how do I edit the Information sidebox?

[mooncavecrystals]

yes, checked file on server, yup, darkness. What I did was change the page 4 entry to this:

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

so logically, after editing this in the define pages editor, it should show up in the sidebox below....it does not. Why doesnt the Return and Refunds show up? I am perplexed.

Do you have this defined somewhere with a link? Or just to echo it in the sidebox?

[mooncavecrystals]

well, i was kind of thinking the page_4.php link would work when I changed the name to Returns_and_Refunds. yes, i know, i am simple minded......LOL

does that make sense?

There are many peices and parts to Page 4 ... just renaming a file doesn't make it happen ...

If you did a search on:
page_2
page 2

you would find a whole gang of entrees for this ...

I could change the text for Page 2 to Fred's Life History by editing a language file, but I would not have to touch a file or make a file for this to work ...

When making new pages, then I have to follow the pattern and get all of the pieces put together correctly and also look at adding a switch to the database configuration table or adding a new define for the define status of the new page ...

Somewhere, you have a step or three left out of this ... so things appear to not be working ...

Also, it is a good idea to keep the filenames lowercase in a more unix like method ...

You might even look at the About Us add-on which shows how to add a whole new page and new sidebox to get a better feel for the locations of the files involved ...

thanks for the info.......this is wayyyyyyyyyy over my head, so i will just keep my return info with the shipping info. Sounds like I have screwed up the other stuff enough.

This is the answer I got to the same question on another site Moon and it seemed to work for me. That was before I just made a monumental ######## up and ruined my site completely, but that's another story.

'You have to edit the language files for that, you will find them in /includes/languages

You will find template and page specific files in the sub directories. Probably the most useful file is english.php, what you change in here affects the whole store so be careful what you change and make sure you have a back up of the file so you can restore it in case of a mistake.

This is the bit that defines the box header texts.'
