# Admin I/F Hacking?

 * I’ve read about modifying the Admin interface on previous versions of WP, but
   with the new filters and hooks it seems that you can do lots without changing
   any of the code base! Any pointers, articles, etc., on this? What I’m thinking
   about doing, based upon what I’ve read:
 * – change the Write/Publish page set based upon user level
    – modify order of 
   fields, look, entry of metafields. – exposing certain category subtrees based
   upon user level, and updating other categories in the background based upon metafield
   entries – mimicing different sorts of content entries, like blog entry, event
   entry, photo gallery entry – a nice to have would be in-page edit instead of 
   launching the Admin i/f. I know I could do this with the page template, didn’t
   know if there’s a slicker method.
 * Looks like this can be done, but I’d appreciate any pointers!
 * TIA, M.
