed extensions, their versions, and links to their config sections. This gives merchants a single dashboard to see and manage all Panth extensions.
Panth Core registers a lightweight cron job (panth_core_heartbeat) that runs every hour and records the last execution timestamp. This is useful for:
- Diagnostics — confirming cron is running
- Health checks — external monitoring tools can read the timestamp
- Telemetry opt-in — anonymous module-version tracking (off by default, requires explicit admin opt-in)
To disable the heartbeat entirely, set Cron Heartbeat to No in Core Settings.
A well-known Magento bug causes admin grids to crash in developer mode when virtual types extending SearchResult return null from getCustomAttributes(). Panth Core ships a plugin (Panth\Core\Plugin\GridDataProvider) that patches this by returning an empty array instead of null.
This fix is applied silently and only affects grids that would otherwise throw errors. It does not modify any product data or alter grid behaviour in production mode.
Panth Core is the required dependency for all Panth Infotech extensions. Composer handles this automatically — when you install any Panth extension, Core is pulled in.

No. Panth Core is completely free and will remain free forever. It is the foundation library that other (paid) Panth extensions depend on.
Technically yes, but there is no practical reason to. Core only provides admin scaffolding and shared utilities — it has no standalone features.
No. Core is a thin library with no frontend output and minimal admin overhead. Theme detection and module registry lookups are cached.
No. Core only adds hooks under its own namespace (Panth\Core) and a single admin sidebar entry. It does not modify any Magento core files or override any third-party extension functionality.
Only if you uninstall every other Panth extension first. Composer will block the removal otherwise. To uninstall:
composer remove mage2kishan/module-core
bin/magento setup:upgradeYes. The full source is on GitHub at github.com/mage2sk/module-core.
Yes. All settings respect Magento's standard scope hierarchy (default → website → store view).
Yes. The module includes English translations and the codebase uses Magento's standard __() translation function for all user-facing strings, so it can be translated to any language.
