    Don't really understand what you're getting at, but if you really do mean the Information sidebox, then edit includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php and save back to your override

    Ok.
    I mean the "information" sidebox that contains the categories such as privacy policy, conditions of use, shipping and returns, etc.

    I would like to change some of those categories to , say, "about us"
    one I would like to link to my WP blog, some I don't need at at all.

    I did go to the information.php but I don't know what to edit and that is what I need help with.

    TIA!

    You can edit their CONTENT using the DEFINE PAGES editor under tools.

    You can turn them on/off using the DEFINE PAGES status under conifguration.

    I don't know how to add to it, or to make it do what you want. Hope i helped a bit. I'm new at this too.

    I know how to edit the content of each category, but to actually change or disable the individual categories or add new ones?

    There are settings on the Define Page Status:
    Define Privacy Status
    Enable the Defined Privacy Link/Text?
    0= Link ON, Define Text OFF
    1= Link ON, Define Text ON
    2= Link OFF, Define Text ON
    3= Link OFF, Define Text OFF

    Any text that is displayed on your Zen Cart pages has been defined in the language files ...

    To locate which file you should customize by copying to your templates and overrides directory then editing your changes, you can use the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ...

    In the bottom input box enter the text that you are searching for ...
    information

    Select Catalog ... and click Search ...

    This will locate all occurances of the word: information in all of the php files ...

    From here, you can determin which one is affecting the section(s) of text display that you wish to change ...

    Default Re: how do I edit the Information sidebox?

    yes, I did that :) that is how I was able to change the names in the define pages editor. I went to the file below and made the changes. However NONE of the ones i changed show up in the information box, even after adding text to them. THAT is my issue.....and have no idea how to solve it Any ideas?

    /home/mooncave/public_html/shopping/includes/languages/darkness/english.php

    Line #135 : // information box text in sideboxes/information.php

    Line #136 : define('BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION', 'Shop With Confidence');

    Line #137 : define('BOX_INFORMATION_PRIVACY', 'Privacy Notice');

    Line #138 : define('BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS', 'Conditions of Use');

    Line #139 : define('BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING', 'Shipping');

    Line #140 : define('BOX_INFORMATION_RETURN POLICY', 'Return Policy');

    Line #141 : define('BOX_INFORMATION_CONTACT', 'Contact Us');


    oh wait....i see an underscore that I forgot..........ahahahahah

    Do a view on the file on the server for:
    /includes/languages/darkness/english.php

    make sure that you have the right file in there with your changes ...

    Also make sure that you are on the /darkness template ...
