How do I add extra PHP pages

[brenridley]

What is the easiest most effective method to add additional pages? I have already placed the navigation in the header. Now I want to make additional pages similar to shipping.php.

 

See site: http://www.janhargrave.com

 

I need to add pages for the menu (About Jan, Speech Topics, Clients, Book Jan For Your Next Event, Quiz) I would like to keep the right and left columns. (Similar to the shipping page.)

Thanks in Advance!

I did find the "Extra Pages" contribution. But it requires myphpadmin to modify the SQL. Is there an easier way?

[FIMBLE]

Easier? not sure. it is pretty straight forward.

 

You will need to do this for each extra page you need to add, where are you adding the link to them?

I added a menu in header.php.

Which contribution is easier...

 

Page Editor

 

or

 

Extra Pages - info box w/ admin

 

or

 

Some Other Contribution?

Ok so extra info would not be good for you in any case!

 

For this we will call it your About_Jan.php

 

In you catalog folder (or top level if your store is root) you will find a file called shipping.php, we will base this on that.

 

Either download a copy or use one from a fresh install package providing you are using oscommerce RC versions, if not grab one from your version.

 

Once on your desk top rename it to about_jan.php.

 

Open the file look for

 

lines 15 & 17

 

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

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING));

 

Make them look like

 

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

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(ABOUT_JAN));

 

Save it and upload it.

 

Next,

 

In your catalog / includes / languages / english folder there is another file called shipping.php

 

Download it to your desk top rename it about_jan.php

Open it

Find these line (only ones there apart from the oscommerce copyright)

 

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Shipping & Returns');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Shipping & Returns');

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Shipping & Returns information.');

 

 

Change to

 

 

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'About Jan');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'About Jan');

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your information in here.');

 

 

Save it and upload it.

 

 

Open catalog / includes / filenames.php

 

add

 

define('FILENAME_ABOUT_JAN', 'about_jan.php');

 

 

Thats it!

Open catalog / includes / filenames.php

 

add

 

define('FILENAME_ABOUT_JAN', 'about_jan.php');

 

 

Thats it!

 

THANK YOU! I had already done the same thing except for the filenames.php part. That's what I needed to know.
