Trouble adding new report

[Anonymous]

I downloaded a LOW STOCK LEVEL REPORT from the contributions site for OSC 2.2-MS2. I know that the Max version does things a bit differently, but I followed the instructions for the contribution and then changed them to match the reports that already exist in Max, but the report refuses to list in the Report menu.

If I change the line
tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_STATS_CUSTOMERS, BOX_REPORTS_ORDERS_TOTAL) .

to

tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_STATS_CUSTOMERS, BOX_REPORTS_LOW_STOCK);

the report title shows up in the menu, the the URL points to the report for Customer Orders, which tends to suggest that there is something wrong with the Low Stock Level filename. I have made sure that the entry exists in filenames.php

define('FILENAME_STATS_LOW_STOCK', 'stats_low_stock.php');

and all other areas (english.php and index.php) where the Customer Orders shows up but still no dice. And I have also made sure that stats_low_stock.php resides everywhere stats_customer.php resides \catalog\admin and \catalog\admin\includes\languages\english.

Has anyone installed this contrib on Max and if so, did you get it to work and how?

Thanks

I had the same problem with a different report. I found I had to go under "file access" in the administrator menu, click on "reports", then click the "store files" button. This gave me a drop down menu, where I was able to select the name of the report (in my case stats_sales_report.php). After that it showed up in the reports menu. I'm new to MS2-MAX, and don't really understand the Administrator menu yet, but that's what worked for me.

Kevin, that is how the permissions system works. Each new section of the admin has to be assigned a palce/permission or it is inaccessable. That is what allows multiple group levels, so you can have admin, data entry, etc. It allows a lot of control over who can use what.
