AdminCP Dropdown Menus
Author Message
I wrote this a long long time ago, actually, during the MyBB 1.4 beta (so it might be the first 3rd party MyBB 1.4 plugin Tongue).
MyBB 1.4 introduced a nice tabbing interface to the AdminCP, but unfortunately, this means that many parts require two (or more) clicks to get to.  Although this plugin doesn't really solve that, it does eliminate an intermediary page load - useful for people like me on slower connections.

A simple plugin, but I find rather useful.

The plugin doesn't check admin permissions to show the links.

MyBB doesn't seem to do so either.  This plugin just copies what MyBB displays (to some extent).

What do you mean? I have tested and if a admin doesn't have the permissions to access, for example, to the thread prefixes section, mybb doesn't show the link.

Unless something changed in a recent version or my localhost copy of 1.6.1 is really whack, it shows for me:

RE: AdminCP Dropdown Menus
Looks like 1.6.4.
Would've been an easy change in the old version, but I can't be bothered with v1.1 because handling around the hack is kinda a pain that I don't feel like thinking about...
Ideally, MyBB should have a better API than their stupid multi-submenu hack.

I can post v1.0 with the change if you wish.

You mean about the hack that display other links that version 1.0 doesn't?

Will appreciate if you do it, thanks.

Did this plugin work without errors? Because I am unsure to install it when i saw the screenshot showing access denied.
