After knowing the Silverstripe Admin Part 1 about the Site Content, then in this second part will discuss the other parts of silverstripe admin page. These sections are Files & Images, Comments and Security.
Files & Images
Files & Images are used to manage files from silverstripe repository. Each file contained in this section can be used directly on the Site Content. So any files that are stored in this section can be directly connected to the web pages in silverstripe. Files & Images also has a shape like LEFT MAIN Site and Content.
LEFT part on the Files & Images are Tree directory on the repository. While the MAIN contains a list of files contained in a directory selected from the LEFT. Each addition and deletion of directories process is on the LEFT. For the addition, alteration and deletion of the file name is in the MAIN. MAIN section is also used for changing the name of the selected directory.
Files & Images also has a facility to upload a file upload form using Flash tools. With these tools we can do some uploading files at once.
Comments
Comments section are used to manage all the comments from visitors on the web. Comments on a page can be activated on the attribute SiteContent Behavior. Later on that page will be displayed commentary form for visitors to fill out a comment from the contents of the page.
LEFT on Comments containing tree to classify the comments to three types of comments, ie Approved, Awaiting Moderation and Spam. Every election one of the comments will be displayed on the MAIN in tabular form. Admin can approove, delete and mark comments as spam in MAIN.
Security
The last part I will discuss is the Security. In Security section contains all the existing user list on silverstripe including administrators. In the future we can create a user group that can be used for various things. One example is that we can create a web page that can only be read by a user on a particular group only. As for the default setting of the administrator group which is a group of users who can access the admin pages on silverstripe.
On the LEFT of the Security displayed the names of user groups arranged in tree form. Adding user groups can also be done hierarchically. For example we want to have some kind of administrator. This can be done by adding the child from the group that the group had previously selected.
At the MAIN of the Security will have a table that is used to view a list of users who are on a particular group. Adding users is done directly from this table. Besides the addition of a user, this table is also used to edit and delete user.
Setting permissions for a user from a group can be set on the Permissions tab located on the MAIN.
While IP Addresses tab is used to regulate what IP can log in for a group. This can be used to restrict user access from a particular IP or a specific network.
With facilities located in the silverstripe Admin we can manage the web with ease. How to use this admin page was not difficult. But there are some disadvantages with silverstripe admin page, which is the process time of the pages take some time because it uses AJAX technologies. But these shortcomings are not so significant compared with the number of facilities provided by Silverstripe Admin Page.
