Give admin access.

Posted: Thu May 18, 2006 6:18 pm

When I edit an admin I can give him access to different categories like
content, FAQ and Forums... and lots of more

When I add a new module, whats should I do to get it in this space so I can give the admin access to use this module?

Sorry for this seemingly stupid question: does the module have an admin section? I mean, for you logged in as the god admin, do you see the icon/link in the administration control panel? If you do, please post the code from the admin/links.php so I can take a look at it.

No I installed amxbans (counter-strike bansystem) like a module.
The only thing that is important is that the people I want should be able to see the link in the menu.

So what is needed to make this?
Maybe I can make a nasty hack just to make this work.

Ok, that is in the Modules configuration. Edit that module and set it to whatever group of user you wish to see it and don't forget to check the box "Show in Modules block" option.

I have found out that I need case.php and links.php in the adminfolder.
Then my custom made module is show up in the right place but would it give the user access to see the link?

I am a little bit confuse about the _modulename
What does it do and do I need it in other place too?

What is sounded like you wanted to do is make it available on your modules block, so all you have to do is go into the Administration control panel, select "Modules" and edit it to possibly be visible to "Administrators Only". Your module does not have an administrative feature to it, so you don't need to create anything under the module admin folder.

Montego thats correct and its working.
But it is possible to login as normal and still se that link, just to avoid login at two place at once. (normal and admin login)

Yes, that is possible, but not when you tell me that you want your "administrators" to only see it... If you still only truelly want your administrators to see this, they have to login ONLY with the admin login. They do NOT have to be logged in as both. That is what "Administrators Only" will do for you.
