Adding links to Information sidebox

[kpax]

Hi there,

I've been searching far and wide for an easy way to add my own links to the Information sidebox but unfortunately, I haven't found anything so far.

I know that the links will be called from the information.php file but just wondered if there was a simpler way than having to amend several files to add a simple link?

thanks in advance

Hi there,

I'm just struggling with this issue..

What I've done so far:

1. included a new file with the page's name in html_includes
2. Added my defines to english.php (english is my default language)
3. Added the define into includes/filenames.php

The Link now shows up fine in my 'Information' sidebox but when I click on it, it can't find the page I've uploaded to html_includes??

Would anyone have a step-by-step guide as how to make this work?

thanks

Have a look at the about us module in the downloads/sidebox area and read the steps for this as these are the same as for others

Thanks a lot Kobra!!!

That's exactly what I've been looking for. I just amended that module for my own pages and it works great!!

Thanks!!

Hi kpax and kobra, can you let me know where the about us area that you talk about is, as I got exactly the same issue as I wont to add a new link to the 'information' sidebox, and i am having great difficulty in even getting off first base.

Thank you kobra, I did exactly this and it worked perfect to add two new links. Very smooth!
