Refining the administration panel


Now that all the scaffolds have been created, it is time to refine our administration panel:

We will also display the number of posts associated with each category in the categories list; it will give us an idea of the most used categories.

  • We don't need to create new comments inside the administration panel, so we need to remove the associated links and actions. We also need to do some improvements in the edition form and in the listing.
