Hi,

I have just installed a feedback and discussion forum for customers to my store, however I do not know how to put a link to it from my index page.

I would like a link in the information box.

my store is located at www.justonlineshop.com/shop

and my forum is located at www.justonlineshop.com/forum.

 

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.

A quick way to do this is one of two methods I would use:

 

METHOD 1: Open /includes/boxes/information.php

 

Look for this:

 

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' .

 

And change to this:

 

'<a href="www.justonlineshop.com/forum">Online Forum</a><br>' .
'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' .

 

Or this method may work as well if you want your forums to rank better so the search engine doesn't see it as leaving your site and re-entering it:

 

 

'<a href="../forum">Online Forum</a><br>' .
'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' .

 

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Bruce

Hi Mark, I installed the forum using the fantastico cpanel on my server.

Would it be moe beneficial to have it integrated into the site or would it work out the same the way it is?

 

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the advice, I have now done it.
