CakePHP Admin Plugin

A CakePHP Plugin for sexier admin scaffolding using Twitter Bootstrap.

Installation

1. Copy the plugin to app/Plugin/Admin
2. Enable the plugin in app/Config/bootstrap.php

CakePlugin::loadAll(array(
    'Admin' => array(
        'bootstrap' => true
    )
));

Usage

1. Go to http://example.com/admin where example.com is the URL of your website
2. The main navigation is built "automagically" from the models in app/Model

Authorization

In order to control access to Admin actions, the plugin supports a adminIsAuthorized() callback function. Use of the caalback is not required and, by default, access to all actions is unrestricted.

To use the adminIsAuthorized() callback function:

1. Create the adminIsAuthorized() function in app/Config/bootstrap.php
2. return boolean true to allow access or boolean false to deny access

function adminIsAuthorized()
{
    if (the user is authorized) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
