Dual Admin Navigation

[trafix]

This Hack will add a second menu to the admin area of your forum thus giving you a new menu for your hack functions while keeping the main navigation menu in its original state.

I posted 2 screenies, one from each menu :)

4 new phrases

3 file edits

Support for this hack will be given here!

Enjoy

P.S. Please click install ;)

i see this is for 3.0.5 will it work with 3.0.3 ?

[trafix]

i presume that it will work for earlier versions, however the upgrade to 3.0.5 is criticle and should be done to fill the security hole.

[Floris]

Nice job! You're back on track trafix.

[trafix]

Tnx Floris :)

[trafix]

Just a thought...

Alternativly you could re arrange the menus so that the function that you use most are on the 1st menu and the least used functions are on the second :)

You may need to change the wording for the nav text drop box

Didn't you post this before the HTL was released? ;)

It's a cool idea, but IIRC there aren't that many hacks on vB3 that add a whole new option block on the Admin CP menu.. Arcade, uShop and possibly vB Journal. There may be others that I've not installed though.

All of the vBa hacks do now as well

Yep i did code it for vb3 beta ... but not here .... ive released it now :)

Yep i realise that there arnt many at the moment that adds admin nav functions, but im sure more will be developed in the future ;)

[BarHopper]

Nice hack, but too late for me, i'd have to re-do things.

[trafix]

sorry to hear that :(

but if it is only admin link codes that you have added to your index.php then it should be easy to install this hack and move the code from the first menu code to the second one :)

[PixelFx]

thanks I was looking for someone to make this, works great on 3.0.5

The only thing that I see, installed on 3.0.3, is that when you go from one menu to the other (regardless of main to hack or hack to main), in the right hand window is shown the menu panel itself again.

Maybe I slipped up in the code somewhere, but I don't see it.

However, regardless of this little complaint (and it's not really a complaint, seriously!), this is an awesome hack that just cleaned up my admin section tremendously. Great, amazing, awesome hack here!!!

hmm, not sure y it is doing that for .... but it was designed to keep your admin area tidy so i suppose you could call it "Great, amazing, awesome" :)

Thanks .... Enjoy!

I've discovered that it only happens in Firefox. In Explorer, it works perfectly without a hitch at all.

The second screen is good.great hack but its doiing that to me too, also now how do i put all my hacked optiond on ther cause the still all show on the main and in the hack there are none yet.

[trafix]

you have to edit the index.php and move the admin menu code to between

// ********************* Add hack nav function code below here *********************

// ********************* Add hack nav function code above here *********************

[Thanatos]

Any word on the fix for this?

[Jenta]

what i think it needs is target="_self' but not sure how to add that in php files

construct_nav_option2(construct_phrase($vbphrase['hack_menu']), 'index.php?do=nav2', '<br />');



construct_nav_option2(construct_phrase($vbphrase['hack_menu']), 'index.php?do=nav2 target="_self"', '<br />');
? :nervous: not sure if it will do the " properly

* Revan installs :)
I severely need this for RPG Integration Hack, because it is adding a number of option groups equal to a fair portion of the native vB ;)
Also, to fix the bug with it duplicating:
In includes/adminfunctions_navpanel, find
$options[] = "\t\t<div class=\"navlink-normal\" onclick=\"nav_goto('$url$sessionlink');\" onmouseover=\"this.className='navlink-hover';\" onmouseout=\"this.className='navlink-normal'\"><a href=\"$url$sessionlink\"$bubblefix target=\"nav\">$title</a>$_extra</div>\n";

Replace with
$options[] = "\t\t<div class=\"navlink-normal\" onclick=\"location='$url$sessionlink';\" onmouseover=\"this.className='navlink-hover';\" onmouseout=\"this.className='navlink-normal'\"><a href=\"$url$sessionlink\"$bubblefix target=\"nav\">$title</a>$_extra</div>\n";- works for me :)

Thnx, it's works for me too :squareeyed:

[eXtremeTim]

Great hack. I will be installing soon. Seeing as my acp side nav is more than double the original size already. ;)

[tomshawk]

Has anyone got this working in 3.0.7

this is the error I get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_nav_option2() in /home/techunit/public_html/forums/admincpdir/index.php on line 549

this is line 549 construct_nav_option2(construct_phrase($vbphrase['refresh_current']), 'index.php?do=nav', '<br />');

Any help would be greatly appriciated

Never mind, I'm an idiot!!!

Thank you for an excellent hack

clicked install of course ;)

[sabret00the]

was gonna pm you but couldn't :( but wondered if you plan to port this to 3.5 or if you'd allow someone else to do so?
