       function show_ff_cr_Menu(){
       	if ( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )  {
       		wp_die( __( 'Du hast keine Berechtigung zur bearbeitung dieses Plugins' ) );
       	}
       	global $wpdb;
   
       	$prefix = $wpdb->prefix;
       	$table_name = $prefix . 'class_recruitment';
   
       	$class = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $table_name", ARRAY_A);
       	echo '<br><h1>CLASS RECRUITMENT :</h1>';
   
       	$output = '<form><ul>';
   
       	foreach( $class as $entry){
       			$checked = '';
       		if ($entry["CLASSSTATUS"] == 1){
       			$checked = 'checked';
       		}
       		$output .= '<li>' . $entry["CLASSNAME"] . ' : <input type="checkbox" name="' . $entry["CLASSNAME"] . '" value="' .  $entry["CLASSID"] .'" user=""  to="post" '. $checked . '/></li>'  ;
       	}
       	$output .= '</ul>' . submit_button() . ' </form> ';
