SideBox_MoreInformation Text / Change Page_? name

[dmishle]

The tutorial on changing the heading and nav_bar titles uses:

http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=242.

I found that his tutorial didn't go quite far enough for what I was looking for. The following should prove helpful for those of you looking to change the names of the pages as well as the heading on the page and the navigation bar title.


To change the names of the Page_1, Page_2 and Page_3 files, download english.php from /includes/languages/ scoll down to the comment:

// information box text in sideboxes/more_information.php - were TUTORIAL_
  define('BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION', 'More Information');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2', 'Page_2');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3', 'Page_3');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4', 'Page_4'); 

Changing the contents between the second set of single quotes will change the names of the pages, an example follows:

// information box text in sideboxes/more_information.php - were TUTORIAL_
  define('BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION', 'More Information');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2', 'Your Personal Shopper');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3', 'About Us');
  define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4', 'Under Construction');

I probably should have added Page_1, Page_2, etc in the title bar in order for the thread to show up in the search results. Here is the thread to a how-to on changing the title of the page for SideBox MoreInformation.

I just heard from another new zencart user. He tried the afore mentioned process and had some trouble. One warning that I need to forward, is that if you edit english.php using a wysiwig editor like NVU the html can become "mal-formatted". I would suggest using a simple text editor like notepad or wordpad to edit the contents of english.php.

Never ever use anything other than a true TEXT editor for any php file or you will be doomed ...

We suggest that you never even use your control panel on your server for this as that too will more often than not corrupt your php files ...

Don't forget to upload the changed english.php file back into the same directory / folder that it came from. If you have the zencart installation in both your www and ssl directories, don't forget to save it in both places.

I've changed and upload both the english.php and the page_?.php files and put them where I was meant to I think but I've obviously done *something* wrong
