Gaining control over header menu

[BassFace]

You've only provided one file to be uploaded.

As a general rule you should provide ALL the files necessary for the mod to work.

• admin/categories.php
• admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php
• admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/header_menu_control.php
• includes/modules/categories_tabs.php

(Just make sure you've add comments to the changed files where you made the edits:
//BOF header menu control

//EOF header menu control

provide the necessary sql file (header_menu_control.sql)

Make sure you note in the readme.txt file that the mod does overwrite 3 core files.

Make sure you include an install.txt file with the mod. (this is in addition to the html files

OK, I'll make those changes and package it up agian. I'm used to doing MOD work for phpbb3, and followed their packaging guidelines, (and borrowed their xml/xsl form for install files, too LOL).

Wow, compared to phpBB3, those are some pretty sparse requirements, LOL.

OK, I've repackaged the mod files, in the manner clydejones suggested. Thanks again!

HeaderMenuControl.zip

This is much better.

The mod works just fine. I set it up on my local server without problems.

One thing to change in the "install.txt"

Change this:

#
#-----[ SQL ]------------------------------------------
#
Run the header_menu_control.sql file in the SQL window of your database manager.

To This:

# run the header_menu_control.sql file using the Zen-Cart Sql Patches tool
# (admin -> tools -> install sql patches)
# For best results, copy-and-paste the code into the query field and press 'Send'.

Cool, I'll make that change and submit the contribution. Glad it installed and worked easily for you. Thank you for trying it out. Nice to see another Colorado resident here, too.

There are several Coloradons on the forum.

One thing you also might want to point out in the install.txt in exactly where the header menu option is located and that you only need to click the red/green button to enable/disable it.
