Hi kim, so will that add that link to the information box?

 

And thats all you got to do?

[Guest]

Ralph.....Give it a go and if you run into any problems, post the code you are using and the error you get, ok?

[Guest]

Followed the example and it took out the categories box, need to and the links to the info box.

Okay....Let's try this again......Before you do anything make sure you have a backup of the files we are changing.

 

1-Open your catalog/includes/boxes/information.php file. It should look something like this:

 

<?php

/*

 $Id: information.php,v 1.6 2003/02/10 22:31:00 hpdl Exp $

?>

<!-- information //-->

         <tr>

           <td>

<?php

 $info_box_contents = array();

 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION);



 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);



 $info_box_contents = array();

 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<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_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>');



 new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

           </td>

         </tr>

<!-- information_eof //-->

 

2- Using the code below as an example, add a line similar to this one line above the last link in the box

 

 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_LINKS, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS . '</a><br>' .

 

Your code should now look like this:

 

<!-- information //-->

         <tr>

           <td>

<?php

 $info_box_contents = array();

 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION);



 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);



 $info_box_contents = array();

 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<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_LINKS, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS . '</a><br>' .

                                        '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT . '</a>');



 new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

           </td>

         </tr>

<!-- information_eof //-->

 

3- Open your filenames.php (or application_top.php if you are using an older snapshot) and add the define for your links page. e.g.

define('FILENAME_LINKS', 'my_link_page_address.html');

 

4- Open catalog/includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE.php and find the section marked "information box text"

 

// 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_SHIPPING', 'Shipping & Returns');

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

 

Now define your links page text. e.g.:

 

define('BOX_INFORMATION_LINKS', 'My Links Page');

 

Save all of your files and upload them to the appropriate directories.

One of the link I'm putting in is www.gateway4gifts.net/links/info.html

would thaat be "http://www.gateway4gifts.net/links/info.html/"

in the application top page in loaded 5, I don't know exactly what to pit as the address and to use " or ' outside the address

[Guest]

Ralph,

 

You need to use the relative address in the define.

 

define('FILENAME_LINKS', '/links/info.html');
