linked names in menu manager {0.12b1}

Post by kermit »

the names of menus (db templates) in the menu manager should be linked, just like names of pages, templates, css, etc. to be consistant across the entire admin area.  and also, maybe a reminder under 'file templates' that they need to be imported to be edited from in the admin interface.

in the menu editor, under database templates.
the name of the menu template should be clickable (to edit, same function as the edit icon on the far far right end of the line), just like the names of pages, stylesheets and templates in their respective areas... maintains consistancy of the admin ui.

I think I've noticed a bug on the 'Menu Manager > Database Templates' tab.

Before you have uploaded a database template there is only one 'Add Template' button. After u 'Import template to database', two 'Add Template' buttons appear on the 'Menu Manager > Database Templates' tab. One button is above the template list, and one below.

Actually, menu manager is me.  And, yes, it's intentional for when there is a long list.  I tend to do that on most of the admin pages I do these days.

Good idea Wishy. It's very helpfull to have to have 2 icons - especially when you have a long lits of items.
