would it be possable to have a admin pannel like as a panel on the home screen but you would be able to costamise what is placed on there e.g. there is 3 sections and they could be site settings and members amd forum settings and this is just used as a short cut but it is all shown in the pannel?

You would need to use php to allow the authid to be placed at the end of the link.  Other then that Just make a panel with links to whatever you want to link to in the admin panel and make it only visible to admins.  I am pretty sure that would work.

The authid is contained within a variable called $authid, and with the admin menu system you should be able to do that. However I cant remember if I implemented the admin menu system and the authid (link protection) in 0.8.1 or 0.9

Neither can I, so I just took a guess. lol

so how would i make this as in what would the sort of coding have to be to get this to show ?
