Admin

ARK2 offers a stand-alone Admin web interface, allowing an API-only back-end to be configured and maintained. When running the full ARK2 Web frontend, the Admin interface is accessible to admin-level users, but does not 'leak' into the standard user interface. Because ARK2 supports multi-tenant/multi-site modes, the Admin interface has two broad divisions between Site Admin and System Admin, i.e. managing an ARK instance and managing the ARK installation.

SBAdmin and AdminLTE were early options assessed.

Site Admin

Administration of an ARK Site.

  • Site details (name, short description, etc)
  • Default language
  • Multilingual support?
    • Other Languages
  • Default TimeZone


User/RBAC Admin

User Frosting was an early option assessed.

Translation Admin

ARK2 uses Symfony Translation for translating both markup and content into multiple languages, including data values such as taxonomy terms. A Site Admin needs to be able to add and maintain translations directly. Advanced features are not required, as specialised websites will be used to maintain the core translation files. A sortable/filterable list view of translation keys and their translations into the site's supported languages is required. Useful features would be searching for keywords that are missing translations, etc.

A translation has the following fields:

  • Domain - Message group, e.g. Users, Admin, Errors, etc
  • Keyword - The translation key
  • Role - The translation role, e.g. Default, Title, Description, Opposite, etc
  • Language
  • Text - The translation
  • Notes - Notes to help the translator, will default to original English translation if not otherwise set

Alerts / Flashes Admin

Alerts or Flashes are

Workflow Admin

Schema Admin

View Admin

System Admin

Early releases of ARK2 will not provide a system admin panel. Instead sysadmins will use the Sysadmin Console.

Options in the Sysadmin panel will include:

  • Install status (maintenance mode / live mode)
  • Error Message maintenance (similar to translations)
