WEBVTT 00:00.470 --> 00:01.130 Okay, guys. 00:01.130 --> 00:09.320 So I think it's time that we create some kind of an admin panel that will let people add, edit and 00:09.320 --> 00:17.180 delete posts, but also see the recent comments and recent posts, and we'll give you some kind of an 00:17.180 --> 00:19.280 overview of the app. 00:19.370 --> 00:22.520 So let's begin working on that. 00:22.520 --> 00:25.520 Let's create an admin panel. 00:25.520 --> 00:30.020 And the first step would be to create a separate layout. 00:30.710 --> 00:37.670 Now I'd like to just copy the contents of this main layout and modify it slightly. 00:37.730 --> 00:47.660 So let's create admin PHP file inside layouts folder and paste the contents of our main layout. 00:49.010 --> 00:52.580 Let me change the title to dashboard. 00:53.690 --> 01:00.830 Also the H1 header should be dashboard and let's change the links a little bit. 01:00.830 --> 01:07.580 So the main page here would be let's call it Admin dashboard. 01:11.950 --> 01:17.530 Then instead of posts, we're going to have manage posts. 01:18.100 --> 01:21.580 Also the link is slash admin slash posts. 01:23.320 --> 01:31.180 So there is no way someone cannot be authenticated and admin and access the admin panel. 01:31.210 --> 01:38.290 That's why we don't need this conditional option and instead we should have. 01:38.320 --> 01:40.000 Sorry, I've removed the wrong part. 01:40.030 --> 01:44.740 We should keep the logout part and remove the login link. 01:47.110 --> 01:48.430 Like this. 01:48.460 --> 01:59.020 So we also display the content here and in the footer you can say my blog admin panel. 02:02.140 --> 02:08.710 So in this video I would like us to at least create the main dashboard page that will display some basic 02:08.710 --> 02:12.370 info about the system for the admins. 02:12.520 --> 02:18.550 So in the controllers folder we're going to create a sub folder called admin. 02:18.640 --> 02:27.850 This would contain the admin panel controllers and inside it right away let me make a dashboard controller. 02:31.330 --> 02:37.690 So the namespace here is up controllers admin. 02:38.710 --> 02:43.690 And this is a dashboard controller. 02:44.200 --> 02:53.740 For now let's just have one single action here the index which will display some basic info about the 02:53.740 --> 02:54.700 system. 02:55.210 --> 03:01.540 So in the views folder we need a sub folder I think that would be an admin. 03:01.540 --> 03:07.420 And here we're going to have sub folders for every single controller. 03:07.630 --> 03:12.040 So this one is the dashboard one. 03:12.040 --> 03:22.740 And inside it I'm going to create an index PHP file which will display some basic info about our system. 03:25.140 --> 03:28.710 So for now, let's focus on displaying anything. 03:28.710 --> 03:34.740 Let me just say welcome to the admin panel. 03:36.690 --> 03:42.900 Now jump back to the dashboard controller and let's just render this page. 03:42.930 --> 03:49.770 We need a view from the core namespace and we are rendering the template. 03:49.800 --> 03:54.840 Name is admin dashboard index. 03:55.770 --> 03:58.110 There is no data for now at least. 03:58.110 --> 04:00.840 And we've got a different layout this time. 04:00.990 --> 04:04.590 This is layouts admin. 04:07.110 --> 04:13.410 Now I don't really remember if I had to use this layout prefix yes I did. 04:13.440 --> 04:17.160 Okay, so that should be fine. 04:17.340 --> 04:21.660 Now we need to add this page to the routes. 04:22.470 --> 04:24.660 So let me add a comment here. 04:25.320 --> 04:31.970 Let's add some kind of separation and say admin panel roots. 04:34.460 --> 04:44.540 And in the router I'm just adding a get method that is slash admin dashboard. 04:45.500 --> 04:52.850 And the controller here is the interesting thing is we can use the namespaces normally. 04:52.850 --> 04:58.490 So I can do admin slash dashboard controller. 04:58.490 --> 05:01.700 And the action is index. 05:01.910 --> 05:11.120 So after adding this route let me jump to the main layout and let me add one other link. 05:11.120 --> 05:20.690 So if the user is signed in I'm going to link to the admin dashboard. 05:20.840 --> 05:27.710 Now later on we're going to have the part of the system called authorization. 05:27.710 --> 05:33.440 So we're going to build a system where we also apart from checking if someone is authenticated we're 05:33.440 --> 05:40.580 going to check if, well he can do things Whether he can go to an admin panel which would require the 05:40.580 --> 05:44.450 admin privileges, but that's for later for now. 05:44.720 --> 05:52.910 Let me just add this link and it would be for now, accessible to everyone who's authenticated. 05:53.510 --> 06:01.400 So when I now jump to the admin panel we can see our welcome to the admin panel message and a different 06:01.400 --> 06:01.850 layout. 06:01.850 --> 06:05.000 As you see we've got some different links. 06:05.000 --> 06:07.370 Some of them work, others don't. 06:07.400 --> 06:12.440 Anyway basically I think we can see that this works fine. 06:12.530 --> 06:21.380 Now with this I should add the middleware which is auth so that no one who is not authenticated would 06:21.380 --> 06:25.760 not be able to access the admin panel later on. 06:25.760 --> 06:31.280 As I've said, we're gonna be also requiring some special user privileges. 06:31.280 --> 06:34.070 Anyway, we've just started. 06:34.070 --> 06:41.120 So we've created another section of this website, and in the next video we're going to add some interesting 06:41.120 --> 06:44.120 stats into this main page.
