Description: This views your Forum Home Page in your admincp when you click Forum Home Page in your admincp in the right hand corner or you can click New which will do the default.

This is a simple tweak, it really bugs me when I have to have two windows open on my site to do work.

Open your admincp/index.php and modcp/index.php file
Find:
<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $vbphrase['forum_home_page']; ?></a>
|
<a href="index.php?<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']; ?>do=cplogout" onclick="return confirm('<?php echo $vbphrase['sure_you_want_to_log_out_of_cp']; ?>');" target="_top"><?php echo $vbphrase['log_out']; ?></a>

Replace with:
<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $vbphrase["new"]; ?></a>
|
<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target=""><?php echo $vbphrase['forum_home_page']; ?></a>

Your done!

Don't take offence, but i hate you? I really really doo! Last night i was trying to figure out how to change that little link at the top to show in the main frame, this mod was my idea!! Curse you theif! CURSEE!!!!

Owell, guess i will save my time and just use yours? Also i will see how you did it :| I cant belive how hard it is to edit the admin cp, the forums are so easy, then the admin cp is like not even in english programming >_>

Thanks theif, i mean shazz ^^ Installed

[redlabour]

Very usefull - waiting for a Product!

[Luky]

Are you that lazy to make one file change?

[Tanabe]

Well I edited my index.php file in my admin folder like it says to do so but It still doesn't work. I just get taked to the forum like it did when I didn't edit the file.

Edit: Nevermind, get out of my admincp then go back in for it to work. ^^

Thanks!

Installed :)

Well anyway, i dont care if people use yours or mine to be honest. I dont plan on updating mine as it does all it needs to do!

Very nice hack! For the longest time I've been trying to figure that out too :rolleyes:

Anyway, I tweak it out because I didn't want to lose the 'Log_off' feature so here's what I did:

<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $vbphrase['forum_home_page']; ?></a>
|
<a href="../<?php echo $vbulletin->options['forumhome']; ?>.php<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']; ?>" target=""><?php echo $vbphrase['forum_home_page_2']; ?></a>
|
<a href="index.php?<?php echo $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']; ?>do=cplogout" onclick="return confirm('<?php echo $vbphrase['sure_you_want_to_log_out_of_cp']; ?>');" target="_top"><?php echo $vbphrase['log_out']; ?></a>


I also went into the Phrase Manager and added another phrase in the Control Panel Global instead of using 'New'. I simply called it forum_home_page_2 and the text I used was Forum Home Page (CP) - that way I'll know which one will open a new window and which one will open in the CP. Figured I'd let you know for future upgrade ;)

Thanks for the great idea :D

I just took a guess that most people wouldn't use that log out button. You could view the forum through admincp and hit log out there too, but either way :)
Good thought on the phrases, I wanted to make this very simple in one step.

[Roughnek29]

:confused:I cant make it work

[Luky]

Then try mine!

[Roughnek29]

How do you do it, I cant open admincp/index.php

[Shazz]

How do you do it, I cant open admincp/index.php

You can't open the file thats in your FTP folder?
Have you done right click edit?

[Roughnek29]

Yeah I got it open with publisher. Will that work?

[bazzup]

yeah just locate the text and change it

[Roughnek29]

I got it to work, thank you.

[DssCrazy]

I love this tool, but i got rid of it as soon as i seen i could no longer log out of my admin cp,you guys should add the button to log out that would make this perfect.

Cheers.

[DssCrazy]

After the week of my comment getting no where, i decided to fix this for you!
