Creating frontend new menu item for flexicontent

Hello,

Im in need to create another menu item for flexicontent component on the backend, i.e :
Home, items, types, categories...import, statistics, My menu item1,My menu item2 etc

But for some reason im unable to find the correct php file rendering that menu, is it possible to have a hint in right direction ?

I do understand that im gonna need to create a new view, so my other question, is there any difference between creating view with joomla official tutorial on creating view and the flexi way to create the view ? i mean what is the correct way to create view with flexicontent ?

Thanks in advanace,

use a module like
extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... cons/11347

Hi micker,
Thank you for your reply.

As far as i can see this is a menu for the joomla backend
control panel, but what i need is flexicontent's menu, like when you select flexicontent on components menu, then you got the FC home page, and to the left you got options like: ITEMS, TYPES, CATEGORIES, FIELDS etc, all FC views, and i would like add one of my own. Im on to creation of views now, and i wanted to know how do i place the link on that menu with my own view.
And while at it ill be glad to know if there is anything to know about creating views for FC.

Thanks again and best regards.

Hello

this is a general Joomla question,
(also i added "frontend" to the title of this forum thread)

simply duplicate an existing XML and php file:

e.g. duplicate:
components/com_flexicontent/views/NNNN/tmpl/default.xml
components/com_flexicontent/views/NNNN/tmpl/default.php

and make these:
components/com_flexicontent/views/NNNN/tmpl/mycustom_tmpl.xml
components/com_flexicontent/views/NNNN/tmpl/mycustom_tmpl.php

and modify them

Thank you for your reply ggppdk,

Although useful information, but its not exactly what i meant. Actually i meant a backend view for FC, i attached a screenshot to clear the fog of misunderstanding ..


Lets say i copy existing view (say items view for backend), how do i put a link on that menu ?

Hopefully all be ok now

without hack no possible ...
