@mercime – Thanks once again! From your reference, I found these two additional guides, and pieced it all together

@mercime – Thankyou! Good to know that my scenario is not an error, just not current functionality.

My problem now is that I don’t know how to code I rely on adding plugins… If I understand correctly, the tutorial is how to create a custom plugin, which may be beyond me.

I know I just have to copy and paste the code into a text file, name it correctly, and copy the file(s) to the correct directory – but I don’t know what to call it, or where to file it – I’ll ask on the tutorial – unless you can tell me

Thanks once again for your quick reply and help!
