Create About Us Page & Blog with ZenCart?

I am working on my first ZenCart site http://nattiebleu.com/index.php and curious if anyone knows how to integrate pages other than store/product pages that are more content driven like 'About Us', 'Links' and other informational types of pages.

Also has anyone been successful at integrating any kind of blogging system within ZenCart?

Thanks!
Malan D.

Check here in the downloads section for an about us contribution.

www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=182

The read me file also explains how to create additional pages.

Or simply use the built in EZ-pages editor.

Don't know about blog, but EZpages are the way to go. I used it for FAQ, Show Schedule, Links, About Us and you may use them for anything you can think of. Explore.....

I'm not sure if you would call this 'integrated', but here is example of ZC/WP mashup:

I'm going to guess you didn't change the MYTEMPLATE folders in the mod to the name of your custom template.

Yes and no.

It could also be they're using a second language and haven't uploaded there.

But yes, it means there's files missing

Re: Create About Us Page & Blog with ZenCart?

I am using the default language, english, and the
/includes/modules/sideboxes/MYTEMPLATE/information.php
has been changed to my own template's name. Do I need to change anything in the php files maybe?

Ok, got it. I had copied the individual files, but not the whole of the /includes folder. Now I've done that and it's working like a dream :clap: Thanks for your help though, appreciate it!

Re: Create About Us Page & Blog with ZenCart?

Just one more thing: the About us page is not shown is the site map. Any suggestions?
