I am trying to make some minor modifications to the CMS Builder interface. If I want to make a change to the main menu along the left side, what file should I be modifying?

What i am trying to do is add a custom class to the "User Accounts" and "Admin" buttons so I can style these slightly differently from the others.

thanks,
jason

Hi Jason,

Those are in:
/cmsAdmin/lib/menus/header.php and
/cmsAdmin/lib/menus/header_functions.php

Edit header_functions.php and add the code in red:

    $menuClass  = ($selectedMenu == $row['tableName']) ? 'menuOn' : 'menuOff';
    $menuClass2 = ($row['tableName'] == 'accounts') ? 'menuAccounts' : '';
    $menuLinks .= "<li><a href='?menu={$row['tableName']}' class='$menuClass $menuClass2'>" . htmlspecialchars($row['menuName']) ."</a></li>\n";
   }

   if ($CURRENT_USER['isAdmin']) {
     $menuClass  = ($selectedMenu == 'admin') ? 'menuOn' : 'menuOff';
     $menuLinks .= "<li><a href='?menu=admin' class='$menuClass menuAdmin'>" . htmlspecialchars(__('Admin')) ."</a></li>\n";
   }

That will add a class menuAccounts and menuAdmin.

Let me know if that works for you.
