I have previously created my own content management system which I used to upload images to my website and also create albums for them to be stored in. I shall modify this CMS to save having to build one from scratch.
Changing Images
This option will let the user change the images used on the website, such as the featured image on the homepage and slider images on each page.
Changing Text
The user may want to change text such as what the exhibit is about, opening times and sections on each of the element pages.
Changing the Logo
As the museum may decide to run this exhibit again in the future, they may also need to update the logo if it changes. A simple logo changing form will make this easy for the user to do so.
How will the admin access the CMS?
I shall be putting a button in the footer which says "Admin", this keeps it away from the navigation and content of the web page but will be easy to find if you know where it is which the admin will do. Clicking the admin button will take the user to a login screen which will be themed similar the the Misanji website and include the logo in the header. From there the admin can simply type in his username and password which will take them to a page which welcomes them to them to the CMS and provides them some options for editing.
CMS Design
This is what the admin shall see when they first arrive on the CMS page, it will inform them that they need to log in to make any changes to the website.
Once the user is logged in a menu shall appear under the logo with the options they need to edit the website.
Video of CMS Working
Unfortunately I had a few problems using phpMyAdmin the hosting I was using so I decided to create a quick video showing the CMS working on my local host. I aim to try and get this amended and have a working version online. The hosting I used is a free host which has very basic PHP utilities which I think ultimately stopped my CMS working on the website.
It's good.
