Admin Menu QuikPik Hack
I’ve always felt that the TXP admin interface’s tabbed menu structure was a bit tedious to navigate. I developed this hack to generate a drop down menu containing all of the available submenu options so that it is not necessary to select a top level tab first. As a bonus for those of us who work on multiple TXP sites, the current site name will also be displayed. Here’s what it look like:
This requires only 2 changes to the lib/txplib_head file.
You can get the full instructions and code or just replace your lib/txplib_head file with my lib/txplib_head file

Re: Admin Menu QuikPik Hack
This is pretty cool. I had a similar thought when writing the tutorial and was slogging through all the tabs. Great for startup and getting used to Textpattern but sometimes you need to fly through the pages.
Of course I might just need to cut down on the caffeine too ;-).

Great! Thanks for the work.
I’ve always found navigating through the tabs tedious and unfriendly. Especially when I’m tabbing so quickly I often click the wrong ones.
Edit: This is my 100th post. Yea for me.

Bad Javascript! I have 2 fixes for you Martagnan.
- Use Firefox :)
- I rewrote the javascript on the select list and it works now on at least FF and IE6.
I’ve updated the full instructions and code on my site as well as my lib/txplib_head file
Enjoy! Glad everyone finds it as useful as I did.

Re: Admin Menu QuikPik Hack
My bad. When I uploaded the new file I didn’t add the .txt extension so it didn’t overwrite my old file.
It will work now. Really. I’m serious. (fingers crossing)
Let me know if that works.

Re: Admin Menu QuikPik Hack
Hmm….are you just using my txplib_head.php file?
Can you email me the HTML that its generating for you?

Re: Admin Menu QuikPik Hack
This is still the old code being generated. The new version has an onchange on the select and the onclick attribute on the options has been replaced with a value attribute.
Are you sure you took my file, removed the .txt extension, renamed to txplib_head.php and copied over your existing one?
