Need Help with RSS News Mod coding!

[jrosselli]

Hello Everyone,
I have been struggling with this simple mod to my OSCMax 1.7 cart for the past few days. So far, I have successfully installed the admin store configuration RSS News side of this mod and it's capturing, reading and displaying with links various RSS News just fine. Well, not completely fine if you consider on the admin configuration RSS news menu there are two complete sets of choices, i.e. true or false, number of feeds showing, etc. but it's working.
But the problem I'm having is I can not get the create a news feed side to work. Of course, creating my own news feed for my web site is why I wanted this modification.
The RSS news create is designed to be in the admin tools section but it's not showing up.
I would greatly appreciate if someone would take a closer look at this modification and see if I need to add some of this coding to a BTS page or something. I think this would be a desirable modification. I have it enabled and my error log is clean.
Thank you,
Jacob
I have attached the modification's zip file.

5) Add the following to admin/includes/filenames.php anywhere before
the last ?>

//RSS News
define('FILENAME_RSS_NEWS', 'rss_news.php');
define('FILENAME_RSS_NEWS_CREATE', 'rss_news_create.php');

6) In admin/includes/languages/english.php, add the following anywhere
before the last ?>

// RSS NEWS
define('BOX_HEADING_RSS_NEWS', 'RSS News');
define('BOX_RSS_NEWS_CREATE', 'RSS Create');
// RSS NEWS

7) In admin/includes/boxes/tools.php,
Find:
'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWSLETTERS) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_NEWSLETTER_MANAGER . '</a><br>' .

Add after it:
'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_RSS_NEWS_CREATE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_RSS_NEWS_CREATE . '</a><br>' .



Create a directory named feeds in your root directory if one does
not exist. Be sure the permissions are set to 755 (or 777 if your
host requires it).

9) Install the included mysql file into your database.

That's it.
