New Modification Walkthrough.

[rustifer]

Good Morning.
Foolishly, I agreed to do a "simple modification" to an oscommerce site, never having seen one before. I've got it "mostly" working, except for the administration section.

I've figured out that I need to upload my form for administering the modification to /admin/modules. I've figured out that I need somehow to add it to one of the groups, and I've tried using "File Access" under "Administrator". Then in the center box, I select "modules" and hit the button for "store files." In the dropdown box, I get my file name. But when it's "stored," I don't get an option for it in the Modules section.

So, currently, I've got it in the "configuration" section, and I've done a horrible kludge where I've manually added it to the urls in the configuration.php file. There's gotta be an easier way than this.

Is there a walkthrough for this process, or something? Your help is appreciated. If the answer is "It's in the manual," could you provide a link? I've scanned over much of the manual, but couldn't find anything related to "adding one's own modifications to the administration screens."

One way is to follow an existing fuction and then "clone" it by dulicating it and renaming where needed.

Since you said you where MODIFYING it and not adding - (and where?) I am not sure what to say other than give a bit more detail and we can try and help you. Which file(s) did you modify already and are you following the exisiting format that OSC uses?
