Code: Select all

	# Menu Events
	'EVENT_MENU_MAIN' => EVENT_TYPE_DEFAULT,
	'EVENT_MENU_MAIN_FRONT' => EVENT_TYPE_DEFAULT,
	'EVENT_MENU_MANAGE' => EVENT_TYPE_DEFAULT,
	'EVENT_MENU_MANAGE_CONFIG' => EVENT_TYPE_DEFAULT,
	'EVENT_MENU_SUMMARY' => EVENT_TYPE_DEFAULT,
	'EVENT_SUBMENU_SUMMARY' => EVENT_TYPE_DEFAULT,
	'EVENT_MENU_DOCS' => EVENT_TYPE_DEFAULT,

Ok. That is easy.

So I have this in my plugin file:

Code: Select all

	function hooks( ) {
		$hooks = array(
			'EVENT_MENU_MAIN' => 'links',
		);
		return $hooks;
	}

But what do I have to do If the link should only be visible to administrators or reporters?

Thanks for help..

Add the following code to your function links

Code: Select all

if ( access_has_global_level ( MANAGER ) ) {
# print your links
}

[MCKiller]

ok, so I have to do something like that:

Code: Select all

   function hooks( ) {
      if ( access_has_global_level ( MANAGER ) ) {
          # print your links
          $hooks = array(
               'EVENT_MENU_MAIN' => 'links',
          );
      }
      return $hooks;
   }

I will test it when I am at home...

thx..

no, not in functions hooks, but in the function where you return the link (your function link, in Kirill's example this is function print_menu_search)

well i was looking on mantisbt main page and all the plugin were in .pkg files

[atrol]

well i was looking on mantisbt main page and all the plugin were in .pkg files

The MantisBT main page is http://www.mantisbt.org
MantisBT does not use any pkg files.
I am pretty sure you are talking about 3rd party plugins.
They are devloped by user deboutv in this forum.
His plugins are not working with MantisBT 1.2

[tetsunami]

Youre right my bad

Hi Kiril,

Im trying to add a new item link at main menu bar in mantis 1.2.3

the link you´ve posted (http://github.com/Kirill/search/blob/ma ... Search.php) is forbidden

if you have another example explaining how to add a new item link would be great.


Thanks

[Kirill]

My plugins move to mantis-plugins group. New link
https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/sea ... Search.php
Look source code of mantisbt https://github.com/mantisbt and plugins in https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins.

Thanks,

But what exactaly have to be done on adding a new Main Item Link ?
I´ve added this line to config_ing.php:
$g_main_menu_custom_options = array( array( "NewMenu", UPDATER, 'NewMenu.php' ));

Im trying to do a new page (NewMenu.php) that list bugs grouping by status.... so each status is a field (column) containing bugs related to the status field.
After adding that line the menu was ok but when Im in NewMenu.php and change current project (combobox) mantis redirects the page to main_view.php while it shoud reload NewMenu.php.... so is there anything else to be done besides adding $g_main_menu_custom_options variable ?

Cheers
