Ok, this took me forever to figure out which variable I could use. In hindsight I'm not sure why. The following if statement will test true for the menu, but not for the status info on the right hand side. You'll have to use it in several places. In this example I'm using a span for the menu and keeping the existing code for the status info.

[code:1]if (isset($this->link) && $this->link) {
$ret .= "</span>";
} else {
$ret .= "</td>\n\t\t\t\t\t</tr>";
}[/code:1]

Now I just have to figure out how to insert a unique id for each menuu item so I can insert an image before each link.
