Including HTML for every admin page?

Hello everyone,

I want to inlude some JavaScript in every admin page, and I'm wondering if it is possible to create a module that does that? So not just for admin pages of my own module, but for every page in the admin section.

I found http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... ilit=admin, but that only outputs the content for my own admin pages.

I know I can make an admin theme, but then I will lose the possibility of enabling/disabling my module, as well as upgrade-support.

With kind regards,

Jurrie

At one point, I was looking to do the same thing, but looking at the code, it doesn't seem possible from a module point-of-view.. The only way that I can see to do this is to modify the admin theme.

What were you trying to accomplish? I was trying to use JQuery to change a text extra field definition to be a GBFilePicker input, so I could use it in News, or any other module .. I found another way to do this, but it was very News-specific (module_custom/UDT), as opposed to being a generic JQuery replacement.

Hi Wishbone,

Thanks for your reply. Too bad it's not quite possible, but I already kinda thought it wasn't. :)

I'm trying to modify the 'preview' functionallity. Instead of opening the link directly, I want it in a popup I can control.

If you know of a way to do this (other than modifying the theme of course :)), please let me know.

With kind regards,

Jurrie

Maybe with eventmanager (modify html)?

As far as I know, the event manager only works on the front end... I tried. :)

Correct... there is no way to inject javascript/html into each admin page.
