Here are the instructions I follow. After (or before) you do this you need to create your code in notepad (for your sts template) and name it new_page.php.html and upload it to your sts directory (my_templates?).Download the following files:

 

catalog/conditions.php

catalog/includes/languages/english/conditions.php

 

Save them (on your Hard Drive as):

 

catalog/template.php

catalog/includes/languages/english/template.php

 

When you want a new page:

 

Open catalog/template.php (on your HD) and change the following:

 

CODE

 

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_CONDITIONS);

 

 

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS, '', 'NONSSL'));

 

 

 

To:

 

CODE

 

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_NEW_PAGE);

 

 

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEW_PAGE, '', 'NONSSL'));

 

 

 

where NEW_PAGE is the name of your new page.

 

eg if you wanted a page called "about_us.php" the code would be:

 

CODE

 

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_ABOUT_US);

 

 

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US, '', 'NONSSL'));

 

 

 

Save and Upload both:

catalog/template.php

catalog/includes/languages/english/template.php

 

to their respective places on the live server, and then rename them BOTH to whatever, in the example: about_us.php

 

Set CHMOD 777 on your newly created and renamed:

 

catalog/includes/languages/english/about_us.php

 

Download, and open up includes/filenames.php and add the following:(correction from Rhea added here)

 

CODE: (In includes/filenames.php)

// New page about_us.php

 

define('FILENAME_ABOUT_US', 'about_us.php');

 

 

 

Save and upload includes/application_top.php

 

Now go Admin > Tools > Define Languages > about_us.php

 

Done. It sounds complicated but once you get the hang of it, it takes no longer than 2 minutes. It maintains the proper Osc structure.
