trying to add a link under catalog in the admin

[thinkweb]

hey guys

I want to add my own "mod" and link it up under the catalog heading in the admin.

i edited catalog.php and added

tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_MARKUP, MARKUP)

[quote]

and created a markup.php file however the link is not showing up.

Any ideas?

thanks[/quote]

ok i changed it to

 tep_admin_files_boxes(FILENAME_MARKUP, BOX_CATALOG_MARKUP)

i also added the file markup.php into the admin_files table, associated to 3 (catalog) and it still isn't showing up

which verison of OS Commerce are you using?

[thinkweb]

what ever the version is that i downloaded from this site

[red_fraggle]

You using max 1.5 or max 1.7 ?

[thinkweb]

1.7

[red_fraggle]

open admin/includes/filenames.php and look for this code

//end PayPal_Shopping_Cart_IPN

add directly after it this code

//Added by Thinkweb for custom module link in admin
define('FILENAME_MARKUP', 'markup.php');

[thinkweb]

ok sweet, now it shows up however the name is wrong.

it says BOX_CATALOG_MARKUP

is there somewhere i am missing adding the name?

thanks!

[thinkweb]

nevermind i edited /catalog/admin/includes/languages/english.php and defined BOX_CATALOG_MARKUP there.

thanks again for the help

[thinkweb]

ok i guess the next step, is how do i get the heading and all that and any needed osc code to make that page work. is there a modding tutorial somewhere?

thanks
