<?php
// Load shared functionality first
require_once(__DIR__ . '/../../config/init.php');
require_once(__DIR__ . '/../../includes/shared/auth.php');
require_once(__DIR__ . '/../../includes/shared/helpers.php');

// Check admin access
require_admin();

// Set page variables
$page_title = "Admin Dashboard";
$additional_css = ['custom-admin.css'];
?>

<!-- Include admin header -->
<?php include(__DIR__ . '/../../includes/admin/header.php'); ?>

<body>
    <!-- Include admin navigation -->
    <?php include(__DIR__ . '/../../includes/admin/sidebar.php'); ?>
    <?php include(__DIR__ . '/../../includes/admin/topbar.php'); ?>
