Radiant-submenu-extension is a project mainly written in ..., it's free.
Adds handy submenus to tabs in the radiant admin navigation.
This extension adds a useful second layer of navigation to the main radiant admin interface. It's mostly meant for use by extension authors and works much like the tabs. I use it to group together the various other extensions that are relevant to readers (rather than creating a tab for each one) and to offer a better site-chooser in multi_site.
I've added a shortcut mechanism so that you can put commonly-used links in the left-hand side of the submenu on a per-user (or global) basis. Advanced users can make their own bookmarks (which is all they are really) but it's more likely that the site admin will use this to make key tasks more accessible. I'm using it to eliminate link-hunting with deep admin links like 'add a blog entry' and 'upload images'.
New but simple and properly tested. Should just work.
git submodule add git://github.com/spanner/radiant-submenu-extension.git vendor/extensions/submenu
rake radiant:extensions:submenu:migrate
rake radiant:extensions:submenu:updateNothing is required. Our other extensions all declare the dependency properly (with radiant 0.8.1) so it should just work, but in case you need to declare the load order, this is what I used to have:
config.extensions = [ :share_layouts, :multi_site, :submenu, :taggable, :reader, :all ]In the activation method of an extension:
admin.tabs.add('Extension')
admin.tabs['Extension'].add_link('something', '/somewhere')
admin.tabs['Extension'].add_link('some other thing', '/elsewhere')
