After a few hours of intense googling I have finally figured out why my Magento custom module is refusing to activate. I finally figured it out. It’s all because the snippet of XML that I copied and pasted off a tutorial somewhere did not have the right capitalisation. doesn’t work - EC_All.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <EC_CatalogSearch> <active>true</active> <codepool>local</codepool> </EC_CatalogSearch> </modules> </config> does work - EC_All.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <EC_CatalogSearch> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> </EC_CatalogSearch> </modules> </config> I think next time I’m just going to use the module creator!
