Adding Contributions

[DarrenDunnage]

How do you guys edit your files when adding contribs ??

 

Do you use a php editor or file manager in admin panel ??

 

also i was adding a contrib this week and it said " add the following code to the end of what ever file" and at the end was

this

 

?>

 

do i add after that or before it ? the contrb did not work so i have abondoned it for now !!

 

Thanks

I use a pure text editor (ultraedit, but wordpad will do). Others use winmerge or something else (personal preference applies).

 

File mangager is more for moving files around ( like windows explorer), but I use filezilla for this.

 

?> is the end of of php section or file (it closes php). For what you asked, it is the end of the file. What you want to add is before the final ?>

and make sure that you do not have a linefeed after after the the last ?>

 

Every half decent contrib has a support thread. If you have problems with a contrib, ask in the support thread for that contrib.

Wow, this hard and easy. I think there is a thread for this on the OSC site.

 

I have installed WAMP on my PC to act as my ultimate test ste. In the interim, I using an online shop, an online test site (which will become my on line site) and 2 test sites on my PC). It does get confusing at times. Most files can be transferred bettween sites. Others can not (eg config.php).
