nmAdmin
November 25, 2009Added the administrative login functionality to the site.
Pretty easy implementation. Began by putting the non-root include files into the correct folders. Then searched and replaced with the correct pathing for my server. Uploaded all the files to the correct folders then tested by trying to direct link to all the visible files to make sure that they redirect to the admin_login.php page which they did.
The most time consuming process was adding a slight bit of CSS to ensure that the text was legible on a black background as well as giving the sections a little bit of breathing room. Also not hard to implement, but it takes a bit of sleuthing through the PHP code to see where to put the new HTML tags. Had one snag until I realized that there are two HTML sections on the admin_reset.php page.
