Trouble Adding a Information Page

[cloudywool]

i downloaded a osc template and had it installed on my server database.

everything looked nice except it doesnt have a "about us" link/page.

i want the "about us" to be the same format as "terms & conditions" or "privacy policy"

 

so this is what i did trying to add this "about us" page

 

osc>about.php (a copy of conditions.php and made following changes)

 

<?php

/*

require('includes/application_top.php');

 

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

 

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

?>

 

osc>includes>filenames.php (added following information)

 

define('FILENAME_CONTACT_US', 'contact_us.php');

define('FILENAME_CONDITIONS', 'conditions.php');

define('FILENAME_ABOUT', 'about.php');

define('FILENAME_COOKIE_USAGE', 'cookie_usage.php');

define('FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT', 'create_account.php');

 

osc>includes>footer.php (added following information)

 

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="footer">

<tr><td class="footer_td">

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><?php echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY?>  <b><br /><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('privacy.php')?>"><?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('conditions.php')?>"><?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS?></a>  |  <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('about.php')?>"><?php echo BOX_INFORMATION_ABOUT?></a></b></td></tr></table>

 

osc>includes>boxes>information.php (added following information)

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<ul class="information">

<li class="bg_list3_un"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a></li>' .

'<li class="bg_list3"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRIVACY) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY . '</a></li>' .

'<li class="bg_list3"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a></li>' .

'<li class="bg_list3"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_ABOUT . '</a></li>' .

'<li class="bg_list3"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a></li>' .

 

osc>includes>languages>english.php (added following information)

 

// 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_ABOUT', 'About Us');

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

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

 

osc>includes>languages>english>about.php (a copy of conditions.php under the same directory, made several changes)

 

<?php

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

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

 

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

?>

 

 

Result:

The "About Us" link did appear on my homepage footer next to conditions and privacy, but when i click on the link,

i was directed to mysite.com/osc/about.php. which seem to be correct, but the page doesnt load, instead i get this message:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
