Custom extension disable functionality is not working

Question

I have created a custom extension.

I created tabs in system > configuration tab to enable and disable of extension. Now options for enable and disable is visible in back end.

Now the extension is active but even selecting enable to 'no' at admin panel.

Answer 1

Try disabling the module after changing the configuration scope to website and store. If still it doesn't disable your module, then you have to disable it from app/etc/modules/your_module.xml

change <active>true</active> to <active>false</active>

Answer 2

You can disable that new custom extension from your root folder.

For that,

1. Goto your root folder > app > etc > .modules > your_extension.xml
2. Change the status of that extension from <active>true</active> to <active>false</active>

You can see like,

   <config>
      <modules>
        <Your_Extension>
           <active>false</active>
           <codePool>community</codePool>
         </Your_Extension>
       </modules>
    </config>

Answer 3

this is just field containing value to yes no

You have to put condition all the places where you want to disable this functionality

$flag = Mage::getStoreConfig('sectionName/groupName/fieldName');
if($flag){
   // your code
}
