And here ’ s the update in admin_header (in bold):

< div id=’globalnav’ >

< ul >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/dashboard/index”,”dashboard”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/categories/”,”categories”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/pages/”, “pages”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/products/”, “products”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/colors/”, “colors”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/sizes/”, “sizes”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/subscribers/”, “subscribers”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/admins/”, “users”);? > < /li >

< li > < ?php echo anchor(“admin/dashboard/logout/”, “logout”);? > < /li >

< /ul >

< /div >

Creating the admin_subs_mail View

There is one last thing to do before revisiting the sendemail() function in the admin/subscribers

controller: Create the form that will allow the user to send out an e - mail to everyone on the subscriber

list. The form itself will be very simple, with a subject line, a text area for content, and a Submit button.

It ’ s also a good idea to include a checkbox for sending a test e - mail only.
