The Fingertips Administrator template allows you to turn your Admin-side Control Panel into a true dashboard.
The package available for free is simply a template for your Administrator Control Panel. However, it doesn't allow you to turn your Admin CP into a dashboard -- it is only a new skin and an alternative to Khepri.
The package available for Charter Members has several parts:
- THREE template alternatives for your Administrator Control Panel
- a component for managing your menu groups, menu items, and modules, which allows you to create the dashboard effect.
The templates included in the commercial version are:
- Fingertips Default Template
- Khepri modified to work with Fingertips
- Crisp (from JoomlaBamboo) modified to work with Fingertips
We wrote Fingertips mostly for our own use -- we *live* on the admin-side of Dioscouri.com, and we've been frustrated that there isn't a simple way to make information readily available across multiple components.
For example, when we're in BILLETS answering support tickets, we want to know which users are online, and we'd like to see their avatars. We'd also like to see a summary of our recent AMBRA SUBSCRIPTION sales. And when we're on the main Admin Cpanel, we'd like to see a snapshot of the past week's submitted tickets in a MANGA graph next to a live-chat box between our Dioscouri colleagues.
All of this is now possible with Fingertips. See below for more information, and (once we have it ready) don't forget to test out the demo.
We're using Fingertips right alongside you, so we'll probably find any bugs in it before you do, but if you should happen to find any--or if you have a Feature Request--please let us know via our Support Center!
Thanks!
