EE 2 had the option of adding Quick links to the cp main menu for items you use often. e.g. templates, channels, fields, etc

I’ve had a look around and google-searched a bunch but can’t find any info?

Surly I’m not the only to miss this?

Hi,

Quick links has moved to the account drop down, if you click your username in the upper right corner, you will see a add quick links button. You can add anything you need there.

Great, thanks! Makes things slightly easier, is there no way to add links to the white bar (Create/Edit/Files/Members), would much prefer 1 click than 2?

No worries, had a look around the core files and found how to make this happen. are there any docs/tuts on setting up a custom cp ‘theme’ so I can remove my edits from the core files?

Thanks.

in case anyones is wondering

I added the code from the user menu after Line 132(ish) of

system > ee > EllisLab > Expressionengine > View > _shared > header.php
<?php foreach($cp_quicklinks as $link): ?>
     <li>
      <a href="http://<?=$linklink">?>"]<?=$link['title']?></a>
     </li>
      <?php endforeach ?>
     <li>
      <a class="last add">make('members/profile/quicklinks/create', array('id' => ee()->session->userdata('member_id'), 'url' => ee('CP/URL')->getCurrentUrl()->encode(), 'name' => $cp_page_title))?>"><?=lang('new_link')?></a>
     </li>

Hope it’s ok to post this. (not recomended editing core files)

Hi,

We don’t have documentation for setting up a custom theme. And we don’t recommend editing core files.

You can use the Custom Menu add-on, though.

Thanks, looks like that’s still a 2 click process though.

I’ll stick with my edits, and figure out the custom theme to remove edits from core files.
