Total noob question here

how do you use admin template like this..say for a PHP website on a VPS? How do you "connect" the templates with the data? Been googling for a while but to no avail. I would really like to have something like this as traffic monitoring and customer support interface

You include the css and make sure you render the appropriate HTML with your serverside scripts. It's fairly easy, you just need to make sure you output the right HTML and include all static assets like css, js and icons.

I don't think that that's what the OP was asking.

lousy_sysadmin: it really depends on what data you ar trying to display. You'll probably have to roll your own code that will collect the data you want, from the services that collect it. And then display it in the correct way, as risratorn said above.
