Changing the Information Sidebox

[venera15]

Hi, i'm working on my shopping cart and i'm almost there, but i need couple fo things changed. I looked and looked through the forum can't find the answers.How do i changed what pages show on the information sidebox?
For example, i want to take out site map, discount coupons, and gift certificate faqs.
I also want to take out New Products from the Category sidebox, is that possible?
And my last thing is how do i change the button home to go somewhere else? Or if that's not possible can i re-name that button and maybe at the top above the header can i add another link, right now just home and log in show up?
Thanks...

Just an update, i did manage finally to change my home button and to take away the new products, but still looking on how to alter information sidebox.

Did you find a solution to how to change the information sidebox?

If you go in your admin and go to:

Configuration -> Define Page Status

you will find a section to turn the pages in the information box on or off. 4 options listed. Setting a page to option 3 will turn it completely off.


Hope this helps,

yes, i did found out if you edit
includes/modules/sideboxes/information.php

you can turn off links in the information box

now i have to figure out how to ad one of my pages into that sidebox

I dont know how to edit each sidebox accordingly but...

If you log into your admin panel and go to

Tools > EZ-Pages.

Create a new page by clicking on "New file" and when you edit that page, check off "Sidebox" and put a value of "5"

Leave everything else checked as "no", and for fun type the word "test" in the "Html content" area.

Once you're done, if you go to yourdomain.com
There should be a link in the "Important Links" side box, and clicking it will bring you to that page, which SHOULD say "test test etc"

Synopsis - Adding a new file in ez-pages with sidebox option checked will add a link and page to the "Important links" Sidebox.

Conclusion - I think while editing other boxes you may have to continue working inside the directories and editing the .php files.. But dont take my word for it.

Hope that helps a bit?
