[Phpwebsite-developers] Go to Module Link

[Wendall C. <wen...@to...>]

Hey everyone,

Don and I have never taken the time to see why the Go to Module link
doesn't work with some mods after installing. I finally took the time to
find out and wanted to share it with everyone, and discuss adding it to
mods that don't have it, or modify the behavior of
mod/boost/class/Boost.php.

Anyway, in conf/controlpanel.php you need to add "admin"=>TRUE to the
$link[] array to have the "Go to Module" link appear after boosting your
mod.

I didn't test to see if this makes the mod only available to admin users
in the control panel. If that is the case, I think a modification to
Boost.php may be in order. The line that would need to be altered is 337
in current cvs:
if (isset($modLink['admin']) && (bool)$modLink['admin'] == TRUE)

I'm not sure what the original thought was behind this line. It doesn't
really make any sense to me since a user must be a Diety to boost
anyway. May be more appropriate to just whack this line. Something to
look into anyway.

Wendall
