It is possible for the items displayed in the Main Menu to be customised, either adding new items or removing unwanted ones. This is achieved by editing a file within the Scripting install folder. It should be noted that while items can be added to the existing Modules (User, Campaigns, Design, Admin and Support), no new modules can be added.
How To
For this example, we will create two new menu items: a link to the customer's design guidelines in the Design module, and a link to this article in the Support module.
1) Create the configuration xml
Create a copy of the %Scripting Root%\wwwroot\customsplashitems.xml.sample file, and save it as %Scripting Root%\wwwroot\customsplashitems.xml
2) Open the configuration xml
Open the new customsplashitems.xml file in a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++, and some descriptive and example information will appear. Of particular note is the sectionID list, as these numbers identify in which module the new items should appear.
3) Edit the configuration xml
For this example, the Examples section at the top of the file has been stripped for clarity:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sections>
<!-- This block adds the link to the design guidelines in to the Design module -->
<!-- This block adds the link to this article in to the Support module -->
<section sectionID="9">
<add name="User Guide: Changing Menu Items" href="https://manualssynergy.callscripter.com/changing_menu_items.html"/>
</section>
</sections>
4) Save the changes
Once the changes have been saved, it may be necessary to Recycle the Scripting application inside the Application Pools list in IIS before the changes appear.
To remove all changes made, you simply need to remove or rename the customsplashitems.xml file.
It is also possible to hide Scripting standard items using the remove notation shown in customsplashitems.xml.sample.
