Privacy file

[bugleman]

I'd like to rename the privacy file to faq but I'm not sure where the privacy file is all linked to. I don't want to mess anything up. But I don't need a privacy file. I have a terms of use and customer service, etc. I made a frequently asked questions page and have it in the privacy file now but I need to rename it to faq. Any way to do this?

The quick & dirty method:

 

In catalog/includes/languages/english.php look for :

 

define('BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY', 'Privacy Notice');

 

and change to:

 

define('BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY', 'FAQ');

However, your page name will still show in the URL as privacy.php.

 

---------------

 

The proper method (by Burt):

 

 

Download the following files:

 

catalog/conditions.php

catalog/includes/languages/english/conditions.php

 

Save them (on your Hard Drive as):

 

catalog/template.php

catalog/includes/languages/english/template.php

 

When you want a new page:

 

Open catalog/template.php (on your HD) and change the following:

 

CODE

 

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_CONDITIONS);

 

 

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS, '', 'NONSSL'));

 

 

 

 

To:

 

CODE

 

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_NEW_PAGE);

 

 

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEW_PAGE, '', 'NONSSL'));

 

 

 

 

where NEW_PAGE is the name of your new page.

 

eg if you wanted a page called "about_us.php" the code would be:

 

CODE

 

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_ABOUT_US);

 

 

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US, '', 'NONSSL'));

 

 

 

 

Save and Upload both:

catalog/template.php

catalog/includes/languages/english/template.php

 

to their respective places on the live server, and then rename them BOTH to whatever, in the example: about_us.php

 

Set CHMOD 777 on your newly created and renamed:

 

catalog/includes/languages/english/about_us.php

 

Download, and open up application_top.php and add the following:

 

CODE

 

 

// New page about_us.php

 

define('FILENAME_ABOUT_US', 'about_us.php');

 

 

 

 

Save and upload includes/application_top.php

 

Now go Admin > Tools > Define Languages > about_us.php

 

Done. It sounds complicated but once you get the hang of it, it takes no longer than 2 minutes. It maintains the proper Osc structure.

Rename catalog/privacy.php to faq.php. Open for editing, and change all instances of privacy to faq. Open catalog/includes/languages/english.php, find the define for BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY, change it to BOX_INFORMATION_FAQ, and change the label from Privacy Notice to FAQ. Find catalog/includes/languages/english/privacy.php, rename it to faq.php. Open it for editing, change all instances of privacy to faq, just like in the catalog/privacy.php.

Open catalog/includes/boxes/information.php, change two instances of PRIVACY to FAQ. Save the files, upload, and it should be good. Remeber to make backups of these files BEFORE you modify them!
