FlashBaker (Admin Panel)

August 6th, 2007

I have been really busy building out a new Admin Panel for my client’s Flash sites using cakePHP.

I have been using cakePHP for a little over a year now and I have been very happy with the framework so I decided to go with that. It is also a great companion to Flash sites that need an html alternative and XML feeds for data. Right now I am calling this web app FlashBAKER and will release a scaled down version of the app as Open source. Here is a list of features I have been working on:

      1. File Upload and Management
      2. FTP drop box (You can FTP files into a drop box on the server and the application will move the files into the correct directory as well as add them into the Database for use with Galleries)
      3. Photo Gallery support with Images and SWFs.
      4. Site maintenance option to take the site off line while performing updates.
      5. Dual Flash and HTML display layers to allow seamless site data delivery to any visitor on multiple platforms.
      6. User accounts with Client asset tagging to allow file sharing for different users. When client logs in they see only the files you have “attached” to their account.
      7. File commenting for detailed descriptions and client feedback.
      8. Auto thumbnail generation for images uploaded and FTPed into the application.
      9. Web 2.0 goodies like drop and drag reordering of sections, galleries, and files.
      10. Flash setting file generator. Allows automation of config file used for flash website and creates a clean XML for you with correct variable typing. Supports String, Number, Array and XML.

A full Demo and screen shots ares coming soon!

    I am going to try and put up a demo for people to see very soon. I actually have a few sites running on it right now napkinnotebook.com, amiesplacefoundation.org, bfreedesign.com and iliketodream.com. Currently I am selling it to clients as part of building them a flash/html site.
