The original post references core mage files, but later there's a reference to updating local files only, so that updates won't remove the code. I’m confused as to which files to edit.

I have added the code to both the files but I must be adding it in the wrong place. Can anyone let me see an example so that I place it correctly. Ta Pete Hi

I would recommend making a backup, especially if you are unfamiliar or just don't want to take chances. If the site is not live or in production mode, diving into PHP MyAdmin can be the best way to learn.

To Correct my answer, the reason for creating updates in the 'local' folder is because they will not be overwritten with updates.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am desperate to use it... One thing i did notice is that my url after clicking submit looks like this... http://www.domain.com/index.php/admin/catalog_product/massAttributeSet/key/340380598230582085023840938931873 it seems like its the /massAttributeSet/ that is causing the issues.
