ACP Fast Drop Down Menus

---

Update: I've released a new version, it's stable enough but I still want more testing, so I haven't yet update in the mods site. You can download the new version from this post

---

Every time you just want to make some simple administration actions, you need to press again and again on different menus till you go (just because MyBB has a lot to offer),
BUT, that is the past,
Now, we have the Fast Menu plugin which add drop down menus to the ACP!

The plugin support two types of customization, the position (placement) of the menus (top / sidebar) and an additional customized menu for quick links (you can put any link you want, and can set the link to be opened in a new window).

The plugin is only one file, just upload the file fastmenu.php to the 'inc/plugins/' folder and activate.

Please suggest any improvement

This is how the Fast Menu look while on the top:
(open in new tab if you want to view properly, this is a resized image)

I must say I quite like the sound of that. I'll install tomorrow and feed back any suggestions

Thanks Matt, appreciate it.

So instead of click you hover over? That's cool! Might install.. not sure yet. Either way nice job.

No, ATM, you should click to open the drop-down menu but it's still preventing many unnecessary reloads.

Anyway I will check if it feasible to open the drop-down by only hovering over it, and if it is I'll add it as an option in the next version.

Update: Yes

This is great, thanks.

FYI, to anyone:
you can easily add links like this...

	// first find:
function fastmenu_quick_links(){
	$links = array(
	// Here you can define your own links!

	// Later add:
array('title'=>'Yahoo!','link'=>'http://www.yahoo.com/','blank'=>1),
array('title'=>'ESPN','link'=>'http://www.ESPN.com/','blank'=>1),

...so then you can easily go to your favorite sites from your adminCP.

dude, you rock man! i love this idea. I'll install tomorrow morning ^_^

Can you please upload a print-screen or view the source and upload all the html source?

Have you tried to change the placement of the menu? Please test all placement options.
