Here's what I need: I have a table in a SQLite file, that contains items - descriptions, dimensions, image and thumbnail.
I need to allow someone from outside the company to edit this table through an "admin interface". I need a simple login mechanism to authenticate said user, and I need a form that shows all available rows in the table applicable to him/her, and allow editing the values. That may include uploading images.
Now, I've developed tons of these interfaces before, in several languages. What I'd like to ask is: is there a shortcut? Since this needs to be quick and dirty (i.e., this wasn't in the original plan, I'm not being paid for this, but I may lose a client if I don't have it in place) and be up as soon as possible, is there some open source solution, or any previous PHP code, that I can customize and use in this and future cases?
Any solution that will save me time is welcome.
Thanks for YOUR time :)

Well if you can use a framework you could use an auto generated admin interface or scaffolding from a framework. Symfony and Cake both have this. Of course thats a lot of dead weight to have if the whole app/site isnt using the framework. But it would make it relatively painless to create. IF you can run this interface on a subdomain that would make it even esier since you dont have to worry about integrating it with anything existing except the DB and shared folder for the uploaded files.

I would like to write a WordPress plugin that provides the ability to maintain database of potentially detailed entries, and then a filterable view of those entries. Specifically I would like to maintain a player roster, with a set of specific fields for each player. It would include mostly simple fields, though I foresee needing to upload and reference photos as well.
I assume the hard part of this would be the administration page, providing your basic CRUD functionality for the table, then potentially the filterable view. I also assume that this is specific enough that there is not a plugin that fits my needs out of the box. Attempts to find one have come up empty, with one defunct effort and one that is much more complex than I'd like to start with.
So, can anyone point me at a good open source example of a plugin that would get me started, specifically something that creates custom table(s) and provides a CRUD like administration page for maintaining the tables. I'm sure I could write stand alone php scripts to do this, but I'd like to write it in the context of WP, and consider releasing it back on the community.
For a CRUD application in admin, I would like to recommend WP MVC. WP MVC is an MVC framework for WordPress, distributed as a plugin. It's not an out-of-the-box solution, but when mastered, it helps you to write quickly such applications. Latest stable version (1.2) allows you to integrate your custom models(stored in dedicated tables) with WordPress data (Posts,PostsMeta, Users/UsersMeta and Comments/CommentsMeta).

I'm developing an administrative panel to manage product listings. The database structure is already done and it takes me no effort to make a little panel where administrative users will insert and remove products. But every product has a variable number of images that should to be uploaded by the administrative user. Doing a good work will take me some hours, and I have absolutely no time. So I need something pre-made that will let the administrative user:
upload the photos of the product, in a certain server directory (passed as a parameter, for example)
delete one or more photos (preferably with a checkbox to select some of them and then a "delete" button)
show the thumbnails of the currently uploaded photos
sort the photos (I understand that's quite an high request, because sorting means renaming the files!), preferably in an intuitive way (drag & drop, etc...).
It would be awesome if the script could be seamlessly included in an another script without using iframes.
Why don't I just Google for it? That's because I would have to try all the stuff around (when 90% of it is ugly) and I hope you already know a good script you have tested yourself that can work in my scenario!
I've already considered Gallery3, it might work, but it is overkill and hard to integrate. I don't need album creation and management, per-user permissions, or photo showcase and slideshow, what I need it's basically a tiny file manager tailored for images.
There's little time for hiring a developer online, it would take too much to get "in tune" with him/her...
Take a look at http://www.codecanyon.net, they might have scripts that fit your needs over 80% and just need little modifications.
I don't know how many of your criteria jAlbum meets, but it might be worth a look. Someone I know has used it extensively with success.
Another one I'm less familiar with, but might suit, is Plogger.
Of course, with the deadline you were facing, you have probably already sorted this by now! :)

Does anybody know of any open source project that deals with creating forms or surveys?
The engine needs to function something similar to Survey Monkey (surveys; each containing survey pages; each containing a survey element - radio boxes/check boxes/text areas or other components) - except that we have requirements to brand it with custom look and feel and we have our own custom form interactions. I believe that some of these custom interactions might be worth contributing back to the OSS community as well, but we would rather plug it into an existing project that creating one from scratch.
It would be preferable if such a project used PHP and MySQL but I am fine with any other combination. Any inputs on this would be very useful.
Yes, there are. The following may suit you best:
LimeSurvey
LimeSurvey basically contains everything you need for doing nearly every survey with grace.
ActiveCampaign
Conduct surveys with ease by creating your survey using our proprietary WYSIWYG survey design tool, deploying your survey to your respondents, and fully analyzing the results.
PHPESP
PHP scripts to let non-technical users create surveys, administer surveys, gather results, view statistics. All managed online after database initialization.
I can recommend JForm (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jformphp/). It enables you to create easily customizable forms from a php settings array.
I had built one custom survey as per my requirements over here. May be you can customize it and make it as per your needs and you can host it on your server too. It uses PHP / MySQL. Its not a complete solution though.

I'm looking to find an user friendly PHP app to manage my client's collection of vintage tools. I can't find ANYTHING to just simply organize his collection. The closest thing I can find is a shopping cart, but that's not what he needs, as he doesn't want to sell his collection. I don't have the time to code this myself and he's getting agitated because this is taking longer than I promised.
Any suggestions? I'm sure there's SOMETHING out there.
If it is really as simple as you make it sound, why not just write a quick and dirty script to do it yourself?
Set up 1 table in MySQL with the appropriate fields, and a couple PHP scripts to display and add/delete/update the records?
I could probably have this done in under an hour.
there are a few options listed here. I used the wordpress cart plugin once. It wasn't too hard to take out the pricing back and front end code out. I recommend the latter.
If you're just trying to catalog the tools I would suggest Wordpress with a Image/Photo gallery plug-in with a LightBox popup to group them together if needed. Just use the tags to add a description and well as a grouping tag if needed to group the tools together. This is probably not the solution you wanted but it might just be what would work. I was thinking showcase instead of inventory :)

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a class that exists for handling user comments already. I can always write my own, but I figure I wouldn't re-invent the wheel if there is one out there.
Id like to be able to display a comment form, manipulate/validate/sanitize user input, and possibly more functions such as inserting into a database.
If anyone knows of any classes/packages that already implement this sort of thing, I'd love it if they could share.
Thank you,
Aside from collaborating with a 3rd party ASP-style vendor (like Pluck), I'm not sure you're going to find something like this.
I've seen components to support comments in the ORM (such as Commentable Behavior Plugin for Propel within symfony) but that doesn't give you anything in the way of forms, sanitization, display, user validation, etc.
And then there's the question of features: Do you want flaggable comments? Rich HTML? Emoticons? URL Parsing? Nested comments? Moderation tools? Profanity filtering?
I suppose all of this depends heavily on what type of existing system you're adding this to, as well (can you leverage AJAX? MVC? Postbacks? etc) but really I think it's a fairly broad topic which is why you'll probably just want to roll your own.
Another 3rd party option is www.kickapp.com which seems to be pretty decent.
