Dave-

My client wants to add a link on one of their Section Editors so they can quickly get to another page on their site after they've finished adding data...I've looked around a bit in the CMS code and haven't yet located where I could add this link...Can you point me in the right direction before I proceed???

Many thanks, Rick

On the list page or the edit page?

For the edit page you could put some html in a header bar field. For the list page we'd have to hard code it or give it some more thought.

Let me know.

On the list page, maybe to the left of one of the Create buttons...

Hi Rick,

Here's how to hard code it.

- Open /lib/menus/default/list.php
- Make a backup copy
- search for "_disableAdd", this occurs twice in the page once for the top and once for the bottom buttons.
- add the code in red just above that line:

<td align="right">

<?php if ($menu == "yourMenuName"): ?>
Your message here.
<?php endif ?>

<?php if (!@$schema['_disableAdd']): ?>
<input type="submit" name="action=add" value="<?php _e('Create') ?>" />
<?php endif ?>

The name of your menu will be in the url when you are on the editor list page like this: admin.php?menu=yourMenuName

Hope that helps!

Dave-

Thanks for the help in adding the link...I originally added it to list.php, but realized afterwards that it really needed to be in the Login window under "Forgot Password", so I added it to login.php...Works fine...

Thanks again...Rick
