We need an admin interface to manage the site

[cndreisbach]

We need to install and set up ActiveAdmin. We should have a dashboard that shows the latest books added and the most used tags, at a minimum.

It would also be great if we could merge two books that were the same through the admin interface.

Need to add method in application controller and session helper to limit active admin to authorized users Need to add an AdminUser to manage admins

[andrewhooge]

This is completed to minimum spec.

Warnings:

• I'm using rails 2.1.1 so you should update to 2.1.2 in gems
• Active Admin Installed
• Dashboard shows latest books and videos
• Sort books and videos by tag
• Sort most used tags

Challenges:

• Could not authenticate admin (properly) without breaking app.
• Creating Roles without workaround

Needs

• Updated authentication that includes allowing admin to log in to user app and redirect to admin
• Allow roles so that only admin can create new books or videos
• Improve organization of admin interface (optimally have 10 most popular books and videos added on dashboard)
• Allow admin to make user an admin and send email with token to confirm
