How to add a new box in mainpage

[masterZZ]

Hello guys,

 

 

I've installed the extra pages_info-modules, as downloadable from the oscommerce trips&tricks, but I need to add a new box first....

 

How can I do this?

My new template doesnt have this info_pages box so I cant use this info modules..

 

 

Please help.

 

 

Thanks.

Open includes/boxes/information.php in a plain text editor, select 'Save As' and save it under another name.

 

Then change the internal links to match the links you wish to have in that box.

 

Then go to includes/languages/english.php and look for the listings for the information box and adapt those to the new box and files in it, and add this to the list in english.php

 

Finally, add the define for the new box to either the let or right column e.g. includes/column_left.php

 

Provided that your new pages are correctly set up and have been added to includes/filenames.php you should be good to go.

Hello Vger,

 

Thank you for the reply but it didnt work. It seems that the whole site contains the information or info-pages field but it doesnt show it .

I've checked now everything based on the 2.2 Blank files as a reference.

 

Any other suggestions?

 

 

Thanks
