hideCategories

[DivaVocals]

This is where I would have been completely lost.

Why?? the custom product type code isn't anything YOU would have NEEDED to do to use this add-on.. it's a NEW FEATURE I am adding to replace the Optional Modifications section of the current available version.. The OPTIONAL modifications are not required to use this add-on and the current instructions are still valid.. I am replacing it because I realized that instead of using an existing default Zen Cart product type for hidden products that hidden products shouldprobably have their own product type..

Again, if you had wanted to use this add-on there was no need to wait for someone to come along and update it. A file merging program would have had allowed you to have hideCategories converted to work with Zen Cart v1.5.1 in fairly short order


If you are installing ANY add-ons for Zen Cart a file merging program like Winmerge or Beyond Compare is a MUST HAVE tool.. TONS of Zen Cart add-ons overwrite core files and many of the SAME core files.. You CANNOT install Zen Cart add-ons without a file merging program to make sure that you properly merge all the code changes they make.. A file merging program will help you to see where these differences are an put the modifications in their correct locations..

THIS module in particular REQUIRES a file merging program to install as it modifies MANY core files that are modified by/used by other add-ons.
