I would like to use PyroCMS for a golf company website. PyroCMS have very great admin panel and we can also use themes to change whole look of website.
I want to modify, extend admin in such a way the whole admin will be where I can easily manage players, contents, registrations etc.
it means I want to add extra tabs in admin panel from where control website functions.
Is this possible?
There's a perfect documentation for PyroCMS on their website. You should look into that.
When making your own modules (thus making new buttons inside the admin panel) you can always refer to existing modules.
Also the forums can help you out if you have specific coding questions.
Be aware that PyroCMS is based upon the framework "CodeIgniter", and their "User Guide" is also a good source when developing.
On a sidenote:
When online, be sure that there's always a "Powered by PyroCMS" link visible when you did not buy a license. The free license forbids to take the copyrights away.
Good luck.

Am a JavaEE guy. wanted to develop a website just like a glassdoor including the same customer and user reviews for the product. So i googled some and got to know wordpress plays a big role for the same.
Wanted to know will it possible to create a same website template using wordpress or should i need to stick with java cms portal system? (including all the functionality)
Please suggest some templates if its exactly matches glassdoor!! and which one will be best for back end like java or php for this requirement?
Start using Bootstrap ยท The world's most popular mobile-first and responsive front-end framework. and HTML.
If you want existing themes you can go to
Free Website Builder | Create a Free Website | WIX.com ,
WordPress.com: Create a free website or blog
The Glassdoor website is created in the fbml in my opinion which uses fbml,jquery and javascript.
I have an existing PHP/MySQL application (non-WP). I'm showing bits and pieces of this application via iframes in a WP site. Right now the client has two admins; WP and my own custom admin and it's inconvenient for them.
What I want to achieve is to be able to show my custom admin inside WP. Every section of my admin is quite simple and with few controls so I don't mind doing a re-write to adapt this code to WP.
Having never really developed anything related to WordPress I need to know conceptually how to approach this. I don't need for code samples but rather the steps involved in all of this. Any gotchas from experienced WP developers are quite welcome too.
I think you can develop a WordPress plugin for your non-WP application.
Here's the approach I would try (you only say your app is quite simple, so I'm just assuming it's made of few pages/forms):
Create a plugin that leverage WP authentication
Show your app inside iframes in the WP admin panel
Change your app UI in order to match or use the WP admin panel one.
I did this in the past and having an iframe to be showed in the WP admin it's quite easy and users are happy to have just one authentication point.
I just recently started working with a Magento site, and so far I'm really not liking it. I need to remove a couple links from the main navigation, but I can't seem to find the option for it. I've googled it numerous times, and all I see are examples for coding the navigation. My question is, can you edit the site navigation like you can with say wordpress? Seeing how it's a cms I'd imagine the user should be able to make changes to the navigation using some type of interface, and without having to pull the files from the server and edit them.
Also just out of curiosity, for anyone experienced with Magento would you say it's a good choice for a cms? I've heard of it before, but haven't seen many sites that use it.
No!, so you have three options here.
Learn how to extend the navigation with the 100's of tutorials out there, it is really not that hard, assuming you have a theme you just have to edit app/design/frontend/[theme]/default/template/page/html/topmenu.phtml
Get an extension to do it for you.
Hire a developer to do it for you, we create a static block with installer for the html which make it slightly more user friendly to update in the future.
Stackoverflow is a bad place to ask questions like this, it is aimed at programmers and doing such a procedure is rudimentary stuff, I really hope you are a client trying to be cheap rather than someone who claims they can run this site.
Edit: The cms features are ok but you need to be able to code to set them all up so the end user can make the changes with WYSIWYG.
If you don't want to code for navigation then you can do below things
1) Create category and then Display Settings=>Display Mode=>static block only and Display Settings=>CMS Block=>static block name. In static block u can include in page url or custom page
2)You need to hire developer
If you're using Magento and have an integrated WordPress blog, it's possible to design a completely custom menu in the WordPress Admin using the menu builder. You have complete control over what menu items you want and the hierarchy of each item.
To get this to work, you need to integrate your WordPress blog using WordPress Integration in full integration mode. Your Magento template also has to be using the default Topmenu block.
My institution wants that every member of the centre must have their personal webpage. They also wants that individual mast have able to build/modify their personal page as they want.
Now, how I have seen the application is -
Members can create their own theme based personal profile.
They can have multiple interlinked pages with navigation.
They can upload pictures, videos inside pages.
They can publish, suspend any page.
Is there any php based framework; which can handle the above requirements.
Thanks,

You need a CMS(Content Management System) rather than a framework. Take a look at Joomla and Drupal.
Any CMS should satisfy it... but all will require some customisation to do exactly what you want...
A good CodeIgniter-based CMS is http://www.getfuelcms.com/ which is easy to customise.
I would go with Joomla as it provides a lot of flexibility. Look into creating your own custom extensions and components.
Is this a common task in your Drupal work when you're asked to create a custom admin section in Drupal for your content?
For instance, you have a few content types and user wants not only to view them, but to search using different filters, to add new items - all inside the same admin subsection.
In essence, this is classic search/grid/record screen/pages and while in typical Drupal distribution content management screents are kind of scattered around, I am talking about more organized spage, e.g. in which Grid (View) also has "Add new" link and you don't have to scroll to "Create content" menu which relates to a different section.
What is your experience and opinion in this relation?
I'm actually working on something like this right now where I work. We've built a custom module to solve Drupal's biggest problem of having unorganized content by organizing it in a nice tree structure. What we've decided to do is go ahead and create a whole new section within the admin just for managing content through this module (it contains a lot more functionality than just a tree structure). There were two big deciding factors when deciding to do this.
We knew we weren't going to be releasing this module so we didn't need to worry about integration with other modules because any such integration would be done by us.
The non-technical staff that this was presented to preferred this method over having several different admin pages with different pieces of functionality on each one, despite all the functionality being related. They viewed at as simply being easier to use.
The point behind my explanation is this: if it makes sense in your situation, then I'd say make either a new section or a new page with several tabs on it. There's a lot of deciding factors to consider:
Do I (or my) clients like the Drupal admin as is?
Do I need to worry about integration with third party modules?
Is time of the essence (this one is a big one)?
How extensible do I need the new admin page(s) to be?
Is upgrading to the newest version of Drupal of big importance (from 5 to 6 and later from 6 to 7 and so on)?
Many non-developers I've talked to abhor the Drupal admin and most content editors I've talked to or worked with prefer having a single admin page they can go to to manage all of their content. As a result, our setup is well received by our clients even though some within the Drupal community may not agree with it.
you can use views_bulk_operation module to show content (or users) to execute (batch) operations on them. in this way you get a sortable grid with search capabilities (exposed filters), pagination and the possibility to execute custom bulk actions. from here it's easy to add a link "create new" in the view footer. furthermore, you can use link as "local tasks" to organize views in tabs.
usually i use simplemenu for the admin backend and i hide the navigation menu in the sidebar for all but administrators.
Another option - much easier to deliver - would be to create a new menu only visible to the administrators - and dependent on the content displayed - with links to the pages for common tasks. Particular views, for example, or to add new content of the currently displayed type, etc.
