adding a page to the header

[pdxdoug]

To put a new page into the information sidebox you need to edit the file:

includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php

- and add the page(s) desired then save it in:

includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE (the over-ride directory)

Insert the new page where you want it listed. Here is a fragment from mine:

unset($information);

if (DEFINE_ABOUT_US_STATUS <= 1) {

    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ABOUT_US) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_ABOUT_US . '</a>';

 }

 if (DEFINE_DESIGN_STUDIO <= 1) {

    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DESIGN_STUDIO) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_DESIGN_STUDIO . '</a>';

  } 

I've added several new pages - The About Us page is the first listed so it's the first in the sidebox.

For the footer, try an ez-page link.

thank you for your reply

my problem is: I did add new pages, for example "about us"

but when I click on it the footer disappears

I would appreciate any help on this issue

Your About Us page HTML output ends with

<div class="centerColumn" id="about_us">
<h1 id="aboutUsHeading">About Us</h1>

<div id="aboutUsMainContent" class="content">

so I would say that there is a fatal error in your define page file content.

The others that are "not found" probably do not have all of the required files correctly edited yet so that the page does not really exist.

I followed the about us module though

I am very lost!

any help plz, any guidance how to solve this

Post the complete content of your define_about_us.php file (whatever its exact name is) between [php] and [/php] tags. Use "select all" to get everything in the file - a space or blank line may be significant.

mesteriously I didnt find any php tag

only this:

<p><strong><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">ABOUT US Sample Text##...</font></strong></p><p>This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.</p><p>You can use either the language-file in /includes/languages/english/MYTEMPLATE/about_us.php or this file separately for this page or, you can use both together.</p><p>To remove the language file definition, do not delete the define statement, set it to be blank. Example: define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '');</p><p>To remove this section of the text (which you're reading right now), delete it from the Define Pages Editor, located under Tools in the Admin.</p>

I meant for you to use vBulletin tags as shown when posting to make the content highlighted as PHP. Since there is only HTML in the file you posted, that becomes irrelevant. This looks like the stock file that comes with the About Us mod - have you edited it at all?

it was a permission problem

I dont know why, but this is it

I sat my html_includes file to 777 and now the footer appears

thanks for your time and help : )
