adding a link to sideboxes

[umnik29]

Hi:

I have a link htat I would like to add to my sidebox and I do not seem to figure out how to have a link point to a physical file

Here is what I have done so far.

1) I found information.php file and have added the following line
if (DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO_STATUS <= 1) {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_FAQ) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_FAQ . '</a>';
}

2) the line item shows up in the side box, BUT how do I connect the link to an actual physical file? I looked adn could not find anything that would allow me to enter the file name? is the actual file name kept in the database?

in other word, where does the call zen_href_link(FILENAME_FAQ) go to?

please let me know,

JOhn

I checked a default Zen Cart install and do not fing the term "FILENAME_FAQ" -
Where did you get this term and/or why did you use it?
If you created it, then you need to provide the supporting entries.

hi,

thanks for a reply. here is a documentiaont of what I did:

1) located /includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php file
my goal is to delete more links

2) looked at how the default links were constructed.

3) added the following line of code
if (DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO_STATUS <= 1) {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_FAQ) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_FAQ . '</a>';
}


4) I saw the FAQ link on the information sidebox after that.

5) The problem that I am having is that zen_href_link(FILENAME_FAQ) points to nowhere at this time and I am not sure what should I edit ot have it point to somewhere.

for example:

if (DEFINE_SHIPPINGINFO_STATUS <= 1) {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING . '</a>';
}

points to some sort of shipping file which can be edited through the page editor.

Does anybody know wherezen .href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_SHIPPING points to?

Thanks

Get the "about us" from the sownloads/other section here. There are about 8 edits/files that are required to install it.

You can learn from this what is required for any other

hi:

Thanks for the lead on the ABOUT US package.

IS THERE A DOCUMENTATION ON WHY WE NEED TO DO 7 UPDATES TO ENTER ONE PAGE in sideboxes?

I followed the instruction and could not add the page. I suppose I did something wrong. But doing it blindly without understanding the structure of the zen cart is somwhat ridicuoulous and reminds me of a blinded monkey trying to operate the equipment

Does anybody know on how to add the link to the sidebox such that it will dsplay on the sidebox?

thannkyou

If followed step by step the about us mod adds the page...and it displays.

Without actually looking - each add/edit is for a reason.

Fileames.php defines the existance
html_includes adds the page for editing content
about_us.php defines the display text associated with this page
about_us.php other one I think allows it to be enabled/diabled from the admin
tpl_about_us_default.php makes this available
header_php.php does something

Has to do with the structure of some files get the data and others define how it is displayed.
