Admin always see Administration Center with TP?

[dsmproject]

Is there a way that when logged in as admin, to always see the Administration center panel?  So no matter what screen I am in, I can see it?

Thanks,

Probably not, depending on what you mean by "the Administration center panel." At least some of what you might mean is dependent upon what is sent through the URL via the action variable. Making the whole admin section available in a block all the time (which is what you seem to be asking for) would mean, at the very least, rewriting a lot of the code.

I suppose if you wanted to give it a try, you could.

You could make a simple html block with admin panel links (copy & pasted), then set the permissions to only display to admins, and place the block wherever you wanted.

I actually devised a horizontal menu that uses php to determine permissions and then output a drop-down menu for admins, using the same links as some (not all) of the frequent admin panel options I use.

Sorry I was not more clear above, but this is what I had in mind.  The Administration Center links on the left hand side of the Admin section.  I seen you could set the panels to be visable ONLY when an Admin was logged in, which is why I thought this would be possible.  Do you know is that panel displayed with html code?  Would I be able to get the bar to show up like that?

Go to the Admin area of your site.

In your browser (assuming you have Windows), click the right mouse button. You'll get a little menu under your mouse. Select "View Page Source" or something that says "Page Source" depending on your browser.

In the window that opens up, search in the page for Main.

Look up a few lines to the beginning of the first table. Start highlighting with your mouse on the <table line. Go all the way down until you see a line that just has </table> on it.

Copy (using CTRL-C) and then paste it into a javascript/html box.

Voila!
