Looking for just a couple answers..

I was up until 1AM searching for answers and I must be either incredibly stupid or missing something..

The URL to my cart is here. Yes, it's named index1.php because I don't want it live until it's done. I already have a site at index.htm that will be tossed when it is.

  1. See where it says 'Things to Know?' I've created the pages, they're available to be edited in the define pages editor, I swear I defined the new pages in the correct file under 'Herb Magick' but they're not showing up. Is there a place where I have to increase the limit or something? I would also like to have another sidebox so I can list my suggested reading.

  2. I want to place a sidebox on the right side that shows the daily phases of the moon, which can be seen on my current website. I was trying to see if I could 'recycle' the language sidebox but I'm not sure how.

  3. I followed the directions in the tutorial to change the copyright notice in the footer but the stinkin' thing isn't showing up kicks the desk :frusty:

... and now... NOW I am going back to bed..

BTW.. I found the tutorial VERY informative and it did answer a lot of my questions.. these ones I just can't see to get :cool:

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

What happens if you fix things back from index1.php to index.php ... currently none of your pages work ...

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

I didn't physically adjust index.php in any file, I just kept renaming index.php to index1.php in the URL bar to check.

So if it came up like http://www.belladonnascauldron.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=67, I just threw a 1 in to be http://www.belladonnascauldron.com/index1.php?main_page=index&cPath=67

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

Zen Cart is php ... you cannot just rename files and expect them to work ...

The code is looking for index.php ...

If you do not want people to see your shop, you could set it Down for Maintenance in the Web Maintenance ... but this makes it hard for anyone to help you as you would only have your IP Address allowed to see the site ...

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

I have it set for index.php and am working on it now... my issues haven't changed since doing so.

OK, I figured out how to rename sideboxes, now I just need to figure out how to put the moon phase script in there..

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

Under 'Things to know', I do have it defined properly in english.php

define('BOX_HEADING_MORE_INFORMATION', 'Things to know');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_2', 'Knowing the Chakra');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_3', 'Colour Magick');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_4', 'Herb Magick');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_5', 'The Uses of Colour');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_6', 'Making Sense of Incense');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_PAGE_7', 'Essence Oil Properties');

.. I have the pages created, I can bring them up in the Define Pages Editor, but they won't show up in that box..

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

Did you add the code to the sidebox for the new pages you made?

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

Be sure that you are using your own personal templates and overrides directory ...

You appear to be using Classic Template and that will be overwritten on the next upgrade that you do and totally destroy all of your customization ... :eek:

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

OK, so is it possible then to create a custom directory and copy the files over and under config point it to that template directory?

Re: Looking for just a couple answers..

You should read through the tutorials/FAQs ... wiki ... and read through the pinned posts on the various forums ...

You really want to create your own templates and overrides directory and get things setup right from the beginning ... :smile:
