    Add Menu Item for custom view

    Does anybody know how, using VBA module, to add an item to the Raisers Edge left menu pointing to a custom page? In this case it would be a browser page. Thanks

    Add Menu Item for custom view

    The easiest way is to open the VBA environment and using the code wizard select the two customize front end procedures. You then need to implement them as the template shows. There is an entry for Blackbaud's website there as an example. This will then but an item on the menu bar for the site. If you want to customize the button you will need to write a plug-in that opens a site and specify the graphic that is used by the plugin when implementing the IBBPlugin interface. This plugin should then be referenced by the customize front end routines instead of the site directly. That way you get to have your own graphic and title there instead. If you need any help then please do not hesitate to contact me. David Zeidman Development http://www.zeidman.info

    Thanks a lot for that very useful information. I've got the basic customization working and will look into the iBBPlugIn functionality. Cheers- Ka
