Easy Access
This is an admin control panel navigation menu that allows you to have easy access to many functions in your ACP, many of which normally require many clicks to get to the proper option menu.
For instance, I always found it somewhat annoying that, in order to edit a template, I had to click on "Styles & Templates," then "Style Manager," then choose "Edit Templates" and then click on the "<<>>" button to expand all of the templates. With this ACP navigation menu all you have to do is click on "edit Templates" to get to the same menu.
This comes in two versions, which are both included in the .zip file: one for regular vb users, and another for people that have
TMS (Template Modification System) installed. Upload whichever one you want to use. In the pictures above, the one on the left is the TMS version, and the one on the right is the regular (non-TMS) version.
All permissions are set according to vb standards. In the TMS version, canadminstyles is the permission for the TMS settings.
This should work in all 3.6.X vb versions.
Installation:
Choose which version you wish to upload, and upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forum directory via ftp. Then login to your Admin Control panel and look in the navigation menu for a new navigation option called "Easy Access." No file edits or products to upload - just upload one file.
NOTE: The
cpnav_easyaccess.xml file should go to:
forum/includes/xml/
cpnav_easyaccess.xml
enjoy!
