What is Total Control?The Total Control Admin Dashboard creates a default panel page with useful administration panes right out of the box. Several overview panes are included for site stats and quick reference. Several View panes are provided with 'more' links to full-page comprehensive versions of the views. Each View panel pane is customizable via pane settings, or override the default views provided to suit your own needs.Who is it for?If your site is high traffic, high volume, or high activity and needs to be monitored on a daily basis, then Total Control is for you. It's purpose is to create a central dashboard where one can go to see summaries of all parts of a site that need attention on a daily basis.Why another admin dashboard module?I evaluated all the other admin dashboards out there and realized that none of them seemed to do much more than take the pre-existing Drupal admin area and display it differently. My goal here is to leverage views and panels to create something much more helpful than what Drupal comes with out of the box.Panels Content Panes Included: * creating content: list of 'add' & 'configure' links for each content type * content overview: number of posts in each type, comment count, spam count * user overview: total number, active and blocked counts, and role counts * taxonomy overview: number of terms in each category with 'list terms' and 'add terms' links * panels overview: list of all active panels on your site, with 'edit' linksViews Included: * content (both panel pane and page) * content types (both panel panes and pages for every type on your site) * users (both panel pane and page) * users roles (both panel pane and page for every role on your site) * activity (both panel pane and page) * comments (both panel pane and page) * files (both panel pane and page) * tags (both panel pane and page)Module Dependencies: * Panels 3.x * Views 2.x * Views Bulk Operations * Search (optional, but recommended) * Statistics (optional)Workflow SupportPanels Content Panes: * workflow overview: how many pieces of content in each state * workflow control: add and edit links for workflows and statesViews: * workflow summary: content that recently changed states (pane and page) * workflow state summaries: (both panel panes and pages for every state on your site) *newTODO: * OG support / default panel panes & views (2.x-dev release) * better documentationUpgrading: 1. disable total_control 2. delete your old dashboard page 3. optional: go to your views page admin/build/views and filter by 'tag' = 'total_control' 4. optional: delete any remaining views (note: customizations will be lost!) 5. replace the old version of the module with new version 6. enable total_control 7. optional: customize your views again (if necessary)
