Well, I thought I'd give 'Catalog products PDF reports V1.4' a try.

I ran into these problems.....

in admin/includes/boxes/tools.php

//Admin begin
// '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SERVER_INFO) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_SERVER_INFO . '</a><br>' .
// '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_WHOS_ONLINE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE . '</a>');
// '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PDF_CATALOGUE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink" target="_BLANK">' . BOX_TOOLS_PDF_CATALOGUE . '</a><br>';


tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_BACKUP, BOX_TOOLS_BACKUP) .
tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_PDF_CATALOGUE, BOX_TOOLS_PDF_CATALOGUE) .
tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_BANNER_MANAGER, BOX_TOOLS_BANNER_MANAGER) .
some more files........

//Admin end

My question to you is: Why are these links in at the top commented out. And how do I go about creating a @valid : tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_PDF_CATALOGUE, BOX_TOOLS_PDF_CATALOGUE).

entry??

What files do I have to edit...

Again thanks for your time and guriuing.......

To explain it a little bit better....

You see at step 6 you are spoused to

6 - In /includes/boxes/tools.php, put line :

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PDF_CATALOGUE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink" target="_BLANK">' . BOX_TOOLS_PDF_CATALOGUE . '</a><br>' .

but the above a href (links are commented out and generated some way different with the tep_admin_files_boxes syntax.

Please explain what is the differense.

If I use the a href link I get a

Parse error: parse error in /home/ofgnryef/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/boxes/tools.php on line 35

line 35 contains: '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PDF_CATALOGUE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink" target="_BLANK">' . BOX_TOOLS_PDF_CATALOGUE . '</a>';

[vandiike]

and in the catalog i got these....

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /home/ofgnryef/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /home/ofgnryef/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 13

vandiike, You are making this too complicated. Very simple. MAX admin does not use the same box structure as MS2, which the mod is written for, so you cannot use the link structure they provide.

How about this - just copy one of the other links, then replace the defines so they match the current structure. Not a big leap there.

So add this:

tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_PDF_CATALOGUE, BOX_TOOLS_PDF_CATALOGUE) .

on any line in the array, before this line:

tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_WHOS_ONLINE, BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE));

I have added this mod to several stores, and it works fine. If you are getting a parse error, it is not related to the added link, unless you messed up the syntax.
