Nevermind. I figured out what I was missing

vmtent · July 1, 2006

What were you missing? I would like to know how to add text to the "Contact Us" page as well! :'(

Instead of the define TEXT_MAIN line, I changed it to define TEXT_INFORMATION and also had to edit the configure.php file to call to the TEXT_INFORMATION section. Worked like a charm. If you need me to, I can post exactly what I did and where I did it

Yes, please! :thumbsup: I have my "Contact Us" file correct, but I don't know how to change the configure.php file!

My apologies. It is not the configure.php that you edit to make this work. There are actually 2 contact_us.php files.

One is located at /catalog/contact_us.php and the other is at /includes/languages/english/contact_us.php

I am assuming that you edited the second one just fine. It is in the first location that I included that I added the key line to make this work. I will post both complete pages and point to the addition for you.

includes/languages/english/contact_us.php

I highlighted the new line in the /catalog/contact_us.php It is around line 67.

I hope this works for ya. I basically compared it to the about_us.php files and figured out what was missing and added it.

You can see it in action at http://mesamotorsports.com/store/contact_us.php
