Dolphin 7.1 (Osho) - Admin Panel

What end-users don't see, but you, fellow web-masters, have to deal with all the time - the Dolphin Administration system is undergoing a nice makeover. Our goal is to make it easier to navigate and understand without being a Dolphin guru, plus we want to make it generally more useful for everyday site monitoring.

There're a few big improvements that we're not quite ready to show yet, so expect a couple more posts covering Dolphin Admin, but there're already many improvements worth peering at:

New Dashboard

The new Dashboard now features an overview of site's content and alerts when there's something pending review. Also we've added some fancy charts to display site growth dynamics and a pie-chart of existing content percentiles. Modules (including 3rd party) can connect to those charts to display their info as well. So, now is looks like a real Dashboard...

Other Bits

There're lots of little tweaks that we're working on, such is reorganising pages, settings, fixing goofy language, simplifying license registration process, adding templates management  and removing unnecessary blurb. The process is ongoing, but just for example, here's the reorganised Laguage Settings page, where all separate blocks have been moved into one block as tabs, making the whole section a lot more handy...

well, and the new Dolphin, naturally, made it to the login panel...

There're just a handful of little things left to do, so we're actually getting very close to beta testing. Stay around!
