Guest Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi All Has anyone seen any threads on changing the entry order of files in the admin section pages (I want to reimpose alpha order)? Specifically I am having particular trouble sorting out the admin main headings into strict alpha order There are no problems with the contents of the boxes but as my store has Admin Access Level 2 contrib the location of the main file headers and the configuration files is handled as part of their entry in the database I presume that if I change the order of sort_order in table configuration and the corresponding entries in sort_order in table configuration_group That will sort the entries in the configuration section But how to change the headers... I have changed the order in the SQL files in ADMIN_FILES, but this does not seem to have an effect Any pointers would be very much appreciated Thank you Nossum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the boxes are under admin/includes/column_left.php and the links in the boxes are under admin/includes/boxes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Are you talking about rearranging the links on the left side of the admin section? If so, the boxes are under admin/includes/column_left.php and the links in the boxes are under admin/includes/boxes/ Hi yes I am. I have altered those boxes in that location as necessary however the order of the boxes that you have pointed out is not determined by any data in that area. I believe the data sits in the database and it is that info or where I might find it that I am after Thank you for your help Regards Nossum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said above, the boxes are shown via admin/includes/column_left.php In the stock osCommerce, column_left.php shows: require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'configuration.php'); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'catalog.php'); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'modules.php'); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'customers.php'); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'taxes.php'); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'localization.php'); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'reports.php'); require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'tools.php'); You just rearrange the order of these boxes based on the order that you want them to show...

Ahhh yes I see what you mean.... A saying something to do with not seeing trees for the wood or similar is coming to mind! I was so sure the access contribution had moved that to the database. I should have remembered the columns and checked them out. aegrnberg respect & thank you for your help Nossum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
