 Posted: 5/29/2007, 1:57 pm Post subject: Have you redesigned your admin panel? |
 |
|
I decided to post this topic here, but it may as well also fit in another forum.
Anyway, I redesigned my phpBB admin panel a few months ago to fit the growing needs of my site, as well as the zillion add-ons I use.
I was wondering if anyone else has done this too.
Here is a screenshot: http://macgui.com/gallery/showphoto.php?pic_id=492
Here are some highlights of it:
- No frames!
- Enhanced forum stats
- user sessions tracked via absolute URL
- various utilities for managing my pseudo cron systems for avatar processing and web activation
- PlatinumSecure. Now, I won't go into detail about this, but let's just say that one needs more than just an admin account to get into my admin panel!

LOL, I was just going to do this and start it tonight actually, ironic how this topic popped up. 
So I technically haven't yet, but I plan to soon. Our clan has 5 Generals and they need an admin panel thats not so confusing lol.
So its something I plan on doing, I don't think adding new admin pages are too difficult.

Mt reasoning is absolutely the reverse of yours! I see the admin panel so much on my site, I wanted something functional as well as stream-lined.

I haven't but I've often thought about it. For something that so few people would see though I didn't feel the time investment would be worth it.

That's not the point though. I needed something that better suited my site, looks were a low priority.

I don't have the time to do this, but I think it's a nice idea. I have too many clients now to even work on my forums, no chance to start such a big change.
