I'm running myself in circles. I've followed the hello world example and the one thing it leaves out is what to do with images that you need to place.How does it know where to put them. I ASSUME you must tell it to put them using the
but thats just a guess.
What I'm trying to do is create a secondary set of "quickicons" that will be a subset of the main set. In otherwords the original quickicons will still be there but mine will follow afterwards. I've modified my .xml and .php to account for this.
I think I've got everything worked out but still am confused on this point.
Could someone please help me out.
The only other option I know of would be to unpublish the original mod_quickicon.php file and publish mine all during the install.
Please give me some pointers.
Here is my code....
.xml file =
Code: Select all
