Ok, so I had an predicament of worrying that my other admins on my site will mess with my admin panel and screw up the design.
So I wanted them to not have access the Display tab or the left side panels.
Since they are admins, however, I wanted them to have access to other stuff, like groups, and forums, etc.

Sooo, I came up with a slight solution for this.

I actually blocked off parts of the admin panel.

Check it out:




How did I do it?

• WebArtz's handy "embed a website into a website" tutorial
  
• Absolute positioning with CSS
  
• Icons from Iconspedia.com
  
• My own creative ideas
  

I embedded the codes into an HTML page, then linked that to a forum so that my other admins could see it, but I put the real admin panel into a forum that only I can see.

No, this isn't a joke, it isn't photoshopped. It's legit

And, it probably isn't such a great achievement, but I tried my best...

What do you think?

Nice work, so you just made a new html page with the same layout etc. With additional icons?

I think I'm beginning to understand what you did when I look closer...

To me it doesn't look like you are denying them access, but you embed an image - in this case an icon - unto the certain parts of the page to block it.

Okay .. that's creative eco.

Yeah I just embedded the link to the admin panel in an html page, but I had to make the dimensions really large. Like 2500 long x 1000 wide. It's in an iframe.

Then I just added this html above the iframe.

Code:

<div style="position: absolute; top: 123px; left: 166px; height: 35px; width: 81px; background-image: url('LINK TO "X" IMAGE'); background-position: 33px center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"></div>

This one blocks off the display tab and you can put whatever image you want where it says background-image.

And dawn, yeah, that's it.
With this method, you can block off parts without an image though, by defining dimensions for a <div> element.

Hey eco!

Looks like you have came up with something out of the box
But I don't get what exactly you have done? You just put a red 'X' image on the display tab, right? What do you do with the iframes?

Okay, I'll just spill my codes

This is what's in my html page.

Code:

<div style="position: absolute; top: 123px; left: 166px; height: 35px; width: 81px; background-image: url('http://i67.servimg.com/u/f67/14/87/55/48/dialog10.png'); background-position: 33px center; background-repeat: no-repeat;"></div>

<div style="position: absolute; top: 160px; left: 30px; height: 700px; width: 231px; background-image: url('http://i67.servimg.com/u/f67/14/87/55/48/untitl14.png'); background-position: 10px top; background-repeat: no-repeat;"></div>

<iframe src="LINK TO FORUM/admin/index.forum?" style="border: 0" height="2550px" width="990" frameborder="1" scrolling="no"></iframe>

The panel is a bit smaller than the actual one, but it works. Also, I still have to block off the parts where it says "toggle admin interface" and "resize font" because that change the sizes of everything and the block will be out of position.

And you don't even need X images. The div element will block out the areas with the absolute positioning. I just put the X to notify the admins which areas are off limits.

Also note that this only works in the "simple" mode. Advanced is a different story, whereas I believe you can only block off certain tabs. Still effective, though.

Great! I get it now I can call you a genius

But this will only work if you are using an HTML page, its not possible on actual admin panel

Yeah you can't do anything on the actual panel.

This definitely has its limits, but it works, I guess.

Pretty cool work mate , For me , you're one awesome dude , No really , that's pretty cool , it'd be awesome to limit the co-admin's reaching , Really wonderful work , If I had to rate it , I'd rate it a 100/100 , just as anki said , it's sort of has it's limitations too , but it sure is cool! , awesome work ,

hahah thanks, Fred.

Well, but still what you have done is commendable & out of the box.

Thanks .

Maybe this could be used for other things besides the admin panel too, but only time will tell.

Thanks for strengthening my idea, guys. I hope to create similar ones in the future!

@ Sanket , Well , everything sure has it's limitations , doesn't it? , But on witnessing the conspicuous work done by ecosystem , I feel like applauding for him for it , but that still won't be enough how creativity he used into doing something like that , and , meh , Witnessing something unique done by someone (Well until copied by someone else.) , Is really a remarkable job which requires really loads of appreciation , lol , Don't think as if I made this post to ridicule someone , it's just a post expressing my views.

Might want to edit your above post now eco.
Lets not give such ideas.
