Module Creation

[billynastie2002]

Hi, All
Im wanting to write a backend module to edit the template css file problem is I have an idea where to start but need to know if its possible to do its for a client website and the client only has access to 3 backend sections pages, media and preferences question is it possible to add my own tab to these which will only show up for the user in question or can I change security on tools so that she can only see the tool which i am creating for the client I have thought of doing a page module but I think a tool module is the correct way to go and the client must only have access to this one tool.
Plus the tool which I am creating is based loosely on edit_module_files.p hp and code module so it is a hybrid module of my own design and also as it is a specific module for the termplate I am using it isnt a module I will be publishing or releasing for everyone yet everyone will be able to have it to pull apart and work with.
Module is not complete as I have only just started working on it but will issue the module when it is complete and I have had a answer on my previous questions.

Hi had a little bit of a play managed to get the module working although a little bit of bad code to do it which i will work on what I am having problems with now is saving the css file and returning to the editor page where it is working I have attached what I have so far.

Hi,
Ive tried that I really only want it for the template css file I have managed to make it work where it reads the file into the editor but I cannot make it write back to the file ie: make it save the editor content.
Can someone please have a look at what im doing wrong.

@billynastie2002:
Admin Tools do not have independent permission settings. If a group (user) has access to Admin Tools section, all tools listed there can be executed by default. To change this, one needs to hack some core files and/or add additional checks to (all) Admin tools used.

Easiest way is to go with a "page type" module and to create. Then you can add a single page with your module type and limit the access to this page only to group(s) you want.
