how to register new module I'm writing for 1.5?

[damiantaylor]

Hi,
I have written a module for Zen Cart 1.5 but am struggling to get the configuration appearing under Admin->Configuration.

In my SQL I have this code:

SET @cid=0;
SELECT (@cid:=configuration_group_id) as cid 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Dynamic Filter';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @cid;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @cid;
INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES (NULL, 'Dynamic Filter', 'Dynamic Filter Settings', '1', '1');
SET @cid=last_insert_id();
UPDATE configuration_group SET sort_order = @cid WHERE configuration_group_id = @cid;
INSERT INTO configuration VALUES (NULL, 'Enable on Category Pages', 'FILTER_CATEGORY', 'Yes', 'Enable the filter on category pages?', @cid, '10', now(), now(), NULL, "zen_cfg_select_option(array('Yes', 'No'),"),
                                 (NULL, 'Enable on All Products Page', 'FILTER_ALL', 'Yes', 'Enable the filter on all products page?', @cid, '20', now(), now(), NULL, "zen_cfg_select_option(array('Yes', 'No'),"),
                                 (NULL, 'Enable on New Products Page', 'FILTER_NEW', 'Yes', 'Enable the filter on new products page?', @cid, '30', now(), now(), NULL, "zen_cfg_select_option(array('Yes', 'No'),"),
                                 (NULL, 'Enable on Featured Products Page', 'FILTER_FEATURED', 'Yes', 'Enable the filter on featured products page?', @cid, '40', now(), now(), NULL, "zen_cfg_select_option(array('Yes', 'No'),"),

/><strong>Hidden</strong> - Hide the unavailable options.', @cid, '80', now(), now(), NULL, "zen_cfg_select_option(array('Greyed', 'Hidden'),"),

DELETE FROM admin_pages WHERE page_key='dynamicFilterConfig';
INSERT INTO admin_pages (page_key,language_key,main_page,page_params,menu_key,display_on_menu,sort_order) VALUES ('dynamicFilterConfig','BOX_CONFIGURATION_DYNAMIC_FILTER','FILENAME_CONFIGURATION',CONCAT('gID=',LAST_INSERT_ID()), 'configuration', 'Y', LAST_INSERT_ID());

The SQL runs ok (and works in versions prior to 1.5) but when I go to Admin->Configuration in 1.5, there is no configuration for my module.
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I can't find much help on this; what I've cobbled together is from another 1.5 module in the downloads section.

Did you go in and grant yourself access to it after you registered the page?
Admin Access Management

[damiantaylor]

Hi Dr B,
I'm not sure how I grant myself access from that menu.
If I go Admin Profiles and Add a New Profile, I get all the checkboxes but my new one isn't listed.

My user is listed as 'Superuser' at the moment. Is it possible to access the 'checkbox screen' for that profile?

[damiantaylor]

Got it!
I forgot to upload this to the admin extra_data_files

define('BOX_CONFIGURATION_DYNAMIC_FILTER', 'Dynamic Filter');

[gjh42]

Glad you got the admin define - it took me a long time to uncover the information that that was even needed. I see you have copied from a mod that missed swguy's post:

SET @cid=0;
SELECT (@cid:=configuration_group_id) as cid
