Module Admin
Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2008 12:52 am
I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas regarding this. Basically, in creating the backend for a module, I have come many times to the situation where I need to include JavaScript that might conflict with other JavaScript inclusion by the admin theme itself. My first idea was to create my own JavaScript framework which for the most part, works well. Unfortunately, having one person work on a framework is not really the way to go so I had a new idea:
Using SetParameters, I create user friendly urls to a module backend but makes it inside of the /admin folder so that it can still do the various user checks. Obviously, this means that when the user wants to edit the module, the link on the admin site will need to point them to the true backend which is really not in the backend but a frontend page. Beside that, I am wondering if there are any other side effects and if they might be a better way?
