Hi!
I want to build a small website with couple of pages where I would like to inplement an admin area for the article and gallery managemant. So actually it would be not a complex usermanagemant system. I've been looking for a library which would accomplish this issue, but there are so many that I could not decide which one would be best for me. I'm using the newest version of codeigniter.
Every sugestion would be welcome.
Thanks

Any reason why you just don't use Wordpress?
There is always PyroCMS. To be honest though if I am making a basic site without any site specific requirements I usually punt for Wordpress. It is only when I need site specific functionality that I look a Codeigniter and a custom coded option.
Why Wordpress? I really like the content editing / media manager. Take's a lot of time to get it working as nicely as that and a lot of smaller projects simply don't have have it.

Actually i want to experiment a bit with codeigniter becuase I'm finding it cool. Most of my sites I'm making it using joomla or wordpress. By this project there is no deadline thats why I would like to give a try to inplement my own stuffs.

I am using Ion_auth and I am liking it;
it has most of options / functions one may need and I have also easily extended it to suit my needs.
So +1 for Ion_Auth from me.
Cheers,
Smilie

CodeIgniter WIKI AG_Auth
Has a basic admin panel and is simple to use.

I use PyroCMS for virtually every (non-ecommerce) site these days.
Out of the box it will do the parts you've identified here and it's CI based and very easy to understand and customize for your own work.

Hi fefe,
The solutions I've recently came up with sounds like a good fit for your needs ...
It is using Tank Auth with a small groups extension I created. You can read about it in detail here. If you will only have admin users for your site, then Tank Auth by itself would work nice by itself I think.
Also, my response on this thread discusses how to do an admin section.
