Admin Location

[PapaFrizArcade]

Hi,

I have your BADGES and AWESOME RATINGS mods (and your SIMPLE VIDEO EMBEDDER MOD).  All three create their own sections in ADMIN.  Is there any way to move them to either the MODIFICATIONS section,  or the POSTS section... or at least combine them to have a SMFHACKS section? 

Thanks!

In SMF 2.1 not easily. The mods are now written to use hooks instead of file edits in the admin menu areas.
Would require removing the hook menu code from each mod. Then replacing it with file edits. Admin.php

For instance for awesome post ratings in admin.php

Code: [Select]

'manageboards' => array(
'label' => $txt['admin_boards'],
'file' => 'ManageBoards.php',
'function' => 'ManageBoards',
'icon' => 'boards',
'permission' => array('manage_boards'),
'subsections' => array(
'main' => array($txt['boards_edit']),
'newcat' => array($txt['mboards_new_cat']),
'settings' => array($txt['settings'], 'admin_forum'),
),
),

Add after

Code: [Select]

'awesome' => array(
'label' => $txt['awepost_admin'],
'file' => 'AwesomePostRatings2.php',
'function' => 'AwesomeMain',
'custom_url' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=awesome;sa=adminset',
'icon' => (!function_exists("set_tld_regex") ? 'server.gif' : 'awesome.png'),
'subsections' => array(
    'adminset' => array($txt['awepost_txt_settings']),
'ratingtypes' => array($txt['awepost_ratingstypelist']),
),
),),
),

Then delete the code inside awesomepost_admin_areas in AwesomePostRatingsHook.php

The downside is that anytime the mod updates you have to redo the change. Or if you uninstall/reinstall the mod.

Seems like it's one of those "the amount of work necessary isn't worth the final result" kinds of things. 

Thank you...
