// Main content controller
var $uses = array(
    'Page', 'Video', 'Gallery', 'Phone', 'Promo',
    'Estado', 'Ciudade', 'Register', 'User', 'Denuncia', 'Locale'
);

​

Database Schema

Routing & Prefixes

This enables admin routes like:
  • /bcknaciones/users/index - Backend user management
  • /bcknaciones/pages/add - Backend content creation
