I'm SOOOO DUMB, Please HELP Newbie!!!

Howdy y'all, I'm feeling awfully dumb today. I'd like to use some of the community modules but I'm not seeing where I need to put these files. Do I copy them into the existing structure in the locations they "need" to go. Such as if the add-on has a script/file in the Admin directory? Or does the entire module just sit in the root of "Shop"???? If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. :blink:

The module should come with instructions on how to incorporate it in your cart PLUS it should be structured the same as Zen Cart, so if you see a folder called /includes, it goes in your cart's /includes.

And once you install it you may have to go into admin to set it up.

Re: I'm SOOOO DUMB, Please HELP Newbie!!!

When I look into the dist_configure files, the paths and settings are completely different from original configure files. (I've just published my site online) Should I remove them anyway as I think it will help to secure my site?
TIA

Re: I'm SOOOO DUMB, Please HELP Newbie!!!

The dist_configure files are modified when you installed Zen. You need to change the names to protect the innocent (YOU) dist_configure files to configure.php and change the chmod to 644.

Only do this in admin/includes and catalog/includes.

Please read the FAQ at the top of this page and search the Help section for newbie questions, they are the most helpful.

Cheers!

There are already 2 configure.php files created. Shall I remove them first and then rename those dist_configure files to configure? I think it would be better to remove those confusing dist_configure files instead. :wacko:

I suppose you can remove the dist_configure files. If you deleted the /zc_install/ folder, it shouldn't matter. You SHOULD NOT delete the configure.php files and replace them with the dist_configure files.
