3) Developing:
PSM is very simple to integrate in any php site. You can build a site from scrach, using PSM or you can integrate PSM into an existing php site.
For do this you must import psm_lib.php in every page where you want to use PSM.

  • For displaying the admin bar you must place the admin_bar() php function in the page like this:
  • 
              <?echo admin_bar();?>
              
    This code display the admin bar when logged in as administrator or none otherwise.

  • For displaying a content you must call the content(name) function with a name for the content passed as parameter like this:
  • 
              <?echo content("content_name");?>
              
    This code display the content and the editor bar when logged in as administrator or the content for everywhere users.

  • A basic php script as example:
  • 
              <!-- import psm library -->
              <?include_once("psm/psm_lib.php");?>
              
              <html>
              <head>
              <title>Psm Demo</title>
              </head>
              <body>
              
              <!-- call admin bar (visible only if admin is logged in) -->
              <?echo admin_bar();?>
              
              <table border=1 width=100% height=100%>
              <tr>
                <td valign=top>
                
                  <!-- display content with name 'content_1' -->
                  <!-- (edit link is visible only if admin is logged in) -->
                  <?echo content("content_1");?>
                
                </td>
                <td valign=top>
                
                  <!-- display content with name 'content_2' -->
                  <!-- (edit link is visible only if admin is logged in) -->
                  <?echo content("content_2");?>
                
                </td>
                <td valign=top>
                
                  <!-- display content with name 'content_3' -->
                  <!-- (edit link is visible only if admin is logged in) -->
                  <?echo content("content_3");?>
                
                </td>
              </tr>
