What I'm saying is that there isn't so much a default, as there are several options. On one internal site I still use oldadmin. > If I remember correctly, asgard was sort of > put on hold several months ago, and the old admin site does not support the > kind of functionality to allow none System Admins to use it i.e.) I wouldn't > want customers into it, to maintain their web sites. > > What is the alternative? Currently nadmin is the most complete admin interface available. Asgard is usuable but not without bugs. Oldadmin is rocksolid but does not support most of the post-1.2.5 features. There's work in progress which will re-implement most of the hairy C-based functionality in an embedded scripting language. An interesting spinoff you just made me realize is that since this new approach will allow the site maintainer to write functions and classes in this language which will be transparently available in PHP, it would be entirely feasible to write the 'static' part of the application, the framework for the application, in the embedded script, and relatively little will have to be done in Midgard/PHP to handle the user interaction part. It should be a lot easier to develop and maintain an application like that. Especially since you will also be able to call your backend functions directly without going through apache. Heh... realizing this, it's actually damned close to PHPs original intent... be a lightweight front-end technology allowing to call back to bussiness logic implemented elsewhere. OK, so Rasmus was thinking of C, but still...
