Add new item to admin sidebar

toquis

Hi, I want to add a custom items to the admin sidebar. I realized that the sidebar view is nav.php in /modules/fuel/views/_blocks. Also I saw that in modules/fuel/config/fuel_modules.php are some links of that sidebar.

My question is what is the correct configuration or the correct form to add an item to the admin sidebar?

admin

It depends a little bit on where you want to insert the item. If you create an advanced module, you can add the following to your advanced module's config:
$config['nav']['site']['my_module'] = 'My Module';
This will be inserted under the SITE heading.

For more control, you can set the 'nav_auto_arrange' property to FALSE:
// will auto arrange the navigation into the normal order $config['nav_auto_arrange'] = FALSE;
Then you could simply create your own navigation array:
$config['nav'] = array(); $config['nav']['mysite'] = array( 'mysite/item1' => 'Item 1', 'mysite/item2' => 'Item 2', 'mysite/item3' => 'Item 3', );

Oh, thank you!! That worked, so far I don't need a submenu in the sidebar, so I didn't make my own navigation array, but If someday I'll need it, where should I create the navigation array?

admin

You can create the navigation array in your MY_fuel.php file (or in an advanced modules config file).

all things are working properly only the map div appears on different section of admin on right side not every where but like in category create etc

The related items are controlled in the locations_model::related_items method on the model. You can overwrite the model by extending that model and then specifying your new model in a module overwrite. The below is an example if you were to extend the locations_model and place your new model in fuel/applications/models/my_locations_model.php:
$module_overwrites['locations_points']['model_location'] = 'app'; $module_overwrites['locations_points']['mode_name'] = 'my_locations_model';

Then your my_locations_model.php file could look like the following:
require_once(FUEL_PATH.'models/base_module_model.php'); class Locations_model extends Base_module_model { function related_items($values = array()) { return ''; } }
