Hello again,
I’m going to be releasing the administrative console (alpha) either
tomorrow or Thursday. The reason I have not yet released it is that I’m
in the process of migrating the entire system to AJAX, which has
uncovered a few structural issues with the code that weren’t rearing
their heads in the non-AJAXed version.
I still need to make a few modifications, and clean up two or three
weird bugs that I noticed today, but I’m gearing up for a release in the
next couple of days.
I also anticipate making a screencast on how to use the console this
weekend.
I described the console earlier at
http://www.yehudakatz.com/admin-console.html
To recap, it’s a drop-in engine that will provide almost painless CRUD+
operations (CRUD + drag/drop acts_as_list + activate/deactivate). It
automatically generates a bunch of cool widgets, and has some fairly
nice styles. I have removed the file widget for now, since AJAX doesn’t
easily support file uploads.
Stay tuned!
