Menu extend plugin

I made this plugin because I was tired of remaking our menu each time we did an upgrade or a link changed.

Version 1.2

  • Hide the menu from certain groups configured in the config page.

Planned for version 1.3

  • Ability to configure the "position" of the menu, in the SiT! menu bar
  • Ability to configure the "permission of each individual menu item

About the plugin

The plugin adds a menu to the end (after the normal SiT! Help menu), with 10 possible entries. The menu's name, link and subitem names and links are configurable.

Installation

  • Download and extract the plugin
  • Save the file menu_extend.php to your /plugins folder.
  • The structure should be:
    /yourSiTdirectory/plugins/menu_extend.php
  • Install the plugin in SiT, go to : SiT | Control Panel | Configuration
    • Locate Load Plugins in the bottom of the screen, and add menu_extend to the comma separated list.

Configuration

  • In your SiT installation go to : SiT | Control Panel | Configuration | Plugins | menu_extend
    • Configure the menu Name, and the link that the menu main item directs to
    • Configure the link and associated displayed text for each entry in the menu as you need.
    • Configure any groups you want to hide the menu from (Important: Use the group id(s) only)
    • Click "Save"

When you have saved the config, and reloaded your page you will see a menu appear on the main menu bar:
