I wish the new version would have gotten rid of the little javascrip up/down arrows -- I really can't stand those things and think that messing around with the standard browser interface is not generally a good idea. This is an excellent project and xhtml/css tricks are just a diversion with no added value.

not sure about installation

I tried out the new admin panel, but I clearly have missed something somewhere.

First, I tried just using the files fromt he package as a replacement of admin/www -- -- and I found that a whole bunch of tools/links were just plain missing (from the naviagation column on the left)

Next I tried combining the files from the package into my existing admin/www -- and I found no improvement.

Some more installation instructions would probably be helpful.

It looks very nice though, and making it skinnable is pretty cool. The addition of the directory browser is nice, but could be laid out better (not centered, more info with less clicks).

I wish the new version would have gotten rid of the little javascrip up/down arrows -- I really can't stand those things and think that messing around with the standard browser interface is not generally a good idea. This is an excellent project and xhtml/css tricks are just a diversion with no added value.

Do you want default browser scrollers or something else?

The new core update:

I started to build a class. That class will help us to handle Admin Panel's options. It is like PHP's mysqli class. This class will help us to write/read settings and other little functions like learning disk that AP works on etc.

Calling the class: $a=new [classname]([AP Path]); Ex: $a=new usmain("/home/admin/www/");

I made 2 functions: $a->writesetting([Setting],[Value],[File],[File Type]); $a->readsetting([Setting],[File],[File Type]);

I will add more functions and instructions asap. Just wait a little ;)
