Contribution - Very Simple "Latest News" Main Box

[aboyz]

Hi.

 

I need some help on adding this line..

 

STEP5

 

Open the file catalog/default.php (a.k.a. index.php) in your favorite text editor and add:

 

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEWS); ?>

 

Where you want the text box to show.

 

I don't know where to add this line at?? can someone point me a line so i can add it before what line?

 

Also.. in tools.php

 

<?php

/*

<!-- tools //-->?info=news_text.txt&action=edit

<tr>

<td>

<?php

$heading = array();

$contents = array();

 

$heading[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_TOOLS,

'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_BACKUP, 'selected_box=tools'));

 

if ($selected_box == 'tools') {

$contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FILE_MANAGER) .'?info=news_text.txt&action=edit" class="menuBoxContentLink">Edit News</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_BACKUP) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_BACKUP . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_BANNER_MANAGER) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_BANNER_MANAGER . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CACHE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_CACHE . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFINE_LANGUAGE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_DEFINE_LANGUAGE . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FILE_MANAGER) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_FILE_MANAGER . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_MAIL) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_MAIL . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_WHOS_ONLINE) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_WHOS_ONLINE . '</a>');

}

 

$box = new box;

echo $box->menuBox($heading, $contents);

?>

</td>

</tr>

<!-- tools_eof //-->

 

I think there is a extras line here which u don't need.. the very top line

 

<!-- tools //-->?info=news_text.txt&action=edit

 

the ?info=news_text.txt&action=edit

do you need that line? Becuaase when i go to my admin. I see that line pop up. ?info=news_text.txt&action=edit as a regular text. so i just delete it in tools.php I hope that doesn't mess up anything..

 

Can someone tell me if i need that or not.

 

thanks
