I’m trying to add a menu item to the home page. I’ve done it before: just add the item to the correct snippets file. The Item appears on the website, but not in “Pages” in the administration page. help? I know it must be something simple. TSK!Thank youd ---

To add a tab to the admin layout, your either can create an extension with a call to tab method (see project wiki on github) or modify existing application layout file. As far as I know there is no simple way to modify admin layout via snippets or layouts as none of it is stored there. ---

Do you mean that you added an item to the menu (e.g. FAQ) but no “page” is created for it? You will need to create that page yourself and create a link from the menu item to that page. Other than that, I think you may need to explain what you mean. Cheers, Mohit. 12/10/2010 | 1:12 PM. ---
