Menu options at top of page

[Michael R]

How can I add a menu entry to the top of the page like here (Manage Purchases, Billing & Invoices, and Product Support)?

***oh, I see what you are looking for....The very top menu and for that Im not sure!

We've done this with a Pages block and a small template change. What I did is create a Pages block with the HTML for the links, and I set the permissions for the block so that only appropriate groups can see it (i.e. clients). Then, in the userBar template, I call the block with:

{block="client_links"}

That's all  Using the built-in permissions of Pages blocks is really useful for things like this!

I started going through the template but was quickly overwhelmed! haha.

Can you tell me where exactly I can add:

{block="client_links"}

Thanks!

In our case, the Pages block includes HTML like this:

<li><a href='#'>...</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>...</a></li>

i.e. just some list items. Then, in the userBar template, add {block="client_links"} just after the line that starts <ul id='elUserNav'...

Any chance there will be a "header menu" option in the future?

There is a mod for that in the Marketplace - search for CJMenu.
Be sure and choose the one for IPS 4.x
