Hi,

can I develop my own very limited back-end for my customer ?

I need a back-end customized for all users (not admin)...

thanks

What do you need the minimal backend to be able to do?

This is what I do. I usually call my new role "manager".

1. Create a new role in the user management->roles section of the admin interface.

2. Create a new user for your client and assign it the new role.

3. In the User management -> permissions admin section you can set just the permissions you need for your client.

You can also simplify the backend by moving common tasks to a new menu or to the top level of the administration menu so your client doesn't have to search through the menus looking for the admin pages.

Hi,

To me that looks like a cck content type with no title value for the body field (thereby disabling a body field), a cck select widget with two options: enabled/disable and a cck field for the image. I would look into the imageCache module for variations in the image size (unless you want a different picture source for 'big image') and there ya go...

Cheers

hey,

I did what you suggested me using CCK and ImageField... Thanks!

One more thing.. let's say I would like to have a slideshow with my images.. such as this:

or this with controls, image numbers (1/3), and title...

http://georgevandervlugt.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=ar...

can I easily build (or even better to find a plugin) and integrate it with the content type I have just creted ?

thanks

What about these;
http://drupalmodules.com/module/jquery-slideshow
http://drupalmodules.com/module/couloir-slideshow
http://drupalmodules.com/module/slideshow-creator
http://drupalmodules.com/module/views-slideshow-imageflow
http://drupalmodules.com/module/views-slideshow

Try and look for a module to fit your needs on drupalmodules.com
I think it's easier to find a module there then here on drupal.org

Cheers
