Gert	Thursday 02 April 2009 1:03:21 am I usually link to my extensions on the right admin bar or right developer bar as follows: 1) duplicate and rename one of the templates in design/admin/templates/toolbar/full (eg. admin_bookmarks.tpl to "yourtemplate.tpl") 2) adapt this template, include the links you need and eliminate stuff you don't 3) open settings/siteaccess/plain_site_admin/toolbar.ini.append.php and make sure you have the following section: [Tool] AvailableToolArray[] AvailableToolArray[]=yourtemplate 4) return to the admin interface, go to design/toolbars and select either admin_right or admin_right_developer (depending on whether you want your section to appear in the first or second block) 5) "yourtemplate" will now appear in the select box as a possible tool to add That's it! I guess there are more sophisticated ways to do this, but I believe this is a viable solution as well! Best regards, Gert canguro web solutions consulting & development http://www.canguro.at

I usually link to my extensions on the right admin bar or right developer bar as follows:

1) duplicate and rename one of the templates in design/admin/templates/toolbar/full (eg. admin_bookmarks.tpl to "yourtemplate.tpl")

2) adapt this template, include the links you need and eliminate stuff you don't

3) open settings/siteaccess/plain_site_admin/toolbar.ini.append.php and make sure you have the following section:

[Tool]
AvailableToolArray[]
AvailableToolArray[]=yourtemplate

4) return to the admin interface, go to design/toolbars and select either admin_right or admin_right_developer (depending on whether you want your section to appear in the first or second block)

5) "yourtemplate" will now appear in the select box as a possible tool to add

That's it! I guess there are more sophisticated ways to do this, but I believe this is a viable solution as well!

Best regards,

Hi DonBlogger

There are some other extensions adding tabs to the admin interface, you will find them here: http://projects.ez.no/types/ez_publish/admin_interface_integration/menu_tab. Look at the settings in menu.ini. Good luck!
