How To: Adding shortcuts to the backend menu

Just figured I'd post this to make it easier on others.  Not difficult, but some (like me) prefer cut and pasting. wink

I was tried of the quirky menu system on the backend and got tired of having to navigate thru several menus to find what i needed.  i often found myself going to the same (Edit skin) section constantly so I dug around and found where to add shortcuts.

Go to:

Code:

Application Menu > Kryptronic Hybrid X Core > Displays: Skins, Menus, XHTML Includes and Messages > Manage XHTML Includes

On page 2 you'll click:

Code:

BackEnd Popular Actions Menu

After the end of the code there's the last "if" statement and tags to close the unordered list menu:

Code:

} // End of if statement.

?>
</ul>
</li>

Just add your shortcut to the end of the menu as such:

Code:

<li class="khxc_benavmore"><strong>My Shortcuts</strong>
<ul>
<li><a href="URL TO YOUR SHORTCUT" title="SHORTCUT TITLE">LINK TEXT FOR SHORTCUT</a></li>
</ul></li>

For example:

Code:

<li class="khxc_benavmore"><strong>My Shortcuts</strong>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.your-store.com/khxc/your-admin-file.php?app=khxc&ns=skinupdate&ref=skin.myskin1" title="Edit MySkin1">Edit MySkin1</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.your-store.com/khxc/your-admin-file.php?app=khxc&ns=skinupdate&ref=skin.myskin2" title="Edit MySkin2">Edit MySkin2</a></li>
</ul></li>

The result will be a new menu item on your backend menu called "My Shortcuts".  Hovering over it will spill our your new shortcuts.  In the above example, it would add shortcuts to edit two of your display skins.

Re: How To: Adding shortcuts to the backend menu

I agree.  Dave - Can you add this to the wiki?  This can be done in the main skin.php file for the KHXCMI2 skin.  That would be a better spot.

Re: How To: Adding shortcuts to the backend menu

I was hoping you'd chime in Nick - I was sure the ideal place to add that would NOT be in the "Popular Items" menu since you're technically adding a new menu altogether.
