[ocelot16]

i want to add a link to my admin panel, where can i find the admin panel template? or where can i edit it?

it is located inside SMF, you dont have to make any. In case if you cannot find the path, then here it is:-

http://yoursite.com/index.php?action=admin

I don't think that ocelot16 want to access the admin panel (I could be wrong) , but edit the template file of it;
Admin.template.php

As a small note; if you are going to add a link to the admin menu at the left, you should add it to the adminIndex() function in Subs.php file.

Subs.php, Line 2766 you can see how the link is added for Manage Attachments area. Just below, you add this:

Code Select Expand

$context['admin_areas']['layout']['areas']['your_area'] = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=your_area_action">Your Area Name</a>';

Then in index.php file in the root, you should add your action in the action array as:

Code Select Expand

'your_area_action' => array('YourFile.php', 'YourFunction'),

And in your area's source file, if you add:

Code Select Expand

adminIndex('your_area');

you will have the admin menus and template loaded in your area too.

You can check how this mod does that as an example.

But if you are just adding a few settings, you can use the ModSettings area too. Check this mod for that.
