View Forums From CP

[ickie]

This simple Mod will let you ,
View Your Forums From Your Admin CP,
This works well if you use a wide screen monitor.

go to your forums root
open admincp folder
look for index.php

File to edit =1, "index.php"

find this line about line 165
<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo
$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo
$vbphrase['forum_home_page']; ?></a>

Change to
<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo
$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target=""><?php echo
$vbphrase['forum_home_page']; ?></a>

Note ... the only thing I changed was (target="_blank") to (target="")

Shouldn't this be in template mods?

[EnIgMa1234]

[Distance]

I've been doing this for a while, but while browsing the forums within the Admincp, after a period of time if you click any of the admin links it wants you to log back in.

thefailure,
go to vBulletin Options/Admin Control Panel Options/Timeout Admin Login and click yes

go to vBulletin Options/Cookies and HTTP Header Options/Session Timeout
I have in mine set to 2400 (this is 40 minutes)

Hmmmmm, I wonder. In "Who's Online". Will tell people that your in the admin cp or where your browsing?

[ragtek]

[ragtek]

if you change it to target="main" and not target="" it would be nicer and more right ;)

Go to your forum manager.
Click ANY forum you like.
And reach the same effect.

Or am I saying stupid things :(?
