How to add a new top-level admin Menu

Greetings,

I understand how to add a new admin menu link to an existing top-level menu from this tutorial:
https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?327-Adding-a-menu-item-to-the-v1-5-0-admin

My question is how does one add a new top-level admin menu? I would like to put all of my various custom/modified addons under its own top-level menu!

Thanks :D

Re: How to add a new top-level admin Menu

I believe this is what you are looking for:

Admin Menu Add - Twitch Module Menu

**Description: **
This module was built as a learning/teaching tool to showcase the simplicity and power of the system and easily track variable names so it has extra remarks and coding style examples to make contributions easy for any developer working on your site!

You now have a base/hub to build anything you want in admin - from simple static information pages to dynamic reports. Keep it simple and everything will plug right in :)

  • Zen Cart 'Modules Installed' Record - Basic to Advanced
  • Any modules can be recorded statically or integrated into the recording system dynamically
  • Uses existing Zen structure so there are no compatibility issues
    - Make your own Admin landing pages!

**Installs Into: **

  • Admin

Yes! I did a search in the plugins. Looks as if you have several contributions, very nice. Which one should I look at to create the new admin menus?

Thank you :D

For the newest release I've added your choice manual or automatic install of the SQL updates :)

Next up will be adding useful widgets and relevant business and live cart status reports to the dashboard and supporting Twitch pages.
