Add Pages to More Info Sidebox addon question

The file (installSQL), do I just copy and paste it into the Admin-tools-Install SQL Patches page then hit send? Sorry if this is a dumb question but my site is working and I don't want to screw things up.

That's how it's done. A DB backup first wouldn't hurt.

Re: Add Pages to More Info Sidebox addon question

Thanks Stevesh. One other question, I see all the time on this site that a DB backup is a very good thing. Are you referring to the whole site or certain files? I don't quit understand what is exactly the data base.

Upload the SQL file and in the Admin-Config.-Define Page Status, Page 5,6,7 values are set to 1 but do not see it on my site. What am I missing?

You can backup your DB in your hosting account control panel using phpMyAdmin in the Databases section.

There's also this:

but I haven't tried it.

Re: Add Pages to More Info Sidebox addon question

Thanks for the info. Have any idea why the pages are not showing up on my site after having the values turned to 1 in Define Page Status?

Maybe, since I just installed that mod on a test site and got the same result. Turned out I missed changing the name of a couple of Custom_Folder folders to the name of my custom template. Once I fixed that, it works fine.

Re: Add Pages to More Info Sidebox addon question

I did assume at the beginning that the Custom_Folder meant that. However since then I did figure out what I did wrong... The solution to my problem is that the Mod / Sidebox called more-Info file needed to be merged with my custom Info file. In other words, I do not use the sidebox called "More Information"
