=== zen_register_admin_page ===

<code>zen_register_admin_page ($page_key, $language_key, $main_page, $page_params, $menu_key, $display_on_menu, $sort_order);</code>

Where:

* <code>page_key</code> is a unique text id
* <code>language _key</code> is the name of the define for the page name that would previous have been used in the box files (for compatibility with existing language packs)
* <code>main_page</code> is the define starting <code>FILENAME_</code> used in the box file and code to direct to the admin page
* <code>page_params</code> are whatever parameters are needed for the page (generally relevant only to configuration and modules pages
* <code>menu_key</code> is a foreign key for the admin_menus table
* <code>display_on_menu</code> is a char with value "Y" or "N" depending on whether it's a page visible on the admin menu, or a subpage called by another page
* <code>sort_order</code> is a numeric value indicating how high up the menu the entry would appear, a high value sinks it down

=== Autoload ===

Create a file that goes in:

<code>admin/includes/auto_loaders</code>

Sample content (minus obligatory comments which should already have been added for good coding standards:

PHP Code:

<pre><code>
if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
    die('Illegal Access');
} 

$autoLoadConfig[199][] = array(
    'autoType' => 'init_script',
    'loadFile' => 'init_ceon_uri_mapping_config.php'
    );  

</code>

Then create a file in 

<code>admin/includes/init_includes</code>

Sample content:

PHP Code:


<code>
if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
    die('Illegal Access');
}

if (function_exists('zen_register_admin_page')) {
    if (!zen_page_key_exists('ceon_uri_mapping_config')) {
        // Add the link to the Ceon URI Mapping Config Utility
        zen_register_admin_page('ceon_uri_mapping_config', 'BOX_CEON_URI_MAPPING',
            'FILENAME_CEON_URI_MAPPING_CONFIG', '', 'modules', 'Y', 40);
    }
}

// Now that the menu item has been created/registered, can stop the wasteful process of having
// this script run again by removing it from the auto-loader array

@unlink(DIR_FS_ADMIN . DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'auto_loaders/config.ceon_uri_mapping_config.php');  
</code></pre>
