Ive made myself a useful little admin strip which I thought Id share with any interested parties. If youre logged in and are an admin it will display the little strip you see above to allow easy access to some commonly used admin pages. Take the admin strip code and either paste it, or use php to include it (which is what I do) into your template - mine is in my header file as its on every page, and its just below < body >. The take the CSS and paste that into your CSS file - customise at will. That should be it.
Im not sure if anyone else had this issue, but the links within the final block about posts, comments and categories didnt work for me. Rather foolishly I just stripped the code from the admin files and never actually tested the links. I have updated the plugin and separate code to fix this.
Also, as Im once again testing Spam Karma on my site, Ive added a link to the admin page and also a number for the recently snagged spam, here is the code for that, the first block goes with the $numposts, $numcomms and $numcats code (just after it is fine) and the second block just goes wherever you want (Im not so sure this works that well really, but hey give it a go).
Like the fool I am, no sooner had I loaded Spam Karma than i though, “Hmm, Ill give Akismet a go” - so I did. Heres the code for displaying the spam count and linking to the admin page for Akismet. I just noticed theres a plugin which allows Spam Karma and Akismet to live together happily, should you wish to try that (Im giving it a go).
If anyone else has any customisations such as this which they feel would be useful shared then please post a link to your site with an explanation.
