Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Ashish Prajapati, a TYBCA student at R.K. Desai College of Computer and Applied Science. Welcome back to my CRM project journey! This week, I’ve made significant progress by enhancing the Admin Panel, integrating jQuery for a seamless user experience, and implementing update and delete operations for the Customer Management module. Let’s dive into the details!
🏗️ Admin Panel Structure
To manage the CRM more effectively, I created an admin folder with its own structure:
-
includefolder: Houses reusable components like navbar, sidebar, and footer. -
assetsfolder: Stores styles and scripts specific to the admin interface.
The main entry point is index.php, which is divided into four modular frames:
-
Navbar (
_Nav.php): For global navigation. -
Sidebar (
_Sidebar.php): For quick access to CRM modules. -
Footer (
_Footer.php): For consistent branding and links. -
Mainframe (
home.php): Displays the content of the selected module.
🖥️ Dynamic Module Navigation
The mainframe (home.php) updates dynamically based on the navigation in the sidebar. For example:
- Clicking on Dashboard loads the analytics overview.
- Selecting Leads shows the lead management module.
This modular approach ensures scalability, as I can easily add new features without restructuring the entire admin panel.

🏠 Home Module Implementation
The home module serves as the default view of the admin panel. It welcomes the user and provides shortcuts to common actions like viewing leads, customers, or tasks. I’ve also implemented form validation to ensure all inputs are secure and properly formatted before submission.

💡 Integration of jQuery
To enhance user experience, I’ve integrated jQuery for handling dynamic UI interactions and AJAX requests. Some of the key implementations include:
- Real-time form validation: Fields are validated dynamically without reloading the page.
- Dynamic table updates: AJAX-based updates to customer data ensure smooth user interactions.
- Interactive modals: Modals for editing or deleting customer records use jQuery for a polished interface.
This integration has significantly improved the responsiveness and usability of the CRM.
🔄 Customer Management: Update & Delete Operations
I’ve implemented update and delete functionality for the Customer Management module, allowing admins to:
- Edit customer records: Directly update customer details like name, email, or status.
- Delete customer records: Safely remove customer data with confirmation prompts.
Here’s how it works:
- The customer data is displayed in a table format.
- Using the edit option, an admin can update fields, and the changes are reflected immediately.
- The delete option triggers a confirmation modal before removing the record permanently.
Both operations leverage jQuery and AJAX for real-time updates, ensuring a seamless workflow.
🔐 Validation Features
To maintain data integrity and enhance security, I’ve added form validations across all modules:
- Client-side validation: Using JavaScript and jQuery for quick user feedback.
- Server-side validation: Using PHP to prevent incorrect or malicious data.
🛠️ Lessons Learned & Next Steps
Adding jQuery has been a game-changer, making the CRM more dynamic and user-friendly. Implementing update and delete operations taught me how to handle CRUD operations efficiently. Next, I plan to:
- Expand the Customer Management module with advanced filtering and search options.
- Add role-based access control for secure user management.
Stay tuned for more updates as I continue this journey! Feel free to share feedback or suggestions in the comments. 😊
