This has been a short chapter, since we had only one task to accomplish—changing the welcome message on the homepage. This was our first attempt at modifying the content of the PHP-Nuke site, but in doing so we were introduced to many things that we will see again in the next few chapters, and which you will be using frequently as you work on your own PHP-Nuke sites.
Before we began editing the message, we created the super user account. The super user account has ultimate control over a PHP-Nuke site, and it is particularly important that this account information is kept secure.
In the role of the super user, we edited the welcome message from the homepage through a link that had appeared exclusively for that user. We had our first look at the administration area, and entered content into PHP-Nuke.
Finally, we discussed how PHP-Nuke classifies visitors to the site, and how permissions to parts of the site or pieces of content can be managed through this classification.
