    Default Addons not appearing under Tools

    I've noticed this with Testimonials manager and now Google Base Feeder, and I'm sure there is a 3rd.
    Both of the above appear under Admin->Configuration and I can config them ok.
    But when it comes to running/using them, there is nothing under Tools.
    e.g. Google base says "Go to Admin->Tools>Google Base Feeder and follow instructions to create, view, and upload feed file"
    Well there's nothing under Tools saying google base.

    As for testimonial manager, I have to go into MySQL in order to approve testimonials as I can't access it through zen cart admin.

    Anyone have any ideas as to why my addons don't appear where they should?
    The files have defo gone into the right places and the sql updates appear to be successful.

    I'm on 1.3.8

    I've just found a few php pages in various folders under mysite/admin, and I can see one of those contains options that I am suppose to see under the tools menu.
    But it doesn't show up

    Sounds like you did not do item 3 in the Install section.
    3. Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and install googlefroogle.sql by copying and pasting (do not upload)

    Yep defo done that, twice in fact now.
    It just wiped my settings from the Config section by importing that sql a second time so I had to redo them.
    As far as I can tell, that SQL code only adds the Config section.
    Should there be some more to add something to the tools menu?

    In the configuration_group table the record that was added is the visible field set to 1?

    It is indeed set to 1.
    I can see and configure everything under Configuration->Google Base Config.
    It just doesn't appear under the Tools menu, and neither does Testimonial manager.

    Is there anywhere else to check to see the tools menu in MySQL or something?

    Thanks!

    I just had a thought.
    Is the default zen cart path (Where you log into Zen Cart to configure it) "yourwebsite.com/admin" ?
    I can't try it now as I'm at work, but my site has admin as my site admin, NOT zen cart admin.
    So I probably need to move all the stuff from admin, into the other folder.
    Will post back later if it worked or not.

    Is this file in this location admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/googlefroogle_tools_dhtml.php because this is where the admin menu get its information from?

    YAY this has fixed it.
    I moved all the things from under my admin folder to the stockroom folder and they now appear under Tools.
    My zen cart admin is in a folder aclled "stockroom", and not "admin".
    I assume this is not a standard thing to do, but that's how it came pre-installed.

    For anyone else, it should go in what ever folder you type to get to your zen cart admin website.co.uk/zencartadmin
