Over at last
Hurrah! It’s over!
Finally, I’ve finished porting the website over to the new backend. Overall, it’s taken about 7 hours, which isn’t too bad considering the sheer amount of code in this site - a lot of which you don’t actually see. Whilst the displaying code is quite simple and in many cases trivial, there are various options for myself, the administrator, to add/upload files. I just don’t like using phpMyAdmin as much as I used to for that kind of thing.
Admittedly, I’ve not finished the Admin CP but I’m not too bothered about that at the moment. However, there’s still plenty to be done:
- Create the User CP: will contain password changer, preferences (styles etc) and a small profile section.
- Update the Admin CP so that it actually works. I always find this to be a bonus.
- Add a “remember me” option to the login interface - at the moment it automagically remembers you anyway, but that’s not good enough.
- Re-create photos section.
- Finish updating the statistics section, because it’s a templating nightmare and I can’t be arsed at the moment.
- Plugin interface? This is a real big one to do and I don’t know that I can be bothered. Could be interesting though.
In other news, my car’s booked in for an MOT tomorrow. Really hope it passes because I don’t particularly want to have to spend money on that.
However, for the time being I’m off to bed. So I shall bid you all goodnight, and retire in a bedwardly direction. Muahaha.
