Lazy Admin Menu

It's not good practice to work that way. Makes the code messy.

Also there is a point when software features need to be finalized or release will forever be put off. I'd like to think 2.1 is feature complete by now.

2.1 was allegedly feature complete except for the theme a year ago. Until I chose to add features to it to prevent it being even further behind the competition and behind user expectation but found myself unable to continue contributing to development.

(Actually, it wasn't even ready for beta by that time, there were many bugs that were only discovered and excised when trying to fix other things.)

We will be getting OT guys (and women in this case

). Wasn't the theme up to Ant?

Arantor · July 21, 2014, 04:09:50 PM

The theme is one of the lesser problems.

For now, sure. But if AdminMenu changes its behaviour in the future, it's entirely possible it might not work properly.

I guess when 2.1 becomes beta or maybe even final, I'll make an official version. Until then, maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. But I'm not changing the mod for 2.1 compatibility until it advances to the beta stage (at least)....

Wise move

Ninja ZX-10RR · July 21, 2014, 04:17:27 PM

I like when it's "maybe it will work maybe it won't" but if it will steal my cookies and eat them I will uninstall it for sure

dougiefresh · July 21, 2014, 05:04:24 PM

Don't blame ya..... Hold on.... You have cookies?

WOW!!!!

I meant "maybe it'll work, maybe it won't" for 2.1.... not 2.0....

Ninja ZX-10RR · July 21, 2014, 05:08:23 PM

they are not really cookies but...

I hope this is standard, in 2.1...

Personally I think that SMF should follow Google Chrome's philosophy. In it's core it should be ascetic. If someone needs more features there are mods like this one.

NekoJonez · July 22, 2014, 06:05:49 AM

Does this add menu items that mods add?

Arantor · July 22, 2014, 06:08:26 AM

In theory it should.

NekoJonez · July 22, 2014, 06:10:11 AM

Good to know, since it's for that reason I might install this mod.

Ninja ZX-10RR · July 22, 2014, 02:03:01 PM

I can witness that it does.

Steve · July 23, 2014, 08:30:10 AM

I absolutely love this. Just installed it yesterday and wish I'd installed it sooner.

Rk2910 · July 24, 2014, 08:02:52 PM

A very nice mod - thank you.

NekoJonez · July 25, 2014, 04:58:58 AM

This is a beast mod! Extremely nice job.

Here is a suggestion. Can you make this for the moderation menu as well?
Also, maybe you could make this for all the options in the forum~ ?

Expand it beyond the admin menu. Since I honestly think that this could benefit SMF quite a bit.

Arantor · July 25, 2014, 05:05:07 AM

The more menus you do the more performance intensive it gets, especially with some of the moderation menus.

I just tested this mod on a test site, then installed SimplePortal, and the menu items show.

So I guess that means there's even more proof it does.

Ahn, I see.

I got huge error dumping due to Simple Portal. O.O
