How to create blank page with header, left/right nav and footer

[WebDev22]

We added a series of promotions to our home page and want to add a link to pages with details of the offers. How do you create a blank page with just the header, left/right navigation and footer? Thanks.

Copy an existing page like shipping.php and rename it to what you want. Then rename the corresponding language files and add it to the Filenames page. Example: I want to create a page named "sales-promo". Here is what I do.

 

1. Open your Filenames.php file located in includes/filenames.php

Right before the ?> at the end, add your new page title like this:

define('FILENAME_SALES_PROMO', 'sales-promo.php');

 

 

2. In your root folder, Copy shipping.php and rename it to sales-promo.php (www.yoursite.com/sales-promo.php)

 

 

3. Edit the new sales-promo.php file. Find:

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_SHIPPING);
 $breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING));

 

Replace it with the name you added in filenames:

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_SALES_PROMO);
 $breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SALES_PROMO));

 

 

4. Go to includes/languages/english/, Copy shipping.php and rename it to sales-promo.php

Edit the NAVBAR_TITLE, HEADING_TITLE & TEXT_INFORMATION as desired.

(repeat step 4 for each language folder you have)

 

Thats it!

 

NOTE: The english folder file is the one that contains the actual content you want to show on the page. HEADING_TITLE is the title of the page. TEXT_INFORMATION is the actual body content of your page. You can simply create the content of your page using dreamweaver or something so its easy to edit/create, then simply copy and paste the code into this field (do not include body tags. Only the actual HTML table or CSS)
