Users on my forum detest the extra click required for the ironically named "QuickLinks." It's not "quick." I'd prefer an extension to replace the QuickLinks menu with a variable number of literal text and link entries so that we can restore what used to be there if we want withou...

There are quite a few extensions that do this but you can check how it's done in this one and do something similar: Sorry, I've lost the context here. To what "this one" do you refer? Also, can you give me, or point me to, a code sample of how to use the $config array? Same way you'd use ...
