How do I add a link to my homepage?

[katman1971]

Hi

 

I want to create 2 internal links from my homepage.

 

One link will be under "beautiful Irish Art" and the other link will be in the Customer Service box towards the bottom on the left hand side.

 

How do I do this?

 

Thanks

It will depend on what you are trying to link to and whether the pages have already been created. You can add something like this to catalog\includes\boxes\information.php

 

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_RETURNS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_RETURNS . '</a><br>' .

Sorry, I should have specified in my 1st post. I want to link to a new / fresh page.

 

Does your instruction still apply?

If you want to create a new page and create a link to it from your information box, then an idea is to copy one of the existing pages and corresponding definition file and add the link to the information box like above. You have to edit the copied files in the appropriate places and also add a definition to includes\filenames.php

Ok. I'm new at this so I have to take baby steps.

 

How do I copy one of the existing pages and corresponding definition file?

Copy catalog\shipping.php and rename to new.php in the same directory

Open new.php and find this on line 15

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

replace with

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

 

find on line 19

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

replace with

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

 

Copy catalog\includes\languages\english\shipping.php and rename to new.php in the same directory

Open new.php and find on line 13

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

replace with

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'New');

find on line 14

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

and replace with

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'New');

find on line 16

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

and replace with

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

 

Open catalog\includes\filenames.php

Add before the closing tag

define('FILENAME_NEW', 'new.php');

 

Open catalog\includes\boxes\information.php

find this

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a><br>' .

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

 

and replace with

 

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEW) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_NEW . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a><br>' .

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a><br>' .

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

 

Open catalog\includes\languages\english.php

Find

// information box text in includes/boxes/information.php

define('BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION', 'Information');

define('BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY', 'Privacy Notice');

define('BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS', 'Conditions of Use');

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

define('BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT', 'Contact Us');

 

Add after

 

define('BOX_INFORMATION_NEW', 'New');

Thanks. Looking at your instructions, I think that adds the link in the Customer service box.

 

What about the link I want to put in the text area under "beautiful Irish Art"? Or does your instruction include that also?

 

thanks

There is one thing really bugging me after successfully adding the link:

 

The wording of the link is "New" (in the Customer Sevice Box). I simply want to change the word to "Warning".

 

How do I do that?

 

Thanks

Change "New" to "Warning" everywhere in the instruction.
