information sidebox problem

[balihr]

I have a problem with my information sidebox.

I've used Define Pages Editor for define_aboutus.php but the sidebox opens a 404 page. On hover, my status bar displays mysite.com/index.php?main_page=FILENAME_ABOUTUS
The same problem goes for warranty and payways.

What could be causing this? How do i fix it?

Also, how do i change the order of links in this sidebox?

You have a problem with the About Us mod.

Re-read the instructions and make sure you have uploaded all the required files.

So, on a fresh install, you can not use Define Pages Editor to edit about_us, warranty and payways page? It's here just for show, right? Interesting...

Thank you for your response!

You don't have pages named about_us, warranty or payways on a fresh install. You have to create them (using the about us mod or similar) before they will exist to edit.

You can change the order of links by editing /includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template/information.php.

OK, i don't have a fresh install at hand, but i'm sure i did't install ANY module regarding these pages. I instantlly moved to EZpages. And now, i can see those 3 links in my information box and i actually do have them on my Define Pages Editor dropdown.

But, OK, forget about that. How do i sort links in my information box? Currently, i have Shipping-Privacy-Conditions-Contacts and i want Conditions-shipping-Privacy-Contact. How do i do that?

I will install the AboutUs addon later, thank you.

Each link is output by code that looks something like this:

  if (DEFINE_CONDITIONS_STATUS <= 1) {
    $information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a>';
  } 

You can rearrange them to the order you want, as long as you are sure not to leave part of one behind or put it inside another one.

Can we see your site? Perhaps your template came with some extra pages.

Sorry for the delay, I had to pause my work, i got a baby!

I installed the AboutUs mod and it works like a charm.

BTW, i had a big big problem with my charset - i need iso-8859-2 and couldn't get it. After a few days, i realized i was using iso_8859_2 in my MY_LANGUAGE.php - oh man... Notice the dash vs. underline... It makes me wanna cry...

Those dashes and underscores can be sneaky :)

And congratulations!
