Anyone know how I can change the name of the link to a module in the main Administration Menu? I would just like to rename some of them. Make it easier to understand to my staff. I would also love to add a link to a module that wouldnt usually show as it is usually a public module, but im restricting it to just admins. Any help would be appreciated.

pretty sure you'd have to change the name of the module.. which isn't nearly as easy as it sounds ;)

thats not it, think about User administration. Thats not even a module. I cant even find it listed in the NS-User language files. Also some have admin, so dont. Something in the module must create this link. I could care less what the actual underlineing code is, i just want to change the viewable link.

this
To:
that
I cant wait till everything is templated, including the admin areas. That way it will be so much easier to restrict and change the appearence of things.

User Admin is a different bird.. check the NS-Admin mod for defines for that.. i'm not home, so I can't look .. but I'm betting on the rest of the names being pulled from the nuke_modules table..

The module aliases feature seems to be working quite nicely. I've upgraded my site to .760rc1 on friday and have setup a few aliases (pnForum->Forum, advanced_polls -> Polls). The only thing you have to make sure of is that you don't have any clashes between modules (i.e. a module alias the same as an existing module). In my case i've had to remove core polls module since I wanted to use that name as an alias for the advanced polls module.
The other additional use for this feature is for non english sites. These sites can use a localised name for any feature as the module alias.

LOL, i figured out how to add one easily at east, all you have to do is have a file in the module directory named admin.php. The unfortunate problem is that the default link that is created is called main.php, but that wouldnt be to hard to get around.
