Right... I've coded my admin section such that every object, anywhere on the page, has a style associated with it. I change some settings in the database and suddenly every color, font, path in the system is different.

For instance, we host all of our clients in-house and can build a single CMS that we can integrate multiple sites into. If you don't have that luxury the key concept is to ensure that your code is reusable. Build things in such a way that you can move from one server to another, change a couple of variables and things work. Frameworks help with this type of setup a lot. Once you develop a nice login system, you can move it around to other servers without a problem and you could make modifications as needed but at least the majority of the work is done. Same goes for all of your other "modules". Building nice components also helps out a lot. You may want to recreate the interface to have the look and feel of another site, but your business logic can stay the same from site to site.

Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 2:22 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Admin Management For those of you who build sites that require a back-end administrative area, what do you commonly use for those back-end areas? In my experience and from talking with other developers, the admin areas are one of the most tedious and repetitive development tasks we encounter. I'm wondering what your experiences have been like in this area. Are there decent tools for automating the admin-building process, or do you build them by hand each time? Any input would be appreciated.
