I created this plugin, since I have been fiddling around with creating a few other plugins.
I got tired of needing to click through so many buttons to reach a certain page.
So, I decided to throw this together to speed things up, and that's exactly what it did!
It makes things a lot more fluent. I figured I'd share it.
By default, the code displays a menu that: contains links to all of your Admin-Panel tabs.
The menu is hidden until its button is moused over. The button is just a dash which hovers at the top of every forum page (visible for admins only). After the mouseover, the menu slides out.
You can also add quick links to specific Plugins. This will be handy for coders/developers or admins who use a plugin that frequently needs edited. This will add to the Quick links menu; a 'Plugins section' and links for each TAB of your desired plugin:
To add quick links to your desired plugins, there's a TAB within the plugin-Settings named 'Add Plugins To Display In Quick Links'. There, you will need to add the name of the plugin that you want to add to the Quick Links menu and the index number of that plugin.
Getting the index number is very simple and quick.
Just look in the url of any page of your plugin and use the number within it:
Alternatively, you can also go to Admin>Plugins>Manage and scroll over the plugin you want, then use the number at the end of the link that your browser displays. (using Microsoft Edge, not tested how it displays in others)
You can add as many Plugins as you want. When the height of the Quick Links menu exceeds the browsers window height, a scrollbar appears.
You can also add your own links to the Quick Links menu
To add a quick link to your desired destination, there's a TAB within the plugin-Settings named 'Add Other Links'. There, you will need to add the name of the link that you want to add to the Quick Links menu and the URL for that link.
You can add as many as you want.
Adding your own links to the Quick Links menu will add a section at the top of the Quick Links menu named "Your Links":
Each link opens in a new tab.
The menu hides on mouseout.
Menu can be styled completely
