Mods & Their Order
 

Hello,

I was curious, which part of code is responsible for determining in which order will the installed addons appear in the options tab.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1335551221

Firstly, I thought, if I install mods (1, 2 and 3) in the same order, they will appear so, I did that, but then they appeared as 3, 1 and 2. My point is to be able to control the order, so I can install them and have the appear in the desired order.

Any ideas?

I believe it's in the cpnav xml file that you upload for the modification.

When programming the product options display number specifies Forum

I don't understand this. Could you please elaborate a little bit?

To be honest, I didn't even get, what Lynne suggested, e.g. what's "CPNAV XML FILE"?

The menus on the left side in the admincp are defined in "cpnav_" xml files (stored in the includes/xml folder). The choices in the Options menu are stored in the settinggroup table in the database, and that includes a displayorder value. As someone pointed out above, for imported products this is set in the product xml file. So I think there are 3 ways you could change it: 1) edit the product xml files and reimport the products, 2) put your site in debug mode and edit the setting group in the admincp ("[Edit]" link appears next to setting group name when in debug mode), or 3) you could go in to the database and change the display order directly.

Hello,

I'm aiming towards editing the XML file, but I can't seem to be able to locate it in there, going line by line, I don't see it anywhere.

In what tags is the display order placed?

Thanks in advance,

There should be an options tag with a settinggroup tag under it with a displayorder attribute, like:

Yep, found it.

Anyhow, higher number means closer to the bottom?

But, if mods get updated you would be needing to do that each time. ;)

PS. Is there a maximum allowed number? It looks like it's not accepting anything above: "65535".
