More Navigation and Clock in Admin CP

[uksoreeyes]

Ok Made a mod for the Admin CP which I spend most of my days trying to figure out what I can add to make my life that little bit easier.

I thought it would be a nice idea to have the date and time displayed. Also by moving a few links around seemed to make things more accessible.
--------------------
Open admin/index.php
Remember to back up this file before you edit it

Find:

Code: [Select]

<b><a href="<?php echo $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH); ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $lang['goto_homepage']; ?></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>And delete it.

Now find:

Code: [Select]

<b><a href=<?php echo $site_sess->url("home.php?action=home"); ?> target=main>Control Panel Home</a></b>And delete it.

Next find:

Code: [Select]

Version: <b><?php echo SCRIPT_VERSION; ?></b>Replace with:

Code: [Select]

<?php echo date("l d F, Y");
echo <<<END
<span id=tick2>
</span>

<script>
<!--

/*By JavaScript Kit

*/

function show2(){
if (!document.all&&!document.getElementById)
return
thelement=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("tick2"): document.all.tick2
var Digital=new Date()
var hours=Digital.getHours()
var minutes=Digital.getMinutes()
var seconds=Digital.getSeconds()
var dn="pm"
if (hours<12)
dn="am"
if (hours>12)
hours=hours-12
if (hours==0)
hours=12
if (minutes<=9)
minutes="0"+minutes
var ctime=hours+":"+minutes+""+dn
thelement.innerHTML="&nbsp;"+ctime+""
setTimeout("show2()",1000)
}
window.onload=show2
//-->
</script>
END;

?>Please be sure that there is no spaces after END; and echo <<<END

Find:

Code: [Select]

show_nav_header($lang['nav_categories_main']);
show_nav_option($lang['nav_categories_edit'], "categories.php?action=modifycats");
show_nav_option($lang['nav_categories_add'], "categories.php?action=addcat");Add above:

Code: [Select]

$root_path = $site_sess->url(ROOT_PATH);
show_nav_header($lang['nav_navigation_main']);
show_nav_option($lang['nav_navigation_admin_index'], "home.php?action=home");
show_nav_option($lang['nav_navigation_site_home'], "$root_path");
show_nav_option($lang['nav_navigation_phpmyadmin'], "PHPMYADMIN LINK");Where it says PHPMYADMIN LINK enter the exact location to your phpMyAdmin manager.
--------------------
Open lang/<your language>/admin.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

$lang['nav_categories_main'] = "Categories";Add above:

Code: [Select]

$lang['nav_navigation_main'] = "Navigation";
$lang['nav_navigation_admin_index'] = "Admin index";
$lang['nav_navigation_site_home'] = "Site home";
$lang['nav_navigation_phpmyadmin'] = "phpMyAdmin";--------------------

That's it. Save and close files.
Log in to your admin CP to see the changes.
Feedback about this mod would be well appreciated thanks.

It would help greatly if you could show us a screenshot of your admin CP to get an idea of what these changes do.  That would help people determine if they wanted to invest the time installing the mod.  Just a suggestion.

[uksoreeyes]

Great idea, I was going to make a preview image but time got a hold of me as usual. Here is a preview of the little changes my mod makes.

[V@no]

very nice!
Just I think u forgot mention to change:

Code: [Select]

show_nav_option($lang['nav_navigation_phpmyadmin'], "PHPMYADMIN LINK");with link to phpmyadmin?

uksoreeyes -

great mod !!    ... now if i can get my phpMyadmin link working!

question - i see in your screen shot that you have site logs and page logs ..

is this used to track your users? .. if so .. can you PM me the code? .. i would like to incorporate tracking/log features !! ..

also have you down any coding to track downloads ? ..

thanx

Easy to integrate!

[uksoreeyes]

great mod !!     ... now if i can get my phpMyadmin link working!

Like v@no said above, change the 'PHPMYADMIN LINK' to the link of your phpmyadmin.

question - i see in your screen shot that you have site logs and page logs ..

This is a seprate script and is in no way intergrated or part of 4images. it's actually a perl script which I'm looking to replace with a php script. That log script Chris has shown looks very good. I may use that.

also have you down any coding to track downloads ? ..

Not yet.

uksoreeyes -  

regarding the link to phpMyadmin ... i was just waiting for my web host to get back to me with the link reference ! - it seems 'localhost' was not correct..

i am using vividview's download log mod to track user by user - at least i can see what downloads they take .. but desire more info for tracking purposes

if you have followed some of my other posts - both he an v@no have pointed my to another program .. but unfortunately i am not php literate !! .. so i must rely on the generosity of those in this forum for help tweaking this area of concern

question - can you PM with details on how your log scripts work ??

thanx
bruce

I know this is getting off-topic, but to setup pphlogger from www.phpee.com requires NO php knowledge.  You follow the instructions and add a single line of javascript to either header.html or footer.html and you're done.

thanx chris !!

the info is greatly appreciated ..

I would love to use this mod.... but it looks as though it was also corrupted.... I have a serious problem getting the ; and " and > in the right places already 
Is there any way someone can reload this to the forum without the errors ...

Thanks!

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/httpd/vhosts/photofront.ch/httpdocs/admin/index.php on line 143


At line 143 I have the following code:

What is wrong? If you need more information, let me know.

Thanks
