    I can’t seem to find if this is possible or if there is way to do it…

    I would like to create several dynamic pages that have the control panel layout and menu.
    I know I can create a template that restricts access to CP folks.. but I would love it to blend in with the rest of the CP.

    Even better would be to replace the “CP Home” screen with a template of my own.


    Anyone have suggestions on how to go about this?

    What you’re asking is currently not an option.
    Only one I can think of is to go the safecracker route http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/safecracker/index.html
    that way you can layout your entry forms the way you see fit. A lot of work though.

    Thanks for the reply..
    Don’t need forms.. just a page where I can pull info from the db.

    I found dashEE and it seems to be a good enough work around for the moment.
