and say for example create a dir called:
Quote:/config_plugs
in such newly created directory create a meta file called:
Quote:module_meta.php
Add the following in that file:
<?php
if(!defined("IN_MYBB")){
die("Direct initialization of this file is not allowed.");
}
function config_plugs_meta(){
global $page, $plugins;
$page->add_menu_item("Config Plugins", "config-plugins", "index.php?module=config-plugins", 101);
}
Now, for this example as you see in the images I used "Config Plugins" as the link text (you should notice the only text that has capitalization?), but you could simply change that to "Plugins" if desired.
