Since 1.5.x: You need to ad a new item to the table "admin_menus"
see my example:

Code:

---

INSERT INTO `admin_menus` (`menu_key`, `language_key`, `sort_order`) VALUES('example', 'BOX_HEADING_EXAMPLE', '12')

---

Also need to add a new language define in "your_admin/includes/languages/your_language/extra_definitions/your_file.php

For ZC 139h you would look at the folder YOUR_RENAME_ADMIN/includes/boxes . I would pick a simple one like extras_dhtml.php and copy and rename something like my_menu_dhtml.php Then start modifying it to your needs. Rename the defines like BOX_HEADING_EXTRAS and add the new defines to your main language folder YOUR_RENAME_ADMIN/includes/english/my_menu.php Finely if you create new patch to files, be sure to create a new file name patch file in YOUR_RENAME_ADMIN/includes/extra_datafiles/my_menu_filenames.php

You more then likely heard this before, but I would consider upgrading to the more advance ZC 155f to make this whole process as simple as adding it to the admin menu data table. Once added, then its simply adding items to that menu. Theres even a mod to make this process even quicker, but not for ZC 139h.

A quick search of plugins came up with Admin Page Keys for ZC 151 https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1653

Not a ZC 139h fix.. I've not tried this one. I use my own modified page registration file that allows me to do allot more.
