What: If there are items within the AdminCP which you utilize often and wish to have quick access to, you can create a custom Menu Group which contains items of your choosing.
Example: AdminCP functions that you use frequently are the Style Manager, Forum Manager, Forum Permissions, Search for User, and Usergroup Manager. Instead of having to navigate to the 'Styles & Templates', the 'Forums & Moderators', the 'Users', or the 'Usergroup' menu groups where the specific functions are located, you can create a custom Menu Group which contains the functions grouped together in one easy to get to location.
How-to: Paste the below text into an html editor, save as cpnav_my_links.xml and upload to forum/includes/xml. If you are currently viewing your AdminCP, close and restart the browser, login to your Admin CP, and you will see the 'My Links' menu block in the left menu.
The above contains the items mentioned in the example above - for other items, open cpnav_vbulletin.xml (located at forum/includes/xml) and cut and paste the items you prefer. Additionally, if you would like to add your own links, simple replace phrase with text. Example:
