TShirtShop needs a carefully designed orders administration page,
where an administrator can quickly see the status of pending orders.
?– Note This chapter doesn??™t intend to help you create a perfect order administration system but rather
something that is simple and functional enough to get you on the right track.
CHAPTER 14 ?– ACCEPTING CUSTOMER ORDERS 442
The orders administration part of the site will consist of two componentized templates
named admin_orders and admin_order_details.
When the administrator clicks the ORDERS ADMIN link, the admin.php page loads the
admin_orders componentized template that offers the capability to filter the orders. When first
loaded, it offers you various ways of selecting orders, as shown in Figure 14-5.

Before creating the admin_orders and the admin_order_details componentized templates,
we need to modify admin.php to load these componentized templates and also modify
admin_menu.
