Adding a button in Admin.php

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Trying to add a button to the Paid Subscriptions page to open a popup that displays a new php/html script.  The button is easy in Admin.php -

Code Select Expand



'paidsubscribe' => array(
'label' => $txt['paid_subscriptions'],
'enabled' => in_array('ps', $context['admin_features']),
'file' => 'ManagePaid.php',
'icon' => 'paid.gif',
'function' => 'ManagePaidSubscriptions',
'permission' => 'admin_forum',
'subsections' => array(
'view' => array($txt['paid_subs_view']),
'settings' => array($txt['settings']),

/// Add pick button
'pick' => array('Random Pick'),

),



... but haven't been able to make it do anything.  It appears the buttons in this subsection call functions from ManagePaid.php, so a new function would be needed, but can't get it, and am unable to do anything inline in Admin.php.  Just want to call a new php script and load it into a popup.

How to do this?

Hard code button in template.

If a screwdriver wont work, use an axe.

That's what I set out to do, but haven't been able to find it in the template.

You can always include your file in one of the hooks that has your needed function to call.

Finally found it in GenericMenu.template.php. 

Some day I'll have to learn about hooks and functions, but not tonight.
