The following types are defined as part of the basic eFiction site:

  • A - Admin panels

  • F - Favorites

  • S - Submissions

  • B - Browse

  • P - Member Profile

  • U - Member Account

  • L - Top 10 Lists

(1) Hidden by default. (2) System panels. You should not need to alter these settings and may cause errors if you do

Admin Panels

The admin panels control the different admin options for the site. In 2.0 the list was static. Putting the admin options into panels allows site owners the option of changing the access level for the various features. It also allows new options to be added without editing everything. The 0-4 levels in the panel are most applicable here. The levels 1 to 4 indicate the admin level required to access a certain feature.

Favorite Panels

The favorites panels are included both in the member "Account Info" page and the list of panels in the profile. In the "Account Info" area the panel must be set to level 1 to be visible in the list of options. Otherwise, they're used as part of the "Manage Favorites" panel.

The Top 10 panel. They're all turned on my default. If you turn favorites off, it is suggested that you hide, not delete, the favorites panels. (You could change your mind later.)

The submission panels will only be displayed in the user panel if submissions are turned on. They were placed in a type separate from the user panels so they would be turned on and off together based on the submission site settings.

User Account Panels

As an extra level of security here. The "level" of the panel should be set to either 0 or 1. Panels with level 0 will be displayed to anyone. Panels with level 1 will be displayed only to logged in members. The login, register, and lost password panels are currently the only panels set to level 0 for the user account area.
