Yes, I did that... anyways, I will try the updated version and report.

This mod is amazing and I was wondering why there was none like this so far. Hope it works for me

EDIT: Tried with new version 0.93

Same problem continues. Have followed the instructions to the last letter and dot.

Etab shows on frontend. Shows as installed on the products page, but no link to options. Tried to go directly to www.mydomain.com/admincp/etab.php and got a 404 error. Absolutely no other problems in the site.

I have other mods installed too and not sure if it is an interaction between them... Please see the admincp screenshot attached.

you should never get a 404.php that means the file is not existing at location,
when entering a url from the admincp direct in your browser you "usually"
gets presented with a login box, if allready logged in, then the page..

check if :
If you have named your admincp something else and defined it in config.php
please make sure when uploading the file for admincp you put it in the right
admincp folder..

else try reuploadingg it
more info on 404 here

but no link to options.

heard of this before, in other mods, will look into it.
im thinking its sharing navigation order id with another mod,
howewer that "should" just place them below
each other. but gonna check on that xml file for you..

UPDATE try this file,
i have test this on 4 boards, 2 of them which werent my own..
Attachment 109468 <- will only work for .93 - .96
place that in your includes/xml/ directory..
it should make the links show in adminCP regardless if there is a file
or not in admincp folder.

Yes i "understand"
and its in the known issues list on first page. its going to be default colour by next version.
so it will match user styles..

[kevius]

Perfect !! thank you very much, very good job !

[Sador]

Just installed it.

I'd like to ask for a small favor as well, if you don't mind. Could you perhaps add the usergroup permissions to the links as well (instead of only tabs)

Because that way you can make 1 tab about a certain subject, with both links to guests, users and admins alike.

Hope you'll consider it.

Simply brilliant work mate, tanks, easy to use and one of the better tab adding hacks..

THANKS!!!! :up:

[durdan1]

Very nice mod. Great work. thanks

[fayax]

Any chance you want to add a feature where the drop-down list can have two columns. So in case someone has like 10 links to add, they can have two columns of 5 instead of one column of ten which will be too long.

If its not too much trouble.

This mod was what I was looking for!!
