Hi!

 

Yes you can do this i'll run you through it

 

1) open up catalog/conditions.php

 

2) save it as another file renaming it (must be unique) under the in the same folder as the conditions.php. In this example we will use newpage.php.

 

3)Now in newpage.php find all instances of conditions or CONDITIONS and rename them newpage or NEWPAGE respectively.

 

4) Open up catalog/includes/application_top.php and find the list of file definition and insert the following line.

 

define('FILENAME_NEWPAGE', 'newpage.php');

 

5) Open the conditions.php language file located in catalog/includes/languages/english/conditions.php

 

6) Save this in the same language folder as newpage.php

 

7) Again change all instances conditions or CONDITIONS and rename them newpage or NEWPAGE respectively.

 

8) Change the following lines to whatever your new page will need in it

 

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Conditions of Use');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Conditions of Use');



define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Conditions of Use information.');

 

for example

 

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'New Page');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'The New Page');



define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'This is a new page see whats so new about it.');

 

9) The TEXT_INFORMATION bit is the main body of your page!

 

Goodluck and back up before you try!!

Sorry point 6 was a little misleading it should read

 

6) Save this as newpage.php in the same language folder as conditions.php.

 

 

Also main page should have a corresponding language file eg

 

catalog/newpage.php

 

and its language file

 

catalog/includes/languages/english/newpage.php

hello, thanks for the reply...

ok you need to open catalog/includes/boxes/information.php

 

Then change this line

 

 

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

 

to

 

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWPAGE) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_NEWPAGE . '</a><br>' .

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

 

 

Next in catalog/includes/languages/english.php find

 

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

 

and below that line place this one

 

define('BOX_INFORMATION_NEWPAGE', 'New Page');

 

 

And that should do it!!

ok you need to open catalog/includes/boxes/information.php

 

Then change this line

 

 

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

 

to

 

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEWPAGE) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_NEWPAGE . '</a><br>' .

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

 

 

hello, thanks for the reply.

 

 

i did that bit but i dont know if i've done it right.

 

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

 

 

and then replace it with the second code you gave me ?

 

 

thats what i did anyway and it didn't seem to work :(

Wow, I just wanted to commend Rumble for his persitence in helping out in this thread. I was just reading through the threads as I have not been here for a while and I came accross this one.

 

Rumble, you are surely an asset to this community and a real help.

 

As a whole, I have also noticed that it seems this whole forum has become alot more useful and friendlier than it was just 3 months ago.

 

:D :D :D :D :D

Thanks Carlo, the way i see it oscommerce does me a big favour so I guess this is my way of returning something back!

 

Also its lets me learn more about the system and php (i've come across php since jan 2003)

 

But thanks again you put a nice big smile on my face! :D
