Bending the ExpressionEngine Control Panel

Often we have an opportunity to spend more time customising the client’s ExpressionEngine control panel experience. At EEUK13 I walked through examples on how to make the largely underused ExpressionEngine Dashboard a useful stop for your clients.

Note this article was posted 13 years ago so techniques may not work anymore.

I talked about using available add-ons and creating custom widgets for others. I also went through case studies on various other customisations created specifically for clients in the control panel.
