On the Left Menu

Right below vBulletin Options I want to add some custom things

Downloads
-Downloads Manager (admin_dl_cats.php)
-Add to Downloads (admin_dl_add.php)

Roster
-Roster Manager (admin_roster_manage.php)
-Add User to Roster (admin_roster_add.php)

I'll be adding more, these are just a few... could anyone help me?

You could have a look a plugin which uses the plugin manager to add code to the admincp nav, as I don't know.

However, I was wondering: why do you add this to the admincp? You might aswell add it to the file itself, no?

I have 4 or 5 other admins on the site that will be able to control this. So I need for them to be able to easily find it as not all of them are geniuses when it comes to panels.

I was thinking there was a nav file... but didn't know which one it was. I will do some looking around.

I like this place, I might be advertising it on the site when I release the new version.

In vB 3.0.x you indeed could simply edit the admincp/index.php file to add some links to the navigation. I'm not sure how this works for vB 3.5 though, as I never use this function really.

What I do is simply add the administration to the file I use. For example, providing your downloads file is called downloads.php, you could add downloads.php?do=adddownload and downloads.php?do=manage to the actual list, and display it for admins only. You can set these permissions for your hack using the admincp, take a look at LiveWire's howto on this if you want to know how.

Imo it's a lot easier adding the links and administration to the file itself, as this doesn't require your admins to log into the admincp.

This calls for another tutorial!
