[B00MER]

I've taken the time to break down the majority of the much needed "quick-links" in the admin area and created these categorized dropdown selectors as to make things a bit easier to get around in from the admin perspective.

Keep in mind this is mainly for GOLD versions, I'm not sure what results this mod could add to PRO.

Insert this code in your admin/main/promotions.tpl preferably towards the top above the other default links:

Boomer,

You are great.

[Emerson]

B00MER,
Very cool, thank you!

I have this working fine on a 3.5.7 Pro, no problems!

[adpboss]

Does not work in 3.4.x

Apparently the admin and provider variables are different.

[adpboss]

Working in stock 3.4.x (if your xcart directory is "xcart")

[Emerson]

You are right,
It does work fine on the Admin area of Pro but the provider area.
Main reason is that some of the features are ONLY available to the admin.

I am modifying the code to work on the provider area.

Will post it shortly

[adpboss]

Boomer,

This thread is misnamed. I installed it, fixed the links and while it makes the admin quicker, it isn't any easier to admin my store.

I was hoping this would process and pack orders too!



Thanks, works like a dream.

[Emerson]

Here it is!
As you can see it is a much shorter code as I have removed all the stuff that does not work in the provider area...

open provider/main/promotions.tpl and add the code below to it...
