Control Panel

The control panel is accessible from http://www.mybandsite.co.uk/controlpanel/.

Note

Remember that you will need to login using your username and short site code, for example asmith_rcb.

The control panel contains the following options:

  • Modules Configuration
  • User Setup
  • Web Analytics
  • Site Settings
  • Site Style
  • Payment History
  • Logout

Modules Configuration

The modules configuration option allows you to change which modules are installed for your site.

There are two lists shown here. The top list contains the modules that are enabled, and the bottom list those that are disabled. Click the add to site and remove from site buttons to move modules between these lists.

Clicking a module name will take you to the reference documentation for that module.

Some modules have additional configuration. Click the configure link to change this.

User Setup

This option allows users to be created. You will need to create users for all the band members that need to be able to access the private area of your site.

The main table on this page shows a list of users and their permissions. The far right column shows how long it is since they last logged in.

Click the name of the user to change their settings or click the add new user link to add a new user.

Warning

You will need to create a member record in the Admin Site for the user and point that member at the user’s login before they will be able to log into the private area.

Web Analytics

Web analytics are provided by the Piwik Web Analytics open source project. This link allows access to your statistics.

You will need to put Piwik javascript into your template.html for stats to start recording.

Site Settings

This option allows some of the config for your site to be administered.

Want 404 Mails

If checked, the site will send you an email whenever a page is requested that does not exist.

Piwik Username/Password

Enter your Piwik username and password here for the Web Analytics link to take you straight into your stats without having to login again.

Site Style

This allows you to change the default style of your website. You’ll get a warning if you’ve created a template.html which will override this setting.

Payment History

Shows the payment history on your account.

Logout

Logs you out of the control panel
