Description of my issue:

maybe a silly question, but would it be possible to show the Backup Now button on the first control panel from joomla you see when logging in?

I couldn't find anything about this. And the reason why: I was setting up stuff for a Manager for a website, and I would really want this person to be able to hit the backup now button.
Now when I set the rights to that button through Akeeba backup permissions, I also have to set rights to Akeeba's control panel. But then Manager will see the whole control panel, get a "you don't have permission to do this" on everything except the backup now button.

So I figured it would be much nicer for the manager to only see the Backup now button, and then preferably right in his joomla control panel.

is this possible?

edit: oops, sorry, this site is still on 2.5.28. So maybe in 3.4 it is already possible? I have to migrate this site, but it was on old php version first, so couldn't migrate just yet. Recently, webhost has upgraded php, so now I could do migration to 3.4.1.

Hey, Nicholas,

I totally overlooked the quick icon plugin. I enabled it, and then I see the Backup now icon in my Joomla control panel, but the weird thing is that the plugin disables itself right away.

Is this over after I migrate to 3.4.1?

because it seems this is exactly what I want to achieve for my manager group!

thanks, and happy easter,


Corine

yeah, we are talking about the same plugin.

but... still on J2.5, so yeah, it disables itself.

I do not know if it is J2.5 related or not.

let's migrate to 3.4.1 first now, I can do that now host has upgraded php.

will report bakc if in J3.4.1 problem still remains

thanks!
