How to directly link to defined pages?

[bjraines]

What html php do I need to use to directly link to a defined pages in my template?

[Ryk]

I may be misunderstanding your question, but set up the page you need, find the link in your information/more information/wherever you're displaying it sidebox and right click>copy link information (or your browser equivalent)

[bjraines]

I am making a general template for everyone.

So I need a general php link I can put in the header that will call up defined pages.

So I don't need it to be specific to my domain but a php/zencart variable

If you set up a site and mouseover the links I think you will begin to see the pattern of their naming.

[bjraines]

Yeah but that shows the links for the specific domain. I am looking to make a general template that will grab the site domain from the langugage files

[Ryk]

Ok, take a look at includes/modules/sideboxes/more_information.php

[bjraines]

I tried linking list this but it did not work

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link('shippinginfo')?>">Shipping & Returns</a></li>

What am I doing wrong?

I tried linking list this but it did not work

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link('shippinginfo')?>">Shipping & Returns</a></li>

What am I doing wrong?

Try

zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING)

and filenames are defined in includes/filenames.php

[bjraines]

so you can't call them directly by their filename....like minus the .php

That didn't work either here is the code I am presenting in tpl_header. I am using version 1.3.6

Thanks!

My direct links to define pages are not working. The last link I tried the old way and way suggested above.
