You want to add categories to the Information Box? Can you clarify a little ?

I want to add a links page and also a page about wholesale, I dont know how to add the extra links-im a computer thicky. I would like to put them in the information box at the bottom left hand side

I think I understand now. There are several files involved in defining the links in the boxes.

/includes/boxes/information.php

 

 

The Information Box is located in /includes/boxes/information.php. Pay attention to this portion:

 

  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a><br>' .
									 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' .
									 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a><br>' .
									 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>');

 

There are other pages involved here as well. The first is It is located in the /includes/languages/english.php. In this file you will see these definitions:

 

// information box text in includes/boxes/information.php
define('BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION', 'Information');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY', 'Privacy Notice');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS', 'Conditions of Use');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING', 'Shipping & Returns');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT', 'Contact Us');

 

The last file is located in /includes/filenames.php:

 

define('FILENAME_PRIVACY', 'privacy.php');
define('FILENAME_CONDITIONS', 'conditions.php');
define('FILENAME_SHIPPING', 'shipping.php');
define('FILENAME_CONTACT_US', 'contact_us.php');

 

If you wanted to add a link to a file called Wholesale for Example:

 

Change information.php like this:

 

  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a><br>' .
									 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' .
									 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a><br>' .
						 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a><br>' .
									 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_WHOLESALE) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_WHOLESALE . '</a>');

 

Add this in english.php

define('BOX_INFORMATION_WHOLESALE', 'Wholesale Info');

Add this in filenames.php

define('FILENAME_WHOLESALE', 'your_wholesale_page.php');

 

Good Luck

V6 :thumbsup:
