Chapter 2. Introduction

2.1. What does it do?

The purpose of this plugin is to allow developpers to quickly and easily create FE administration screens for your web site. It handles File uploads, check boxes, select lists, radio buttons, RTE editing and so forth. In list mode it also provides different search boxes: full text search, alphabetical search and advanced search.

In addition, it is possible to trigger email notification upon creation and updating of records. It can also provide for email moderation (classic example is user registration: upon registration user recieves email requiring confirmation; upon confirmation administrator recieves mail requiring adminstrator validation of user record; upon administrator validation user recives email notification that his account has been accepted).

Upon creation of elements, it also allows the addition of a sub site model to a part of you site tree, thus allowing easy creation of member sections (in case of fe_users editing), workspace pages (in case of editing of a project element) and whatever else you can imagine. The principle is pretty simple. You create a page tree template  for the work space with TS config template. Upon creation the page tree template is copied to the specified root tree and TS Config template is instanciated with different values to make evrything work.

It is also possible to add special actions to record editing.

A default template is generated based on the TCA definition of table, but this template can be customized through the plugin's flexform.
