If you find yourself constantly clicking through the menu systems of Joomla to get to a particular place, I have a time-saving tip for you.
It's really quite easy to create a custom list of shortcuts you often use and place it in the control panel of your Joomla admin.
This is how you do it:
- Copy the links you mostly use from the backend.
- Go to the "Module manager"
- Click "Administrator"
- Create a new Custom HTML module and put in your links there
- You will want to create meaningful anchor texts for your links instead of using the links themselves. It is easier to use that way.
- Assign the module to the "cpanel" position and save the module.
Now, you have a list of direct links to your favorite parts of Joomla.









Comment Rules: Critical is fine, but if you're rude, I'll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name, blogger name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Tim Ferriss for the inspiration)
