Allenj713 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Title explains it all lol, for some reason i can not seem to find anything on the internet to even get me started with creating the ACP or any tutorials. Could anyone point me in the right direction to some good references or even some good online tutorials? Would really appreciate it! -Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodius2000 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 wow..... just wow. that is a huge question, I would start small and get a book, if this is our first programming language, figure on about 2 months you will have a functional, but ongoing project of an ACP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neromir Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Maybe a little more clarification on what type of control panel you're looking for would help. As it stands, your request is pretty broad. Part of the problem with trying to find you a good tutorial is that there is such a wide range of requirements for an ACP-- it depends on what you want to do with it and what kind of site you're going to put it on.

CroNiX Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The first thing you will need is to create a user authentication script. You will have a database table with things like access level. Then for the ACP, you just check the users access level and see if they are an administrator, if not kick em out. Thats is in a nutshell. As mentioned above, if you are new it will take some learning to get this far...you need to learn how to access the database, insert info into it, retrieve it, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prexep Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Make a list of what you want the ACP to do and manage. Then put it into a algorithm and pseudocode. Example. I want a login. What makes a login? Form, DB, and code to check it. Whats needed in the DB and form? Username, password, and a primary key (unique ID would be best). Check to see if input is equal to the DB. So on. See what you want the ACP to do and needs then set up whats needed for each function. Then make the steps. Then code it from there. It will practically code itself.

Allenj713 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Haha that was fast, and yes i know it was kinda vague. Basically i need it for a bands website, a friends of mine. So he can log in and change news, links, pics those being the main things. I am fairly new to this stuff but from what ive heard its not to difficult once you can see it in context, thats why ive been looking for any online examples. Guess i just have no idea where to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prexep Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Start out with your login. Use my example above if you want a little help how to start it. Then build on to that. Make a index and a navigator and build on from there. Just build it one piece at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenj713 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sounds good, thanks a lot! But one more question, just out of curiosity, if i were to put text into the page in html, how can i set it up so within the control panel it would just display the text on the page, like in a little editable test box, and be freely editable by the person? Is that an easy possibility? Because that's basically what i need to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 You might just want to check out Joomla/WordPress/Drupal etc. Either just use them or study them. Here is a place you can check them out... http://www.opensourcecms.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
