[MOD] Create Staff Login on Welcome/Home page

[berg128]

Hi, I am Wim and relatively new on this forum and I made a small customization to display a "Staff Login" on the Home Page so you don't have to type the "/scp/admin.php" every time in your browser. Also in the last step Modify the Left-upper Logo on the Staff page to bring you back to the main page.

1. in file /include/client/header.inc.php

*1 - Change:

</div>
<ul id="nav">
<?
if($thisclient && is_object($thisclient) && $thisclient->isValid()) {?>

*1 - To:

</div>
<ul id="nav">
<li><a class="login_staff" href="scp/admin.php">Staff Login</a></li>
<?
if($thisclient && is_object($thisclient) && $thisclient->isValid()) {?>

2. in file /scp/css/main.css

*2 - Change:
#nav a.staff { background:url(../images/icons/list_groups.gif) 0 5px no-repeat #ececec; }
#nav a.user { background:url(../images/icons/list_users.gif) 0 5px no-repeat #ececec; }

*2 - To:
#nav a.staff { background:url(../images/icons/list_groups.gif) 0 5px no-repeat #ececec; }
#nav a.login_staff { background:url(../images/staff_login.gif) 0 5px no-repeat; }
#nav a.user { background:url(../images/icons/list_users.gif) 0 5px no-repeat #ececec; }

3. in file /styles/main.css

*3 - Change:
#nav a.home { background:url(../images/home.gif) 0 5px no-repeat; }
#nav a.new_ticket { background:url(../images/new_ticket.gif) 0 5px no-repeat; }

*3 - To:
#nav a.home { background:url(../images/home.gif) 0 5px no-repeat; }
#nav a.login_staff { background:url(../images/staff_login.gif) 0 5px no-repeat; }
#nav a.new_ticket { background:url(../images/new_ticket.gif) 0 5px no-repeat; }

4. in folder /images

add staff_login.gif

5. in file /include/staff/header.inc.php

*5 - Change:

<div id="header">
<a id="logo" href="index.php" title="osTicket"><img src="images/ostlogo.jpg" width="188" height="72" alt="osTicket"></a>
<p id="info">Welcome back, <strong><?=$thisuser->getUsername()?></strong>

*5 - To:

<div id="header">
<a id="logo" href="../index.php" title="osTicket"><img src="images/ostlogo.jpg" width="188" height="72" alt="osTicket"></a>
<p id="info">Welcome back, <strong><?=$thisuser->getUsername()?></strong>

Great mod. My team was asking for this and your version looks much cleaner than mine did!

Either undo the modifications you have made or overwrite the affected files with originals.
