Admin menu item is missing

Admin menu items are controlled by the following factors:

1. Profile Permissions

   If you are logged into Admin with a user whose profile doesn’t have access to that page, then the menu option won’t display for you.

   See Admin Profiles for more information.

2. A database entry in the admin_pages table. Here is an example of the creation of such an entry being added:

INSERT INTO admin_pages (page_key, language_key, main_page, page_params, menu_key, display_on_menu, sort_order) VALUES ('pricepop', 'BOX_TOOLS_PRICEPOP', 'FILENAME_PRICEPOP', '', 'tools', 'Y', 500);

(Note that BOX_TOOLS_PRICEPOP and FILENAME_PRICEPOP must be defined as noted below.)

3. Text strings defined to display the item

Menu options don’t display if the FILENAME_ or BOX_ constants for them aren’t defined.

These constants are defined in various places:

• /includes/filenames.php (for core system files, not plugins)
• /admin/includes/languages/english.php (for core system files, not plugins)
• /admin/includes/extra_datafiles/*.php (for plugins)
• /admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/*.php (for plugins)

(And for other languages, consult the corresponding language directories/files.)
