How do I add new page in information box?


Guest

I need to add a Size Chart and I would like to add it in the information box on the left side. Anyone know how I go about doing this? I have put all the information in the conditions.php temporarily and it works but can't seem to find how to add another page or change the name of the conditions page and make it work.

 

Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated.

First to make the page,

 

You can try this addon: PageMaker

It is old but still works, and gives instructions on how to make a new page. To do it correctly, you'll need to create the correct language file, the page itself, and define the filename and box_information in your language file. Page maker just helps you do that rather quickly.

 

Or you can follow the directions in this post.

 

 

Once you have made your new page uploaded it etc..

 

You then need to reference it inside your information box.

 

To do that, simply go to catalog/includes/boxes/information.php

 

On that page you'll see text that looks somewhat like this:

 $info_box_contents = array();
$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_information_show_category() .
	'<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_GV_FAQ, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_GV . '</a><br>' .
	'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FAQS, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . 'FAQ\'s' . '</a><br>' .
	'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a><br>' .
	'<a href="' . FILENAME_RSS . '?language=' . $lang_code . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_RSS . '</a>');

 

Follow the same format above to insert the page in the desired location. In the example above this information box looks like this.

Just create a new line and

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SIZE_CHART, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SIZE_CHART . '</a><br>' .

 

Unless you put it at the bottom of the box in which case follow the last line above and add a ; instead of a . Then switch the previous last line from ; to . so that only the last line has the ;

 

In php the ; means end line, while . means "and" so we are saying and and and and and stop with . . . . . ;
