How to extend admin menu?

Sorry I mean how to add more option through coding and certainly not hacking the admin-menu-file :slight_smile:

Yes I am working on it.

The menu service is now complete:

AdminMenuService@cb

Check out the API, but very easy to add new top level menus, or sub menus.

Will be adding positioning soon. but as of now, this is complete, so the entire admin interface can be modified by modules.

/**

  • Create the default ContentBox menu

*/

AdminMenuService function createDefaultMenu(){

var event = requestService.getContext();

var prc = event.getCollection(private=true);
