Parent Portal Custom Menu Item

You can add a custom menu item to the main toolbar of the Parent Portal. The custom menu item can re-direct your parents/students to any web site you wish. To accomplish adding a custom menu item to the Parent Portal, you will need to add some JavaScript.

For example, to add a custom menu item called "Custom Menu Item" to the main toolbar in the Parent Portal that re-directs the user to google.com, follow these instructions:

1. Click on "Administration" in the main menu.
2. Click on "Parent Portal" in the sub-menu.
3. Click on "Parent Portal Footer" in the side-menu
4. In the editor, click on the button labeled "HTML".  This button is located in the 2nd row of the buttons, 6 buttons from the right side.
5. Enter in the text below
6. Click on the save button
7. Test your Parent Portal

Please note, this script below adds a new button to the main toolbar and also sets the default class view to "Class Grid by Day of Week":

<script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $("#ulMainMenu").prepend("<li><a href='http://www.yahoo.com/'><span><< Custom Menu Item</span></a></li>"); if ($("#cboClassView").size() > 0) { $("#cboClassView").val("gridweek").trigger("change"); } }); </script>

Please note, to change the default class view, use the following values in place of the "gridweek" text above:

1. list: Display an alphabetical list of all classes.
2. week:  Display an alphabetical list of all classes by day of the week.
3. grid:  Display an alphabetical list of all classes in a table/grid.
4. gridweek:  Display an alphabetical list of all classes by day of the week in a table/grid.
