Admin and TP Admin

[Rasyr]

I like option 2 the best - moving it to the Admin section.

There are, in the permissions section of SMF (IIRC), where you can set it for moderators to have access to certain portions of the Admin section. It might be an idea to look at how that is done so that the site Admin could also setup moderators with permissions to handle certain admin-type tasks relating to TP (such as Downloads).

Attached is what it looks like on Fiddlers Elbow.

I would prefer option 2 and something like this

TinyPortal

• TP Admin
• Download Mgr
• Gallery

I agree with Xarcell and if possible let peeps have an option. I don't have the buttons that he mentioned but I do have Arcade and have added PM's and Unread for my own use and that is why I asked.

Yeah, I have a couple of custom buttons as well. I have an "Unread Topics" button on my forums currently, along with a "Rules of Conduct" button. And after upgrading it to RC2 (and TP), I am planning on adding a Chat mod as well.

I'm have add all TP Options ...

Code Select Expand


// Add TiniPortal
$context['admin_areas']['tinyportal'] = array(
'title' => 'TinyPortal',
'areas' => array(
'TPAdmin' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=tpadmin">Administration</a>',
'TPDLAdm' => '<a href="' . $scripturl .'?action=tpmod;dl=admin">DL Manager Administration</a>',
'TPDownload' => '<a href="' . $scripturl .'?action=tpmod;dl=0">Download Manager</a>',
'TPUpload' => '<a href="' . $scripturl .'?action=tpmod;dl=upload">Upload Manager</a>',
)
);



by the way ..

I think it's a good idea, to change
$context['user']['is_admin']
to
allowedTo('admin_forum')

so all users with forum admin can handle TP Admin.

or better .. make it configurable

Hmm... such a list could contain all of the TP related Admin pages (Edit Categories, Edit Articles, etc...)

I offered another button/tpadmin suggestion in another thread.

Here's what I wrote:

1.) One of the things I noticed about TP is the button issues which have already been discussed. Sooner or later there are going to be too many buttons to fit in a theme. So here are a few suggestions...

Make the TPAdmin link appear in the "user Info" block if the user has permission to use TPAdmin. If the User isn't a administrator or moderator, the TPAdmin link doesn't appear.

I think you should let people add buttons manually. You also gotta remember that there are other mod's added to SMF in general that add buttons, aside from any buttons that  user might want to add manually like "stats", "gallery", "osstore" or "smfshop", etc.

Xarcell - that was earlier in this thread...... 

At least the last paragraph was.... hehe

Fel, adding the permission is next on my list. Too much use of "is_admin" really.

All the parts should be configurable, whether its blocks/articles etc. it needs a great deal of changes, but now the time to do it as any. TP admin/module-admin sections will only get bigger.

I like the idea of "TPadmin" inside userblock, a special "admin" section could be added there with links to what you can administrate.

Only problem is that the block will be very long. Maybe the stats parts could be moved over to stats block rather, including who is online?

I agree with that Bloc.
