Which file do I edit?

[Guest]

Using a very very old version from 2003 ....

 

On the left-hand side under "Information" there is a "contact us" link using contactus.php. I want to edit that to a URL for a help desk instead of using the contact form.

 

Which file do I edit to change the link?

 

I see the text in information.php -- is that it?

 

 

<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>');

 

And, how would I change if (if that is indeed it)? can I delete the link above and just put in my own code, i.e. a href="http://www.helpdeskurl.com"> contact us

Yes ... in (catalog)/includes/boxes/information.php, you take that link:

 

<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>');

 

and change it to whatever you named your helpdesk in your (catalog)/includes/filenames, and leave the "contact us" text there. So it will say "contact us" and point to your helpdesk. You code this such as:

 

<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_HELPDESK) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>');

 

Note: I'm just guessing your helpdesk is named "HELPDESK" in your (catalog)/includes/filenames. Go into the file and see for yourself what it's named. Good luck.

Thanks, but I have no file named helpdesk -- my helpdesk is installed on another domain on another server totally.

 

I tried editing the file and it kept breaking it ........ I finally changed the <a href=" to the helpdesk URL and for some reason, it removed the 'contact us' from the main page under information.

 

For now, I named contactus.php to something else so no one can use it.

 

But, I can't seem to be able to make the "contact us" show up as a link .... so I figured I'd put it in the footer. Heh. I can't find the file. Footer.php isn't the file

If all you wanna do is link them and you don't care if it's to another domain, just change the line to this in your includes/boxes/information.php, assuming that it's the last line of links in there, which it seems to be, based on your code ... having the '); at the end (target them to _blank to open a new window, leave it out to keep the same window):

 

'<a href="http://www.linktohelpdesk.com" target="_blank">Contact Us</a>');

Thanks, I'll try that and scream if I break anything
