Multiple Issues - Need your help Please!

[SaMortensen]

I have multiple issues that I hope fit into this category of the forums. My site is Knot & Bauble Shoppe and I am new to Zen, I just converted from CRE Pro Loaded.

1. The first issue at hand is I would like to rename the title of the pages showing in the "More Information" sidebox to their appropriate titles, but I cannot seem to find any reference to this in either the book or my searches on the forums. Does anyone have any suggestions?

2. For some reason my side boxes on my right side will not pull up more than what there is now. I checked all my settings in the Layout Box controller to make sure I wasn't missing something, but obviously I am, has anyone else had this issue, if so, can someone help me with this?

3. My About Us page doesn't show up anywhere. I filled in the appropriate text in the Define Pages Editor, as I did the other pages (i.e. Privacy Notice, so on and so forth), but it doesn't pull up in the information box. What am I doing wrong?

4. How do you get your "advertisements" to not show in the two or more of the same boxes? I tried selecting other boxes, but the only groups that show are banner_box_all and Sidebox-banners even though there are other boxes available. (banner_box_all won't show because I have it set to go on the right side and that is in reference to question #2)

5. Links...is there a module or contribution that allows for links to other places for link exchanges, you know, um...for marketing purposes? I'm not finding it anywhere.

6. Last but not least, I cannot get my store information to include my address and such. I read where you need to do something during step 8 of the install, but this was installed for me, and I didn't get to select that information, so now my contact info page just shows a box and such to contact us, with no other information...and I know this is also used on invoices and such, so I think it is important to have this. Anyone have any suggections on this one?

Thank you all in advance for your help on these issues.

1. english.php change the defines will change the title on the page

2. ?? you can not get additional sideboxes to display??

3. Go back and insure that you added/edited the 8 files that require editing

4. ????

5. admin > tools > ezpages

6. admin > config > my store

1. I did not find any reference to those specific pages in my english.php file and believe me I scrolled through there twice...are there more than one? Is there something in the admin section or is this just the includes/language/english.php file?

2. Yes, I cannot get any other side boxes to load on the right side even though I select them to be on that side.

3. What 8 files require editing? See I don't know this for one...I am a newbie and 2, I didn't install this, I had it installed for me. I apologize, but I'm learning.

4. For the banner manager, using sideboxes...they are named banner_box_all, banner_box and Sidebox-banners, but banner_box, and banner_box_all do not show up because of the issue with #2. Regardless, my question was, when I use the manager, sometimes the same advertisement (say like for the ZenCart Link) shows up in two different boxes...how do you prevent this?

5. I tried that - but how do you get those pages to show? Is there a tutorial somewhere for this?

6. As I said, it is not showing there for that option...please reread my question again?

Thank you for your help in this.

No one has ANY suggestions?

1. See tutorial How do I change Page_? (name)

2. Can't answer this for sure without being in your admin (if then). Can you post your Layout Boxes Controller settings? (The whole thing - there might be a clue in something unsuspected...)

3. Download the About Us Page mod, unzip it and look in the readme. That should give full details.

4. How do I set up Banner Ads?

5. There is a thorough explanation of using ez-pages on pp 261-264 of the e-Start book.

6. Configuration > My Store >
Store Name
Store Owner
Country
Zone
...
Store Address and Phone

These fields should all be filled out.

Awesome information! Thankyou,Thankyou, Thankyou!

I have most of the issues worked out that I have written about, thanks to gjh42. But I do have one issue left:
1. Last but not least, I cannot get my store information to include my address and such. I read where you need to do something during step 8 of the install, but this was installed for me, and I didn't get to select that information, so now my contact info page just shows a box and such to contact us, with no other information...and I know this is also used on invoices and such, so I think it is important to have this. Anyone have any suggections on this one?

Now I know you all have told me to go the admin section and believe me I have, my point is, that information is NOT there. This is what I see:

There is no option to insert my address and phone numbers. Am I missing something?

Thank you again for all of your help with this. I am learning SO much with this and really having fun even though I've been alot!

Store Address and Phone

Click on that line and the edit box will appear.

[SaMortensen]

!!!!!!!

Do you know how many times I looked at that and NOT ONCE did I see that line!

HOLY COW!

Sometimes, you feel like a nut....and sometimes you .... erm, feel like a complete " "

Thanks so much for all your help.

My next goal now is to find some solutions with needing to add things to the products page, like purchasing a gift box or gift wrap with the item...any pointers on where I can find that option? Is there a mod for it?

[gjh42]

There is a giftwrap mod in Downloads, as I recall, and swguy has several marketing mods like Better Together linked in his sig.
