Custom actions

[njw]

I am trying to incorporate simple reports into the custom action area. I've created a php file that displays the report, and I've placed it in the pages folder as printopps.php. I've created Dataface_Application_Menu.html in the templates folder, added a link to it and that displays fine.

My problem is that I can't get the custom action to work. I have the URL as

http://www.archomai.co.uk/oppsdb -action=custom_printopps

but when I either click on it or run it directly from a browser, I get a 404 error.

The requested URL /oppsdb-action=custom_printopps was not found on this server

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks

Neil

Looks like the problem is that -action=custom_printopps needs to be part of the query string not the page path. i.e. use
http://www.archomai.co.uk/oppsdb?-action=custom_printopps

instead.
