Moderator Menu creation

[jasharen]

Does anyone have a link to a tutorial on creating a menu in the moderator CP?

You'd need to use the mod_index_navigation hook. Take a look at the index.php file in the modcp directory and search the file for the following to see how they are used to create the side groups. Then make a plugin using the mod_index_navigation hook to add your own side groups.

construct_nav_option
construct_nav_group
construct_nav_spacer

Calorie beat me to it

A working example from one of my hacks

PHP Code:

construct_nav_option($vbphrase['modpm_moderate_private_messages'], 'moderate_pm.php?do=list'); 
construct_nav_group($vbphrase['modpm_pm_moderation']);
construct_nav_spacer(); 


Thanks,
Alan.

Perfect, thanks all works like a charm!

I'm a little confused about this. Is there a way to use an XML file made for the AdminCP and have it appear in the ModCP?

[Alan @ CIT]

Unfortunately, no. You have to make a plugin simaler to the one above ^^^ to add menu entries to the ModCP.

Thanks,
Alan.
