question to all users: skin for admin ?
Aloha,

Maybe it's a good idea for GOS to make some sort of skin system for the admin ofLinksSQL?

So u can translate the admin (if needed) and make the look more attractive.

What do u think about it?

How about editing the /templates/admin templates?

Yeah, a few templates that you can upload would still be quite good. Maybe like they do with the normal page templates.Say have several templates/admin_style folders, and then an option in the setup for what template you want to use. Nice idea...not sure how practical it would be for GT to integrate though (I'd be happy to make a few templates for it...but only if GT are interested in adding this feature) Smile

Why bother? You will be the only person that see's the admin basically... It is very usuable the way it is. What are you going to gain by adding fancy images to it etc? It's just a waste of time. Spend the time improving the parts of the site that other people see (such as advertisers and/or customers!).

We have been looking at redesigning the admin to make it look more modern, and to make it more friendly to translations. It is a slow process though, as there is still a fair amount of language in the code for the admin.

Cheers,

Me too!

Simple, functional and 'back-end style' as it should be.

Talk of Modern Looks and Skins is a scary thought!

Hi Alex,

I see, so it isn't possible yet to translate the complete admin without changing code ?

But with the template "admin" i can change the look right ?

Hi,

No, you can change about 80% of the admin. The main parts that still have English in them are the Import/Export, Mass Mailer and Database browser. You can view the german demo to get a feel of how much is left.

Cheers,

Alex
