SOS Need Help - Adding new link to SideBox

[zenrajan]

I have been trying to add a new link to the Information SideBox in Zen Cart ver 1.3.6

I have gone thru the archives/current downloads and other threads and have tried to solve the problem using whatever information I could get out of that.

Havent been able to (yet !!)

Cud somebody tell me where i might be going wrong..

Here are the steps I have carried out.

1. added line to includes\filenames.php

define('FILENAME_ABOUT_US', 'about_us');

2. added line to includes\modules\sideboxes\information.php

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

3. added line to includes\languages\english.php

define('BOX_INFORMATION_ABOUT_US', 'About Us');

4. added a folder to includes\modules\pages\about_us

(This folder was copied from privacy and header.php was modified)

5. created define_about_us.php under html_includes

6. created about_us.php under languages\english

7. created tpl_about_us_default under \includes\templates\template_default\templates

This is an emergency !!! I am in deep u know what !!!

Could somebody tell me whether I am on the right track ?

If so where might I be going wrong !!

Can I use EZ Pages to do the same thing ?

IF so how (exactly) ?

Thanks in Advance !!

Well, I'm sure it's not the 'proper' way to do things, but if you're in a jam and racing against the clock, why don't you just go into 'information.php' (it would be nice to make sure you're doing this through the overrides system) and just enter in a line like:

$information[] = '<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourFilePath">About Us</a>';

Thanks a lot for your reply ...

This thread was started a long time ago. In the meanwhile I have been able to add quite a few links to Information sidebox.

The method used was a variation of the one I posted in the thread. (There were some omissions which I had left out which i didnt know about at that time)

Oh and yes I am using the overrides system.

That is a given

Thanks once again...

Can you tell me how you got it to work?

I had already gone through the steps you listed, and got the link to show up, and the header of the page to show up, but it won't call the define page...
