I'm running 2.2 rc2a , and it works for me. What version are you running?

I will give clearer instructions, if you would like.

That "Can" you're about to open... has worms!

Don't say I didn't worn ya.

i am running the same version as you.

 

I would like clear instructions please. This is very hard.

 

Otherwise, i can pay you $10-15 USD to join my PC via Teamviewer and install 2 new pages and install a discount coupon to my website. I really need someone to do this for me, everytime i attempt it, my website corrupts.

 

Let me know if you wanan do it for $10-15 USD or something. Would be great!

I'll give you some instructions...

Don't worry about paying.

 

STEP 1:

Access your files via FTP.

Goto: /conditions.php

Download that file.

Open the file in whatever editing software you use.

Locate in that file:

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

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

 

Change to:

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

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

 

Now change the name of the file when you save it:

- what_ever_your_new_page_name_is.php (filename does not have to be capitalized)

 

Upload that to your server via ftp.

Place it in the root folder: /

 

STEP 2:

Using your ftp program... locate and download filenames.php. That can be found here: /admin/filenames.php

Make a backup of this file. Just in case you make a mistake.

Open the file using your editing software.

You'll see a list of the following:

define('FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART', 'shopping_cart.php');
 define('FILENAME_SPECIALS', 'specials.php');
 define('FILENAME_SSL_CHECK', 'ssl_check.php');
 define('FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND', 'tell_a_friend.php');

 

Now add this anywhere in that:

define('FILENAME_WHATEVER_YOUR_NEW_PAGE_NAME_IS', 'what_ever_your_new_page_name_is.php');

Save the file and upload back to the proper directory: /admin/filenames.php

 

STEP 3:

Again, using your ftp program, locate and download the following file shipping.php. That is found here: /admin/languages/english/shipping.php

You don't need to edit anything in the file. You'll be able to do that from the admin section in OSC: Tools/Define Languages

You will need to simply change the name of the file to: what_ever_your_new_page_name_is.php

Don't get the two new files confused, because they are the same name. They are located in different parts of the server.

Again, the one you are currently working on is from the language file. /admin/languages/english/what_ever_your_new_page_name_is.php

That is where you will upload the file back to once you change the name.

 

STEP 4:

Go to your new page on the web:

http:// blahblahbla.com/what_ever_your_new_page_name_is.php

If everything looks correct.

Now, log into your OSC account and go to: Tools/Define Languages

Locate your file name: what_ever_your_new_page_name_is.php

Now simply edit the text as you like.

 

One thing to remember when editing your text in the "Define Languages".

When adding words with an apostrophe ' you must add this before it \

Example: What's

Should be: What\'s

 

Hope that helps.

Good luck.... and happy selling.

Please note the corrections in bold:

 

STEP 1:

Download that file.

Upload that to your server via ftp.

STEP 2:

Using your ftp program... locate and download filenames.php. That can be found here: /includes/filenames.php

Make a backup of this file. Just in case you make a mistake.

Open the file using your editing software.

You'll see a list of the following:

 

define('FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART', 'shopping_cart.php');
 define('FILENAME_SPECIALS', 'specials.php');
