Heckza Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone, I've just installed the NEWS SECTION Add-on (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4394). I followed the instruction file perfectly and re-check many time that everything is ok ... and it is!! My problem is on the Front End. Everything works, except one thing... the READ MORE link appear like this : http://website.com/FILENAME_NEWS If I click on it, its a 404 Error. I guess the catalog/include/filenames.php must have something missing...! I added this myself to try : define('FILENAME_NEWS', 'news'); to refer to the news.php in the catalog root! doesn't work. I also tried to edit the news.php and replace this <a href="<?=tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWS)?>" class="column_link">Read more<br> with <a href="news.php" class="column_link">Read more<br> When I click on it, it gives me a Blank Page. The Setup.txt file read like this : copy all files in same folder make the table the sql in ur database 1. add the line in admin/includes/boxes/tools/ '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWS_SECTION) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_NEWS_SECTION . '</a><br>' . CONFIRMED/DONE : if ($selected_box == 'tools') { $contents[] = array('text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWS_SECTION) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_NEWS_SECTION . '</a><br>' . '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_BACKUP) . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_TOOLS_BACKUP . '</a><br>' . 2. add the box at front end any where u want catalog/includes/column_left.php require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'news.php'); CONFIRMED/DONE : Released under the GNU General Public License */ require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'news.php'); if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) { Any suggestion contact me : [email protected] [email protected] 3.

xbusymom Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 the first thing I see is the missing 'end-anchor' if you have a start anchor <a with the link-to information behind it <a href= link codes- etc.>text that people see you need a stop anchor </a> so you get... <a href=linkcodes>text people see</a> Quote
