Admin Interfaces
DocPad Admin Interfaces were deprecated in DocPad v6.81​
​DocPad's plan from the very beginning has been to be interface agnostic. This means that we will be able to utilise existing interfaces, customer interfaces, and decoupled interfaces. Allowing us to always utilise the best experiences for everyone involved.
Existing Interfaces
DocPad's plugin/extension infrastructure supports existing coupled interfaces by importing their data directly into the DocPad Database. So if you love using Tumblr, WordPress, Medium, MongoDB, or GitHub repos for your content, you don't have to give them up. Just install the importer plugin for them, and DocPad will import the data from that service into the DocPad database for rendering.
​downloader - Download (and optionally extract) files into your project, used in the Bootstrap Skeleton to pull in Bootstrap​
​repocloner - Clone repos into your project, awesome for creating wikis​
​tumblr - Imports Tumblr data directly into your DocPad Database, used in the Syte Skeleton to pull in Tumblr data
​mongodb - Imports collections from MongoDB.
​cloudant - Imports collections from Cloudant (CouchDB)
Custom Interfaces
DocPad's plugin/extension infrastructure supports custom Admin Interfaces tightly coupled to the DocPad experience. So far we have the following extensions that add Admin Interfaces to DocPad:
​DocPad Collections Editor - A simple WYSIWYG editor for DocPad Collections
​MiniCMS - Adds an admin interface to DocPad
​CMS Docpad - Lightweight CMS UI with WYSIWYG editor for pages and parts
Decoupled Interfaces
DocPad's plugin/extension infrastructure supports existing decoupled interfaces by providing plugin/extension adapters to the interface allowing the interface to interact directly with the DocPad Database, or theoretically any backend providing an interface was made for it. So far we have the following extensions that add Decoupled Interfaces to DocPad:
​Use Prose with DocPad to create a Wiki - Tutorial on how to use Prose.io as an Admin Interface for DocPad
​WebWrite's InlineGUI (not yet ready) - Edit your content from any backend with this inline editing interface
​Edit & Deploy with GitHub.com & GHpages Plugin - Wiki on how to use GitHub.com to edit your DocPad website and then DocPad's ghpages plugin to deploy to GitHub Pages.
