how do i ad an extra menuitem in the adminstrator module. I have my own maillister that i only want certain people to be able to use. Any ideas would be appiciated.

Could it be an idea to use the registrationtype "Special" to this? How does this work btw?

I was trying to do this as well - it is controlled in the administrator/menubar.php file -

Just write the link like this example

Code:

_cmSplit,
	[null,'Logout','index2.php?option=logout',null,'Logout'],

Look for the menu item you want to put it after then place it just above the last _cmsplit.

Note that you can substitute the first null with an icon that you want displayed with themenu item as in this example.

Code:

['<img src="../includes/js/ThemeOffice/backup.png" />','Backup', 'index2.php?option=com_dbadmin&task=dbBackup', null, 'Backup'],

Hope that helps - that is what I did and it works grand. You can also look in the files for the example of how to set submenus - very easy implimintation.
