Customer NavBar / RSS Content

[mrose]

Hello,

I am trying to add a custom section on the navbar that would, when clicked display rss feeds generated in php.

I would assume that this would be done by creating a new module. I am not sure if I can do what I whant to do by editing the current navbar. I reviewed the dev manual and tried to use the example for creating a new customer module and registering it in Config.pm

I created my NavBarDownloads.pm.

Code: Select all

package Kernel::Output::HTML::NavBarDownloads;

use strict;
use warnings;

# --
sub new {
    my ( $Type, %Param ) = @_;
    [...]
    return $Self;
}
# --
sub Run {
    my ( $Self, %Param ) = @_;
    my %Return = ();
    $Return{'0999989'} = {
        Block       => 'ItemPersonal',
        Description => 'Download Center',
        Name        => 'Download Center',
        Image       => '',
        Link        => 'Action=AgentMailbox&Subaction=New',
        AccessKey   => 'j',
    };
    return %Return;
}
# --
1;

And registered it in .../Kernal/Config.pm

Code: Select all

 # Customer Downloads
    $Self->{'CustomerFrontend::NavBarModule'}->{'99-ABC'} = {
    Module => 'Kernel::Output::HTML::NavBarDownloads',
    };

As a result I get an error when loading html://.../Customer.pl
Backend ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.8.6 OS: darwin Time: Thu Jul 21 10:46:48 2011

Message: syntax error at ../..//Kernel/Output/HTML/NavBarDownloads.pm line 20, near "[..."
Global symbol "$Self" requires explicit package name at ../..//Kernel/Output/HTML/NavBarDownloads.pm line 21.

In all the other .pm I do not see how or were an explicit package name is defined.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out on this or at least point me in the direction of understanding better how to do what I want here.

Thanks in advance and apologize in advance if this is too newbish...
