Administrator Panel

[adamFTW]

Okay, well basically I have my site done. You can sign the petition, view the comments and who made them and see the total amount of signatures.

I now want to add an administration panel. Where the set admin can edit the name of the site, any of the comments/names in the petition, edit the content on the homepage, sign the petition page and view comments page.

I'm new with PHP and have never done a 'panel', so I am going to need some help with doing this. Is there anybody that could help me, and keep helping me while I try to make the script?

i wish there was but i would say build your own
simple login
a editor and set the homepage in iframes
and ur petetion and what ever system in iframes to be editable

login just ask for a php code/usersystem from someone like invent
or Cj555
then ask for the code to check if signed in
then build your editing pages off of that

I'm a complete newb, that's why I am asking. I'd like someone who could sort of, 'guide' me through the process.

I could reward 3 months of VIP as well.

To make links to change middle page on homepage target the link
to the name of the iframe :) just put the Name="" Tag in the iframe code

Thanks for those.

Would anyone like to help me?

Don't use frames. You could use Ajax so when the admin edits something it shows up immediately for all users.

Okay, i'll try that whenever I get to that.

What should I start off with first?

[LegendOfNoob]

start off with ur usersystem its the base of everything

Definitely start with the user system. Develop it around a users table in the database, starting with the login. Then just develop functions to check whether a user is logged in, whether they have appropriate access to go to a certain page etc.
