menu.json

Use this file to define your menu items. These will automatically show up in the admin center's main menu accross the top

This is a "Json" file --- a javascript object that both the admin center and the front-end can parse effectively. It follows a very specific format:

•	The whole thing is enclosed in square brackets: [ ]

•	Each item or setting definition is enclosed in curly braces: { }

•	Each piece of the definition is a colon separated list using quotes to surround the values. The first value is the "key" name, the second value is the data value for that key.

•	Statck up multiple setting definitions by using commas.

The configuration setting definition uses the following keys:

prompt: The wording shown on the menu

url: The url to open up when this option is clicked. Use [PROGRAM] to specify the admin.php program's URL automagically.

[

{

"prompt":"Blog Admin",

"url":"[PROGRAM]?admin=blog&action=blog_admin"

{

"prompt":"Mass Emailer",

"url":"[PROGRAM]?admin=blog&action=send_mass_email"

}

]
