OSCAffiliate v2.5a How to edit left column links?

[bubbab]

I need help finding where in the admin section you can edit the links for affiliates that appear in the left column. Mine are appearing as:

BOX_AFFILIATE_INFO

BOX_AFFILIATE_FAQ

BOX_AFFILIATE_LOGIN

and don't link anywhere in other words the pages don't exists.

 

Thanks for your help.

When you see capital letters like that, it means the definitions for those names cannot be found. That is usually due to an installation error. You need to go back through the installation instructions and find where those get added. You probably skipped that step.

Jack, thanks for responding. I have checked everything over and over and I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. Also the box heading is showing up as BOX_HEADING_AFFILIATE . Does that help or mean anything.

The OSCAffiliate v2.5a directions don't mention anything about adding definitions. Here take a look:

 

******** TO INSTALL **********

 

NEW INSTALLATIONS ONLY (FOR UPGRADES SEE THE INCLUDED FILE NAMED UPGRADE_ENG.txt)

You must also perform a few manual alterations to your osCommerce files:

In catalog/includes/column_left.php (or whereever you want the box) find
