Designing a mod.. lil help needed.

Hello
I've designed a control panel for my mod and trying to integrate it in to vbulletin admincp.
Following are the issues i'm facing with integration :


I can't find what i'm suppose to write in xml (product) file to integrate my mod control panel in to vbulletin admincp (under vbulletin options drop down list). I referred to this tutorial.

• My xml product file contains :
  

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  <navgroups product="vbulletin">
  	<navgroup phrase="AdiInviter_Settings" displayorder="60">
  		<navoption displayorder="1">
  			<phrase>AdiInviter_Settings</phrase>
  			<link>adiinviter_settings.php</link>
  		</navoption>
  	</navgroup>
  </navgroups>

• Error i'm getting is :
  
  

Now there is 1 problem with theme/style/colors. I've reffered this tutorial.

Kindly help me with these issues.
Thanks in advance.

You should not edit the XML-files manually. Set your board in debug-mode and add the new options using the normal interface. If you export your product, the options you have created will be included.

thank you very much for reply.
Is there any article/tute avail on this?
or lil bit more descriptive contents avail somewhere? b'cuz i googled a lot since past 2 days but couldn't find any full shot written material.
By referring to above HOW TO written in vb.org, i somehow designed that control panel


EDIT :
Found the solution! Posting it for future mod developerz :
Download and install this plugin : Activate Debug Mode
Now you can edit/add/delete every single thing in admincp/forums.

That is not a product file, btw. That is a cpnav file. For the sidebar in the admincp, you know?
