Expanding the administration/dashboard

Permalink
Hello all c5-lovers :)

Recently i decided to dig into c5. So far it have been a blast. I really look forward to continue working and developing for this system.

I was wondering if anybody could pass me a link or give me an introduction on how to expand the dashboard?

To be more precise: i assume a package is what i want to make when i want to make blocks, and administration options for that block at the dashboard.

I'm also curious about how the connection between the single-pages and the translation are?

I'm from Denmark so sorry for any bad english :)

to extend the dashboard you will use single pages, take a look at SQL Buddy in the marketplace, or nontab, they both add a page to the dashboard

and yes you can use a package to install single pages

As for translation in 5.4 it uses Zend Translate

You'll definitely want to take a look at the documentation.

I'd recommend creating some sort of simple dashboard app to get familiar with how the system works. Don't start with your intended project.... trust me.

You'll want to learn how to deploy your app using packages, it just keeps everything better organized.
