New to Oscommerce

[mesquite]

I've purchased and had installed an Oscommerce template for the first time and need help to install items such as Returns Policy, Delivery Policy, etc.

 

Is there a step by step guide I can view and download that will help me with this?

There really isn't a file or anything that you need to install in order to get this to say what you want. It's actually pretty simple once you find the right file. In this case, you would do the following steps:

 

1.) Login to your admin panel

2.) Go to Tools

3.) Go to File Manager

3.) Navigate through the folders to go to /includes/languages/english/shipping.php

4.) Find the piece of code that says "define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Shipping & Returns information.');", and replace 'Put here your Shipping & Returns information.' with all of the information that you want to display for shipping and handling.

 

Make sure that you keep the '); in place at the end of that line. Very Important! Also, while you are writing your text, if you want to create a new line to be displayed on your site, don't use the ENTER key. Instead, type in <br> where you want the line breaks, and it will be translated into a line break.

 

I hope that helps a little bit, and forgive me if I was trying to talk too simple or anything. Good luck!

If you do a search in the contributions there is one for this. I beleive they have modified the files so that they have the "Web Standard" Policies. This maybe easier to use and modify for yourself rather than starting from scratch

Many thanks.

I want to learn and all comments are very welcome.

I hope you don't mind if I need help again.
