Dear List,
I was wondering:
The admin GUIs are defined the same way as the mapbenderframes/divs, by
adding elements in mod_editElements.php.
How important is it that it stays this way?
As far as I know the most important aspect of the GUI approach wrt the
admin interfaces is the rights management. You can easily grant a user
access to a admin GUI just like you do with another GUI. If we were to
abandon the GUI concept for admin interfaces, a new set of management
would be needed. I'm not sure if this would make Mapbender unnecessarily
complex and bloated. I find the simple GUI concept quite intriguing.
I myself have never customised an administration GUI. We would have to
talk to people with huge installations that have sub-admins. But smehow
I have a bad feeling about removing flexibility, if there is no clear
advantage. If there is an advantage, please explain it in greater detail
to me.
I assume we can build the administration interface you suggested with
the current approach. If you see problems, please let us know.
Thanks
Christoph
It seems to me that an administrative interface that exposes all
available functionality, could be sufficient and not actually need
the amount of flexibility it has now.
The default install contains admin1, admin2 and admin_services, where admin1 is
not
really usable and admin2 and admin_services is what I am trying to prettify.
Are there installations that customize these further, other than hiding certain
parts for non-authorized users?
I am thinking, that after logging in, a user could immediately be
presented with the admin interface, instead of first chosing which one
she would like.
So I a hereby propose to take the admin interface out of the "GUI
edited" part of Mabpender, and give it, it's own page, which would
contain a GUI editor (somewhere along the lines of [1]?)
for configuring maps, but not for the administrative interface itself.
Thoughts?
