Renaming the admin folder stops vqmod functioning in the back-end

Renaming the admin folder stops vqmod functioning in the back-end.

I have edited the pathReplaces.php like this:
// START REPLACES //
$replaces[] = array('~^admin\b~', 'my_new_admin'); 
// END REPLACES //

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. rename admin folder
2. edited config.php and admin/config.php
3. deleted vqmod/mods.cache and all files inside vqmod/vqcache

vQmod Version:2.3.2

Server Operating System:
1. windows 7 running uniserver with php5.3
2. Linux with php5.3

Can you attach your mods.cache file

Attachments:

• mods.cache
• vqmm_menu_shortcut.xml
• add_to_cart_go_to_cart_simple_checkout.xml

the 2 xml files attached are the only 2 in the xml folder. 
The vqmm_menu_shortcut.xml  will work on its own, but adding the other one will 
stop vqmod altogether. 

I've tried a few files, 30% work but the rest don't.

Everything works fine if the admin folder is not renamed.

You will need vqmod_opencart.xml in there too. If you haven't you need to add it

Yes, of course.... I meant the only 2 added!

Obviously without that file it wouldn't work at all.

As I said all mods work if the admin is not renamed.

Renaming the admin stops MOST mods from working.

For example:
the file (vqmm_menu_shortcut.xml) works fine with or without renaming the admin 
folder, BUT,
the file (add_to_cart_go_to_cart_simple_checkout.xml) will work normally, but 
will BLOCK vqmod from functioning all together if the admin is renamed.

This must be an issue with your server/setup as this works on windows, linux 
and osx (tested using vQmod 2.3.2 and OC 1.5.5.1)

Interesting...because I have tested it in 2 different installations. 1 windows 
and 1 linux.

Maybe I have misunderstood the  function...of the pathReplaces.php.
Do we still have to edit every xml file and change every admin instance in them 
to the new renamed_admin?

We could do with some documentation about it....I only checked it because I 
noticed the extra file in the directory.

No the code you have in your first post is all that is needed in order to get 
the replacement to work. XML files can be left with name="admin/foo/bar.php" 
and it will still work as it dynamically replaces the text for the paths using 
a regular expression. This was the reason behind the file, to prevent the need 
to have to edit xml files when you add new ones etc and have decided to move 
your admin folder for example

Aha! I solved it!
There is a bug somewhere when upgrading from older version. My installations go 
all the way back to v1.15 and keep upgrading every time!
I did a clean install and it works!
