information sidebox problem

I have a problem with my information sidebox.

I've used Define Pages Editor for define_aboutus.php but the sidebox opens a 404 page. On hover, my status bar displays mysite.com/index.php?main_page=FILENAME_ABOUTUS
The same problem goes for warranty and payways.

What could be causing this? How do i fix it?

Also, how do i change the order of links in this sidebox?

Re: information sidebox problem

You have a problem with the About Us mod.

Re-read the instructions and make sure you have uploaded all the required files.

Re: information sidebox problem

So, on a fresh install, you can not use Define Pages Editor to edit about_us, warranty and payways page? It's here just for show, right? Interesting...

Thank you for your response!

Re: information sidebox problem

You don't have pages named about_us, warranty or payways on a fresh install. You have to create them (using the about us mod or similar) before they will exist to edit.

You can change the order of links by editing /includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template/information.php.

Re: information sidebox problem

OK, i don't have a fresh install at hand, but i'm sure i did't install ANY module regarding these pages. I instantlly moved to EZpages. And now, i can see those 3 links in my information box and i actually do have them on my Define Pages Editor dropdown.

But, OK, forget about that. How do i sort links in my information box? Currently, i have Shipping-Privacy-Conditions-Contacts and i want Conditions-shipping-Privacy-Contact. How do i do that?

I will install the AboutUs addon later, thank you.

Re: information sidebox problem

Each link is output by code that looks something like this:```php
if (DEFINE_CONDITIONS_STATUS <= 1) {
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a>';
}


Can we see your site? Perhaps your template came with some extra pages.

Re: information sidebox problem

Sorry for the delay, I had to pause my work, i got a baby! :smile:

I installed the AboutUs mod and it works like a charm.

BTW, i had a big big problem with my charset - i need iso-8859-2 and couldn't get it. After a few days, i realized i was using iso_8859_2 in my MY_LANGUAGE.php - oh man... :frusty: Notice the dash vs. underline... It makes me wanna cry...

Re: information sidebox problem

Those dashes and underscores can be sneaky :)

And congratulations!
