Creating new category in Administration Control Panel

mgokhale

Hi,
I am new to EPESI Framework. I have created a couple of sample modules that are shown in Administration Control Panel under the heading "Uncategorized" as optional modules. I would like to know how to create new category (similar to "EPESI Core" and "CRM") that will be shown in Administration Panel. On a related note, my module is shown as "Test_MyModule" in the "optional" list. Is there a way to show a more user friendly name instead of one with underscore characters.

Regards,
Mangesh

Hi,

I would suggest you to look through code for specific label to find out how it's done. Go into admin panel, choose one label from buttons and look up a code for it. E.g. "Title and logo" [case sensitive]
Omit langpacks (en.php, de.php, etc)
and you will find file modules/Base/MainModuleIndicator/MainModuleIndicatorCommon_0.php with method

	public static function admin_caption() {

		return array('label'=>__('Title and logo'), 'section'=>__('Server Configuration'));

	}

So in common file of your module, create static function admin_caption and return array with label and section. You can put any text in section and new section should show up.
