SMF 2.1-STYLE ADMIN AREA v1.11
By Dougiefresh -> Link to Mod

Introduction
This mod reorganizes the layout of SMF v2.0.x's Admin area so that it closely matches SMF 2.1 Alpha 1's menu, as of July 28, 2014.  It also rewrites the "Adminstration Center" page to look like SMF 2.1 Alpha 1....

Most of the modifications are to Admin.php and Admin.template.php, with a few other edits to make the moved menu entries work.

In SMF 2.1 Alpha 1, there is no Core Features page.  Those settings have been migrated to the individual pages to enable/disable the feature.  These modifications are not duplicated, as they would add MUCH, MUCH more code to the admin area....

Installed without any hassles and works a treat (SMF v2.0.9-ish).

Good one, again, Dougie!

[Arantor]

Nice job.

Technically if you followed the code that was put in, the only images used would be Crystal Project ones; Oxygen is used for the avatars in 2.1 and Fugue is used for some smileys and some menu stuff, but not for the main admin area.

Thank you.  I'll update the mod to reflect this information....

EDIT: Mod has been updated to reflect this information.  Thanks, ‽ !!

SMF v2.0.9-ish?  You've got my curiosity up when you mention that..... 

[Steve]

A certain special few get an advanced copy of the next release for testing I assume.

[Arantor]

I think it's a good thing that some long-standing issues are getting tackled. I'm a fan of bug-fix releases and I'm quite pleased in general that the cycle of 'only ever doing security fixes' was broken to include legitimate bug fixes too.

As to 'special few', the team all get access to patches before deployment for testing. I've also been known to have the odd pre-release slung my way for testing, but not on this occasion, not that I've had the time to really look at it anyway.

[Masterd]

Another great mod, dougie! You're really good at this.

2.0.9??? Well, a new version is certainly a good thing.

[Steve]

As to 'special few' ...

I should have put quotes around it as well. It was said with tongue-in-cheek. I know most if not all the team gets an advanced copy for testing ...

[Arantor]

All the team should have access to the board where such things are discussed. I, however, am not a team member, so I don't get privileged access - and on this one they're more than capable of fixing it themselves (seeing how I know two of the things to be fixed because I'm the discoverer)

[dougiefresh]

Very, very interesting.....

[Arantor]

Eh, there's nothing seriously exciting in 2.0.9. A few bug fixes, one of which stems back years and no-one noticed before, so I don't think it ever bit anyone before but I thought it should be fixed.

Uploaded v1.6 - November 15th, 2014
o Fixed potential "missing file" problem with uninstalling mod.

[Steve]

When I attempt to install I get an installation error. The mod is looking for this:

Code Select Expand

'serversettings' => array(
'label' => $txt['admin_server_settings'],
'file' => 'ManageServer.php',
'function' => 'ModifySettings',
'icon' => 'server.gif',
'subsections' => array(
'general' => array($txt['general_settings']),
'database' => array($txt['database_paths_settings']),
'cookie' => array($txt['cookies_sessions_settings']),
'cache' => array($txt['caching_settings']),
'loads' => array($txt['load_balancing_settings']),
),
),
'current_theme' => array(

However, that last line is not in my admin.php anywhere. So how do I proceed? Do I just delete all but the last line and just add that last line because the mod wants the whole thing replaced with that last line anyway? Or will I cause a problem because that line wasn't in the file in the first place?

Note: I have your Lazy Admin Menu installed.

[dougiefresh]

Please attach your Sources/Admin.php.  I'll see if there is an easy solution for you....

[Steve]

Attached and thanks.

Uploaded v1.7 - December 4th, 2014
o Changed mod for better install compatibility with Staff Page Mod.

@Steve: Version 1.7 should solve your install issues....

[Steve]

Thankee. Will have look in a bit.



Edit: still getting an error with that same section. Tried it on my test board that has no mods installed and still got the error. Weird.

[dougiefresh]

Damn sloppy of me....  Please redownload the version 1.7 of this mod.  I've fixed this issue, and no, I didn't increment the version number....

[Steve]

Awesome dougie! Works a treat now!

[RSI]

Doug,

I found a bug. This mod locks up the BBC control page. I had it installed for a long time and didn't notice it until now. If you go to Administration Center » Posts and Topics » Bulletin Board Code and try to change any of the settings and hit save it wont let you and it puts the settings back to like they were. Basically if you unchecked a box and hit save it rechecks it again. The page appears to be locked.

I uninstalled the mod and the problem goes away.

[Steve]

Mine is Admin -> Features and Options -> Bulletin Board Code (SMF version 2.0.10) but I can confirm that this happens on my setup as well.

[RSI]

Mine is Admin -> Features and Options -> Bulletin Board Code

The navigation location I gave is without the mod installed. The mod moves it and is somehow locking or disconnecting control of those database settings from that page after it's relocated/reorganized.

[Steve]

The navigation location I gave is without the mod installed.

Ah, okay. I've had it for so long I've forgotten how it was before.

[dougiefresh]

I'm sorry I haven't been able to get back to you lately, as I've been working somewhere around 100 hours in the last 10 days....  I'll look into the bug report(s) that you reported....

[dougiefresh]

Uploaded v1.8 - June 5th, 2015
o License change to Simplified BSD.
o Fixed not saving settings issue with Bulletin Board Codes page.

[Steve]

Was the bugfix significant? In other words, was it a small enough fix for me to fix my current version (1.7) manually?

I have a lot of custom modifications so trying to update this generates way to many errors to make it worth the work.

[dougiefresh]

@Steve: In Sources/Post.php, find this code:

Code (Find) Select Expand

redirectexit('action=admin;area=postsettings;sa=bbc');
}

$context['post_url'] = $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=postsettings;save;sa=bbc';
and replace it with this:

Code (Add After) Select Expand

redirectexit('action=admin;area=featuresettings;sa=bbc');
}

$context['post_url'] = $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=featuresettings;sa=bbc;save';
That should fix it.

[Steve]

I'm not finding any of that code in that file.

[dougiefresh]

WHOOPS!!!  I meant Sources/ManagePosts.php, not Sources/Post.php!! 

[Steve]

Works a treat now Dougie. Thanks muchly!

Uploaded v1.9 - July 6th, 2015
o Fixed a conflict with other mods regarding the LoadLanguage function operation used.

Hello .
How make the update ?
Need to remove old and install the new or just run the new package via package manager ?

I remove and install again the new version because i do not see in package-info.xml upgrade option .

[dougiefresh]

There's no added or changed functionality to the version 1.9 update, so you don't need to upgrade from v1.8.  Yes, there is a minor change, but it is to resolve the conflict that I encountered uninstalling an older version on my personal server....

From versions earlier than v1.8, yes, you need to upgrade by uninstalling the old mod, then installing the new mod.

[dougiefresh]

Uploaded v1.10 - November 2nd, 2018
o No functionality change.
o Updated documentation to point to new website.
