this is a very handy hack! ^_^ i would like it though if the menus (like the default menu) would be auto open and not have to click that arrow to drop it down. but very good. (2 thumbs up)

I had one or two hacks that didn't wanna move in the new menu, what I did I opened the hack and removed the displayorder="*" in them.

I really love this hack, it should be part of vb next version, maybe with alittle more control for display order. 3 stars

Yeah! One of the hacks were custom links, I deleted the displayorder="60" from cpnav_custom_links that is located in the xml dir.

Hey the new upgrade isn't working now,

Uninstall old and install new.

Add new menu and nothing changes.

Any Ideas!?

The plugin got moved into a seperate file in the 'plugins' directory. Make sure you have uploaded it.

I just installed on 3.5.2 and it works without issue. Outstanding hack. I agree this should be built into VB. It really goes a long way towards organizing the admincp.

I like it.
Installed

Heres a tip : Add 4 links at the bottom.

Expand All | Collapse All
Save Prefs | Revert Prefs

for the super menus


It requires adding cookie commands, I believe.
