Adding Edit Templates Shortcut to Left Menu in AdminCP

[SaN-DeeP]

How this can be done.
Its just a waste of time maximum no. of times to goto Style manager select from list menu edit templates and then it appears
Is there a simpe way to add a shortcut for same directly on left menu ?

I am just using the default vb3 style.
i am sure, this lil trick will help lots of users, saving ample of time :)

Like I have Add New Phrase on left menu @ the moment under Phrase Manager Group.
i am sure i am not asking about modiying the code.
i just want to display Edit Templates on my left menu
@ the moment i have to do 3 clicks everytime to get that. and it is used very frequently by me.

thnx.

Yeah that is handy. I have it set up that way in my admincp. :) It does require a single file edit.

In admincp/index.php find:

construct_nav_option($vbphrase['search_in_templates'], 'template.php?do=search', '<br />');


Below it add:

construct_nav_option($vbphrase['edittplates'], 'template.php?s=&do=modify&expandset=3&group=all', '<br />');


In the code above where it says &expandset=3 you'll need to change that number to the template set # you want to edit by default. Also, I think "edittplates" is a standard phrase but I can't remember.. So you might have to add that phrase.

Sandy,
You'll need to add a new phrase called "edit_templates" and it will show up. ;)

Admin CP >> Languages & Phrases >> Add new phrase:

varname: edit_templates
Text: Edit Templates
