I need to add two links to the main CP navigation that go directly to modules which are frequently used to manage the website. I’m aware that users can add custom links by clicking “+ Add” next to the nav, but I need the links to already be there when a new user is registered as opposed to having to tell them where to go and what to do to add a new link.

On version 2.1.3, I was able to do this by editing the file at /themes/cp_themes/default/_shared/main_menu.php but this seems to be gone on the most recent version. Any pointers on where to find this?

Hi antiuser,

We don’t recommend hacking the core files as that can cause problems with upgrades in the future. There is an excellent add-on that allows you to create custom CP menus on a member group basis that will do what you are trying to achieve. Check out Zoo Flexible Admin.

Does that help you? Is there anything else I can assist you with?
