Didn't even see that you wanted to edit the admin area the first time around . The XOOPS admin area in the 2.0.X branch does not use templates or themes, so any modifications would have to be hacked into the actually PHP files themselves. This is something I probably would not recommend for a beginner. If something goes pear shapped it can be a right pain in the bum to restore.

Xoops 2.2 will be out in a few months which will have a LOT more flexibility for modifying the look and feel of the XOOPS admin interface. My suggestion would be wait for that. If you must have it, then I can help you, I'm just a little paranoid about editing the admin area .

In that case, open admin.php and just above xoops_cp_footer(); on around line 163 put this;

echo "

Link 1     Link 2

";


You will need to modify it for your needs.

Thanks for the help, but what i am trying to do is make the links show up on every page in the admin section, with that code, the links only show up when u 1st login, once you click on a section, eg banner, the links go :( and i end up with just the footer again.

In that case you'd probably need to put that code in something like /include/cp_header.php, or add it to each modules admin.php file.
