Installation

Steps to do the integration

1. - Extract the contents of the zip file to new folder.

                We'll refer to this folder as the distribution folder

2. – Create a folder that we will call the “staging folder”

3.-  Download from your site to the staging folder, all the files that exist in modified folder that you will

find in the distribution folder

 Those file are:   defaults_setup.php and cp/template/default/admin_header.tpl

4.- Open defaults_setup.hp

Comment out the lines:

define('T_CATEGORIES', DB_TABLE_PREFIX.'categories');

and

define('T_LOCATIONS', DB_TABLE_PREFIX.'locations');

Commenting out can be done by preceding the line with two slash //

Go to the end of the file and prior to the ?>

Enter

//BCG BICATLOC MOD STARTS HERE

include(PMDROOT . "/bcg/bicatloc/alt_set_def.php");

// BCG BICATLOC MOD ENDS HERE

5. Open the file cp/template/default/admin_header.tpl

<!--//BCG MOD BICATLOC START HERE//-->

   <a href="#"><?php echo $lang['admin_general_menu_blue_crystal']; ?></a>

        <div><a href="#"><?php echo $lang['admin_general_menu_bicatloc']; ?></a><div>
