Now, before youthink, i want to add apage to the current admincp directory, i already know how (heres a link) I want to make an entirely new Controll pannel, with just the links that i need, and would like to manage... so there would be no style editor, no Plugins... just the ones that i want!

Hmm maybe ask AJ then.

You could ;

1. Edit your permissions to only show those you want.

2. Edit cpnav_vbulletin.xml to remove those options you don't want.

i asked aj, he said

Aj: recreate admincp
Aj: thats my tip

aj, likes for me to figure things out on my own... and im quite bad at it... lol

I don't see how figuring it out on your own includes asking someone else.

Anyway, I made a new folder for the new CP, and put the admincp global.php and index.php in it. Begin tweaking.

I think I actually hardcoded the XML parser for the navigation to just read one file, or something like that.

The biggest problem was with the logins, you'll have to create a new login method (for lack of a better term), and specify that in your login form. You'll also have to add a new case in one of the login hooks (check login.php). Make sure you do your own security check and set $checkpwd = 1; if they don't meet it.

I'm still not sure if I did the login session stuff correctly (or did at all, I don't remember), but it was definitely something I am still iffy about. Anyway, you'll figure it out, just might take a lot of tweaking.
