You're Back Hambil :D very nice

[RedeemedWarrior]

AWESOME!!

I have been looking for something like this :D

[RedDevil]

very nice will give this a look

[RedDevil]

One quick question is it possible to change the default to another title for example "Main Setting" if so where do i need to change this :)


other wise this is excellent.

[OcR Envy]

Fantastic idea, Installed and Nominated.

I'd LOVE too see a sort option for the vBulletin Options listbox!

[Frank Sinatra]

thankss a lot really nice!
nominated of course :)

Yes. There is an 'edit' link next to the default menu (and all super menus). Actually, now that I remember, the name default can't be changed for coding reasons. However, you can (and I often do this) move everything out of the default menu into some other menu. Empty super menus don't display.

That's a separate modification I've already written and just need to test a bit.

[Allan]

thanks will try that :)


Edit: nope default still shows even when empty. maybe next update a rename option or call it settings :)

[RedDevil]

I have another request too for a future update, is it possible for Super Administrator to view certain menu's only as i have 2 levels of administrators on my site

[Dr. Bantham]

Many thanks for this one!

I just added a new product (Advanced Query Matic (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=194822)) and it is not displaying within the ACP menu. If I disable cpSuperMenu, it appears. Is there an issue with adding new menu components?

Incidentally, I have created new supermenus to organize to my taste and Default is empty, should this be relevant.

Not that I'm aware of. They should show up under Default and then you can move them wherever you want.

[Black Tiger]

Just what I needed, thank you for this very nice mod!:)

[der_darkon]

Great Mod!

[the.code]

will it work with 3.7 ? i wud love to use this :d

[hambil]

Works fine of 3.6 - current.

[the.code]

ur other hacks will work for 3.7 too ? i love ur hacks u made things i wud love too use

[hambil]

[tk] Settings Sort and [tk] Super Menu should work fine on 3.6 and above. I haven't tested any of the others outside of 3.8.

[Rene Kriest]

Simply awesome!

You made my vb day. My adminCP lacks structure and a clear view due to the many addons that add a menu group on their own to the adminCP.

agreed. I will definitely try this out.

Thanks hambil. It's good to have you back!

[Detomah]

Fantastic mod, been in need of something like this for a long time, just never got round to doing it for myself. So much better organised now.

[rule0]

good idea, very handy. thanks

[rule0]

oops, i forgot i posted before. sorry for double post.
I'm amazed by this mod. this is perfect! thank you :up:

[qbn720]

Very nice, installed, tagged and nominated...

[Haenk]

When I go to the menu "Change Super Menu Settings"
the column "hr" doesn't show the saved settings.

the settings are saved, but not loaded for changes in that menu.

Sorry for my bad english.

[ArcadeSyndicate]

works fine, thx a lot :up:

[TheSupportForum]

i would really like to see my moderators have this available to them too
i would like to customise a menu for all moderators when they log in

[Stoebi]

It is possible to define some Menu-Settings (vBulletin-Settings, Announcements)
outside from the Default for quick access?

[hambil]

No, but it does respect the "Save Prefs" at the top of the cp menu. So you could create a super menu called "quick access", open it, and click save prefs and it will always be open when you go to the admincp.

[hambil]

I think that would be a different hack. The moderator menu doesn't grow like the admincp one does. Also, this mod doesn't restrict anyone from seeing things, it just organizes what they can already see.

[RedDevil]

Found a rather big problem.

I have just redone the super menu's and while trying to edit and rename i found this problem:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Invalid SQL:

This error is occuring if the title of the menu has the "&" in for example "Maintenance & Logs", you cannot edit or delete the menu.

Thanks, I'll get on it.

[Ohiosweetheart]

I absolutely LOVE this mod!!! Having OCD, and needing things orderly and organized, the acp menu has long been a PIMA. This will ease my stress level when I log in to my acp.

Thank you hambil!

[hambil]

Having OCD, and needing things orderly and organized
You'll probably want this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=208213), too, then. :p

[Ohiosweetheart]

haha. As strange as it sounds, I can't mess with the vB options settings. I've memorized where everything is , so I'd be lost if I did.
But thanks!

[RedDevil]

any news on my error above yet?

[hambil]

Sorry - I forgot - have a lot going on. I'll have a fix up later today.

[Theater]

Wow... that's so much better. Thank you so much!

[hambil]

It's turned out to be trickier than expected, but I am still working on it. Odd little annoying problem lol

[RedDevil]

no probs will keep my eye on it :)

[hambil]

I've actually got it fixed now, just nailing a couple other bugs while I'm there.

[hambil]

Updated to fix a couple bugs - finally. Thank you for your patience.

[RTMdotORG]

Ok....if your having the problem of not being able to change default...

Open the Product xml

Find:
(1, 'Default', 10)

Replace the 10 with what order number you want it be be...
change default to the name you want it to be....

[RedDevil]

Thanks updating

[Sofia]

Very godd hack ! Thanks a lot, hambil ;)

[OcR Envy]

Just the heads up, turning on 'vB_Datastore_Filecache' in config.php breaks this mod :(

[hambil]

So does using the custom datastore cache in vB Optimize. Nothing I can do about it, as near as I can tell so far.

Edit: To clarify - nothing nasty happens - no error messages or such. You just get the old menus instead of the super menus.

not having that problem :)
vboptimize does nothing different, in fact, when i installed it, when looking at the vbulletin options.... it didnt say super menus, it was somethin else, but when i flushed, it showed the name and everything worked fine...:up:

[OcR Envy]

Yea never had any issues with vB Optimize as well.

Awesome!

Installed, Nominated and Loved.

Randomly showed up on my menus today. Not sure what if anything changed.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge (http://www.outcastreborn.com/ocr_overlord/function.array-merge)]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/class_cpsupermenu.php on line 395

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/plugins/cpsupermenu_admin_index_navigation.php on line 26

Tried uninstall , reinstall, enable/disable same error. The custom menus gets displayed below the error regardless. However the "Default" menu shows up even though I do not use this menu.

[OcR Envy]

Bump, nothing?

[OcR Envy]

Uninstalled, no support :(

[RTMdotORG]

Uninstalled, no support :(

follow the instructions as shown...
if you have vboptimise...flush afterwards
if problem persists,
you may have another mod reacting to it, disable your mods one by one and go from there...

[dancue]

Would be cool to also organize the options when you click on vbulletin options.

[loonytune15]

Thanks for this hack, been trying to find it everywhere.

Hope this new hack for the option is coming along nicely.

[Nickbe]
