Thanks for the reply, appreciate it. "Page Made Easy" looks simple enough but after three clean installs I get

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in /mnt/web_k/d20/s13/a000j1zd/www/ushop4/nfoscomm/catalog/includes/boxes/information.php on line 29

 

just realized I should be able to fix this error, would have cancelled post for now if I knew how.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it. "Page Made Easy" looks simple enough. I imagine that this would work for other links by making a few changes. The most important link I need is "About Us". I have installed Page made easy and it does work.

Any newbe like me and not familiar with the language of Pearl beware, if you install the new link as the last line, be sure you conform to the closing characters in the last line you are replacing.

 

Right>>> BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS . '</a>'); Wrong>> BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS . '</a><br>' .

 

Thanks again and I'll try and get it to work for about.us
