OpenCart Community

Lectori Salutem,

I've made a custom report, a modified copy of Products Purchased, (controller) and changed the query (model), gave it a new title header (language) and layout (view). All looks well and the report shows up in the permissions under System/Users/User Groups so I've enabled it under Access and Modify permissions. So far so good but the report doesn't show up in the drop-down list under Reports.
I know the report works because when I manually add it in the address bar: it shows the correct report with the correct layout and the correct information. So the report is fine. But how do I make it selectable from the drop down list? I'd expect the title of the report used in the language file to show up there (as do the 'original' reports).

I'm surely missing something .... but what?
Thanks in advance for your time & help.

Tech details:
Opencart Version 3.0.3.2
Mods: Export/Import Tool (V3.22) for OpenCart, Remove Short Description, TMD Custom Tab , [underr] Order Invoice - Images
Layout/Theme: default
URL: newshop.bricks2spare.com (irrelevant)

Kind regards,
Leon

you formally installed the report extension?

Eeehhhh...... I guess not
How do I do that? I just copied files. I've tried to find documentation on how to create custom reports but it's very scarce.

This topic has now been moved to the OpenCart 3.0 Support > General Support section of the forum.

How do I do that?

as with any extension, you go to extensions->reports
find the report, install and enable.
The extension needs to be in the extension table to show up.

How stupid of me. Indeed it's there. And now it works!
Found it in the docs eventually (installing a mod) just didn't realize it had to be 'installed' since it also shows up automatically in the permissions folder. The docs refer a lot to version 2 (with .tpl's etc) and the links to the DIY mod builder are dead (probably because it's for V2)?
Anyway, problem solved! Thanks.
