Some time we need to disable extension manually, its easy to do as as every magento extension create its XML file in ‘app\etc\modules’ folder like our extension name is ‘AdvLay_Nav’ so it will create file named AdvLay_Nav.xml when u open it you will see code like this

Code: Select all

<?xml version=”1.0??>
<config>
    <modules>
        <AdvLay_Nav>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
            <self_name>Advance Layed Navigation</self_name>
            <priority>10120</priority>
        </AdvLay_Nav>
    </modules>
</config>
go to <active> tag edit it to ‘false’ and clear your magento cache in var folder and you are done.

Wow it's Great to know this. :biggrin:

Until today what I did was if I wanted to disable an extension,

1st method == Completely removed the extension. ( Using Magento Connect Manager or Manually Deleting the files )
2nd method == Disabled in System --> Configuration --> Advance -> Disable Module Output.

Now I know another way.

Great Thanks for sharing this :)
