    Default Important links side box

    How do I change the links that appear i the important links side box. I've done this before, but cannot find it now and as I am owrking on a new site, need to get my usual links in that side box.

    As an aside, I have another question, where can I find the meta tags that affect the mai page and other pages. The title meta tag still says Zen-Cart the Art of ecommece. Where can change it. I was lookng in the tutorials and faq section but cold not find anything on it.

    Default Re: Important links side box

    Thanks, I'm not sure if I was clear, I wasn't trying to change the side box wording, but want to change the contents of the side box that has the hearer Important Links, I usually have links to my other sites, but right now it has the default links in the side box.

    Thanks for the information on the other part of my question, think that is exactly what I was looking for.

    Thank you very much.

    Df,
    If you want to change the links in the sidebox information you will half to edit 6 to 7 core files. Very lengthy.
    It is easier to turn off the headings in the Information Sidebox to customize it the way you want:

    A. If client does not need Newsletter Unsubscribe Link
    1. Admin Panel/ Configuration/ Email Options/ Display "Newsletter Unsubscribe" Link = false

    B. If client does not need Gift Certificates Link
    1. Admin Panel/ Modules/ Order Totals/ Gift Certificates - uninstall it

    C. If client does not need Discount Coupons
    1. Admin Panel/ Modules/ Order Totals/ Discount Coupons - uninstall it

    D. If client does not need Shipping & Returns & Privacy notice
    1. Admin Panel/ Configuration/ Define Pages/ Define Shipping & Returns = set to 3

    E. If client does not need Privacy notice
    1. Admin Panel/ Configuration/ Define Pages/ Define Privacy Notice = set to 3

    Go to Zen-Cart Support and click on Downloads and do a research on Links Manager.

    Usually, the Important Links sidebox contains links to EZ Pages you've created, or are there in the ZC installation with demo. To edit, add, remove them go to Admin/Tools/EZ Pages.
