I created a module as suggested in another question:

app/etc/modules/Vendor_Module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <config>
        <modules>
            <Vendor_Module>
                <active>true</active>
                <codePool>local</codePool>
            </Vendor_Module>
        </modules>
    </config>

app/code/local/Vendor/Module/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Vendor_Module>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </Vendor_Module>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <helpers>
            <class>Vendor_Module_Helper</class>
        </helpers>
    </global>
</config>

    </section>
</config>

app/code/local/Vendor/Module/helper/data.php

<?php

class Vendor_Module_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
}

I did refresh the cache, but there is no "YOUR_LABEL" in the "general" tab. What could be done wrong?

Reset to default

There is typo in system.xml. The closing </section> should be </sections> (missing "s" at the end).

And in config.xml

<helpers>
    <class>Vendor_Module_Helper</class>
</helpers>

should be

<helpers>
    <vendor_module>
        <class>Vendor_Module_Helper</class>
    </vendor_module>
</helpers>

Edit:

Helper isn't called correctly, change

<shippinginfo translate="label" module="module">

to

<shippinginfo translate="label" module="vendor_module">

Btw ... file/folder names should start with an uppercase letter:

app/code/local/Vendor/Module/helper/data.php

should be

app/code/local/Vendor/Module/Helper/Data.php

Edit 2:

There are some lines missing:

<groups>                    
    <shipping_times>

should be

<groups>                    
    <shipping_times>
        <label>YOUR_GROUP_LABEL</label>
        <frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
        <sort_order>10</sort_order>
        <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
        <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
        <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>

Edit 3:

Missing ACL ... add to app/code/local/Vendor/Module/etc/adminhtml.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <acl>
        <resources>
            <admin>
                <children>
                    <system>
                        <children>
                            <config>
                                <children>
                                    <shippinginfo>
                                        <title>Shippinginfo ACL</title>
                                    </shippinginfo>
                                </children>
                            </config>
                        </children>
                    </system>
                </children>
            </admin>
        </resources>
    </acl>
</config>

  • Thank you for the answer! I did everything as you said, but I am getting an error: Fatal error: Class 'Mage_Module_Helper_Data' not found in C:\wamp64\www\magento1\app\Mage.php. I tried reading on what might be causing it, but none of the cases seemed to apply to my case.

  • Interesting... I updated the code, now there are no errors, but I still don't see my custom tab.

  • Thank you so much! I do see "YOUR_LABEL" now, but when I click on it, it gives me "404 error", have I made a mistake somewhere? Should I update my code in the question so you can see if I am doing something wrong?
