Changing the overview and the WB admin menu

[spida]

Hi everyone,

I have browsed through the WB data but haven't found the places yet.
This is what I want to do:
I want to change the order of the items in WB admin's overview (the overview you see right after being logged in into the admin interface).
Accordingly I also want to change the order and appearance (with css preferably) of WB admin's menu (which displays the same items as the overview, just horizontally).

Could someone hint me to the right data on which I should work? I have searched through admin/interface and admin/start without any success.

Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Ayshe

Hi guys,

thank you for your answers. Yet, I am afraid I haven't made clear enough, what I want to change. Adjusting the appearance of the backend is no deal, have done that a couple of times and even postet a how-to in this forum.

So, it's NOT about design, it's about content.

I want more flexibility in adjusting the backend menu, i.e. the top horizontal menu as well as the overview. For example, I want to push the menu item "Help" to another position. This is not possible in the admin/interface files.

The file "header.html" has this block:

Code:

       <ul class="menu">
            <!-- BEGIN linkBlock -->
            <li class="{CLASS}"><a href="{LINK}" target="{TARGET}">{TITLE}</a></li>
            <!-- END linkBlock -->
        </ul>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="content">
<!-- END header_block -->

Thus, "linkBlock" is constructed somewhere else. Where? And I haven't found the entire overview block at all.

I hope I could explain my target better this time and am looking forward to further suggestions.

EDIT
OK, I got one step further. In admin/start is another template.html which obviously builds up the  overview - not the menu, though.
The HTML code uses some variables, like in this example:

Code:

<td class="title">
                <a href="{ADMIN_URL}/settings/index.php">{SETTINGS}</a>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="description">
                {SETTINGS_OVERVIEW}
            </td>

From which place are the variables filled? This is where I need to go, too.

So, open questions are still:

• where is the menu block build?
• where is the content for the variables generated?

Your help is very welcome!

Best regards,
Ayshe
