how to do an Add ons install?

[swguy]

If your cart has includes/modules/CUSTOM/attributes.php
and CUSTOM is the name of your template
and the mod has includes/modules/CUSTOM/attributes.php

then uploading will install the mod's copy of attributes.php, which is the one your site will use.

Now note that the mod generally doesn't have

includes/modules/CUSTOM/

It might have

includes/modules/custom

or

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE

which would need to be renamed to includes/modules/CUSTOM. (Case matters.)

Thank you for the reply. The mod has CUSTOM which the readme file instructs you to rename to the name of your custom template. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Anyway I've installed (after making more backups and copies than surely is rational!) and it seems to be working. Guess I'll feel a little more confident next time! Thanks again.
