Adding links to Information sidebox

[kpax]

Hi there,

I've been searching far and wide for an easy way to add my own links to the Information sidebox but unfortunately, I haven't found anything so far.

I know that the links will be called from the information.php file but just wondered if there was a simpler way than having to amend several files to add a simple link?

thanks in advance

Hi there,

I'm just struggling with this issue..

What I've done so far:

1. included a new file with the page's name in html_includes
2. Added my defines to english.php (english is my default language)
3. Added the define into includes/filenames.php

The Link now shows up fine in my 'Information' sidebox but when I click on it, it can't find the page I've uploaded to html_includes??

Would anyone have a step-by-step guide as how to make this work?

thanks

Have a look at the about us module in the downloads/sidebox area and read the steps for this as these are the same as for others

Thanks a lot Kobra!!!

That's exactly what I've been looking for. I just amended that module for my own pages and it works great!!

Thanks!!

Hi kpax and kobra, can you let me know where the about us area that you talk about is, as I got exactly the same issue as I wont to add a new link to the 'information' sidebox, and i am having great difficulty in even getting off first base.

I followed the points above and managed to do this:

In filenames.php I put this: define

('FILENAME_CANCELLATIONS', 'Cancellations');

&

In english.php I put this in information box text in sideboxes/information.php:

define('BOX_INFORMATION_CANCELLATIONS', 'Cancellations');

It still doesnt find its way into the 'Information' sidebox.

I have though gone into EZ-pages, and created a new file with page title Cancellations.

Ok I have finally got it displaying in the 'Information' sidebox, by adding this line to the information.php page:

if (DEFINE_CANCELLATIONS_STATUS <= 1) {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CANCELLATIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CANCELLATIONS . '</a>';
}

Unfortunately it doesnt connect up to the page i created in EZ-Pages, so only this last step now, and all should be good.

Can anybody help me here.

cheers

Have not seen your site but you can turn off the information side box completely and recreate it as an ezpage sidebox with all the internal links and any new pages that you might create

I have an existing page called links.html already set up how can I add this to the information box? I had tried editing the information.php but still won't show.
