Load your product details page, and ensure everything works the way it should. You have a lot of functionality
to test! Figures 11-4 and 11-5 show the product details admin page in action.
How It Works: Administering Product Details
No administrative feature is fun to implement, but what you??™ve accomplished so far is quite impressive. Your shop
administrators can now edit a product??™s name, description, and price; delete products from the database or from
just a category; assign a product to one or more categories; and manage product attributes and pictures.
At this moment you??™re offering all the important features that are necessary to administer a web site like TShirtShop.
We will, however, add yet another feature that will make the life of our shop administrators much easier: in-store
administration links.
Creating In-Store Administration Links
Right now, the administration page delivers all the important requirements: administrators can
manage the catalog departments, categories, products, and their attributes. In the last part of
this chapter, we implement an additional feature, which makes the administrator??™s task a little
bit easier. This feature consists of Edit buttons, such as the Edit Department Details and Edit
Product Details buttons you can see in Figure 11-6. These buttons show up only if the visitor is
authenticated as an administrator and take him or her directly to the item administrative page.
