sorry for the late reply I sometimes dont visit this section for days. I have used dolphin and it was a little hard to get a hang of at first but the free one I posted seems to be easily edited.

I checked dolphin and I think this is the sort of program I was looking for:).. Thank you! Do you get any updates problem or any extensions problem while using dolphin?

You can code it from scratch with Python and Django, for instance.

It would take some extra development time at the beginning, but having full source of the framework (Django) and full source of the web application would pay in the long run.

Ready-made scripts tend to be a pain when you need custom stuff.

On the other hand, if you're happing with the out of the box functionality, ready-made is the way to go.
