This is one of my first article in the series of How to’s in magento. But before you actually start any development on magento you must follow these guidelines.
Step 1: First create a magento module xml file
( app/etc/modules/Pw_Manageproducts.xml)
[break][/break]1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | <?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <Pw_Manageproducts> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> </Pw_Manageproducts> </modules> </config> |
This xml tells magento that module is active and will be available in local codePool.
At this point, you should be able to see your module in Magento Admin Panel. Go to System->Configuration->Advanced->Disable Modules Output. You should be able to see Pw_Manageproducts module listed there.
