Hi,

I'm writing a couple of modules that are for Admin/Host use only.

Does the existing Extension packing (5..x) allow you to declare a module component to be installed as a Admin/Host module which is then added to the Admin/Host menu during installation along with not showing the module as a general module?

Do I need to include an sql script to do this in the package? If so are there any scripts out there that someone would care to share?

Ideally this would be great if this feature was already in the core installer.

Cheers,

Colin

 Hi Prashant,

Thanks for the reply. :-)

Thanks for the tip, I can use that elsewhere. In this case it's not permissions that I want to set for the module.

I want to add the module to the Admin or Host menu during installation.

What I'm trying to find out is:  

1). Is there a property in the manifest that I could set that informs the package installer that this is a Admin or Host module as opposed to a standard module and once it determines it is a Admin/Host module that it it adds a tab and injects the module on the required Admin or Host menu.

2). At the moment the only way I can see how this is done is to add a SQL script to the package that will work all this out and inject it for me. The problem with this approach is that the core can change.

Ideally it would be great if it was built into the Package Installer.

There are numerous modules out there that do this through SQL, for example iFinity UrlMaster.

Cheers,

Colin
