About Us Page ERROR

Hello every one. This is my second day with the same page. Finally though I found a patch for adding a About Us page, I follow every instrution given on how to install it. But now I get this error (see here) http://scrapbookinggoodies.com/index.php?main_page=about_us

Apart from this, this page is suppost to appear on the side box, but is not showing. Can any one help me. 2 days of madness is almost enough!

I have added though this extra files in the clasic look. Do I need to upload them on the new template?

Thank you.

Hello every one. I fix the main error, but not as I wanted, the About us page does not show in the sidebox. I did all that the instructions given to me, but YET nothing happens: http://scrapbookinggoodies.com/index.php?main_page=about_us

Also, there is an extra title which I do not know where it comes from (so I can not iliminate it.

Thanks for your help.

I also find an error which is found in the CSS, I do not even know why! I am pretty good at CSS, but this beats me:

This ID combine with something else!?

See

HEADING_TITLE

See page: http://scrapbookinggoodies.com/index.php?main_page=about_us

Please help me!

HEADING_TITLEIt's not a CSS issue.
You deleted HEADING_TITLE from your language file.

You will probably get a better answer if you post this question in the "Community Contributed Add-Ons/other modules" forum and include "About Us Page" in the topic title of your inquiry. The author of the contribution is more likely to monitor that forum. Also, you may want to check if you have the latest version of this contribution. The latest is v1.3.0.13 updated on August 29, 2007. The author has done a rewrite of the installation instructions.

The HEADING_TITLE that appears on your about page is simply an undefined text holder. You will need to find the file where "HEADING_TITLE" is supposed to be defined and enter the verbage you want to appear in it's place.

I downloaded the About Us Page contribution files and tried to locate where that definition is (probably in a file called /about_us.php which may be located in the extra_definitions folder) but due to time constraints couldn't take the time to discover exactly where this change should be made.

The "About Us Page" will not appear in a side box, only a link to the actual page should appear here. (Can you imagine squeezing all that verbage in a side box?).

I suggest downloading the latest version of the contribution and installing all over again and follow the instructions in the readme file precisely. It's very easy to miss or misinterprete a step in the instructions. Also, since the instructions were recently rewritten perhaps they will clear up the problem.

BTW the about me page looks fine on your site except for the HEADING_TITLE which can be fixed and the fact that the link to the page is missing from the Information sidebox.

Go to YOURSTORE/includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/about_us.php and change the text in the 'About US' quotes to whatever you want

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'About Us');

It looks like you code is something like define('HEADING_TITLE', 'HEADING_TITLE'); ... or missing altogether.

Hope that helps.

I meant to add, start using the Developers Tool Kit, in the admin display go to tools -> developers tool kit, at the bottom of the page where it says "look up all files" enter the words or code snippet you are searching for and then from teh dropdown next to it select "all files" or either catalog or admin depending on what you are looking for. I have figured out a lot just by using that search!:smile:

Hi, I really believed that I had deleted the HEADING_TITLE from your language file, but I did not. I still no cigar.

Please help me, this is consuming my days...

:frusty::frusty::frusty:

What is the content of your /includes/languages/english/YOURTEMPLATENAME/about_us.php file?

Go to /includes/languages/english/YOURTEMPLATENAME/about_us.php and delete all of the code in that page. Copy this code and paste it in, save and upload. If you would like it to say something other than "About Us" just change the words in the ' ' after 'HEADING_TITLE',
