Additional Control Panel

[Fuzz]

Hello, I've been lurking on this site for probably 3 years now... I rarely post because I usually find what I need and resolve most of my problems/questions just by searching.

Unfortunately, I have ran into quite the hurdle... Hopefully someone can help. I thought I could work it out myself, but the task has proved harder than I'd imagined.

Anyways - I just need to make a new control panel. basically the same as the mod control panel, but with a different menu on the left. I managed to do this much, and created a new directory titled 'articleconpanel' where article publishers could go and login to view new submitted articles and submit their own.

I copied all the files in the modconpanel over to the new articleconpanel and did some modifications, but I have no idea what to change so my new USERGROUP, Article Managers, can login... and NOT moderators... basically I just want a new control panel.

I hope I was clear on this, I would love any help if anyone even has a foggy idea. Thanks in advance.

While my hack for "Lesser Admin CP" is for vB2 there are some principles of how it was done that may be of use to you to create your own CP :)

If you cannot do it don't fret - When I return from my holiday I may port it to vB 3.0.x and 3.5.x incase anyone will want it :)

Chris - Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.

I did check out your lesser admin CP, it does look like what I need... just another control panel for a usergroup. I wanted to try to modify for 3.0 myself, but I was a little hesitant , I don't want to mess up my DB.

Anyways - I guess I will just wait for your to port this hack for 3.0, I hope to see it soon. Enjoy your holiday.
