Add new item to admin sidebar

edited January 2014 in Feature Requests
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?

    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?

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

    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 ''; } }
