Hi,

We are currently redesigning our website and decided to go with EE. We are currently setting things up using the Core installation. It is looking good but I have 2 questions.

1) I want to create a styled limited control panel, where users would only be able to post, delete and edit entries. For example, we have a list of clients. At the moment I created a blog “Clients” and made one post which has all clients within <a></a> tags. Ideally I would want the link tags to be created by template. I haven’t figured out the best way of doing this, bit I was thinking of making each link to be a blog entry with title being the name of the link and summery for example as destination (i’ll probably have to strip the p tags). But I would then want the logged in user to be presented with a list like so:

link 1 (edit | delete)
link 2 (edit | delete)
link 3 (edit | delete)
link 4 (edit | delete)

Add link
Name: [—-]  Destination: [—-] (submit)

Basically, admin sees the page exactly as any other user would, but with the extra options of edit, delete and add/submit.

Would that be possible?

2) Probably a simpler question 😊 Which option would we need to go for in the end Core, Personal or Commercial to achieve the above? The site is for design studio and will contain portfolio.

Thank you.

If the primary purpose of the site is to support a business, you’d want the Pro license.  So- if the design study is a business, that’s the way to go. 

Now… as to the control panel.  Are you talking about on the frontend of the site- having a link to edit/delete all entries- and have it show only to logged in users (or a specific user group)- something along those lines?  If so- check out this wiki entry.  It won’t give you the delete link- but it gets you the edit.

Is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

Thank you!
