This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

Auto Admin is a module that automatically generates good looking, highly customizable administration pages.

Let Auto Admin build list, add, edit and delete pages for you using its Drush commands to generate configuration data. Then customize the text and form settings to your liking. One-to-many and many-to-one relationships are supported too!

Auto Admin is good at managing data for custom modules whose data structure does not fit as node types. It lets you get of the ground and writing "the fun stuff" really, really quick.

If you have questions, feedback or needs it to do something that it does not do already, please open an issue. Please check out the docs first though :)

Quickstart

Requires drush.
1) Install: 

$ drush dl autoadmin schema
$ drush install autoadmin

2) Create tables in the database.
3) Make sure the module you want to generate Auto Admin schema files for is enabled.
4) Generate files from tables:

$ drush autoadmin-generate [MODULE] [TABLE 1] [TABLE 2] ... [TABLE N] --write

5) Browse to "admin/content" and start adding data.

Known Issues

  • None a.t.m.

Prerequisites

Auto Admin depends on the Schema module. For a table to work with Auto Admin it needs:

  • A primary auto-incrementing integer field.
  • That all relationship fields are integers.

Who

Auto Admin is developed by Rune Kaagaard (_rune) and partly sponsored by my employer Prescriba.
